thanks
Are you
?
Would I have a better chance with ||pure nail||? i currently have ||coiled nail||
It's just more damage, so yes
ILLEGAL
get $?
Acquire job
Part time
Parents are there for a reason, if your charisma stat is high enough, you get free stuff
i have the game i just think it will be fun since i only have it on console
I'd say it's more ok if you already own it on another platform
Is this even allowed to be mentioned here
i think its more about how much of a pushover your parents are but unless theyre rich they have better things to spend money on like taxes
Pings off
It's still a site
Don't mention t*xes bro
*she/they
Go <@&283547423706447872>
I do not care about people's pronouns online, I call everyone whatever my brain says they are based off their pfp because I don't care to check, I'll call them by their pronoun once they correct me
i just default to they for everyone
That wasn't for you pretty sure
I know, I can still reply to what they said even if what they said wasn't directed to me
Pings off
Fair
Ask kiwiwi
I call everyone "he" instead
It's all ok as long as the person knows you're talking to him
idk man (gender neutral)
Idrk why no pings matter so much to people, just go on do not disturb or mute the server. But ok
Also it's just a notification
Ship is photosensitive and the yellow highlight hurts their eyes
The notification is never the problem for them
Mostly same, yeah, but if their pfp looks like the embodiment of "she" then I call them a she
pronounce is an evil plan made by big company to sell special banners 🧍🏻
I see
Why u speak in 3rd person?
Coping mechanism + enjoyment
oh so you'll call me a she? 😭
thought these were funny
Well I think blue light filter is your worst nightmare then
oh yes
Pings
Untill you correct me, yes
yea fair
Ik, I forgot, and I can't go back and edit it to not have a ping without deleting it and resending it
Pinging this as your reply is evill
I turned off @ on that one
@near forum (i am evil)
When you reply to someone, just above the send button you can toggle if it pings them or not
well now we're helping someone
That's why I gave you information
||How many charms can change visually in the charm menu like Grimmchild||
Thank you
it's the only one
AFAIK, 5 (||counting kingsoul||)
||oh yea also king's soul I forgot about it||
none unless they become a new charm entirely and lso the other one
afaik?
As far as i know
Pings 
Ship should just give up on the no pings dream
I didn't ping them
At least some people listen, it's good enough
||Grimmchild, kingsoul||, and all the ||fragile charms||, once they become ||unbreakable||. So, 5.
oh yea I forgot about these
And ||flukenest||
When
It does?
that's new?
oops :[
also is that an omori reference i see
It has a blue dot in the middle when you hover on it
Isn't that just the selection visual?
THAT because it's hollow in the middle
it's just the selecting animation
I don't think hovering over it counts
None of the other hollow charms have it though
sans
There are more hollows?
If so then yeah
Cause none of the other charms have a hope through the middle
there's more hallows?
||shaman stone and soul eater||
it's not hollow tho
they have something in the middle but pretty black
nomnomonomonomnomnomnomnommonomonnomnomnomonmo
tasty?
I saw the ||monomon|| in there
yes
cool
its in there at least twice
Yep yep
Almost 3, at the end it's missing the last n
Oh wait yeah they have a background texture
yep
it's more noticeable on the ||soul eater tho||
i think that would spell monmon
So these are all of them
Silksong is ss or sk
Sk
sk
Cool
I was also confused, apparent ss means some n*zi military or something
ss has other meanings which i was talking to kermit about earlier
||steel soul silksong||
oh
damn
my giant fat massive cat is laying on my foot it is very nice like weighted blanket
Schutzstaffel is apparently what it's called, @dense panther
Anytips for ||hive knight|| anyone
interesting lmao
Untill your foot starts going numb
Holy spoilers
||when he does the bees attack you can spam him or heal one HP||
Which attacks are you struggling with?
i guess tc really didn't consider that
man I love doing ss
let the peak music encourage you
just not much time to heal
shouldn't the bot delete all photos?
Doing ||
||?
Unless it's marked as spoiler
no ||shade skip||
You can heal when he is ||vomiting bees||
I think it checks for keywords instead of image processing
Since it doesn't count as text
||So im trying that one acid skip on crossroads where you use crystal dash to get to fog canyon immediately, but there is an some sort of input delay before im able to use crystal dash when sliding on a wall. Does anyone know what the problem is and how to solve it? (Im on keyboard).||
doing snaman
Can you record a video and send it in #speedrunning ?
probably just timing wrong because it's a really tight window for it
||walk off the platform, hold left till you hit the wall, let go of left, hold cdash. Letting go of left is important||
||crossroads acid skip|| isn’t that tight
It’s one of the easiest ones
although I personally didn't do it but I saw a friend doing it on mobile so yea
You don’t need to let go
oh I should learn it then to skip ||isma's||
If you wanna
I want to get a sub hour run eventually
||maybe my cdash timing was off||
Then definitely
31 mins around
Any% NMG is 30:49
Ro you think sub30 is possible?
Sub 31 requires ||itemless baldur||
For humans
for tasing probably
Almost impossible probably
I just said, for humans
TAS is like 24 minutes
I guess 49 seconds does seem like a small amount, untill you realize speedrunners value .3 second time saves
yep yep
this is starting to get uncomfortable
Zvypurr made extremely minor mistakes in his run
||Missed the QGA a few times||
But sub 30 would not be possible imo
if your cat is sleeping on you no matter how uncomfortable you get you can't move
it's just a cat rule
Unless a new tech or route is discovered, but that's unlikely with a 9y/o game
i adjusted and he started purring because hes a weirdo and to him im basicall petting him
||ibaldur|| was discovered abt a year ago
So maybe possible but unlikely yes
I did say unlikely, not impossible
Yeah so I agreed
I'm on mobile, I type slow
I didn't see ur message till after i sent mine
Me too
pet him more he deserves it
me too
||how good is my time if i am able to beat false knight, go to hornet and get dash, get mantis claw and beat mantis lords, beat soul master and get dive n 32 mins||
Bcuz I'm able to
why would you beat ||mantis Lords|| in a speed run?
Not a speedrun
A sort of self routed challenge run
oh it's pretty good then
||if you fight Hornet in Kingdom's edge before meeting her in city of tears, what happens if you go to the fountain? Does the cutscene and diolgoue play?||
"@cerulean verge" 💀
probably not gonna change
Bro I didnt expect to be tagged😂 , perfect timing tho
I saw "●●●Found Lace is typing..." and thought that username was funny
Your profile is funny too
lmao
high key it is
How much time does ||epogo|| save
30 sec?
Becuz i suspect one wouldn't get the ||mantis pogos to the platform either, if you came from the entrance to mantis village||
About a minute
Thanks
i seem to be softlocked in ||fungal wastes||
You can’t be
Nope
yea any hollow knight voice channel
ive literally tried for 1 hour, there aint any awys out
He needs vc perms i think? Or no
Send a screenshot
ok
You can down-slash on ||purple mushrooms||
They make you bounce up
Goes for a lot of objects. Spikes, enemies
That's my takeaway too
But not ||thorns in greenpath and such||
Yea a lotta people should know that more
Not the first time ive seen it happen either
gimme a sec
i know
the bench is in the area im softlocked in

im softlocked here
i cant jump on to the top platform
i dont have claw
and there arent any passages below
||pogo mantis young spawn||
Go left
This too
Um no
You have to do some lever hitting
That’s how you get it
Wait I think it’s the ||jump and dash|| part
Let’s see
I can send things now
bruh.. im so stupid 🤣
If i get this then i can save 1 min from my runs
But i never got it in a real run, this one's in practice, so I'm always 1 minute behind
Will do it eventually
Bruh i said idk
||If im unable to do acid skip for forgotten crossroads, should I just head to fogcanyon through greenpath? Do I still get crystal heart?||
You can’t do ||acid skip|| without ||crystal dash|| anyways
||Im probably not gonna do any acid skips, but do I still need crystal dash for something else?||
Are you doing the speedrun achievements
Eitherway, it’s a requirement to access ||isma’s tear and monarch wings||
Just large gaps in general
||im kinda tryna speedrun (but without acid skips because I can't do them. Which do you think is faster to get? Isma's tears or monarch wings?)||
||ismas tear. Double jump needs cdash, or an incredibly difficult shade skip. Ismas is faster. But the fastest route needs a spike tunnel dash||
||You need isma's or shade cloak. Ismas is definitely a lot faster||
Is this for the 5 hour achievement?
||not really, im tryna do a speedrun that doesn't really involve very precise movements.||
Only progress relevant thing ||monarch wings gives access to is lurien, but you can reach him with a simple pogo||
||ismas is required for monomon assuming you dont perform acid skips||
||Iirc the acid skip into fog canyon isnt too tight. You can do the deepnest route instead of qga, loses like 20 seconds. (For any% route)||
Or|| shade cloak||
yeah that too but at that point you’re doing a different speedrun
||only issue is I tried multiple times and I was never really able to activate crystal dash. Even when i rarely managed to time it, I end up hitting the top floor edge. (im on keyboard)||
You don't have input lag right?
I'm sure if you ask in #speedrunning they'll know exactly what you should change
i dont think so? i dont suffer any noticible input delay while im playing. im not 100% sure if my timing is just way off and that i need to be frame perfect.
You can do as thommie suggests
Better option
In the meantime I ll see if i can record a video with inputs
I didn't realize you cannot do that skip if you have ||isma's||
||dude grimm is so annoying why does it force me to take up 2 charm slots for grimmchild||
not like it's difficult 🧍🏻
You don't want the challenge?
its not really hard its just annoying
he still has to beat him at least once
this is not my first playthrough lmao
i just havent played in a LOONG time so i dont remember how to fight him
if he wants 112%
you'll get it pretty fast
||Secret grimm troupe ending||
going for that
No ||nkg|| required
|| he needs to beat normal Grimm once before being able to vanish them||
||also is sharp shadow good? i always run it regardless for the extra dash distance but idk if its actually good||
nope
damn
I don't use it
i just find it convenient
could arguably be okayish if it gives you soul
Very ass aside from two scenarios, even then it's debatable
it's one of these neet||charms|| that aren't too good but it's nice to have them
ah alright
well idk what to run for a ||nail build||
||using quick nail, mark of pride, and steady body and still have 3 open slots||
Charms page screenshot?
show your inventory
with or without||Grimm child?||
||without||
id just have one more open with it
||Fragile strength|| is super good.
||I'll go with strength but you don't have it unbreakable so shaman is the go to ||
im gonna hold off until i make it ||unbreakable||
Do you know how ||divine|| works?
It's 13k
sick
15
oh
15*
Oh I think 13 was for %&#$@
Thats 9
either way im close to it i can just grind ||colosseum||
Also spoiler tag|| greed||
||yea and 12 for hearts I think||
good idea
||or farm hoppers I find hoopers a better farming method||
||i can clear the second trial in a couple minutes||
||if i use unbreakable strength and abuse great slash||
well good luck
I honestly don't remember sorry
||but I do remember that if you get all masks and use all the charms for life blood it will be enough||
||im putting off the grey mourner||
i have everything else but that done
nvm lol u can just ||put on fragile heart and the 2 other lifeblood charms||
||So I noticed that I can’t start a crystal dashing on the edge of a wall. However, I can do it immediately as soon as I touch a wall with no edges. Does anyone know about that issue? ||
||shade|| was there cuz I'm bad
Don't know
What does no edges mean?
||The red ones are the edge. I can’t activate c-dash as soon as I touch the wall edge there, but when I tried on the wall that’s a bit far from the edge, I manage to activate c-dash immediately. ||
Ohh
I don't really know, it might just be the hitbox of the wall
The hitbox mod might give a better idea, but I'm not too sure
||I need harm builds for p4 shell, soul and nail binding separately||
||probably because I think noticed a slight movement from the knight whenever I land on the edge, that's probably what is preventing me from c-dashing.||
Is that not the ||knight|| clinging to the wall cus of ||claw||
||are you struggling on any bosses in general? (id recommend strength charm regardless of binding.)||
||I think there might be technically two separate walls: the edge and the rest of the wall. The knight might be moving to the "other wall" when he's sliding down.||
Ohhh
Cool
||The bosses are okay, soul tyrant and pv are the only problem||
That's just an assumption though.
||which charms do you usually use without bindings?||
||Pantheon bosses|| are harder than ||dream bosses|| right? Especially||soul tyrant||? Or is he the same?
||Same thing, only problem is they come back to back and you only have a break after 5 bosses. It adds the survival factor as well.||
||The bosses that you see in pantheons are mostly the same difficulty in the normal world. Except for p5 and some ascended and radiant HoG bosses.||
True
||Arenas are set to ascended difficulty. Though some bosses instead come with their second variant||
||Strength, Quick Slash, Steady Body, sharp shadow, Idk what to do with 2 other charms||
dont use || sharp shadow||
||I can't pogo him so I instead rely on it for damage||
||It is also decent against pv no?||
||tips for Pure Vessel? Using strength, mop, quick slash and stal shell(will not change this one)||
Personally i never found much use for ||shade dash|| when fighting ||pv|| so preference ig?
||Try to practice pure vessel and without steady body and sharp shadow. Learn to pogo incase you're planning on doing charm binding (try using keyboard if you struggle to pogo, its much easier imo) ||
||strength, quick slash, shaman stone, spell twister||
How?
How much depth do you want
Its great, just that || sshadow || isnt
I am a simple man
Interesting. ||I only ever used shade dash for the attack where he shoots the swords in all directions, and even then half the time I fit between them, soo idk||
||I think you should try strength, quickslash, and mark of pride. Then add either soul eater or heart charm||
|| sharp shadow requires more focus on sdash cd even when not going through an enemy, as well as messing with muscle memory without.
In pv, the extra dash distance leads to less possible hits and with strength, that loses damage.
Stuff like pillars and daggers are also built around base dash distance, and sshadow makes those punishes / dodges more difficult, alongside others
And also just others charms are mega op so -2 notches is eh ||
i mean its not necessarily but it can just be nice, for example you can || shade dash the triple slash attack -> turn around -> shade soul for 2-3 hits (80-120) dmg ||
So || Strength, Quick Slash, Steady Body what else should I put?||
Huh, didn’t realise that. I always just ||pogoed|| it
||Sbody|| gets me hit😔
|| shaman, you can really use ddark here during the spike attack ||
|| grubsong + mop/qfocus/shaman ||
|| mop and qfocus would be typically better than shaman for newer players to pv ||. For which of the two, just up to preference
true
Why are there so many places that I just cannot go in ||crystal peaks even after having dash and mantis claw||
||you can’t yet||
oh ok
||cause you can’t go there yet, you need another item from later on. Return once you have it||
Hmkay then
||Shaman seems easier. I don't know how do you even use q focus during the fight||
Not trying to spoil but once you get the item you’ll recognise immediately how it helps
Good luck!
it simply opens more || healing windows||
and increases some too (ex stagger)
and || shaman || is absolutely the hardest
This Parkour kinda easy and hard at the same time
In what area?
||A lotta lasers which don't move||
||should i give pale ore + 800 geo to strenghten the nail? or theres stronger or different nails to use it on||
I think Ik where you are
||And the platforms that flip, long hallway||
||there’s only one nail which is what you have, so upgrade it||
||oh ok btw does pale ore have any other more important uses? or just upgrades||
||just upgrades. There’s 6 in total, and each upgrade costs one more ore than the last, up to a max of three||
Come back to that place once you've advanced a bit in the game

🔹 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.
I don’t get it whats the wrong in my message
It's an unnecesary spoiler
Read dyno's message
"help referencing in-game content that the player has not necessarily reached"
I read it but I don’t get it my english is not that good
Oh ok ok
Ok i will delete it
Thanks

are these useful or just sell them all
Sell
they got no purpose?
||that's their only purpose||
to be sold
i see
||if wanted, youcan keep one of each for collection||
||how many are there in total?||
I'm curious too
||even with the Crystal heart im guessing I can't do the vertical heights||
Nah that’s smth later on
There is a nice build for ||absrad|| I saw
||Deep Focus Quick Focus Strength Grubsong ||
I think it makes it so much less punishing
make that 9
its always right at the end its the last 3 jumps
ive spent the last 2 hours on this
sounds awful but if it works it works
im losing my mind
Does any1 know what’s the order of getting ability’s?
Does any1?
Which abilities? ||Spells or movement abilities||
||vengeful spirit, dash, claw, after that it's open because you can reach many locations||
Thks
||i checked the map and theres some orange eye big ah bug near dirtmouth or temple of egg what is it||
Jump
I hit jump to cancel
yeah just press ||the crystal dash or jump buttom again||
i tried
There is a nice build for ||absrad|| I saw
||Deep Focus Quick Focus Strength Grubsong ||
I think it makes it so much less punishing
not once have i failed to an enemy its always been the last 3 jumps in the same room where it ends
@feral mulch they are obviously no where near reaching that, dont mention it
Something of interest later
I see
I just thought since they have ||the locations on the map||
first stage yeah, after that not really.. atleast for me
||They have the black egg location, you get thst as soon as you arrive in city||
Practically
||What does quick focus and deep focus do again?||
The floorless stage works too
yee
||I usually just do soul eater shaman stone qslash||
Hello
Ooh
||quick focus is speed heal and deep focus is double heal ||
I'm from hk general
actually ||shape of unn|| is great for that as well
I see
Thnx
||why are you looking at my spoiler bruh ew||
Ignore that
Do you actually need help? Otherwise it might be better to go back to #hk-general
||What Abt the horizontal spikes||
||Soul eater is a good idea. Soul eater + quick focus + shaman + grubsong||
||I think it'll be better to play more offensive then defensive||
I think they can be ||ddarked||
||just dodge those, you can heal any other time||
This place stinks
||Best time to heal is when it staggers||
Not necessarily defensive but need stuff that would take it for guranteed. Since this game is full of surprises and I don't like wasting half an hour for each retry
Go back to #hk-general dawg
not enough for the few of us who are terrible at dodging 😔
||any1 got tips for mantis lords?||
You'd also need to ||pv with those charms||
||be patient, prefer nail over spells imo||
Lwk genuinely trying to dodge helps a lot and will work most of the time
o
||PV is so much easier in p5 cuz there is no boss before him and I have full soul and 4 lifebloods||
||react to their dashes. stay near the centre of the arena. Try to dodge with minimal movement, like walking away when they come from above||
And ||use spells||
||I got to nkg in p5 and had my ass obliterated||
||For some reason NKG is a lot harder than PV. Even despite the soul donator who goes by "failed champion"||
lowkey for me too tho they're p much the same now
have you fought him before ||p5 ||?
took me about ||15 attempts to beat nkg and less than 10 to beat pv||
||For donation you need to pass the checks with zote and MARKOTH||
Does updating to an old version of hollow knight corrupt saves or anything?
It could be risky
||If you’re struggling too much, you can fight them later. ||
What about just to the previous version?
when i jump here i hear smt what is it?
What exactly do you hear?
what all attacks have you unlocked?
idk smt powering up or smt
uhh idk
||spinny thing i guess?||
Can you record a video or audio?
i dont have a recordr
Does ||dashmaster || recover ||shade dash|| faster?
No
its in the undiscovered corner
It would
like where my dead thing is
Should
Sucks doesn't it
I meant what all ||spells|| do you have
Ain’t nth like watching hollow knight videos at 3 am
if it sounds like pebbles or something, it's for later ig since idk if you have what is needed
i think only the starter one
||Is that an actual secret location in the game||
idk that place doesn't look familiar to me
but if it sounds like something then maybe
soo i cant unlcok the shortcut to the bench yet?
||I think it’s a shortcut. You’ll need to navigate the room and do some platforming to unlock it. ||
||is joni blessing any good?||
mostly no, maybe for specific things
i see
like if you're fighting someone who doesn't let you ||heal|| it's one way to have extra hp
||if i have 146 completed journal entries but am missing stalking devout and catcher can I still turn it in?||
Can you explain more what do you mean
Hi bro. Not yet, I've just turned on my laptop and I'm going to look for the key
Do you wanna to tell you where you can find the key ?
No, you need a specific 146
||Explore more of upper deepnest||
what all abilites are there
i have the claw, the heart, and cloak
and nail
Missing a few. Try going down from ||City Of Tears||
||huh is the map supposed to look like that when you bought the map but didn't get to the dreamer?||
like what? what else am i missing
who is the ||dreamer||
Well if you don't mind being spoiled:
||Monarch Wings, Isma's Tear, and Shade Cloak out of the movement ones.||
The large masks on your map.
yeah i need to kill them no
Reaching them is how you progress the story further.
Yeah, just about a little above midgame.
don't stress about it
was i already meant to have them orrr cause i just explore the areas i find
Yes. You get the icons with the ||dreamnail.||
How would names of abilities help them
wait sooo im meant to go to ||deepnest|| rn to the icon?
The icons are something you should move toward at some point, it doesnt need to be a priority
I first told them where to go if you scroll above.
You aren't meant to go anywhere in particular, it's just a provided direction. My recommendation would be to explore everything else as much as possible and then get to the icons. But if you just happen to stumble upon them while exploring, there is no harm in tackling them.
well i dont really know where to go rn im in some area where lots of jellyfishes are near |||queens station|| i got to cornifier but some thick black wall is blocking me and i cant get past
Explore the right side of ||City Of Tears.||
woahi just got my last shard to get the mask in ||queens station||
i bought 3 from ||sly||
i can send you my inventory if that helps
Since you described it, it wouldn't really be necessary. As I said ||right side of City Of Tears.|| It leads into at least two new areas.
Where are you now ||pop||?
Can you show your map and inventory?
Guys where can i find 3 ||pale ores||?
Depends on which ones you've already gotten. There are 6 total.
||one is at colo. One is at the top of crystal peaks.||
I don't remember others
I have ||colo, seer and smth else||
do i need something specific or no because i saw a statue when i interacted it said a simple lock with a simple keyhole do i need the ||simple key||
||hive done?||
Go to the bottom of ||Ancient Basin.|| Somewhere you couldn't go before will now be open for you.
OK ig
Yes, that's also a path if you can get a ||simple key.|| But as I said the right side of ||City of tears||. You can reach it through ||resting grounds||.
It would help if you could send your ||City Of Tears|| map.
Btw am I any close to finishing the main story of the game? @short kettle
i cant really get into ||city of tears|| rn i somehow got into ||overgrown mounds|| or something like that
and i just got this
Okay there is one in each of these: ||deepnest, crystal peaks, grubfather, ancient basin||.
I just remembered
There are two in ||crystal peaks||
One at the top, and one near a boss
Oh yh i have ||basin|| i js need the other 3 then
||what does enraged guardian give?||
||a mask shard isrc||
Ohhh
Pretty close, yeah. But the game has a lot more to offer after if you want to continue playing (which is definitely recommended).
Ty
Yeah that's cool.
Wait so wheres the one in ||deepnest||?
Ive heard its at the bottom but i cant find ts
guys whats the best boss to practice parrying
Go left from the ||hot spring bench and there should be a breakable wall on a ledge.||
sooo should i still head into ||city of tears ||
Yes.
Okay thank you
Depends entirely on why.. but || pv || is a good one
k ill send a map once im there
just practicing timing in general, and wanna be able to parry every boss
You can view the map from your inventory you know.
Story Spoiler question|| btw are we opposing the king or helping? I cant understand||
Is it from ||nosk||…?
how do you parry his spikes attack
Yes,
Oh lord
oh right
Can we run discord in ps5?
Not much of either. It's more nuanced than that but you could say helping.
You dont
what do i do after getting the|| white fragment in white palace?||
you cant parry all attack?
or not that ive ever seen
parrying in hk is overall pointless so idk much about it tbh
Do you have the other || fragment ||?
Okay, so, you definitely haven't explored all of ||Resting Grounds|| yet. Mind sending me your map of that area?
If you only have one, explore ||Queen's Gardens||.
POINTLESS? no the hell it isnt
alright
it does something cool
Excluding enjoyability and whatnot **
i only got there with the ||tramp pass|| and then i got the ||dream nail|| and then i just left lol
It serves no effective purpose that isnt just fun
It's true unfortunately
noticed i stopped enjoying hk honestly, its all about time and grinding lately, bosses dont give that dopamine rush anymore
Go there and use ||dive||.
parrying has saved me lots of times
kk
Usually just avoiding the attack instead of parrying it is far more effective.
Hollow Knight isn't a parry based game.
parrying is supposed to save you if you couldn't
should i buy ||simple key|| or ||elegant key||? are they needed?
||simple pretty soon yeah but elegant not rn||
If you have the money for them, yes.
i can only buy one i have like 1.5k
Don't rush it then.
It's accidental saves
Which with perfect play, could have been dodged
Not that i can talk since I haven't finished ||pantheons|| but regardless, it's true
You can get them when you have nothing else to do.
Or well, when you are loaded on money.
Where should I go for the ||hive||? @short kettle
no i wouldnt say that, since i got better at parrying it has saved me lots of times intentionally, plus parrying does dmg while dodging doesnt
||Take the tram from there to kingdom's edge.||
Parrying does not do damage.
erm yes it does?
plus you're closer to the enemy rather than if you were dodging
Erm no it doesn't.
what do i do with the|| love key?||
so you dont have to return to do more damage
That's cool
But
There's a video on parrying in youtube
You might want to check
There's three parries "the early, the perfect, and the late one"
The early one makes you get hit even through the parry
The perfect one doesn't do damage to either
And the late one does damage to the enemy
But it's not faster because it creates freeze frames
An entrance from ||Kingdom's Edge into City Of Tears lets you use it on a gate.||
ok but freeze frames doesnt actually make the game itself longer, its just like if irl you had adrenaline, time wouldnt be moving slower, its just you thinking faster
True
But that time could've been spent on a well timed pogo instead
so it doesnt actually slow you down that much
ok, but either pogo or late parry, both do damage
and parry lets you be closer to the enemy than pogo
@short kettle what charms do you recommend i use?
i think this is going the wrong way
True
I don't know exactly why it's slower. I js saw it in the video.
i have my opinion
and you have an opinion
it seems i cant change your opinion
so lets leave it be
Ok
||I have defeated the final boss, what should I do now? I have 61% completion or so||
get 112% glass soul completion
||congrats, you've done exactly 50% of the game||
||I am not doing glass soul||
Use ||spells|| a lot and equip ||Shaman Stone||. You don't have many nail charms.
||I feel lost uwu||
Explore more before fighting the final boss
i mean should i buy some charms that i can get or not needed
btw wdym by final boss
No worries
It was like 47% for me
||the vessel||?
||I have killed him lol||
||I guess I could do the DLCs||
||i meant thk i guess||
If you're not having a hard time in fights, you can afford to wait.
big spoiler alert || there are many final bosses||
If the final boss you fought was ||The Hollow Knight||, you can start working towards ||another ending.||
idk i simply CANT enjoy the game anymore, i want to, but i cant
maybe its a me problem idk
112 done?
but everytime i get far enough in a game, its just about grinding
Cool
even after achieving something i still dont get that dopamine rush
I WANT IT
but i cant get it
||it was, how do i start this?||
even after defeating a major boss
im starting to face the same issue for other games
what does this thing mean
is this a me only issue or is this common
It's boring at the top🤣
Glad I'm still at 91
||Collect a lot of essence and keep talking to the Seer. Keep doing that until you have 1.8k.||
It’s a portal
Its your ||dreamgate||
ooohhhh
Hold ||dream nail and up||
its a || dreamgate ||
u will teleport to it
anyone
Portia is called ||dreamgate||
What
this
Your ||dreamgate. Basically a teleport station. Use Dreamnail while holding Up to teleport. Use Dreamnail while holding down to change the location of your station.||
This only happens to me when im doing long quests that are not very rewarding honestly
What about it
read above, i explained what
I've yet to finish
I'm glad about that
But if you take my suggestion, you can do room rando or speedruns
They're a different kind of fun
@fringe mortar wsp gng
Me too me too. I was stuck in a damn meeting for so long it was so boring
Fr fr
I think it’s a u problem
I can find other stuff fun
.........
How far are u in the game btw?
Give urself challenges to do
no, i already tried that, even after i completed a lot of these challenges i dont get that dopamine rush
Like have mods or uh
Done with everything except ||p2, p3, p4|| lol
Have u tried ||radhog||
I gave up on the ||pantheons|| cause I lack patience right now lmao
i defeated ||nkg|| a couple months ago, i didnt feel any hapiness
Fair enough lol
Lol where you at now?
Start trying some new games
Have u 100 sk
Tryna get maxed nail
i tried, the sad part is that the most awesome games end shortly
oneshot is a great example
Yaayy ||pure nail|| is so fun
one of the greatest games i've played
undertale starts to be about grinding since i cant defeat a boss
What do you like
Like what game genre
and even after i do it doesnt seem like worth it
Also apparently theres ||dream nail|| upgrades?
Yes
i tried minecraft, its fun, but then i die randomly and i get mad
2
minecraft is just ragebait
Keep trying
idk
it wont make sense, lets say i do get all netherite full prot 4, what do i do after
Definitely. You theres one upgrade to it and then a lot of other rewards
But it’s fun when you get into some situation and you have to run and survive
minecraft becomes boring
meh, doesnt happen that often
It’s scary but it makes u just panic and attack the air hoping to survive
roblox just sucks generally
I think that’s what makes it fun
I meant to tag @wind cave lol
no, i just run, i never had to panic ngl
At some point today I was playing and I fell into a fireteam of skeletons while mining
hello! im trying to get ||bretta|| and really struggling on the first damn section! im not great at wall jumps as i am on laptop. any tips?
dead cells is the only game fun, for now prob, it'll prob get boring aswell
You can come back its okay
Idek how im gonna get that much ||essence||
You'll get better with parkour as the game progresses
What’s it about
google it, complicated
and i suck at explaining and communicating
Its easy you'll see. Just a bunch of those bosses lol
i also tried subnautica btw
okay phew. because i left ||zote|| and feel so bad. are there any charms/upgrades i should get before coming back???
but it genually becomes a horror game after a while
so i quit that aswell
i hate horror games
Those r lwk fun
Looks cool
how do i get to the ||white fragment|| in here?
Don't feel bad for letting him die
He's not worth
also becomes grinding and boring after a while
That one unexplored exits at the top of the area
Nah leaving ||zote|| to die is the best decision dont worry lol. And, no need. After a couple more areas, im sure you'll get the hang of it
how do i go there though?? its blocked off
kay, tysm!!
Exactly lol
its blocked off though
You gotta fight a boss buddy im sorry
By what?
i suppose that is a me problem
||You have to go around (so from the stag station up should be fine)||
Too many games
I've been playing only HK for 6 months now, on and off
even if i focus on one game, it genuinly becomes self-torture to force yourself to play the game because it becomes boring
It's the quirks of being bad at a game😂
not really
even if i become good it just gets boring
What if you find a game that like constantly challenges you and makes you think
i would say beating|| p4 and p1 with bindings is pretty good||
I do like it tho
Like constantly
like what
Or an entire game series
gimme an example
||dark souls or elden ring|| are what you're gonna suggest
tried elden ring, not my type, bad graphics, complicated, dark souls doesnt seem to be my style either tho i heard a lot about it
its pretty much minecraft
yk what else is peak
Wdym bad graphics 😭
No
in my opinion elden ring has bad graphics, tho keep in mind that is a me opinion, no offense
same
Yh
Fair enough
Honestly tho, unless u rlly didnt like it u should give it a chance, i didnt like it at first but when i tried it a year later it js rlly clicked with me and it was hella fun
Its hard tho
guess i can try it in a year aswell, cuz graphics really just make my mind explode, i cant tolerate them, that sort of game should have better graphics
idc about difficulty
as long its ACTUALLY fun, and gives that dopamine rush after completing or beating something
Thats a personal thing ig, honestly idrm any graphics but if ur used to 2d like hollow knight or like hella realistic 3d games then it might be bad ig
It does indeed give dopamine when defeating a boss
hk actually has good graphics, same with games like celeste and dead cells
but the graphics, they just suck so much
Yhh, i kinda dont like pixel graphics that much but theyre alr
The game isnt abt the graphics tho its abt the gameplay, the true souls gameplay
i dont like games like elden ring, it feels wrong, it should have much better graphics
But if u are gonna do any souls games u should do elden ring cuz its the best
i cant enjoy it simply cuz of graphics, i wish i could
i tried, i lwk like hk much better
Straight up missing out gng
it gave me more than 50 hours of gameplay before becoming boring
Thats alr dw
Peak teacher bro damn
My english teacher plays rdr2
And such
Play elden ring during exam, teacher takes a look
"I'm making this guy pass, he's the right sort"
Wish i had a teacher like that
lol
i tried rdr2 btw aswell
the graphics are fine
but the gameplay just gets boring after a while
Hes also very political and weird
Eh still
Isnt it js kinda the same all over?
yup, sadly to all games i play, i play it gets boring after a while
Whenever someone does smth in his class he says leave him those are just his genetic DNA traits
i suppose it a me only problem
That happens to me aswell
Lol
If u want a game thats oretty good graphics and still very fun u could try ghost of tsushima or ghost of yotei
Both have very nice graphics and a long story
i heard of ghosts of tsushima, but its really expensive
Yhhh what device do u play on?
and the other option is against the rules to talk about
and its unreliable, and i have 30mbps internet so i usually only use steam for downloading
laptop
I dont think rdr2 fits into hk-help conversations
Ah alr, idk abt the prices then, i oersonally play ps5
with 16gb ddr5 (prob 80% of the price lmao)
As you didnt get the subtle message, stop the off topic talk in #hk-help. Move to #off-topic or whatever
Yes, sorry
ah yes srry
Well to get back on topic then, how do i get up here? The hidden passage above my player
any tips for beating t||raitor lord?||
I cant see your icon where are you

Where guardian was
Ah so do you have ||double jump||
||no like movement isn't important you can just dash in all his attacks||
he does
Yh
Damn i forgot
you can actually tell from the pic
I think u misunderstand lemme mark the actual spot sorry
Theres a room right to that ||bench. Double jump there||
That'll help
I think I know honestly
Dont mnd the fact that the circle and arrows look like an angry face
I find it pretty hard to tell from the map. But i remember almost every room jn the game.
Defeated the queen what to do nowM
yea you can't go up there but you can go down from there
||when you're at the crown of hollonest you have thre options bench warping c dash and just dropping each will sent you a different spot||
