[surreal ivy]

[opal marsh]

||markoth radiant or ascendant|| is hell

[hard bear]

all

[hard bear]

who decided he can afford a floor

[opal marsh]

but in ||p5|| it's fine for me i js spam him with ||nail attack or shriek||

[vagrant orbit]

I bought the light bug from the bug vendor, where do I take it? I've found two places but forgot where they were

[opal marsh]

with floor it's easy but without man it's hell

[hard bear]

you get a couple||life blood every 4 i think||

[surreal ivy]

ok

[vagrant orbit]

||my last fully explored area is city of tears||

The fly vendor

[hard bear]

||crystal peaks?||

[opal marsh]

it will be usefull in some areas you'll see but idon't remember wich

[opal marsh]

ye

and ||sttone sanctuary||

[hard bear]

||COT||?

[opal marsh]

i don't think so

[vagrant orbit]

In ||city of tears|| I have one boss left the upper right one

[hard bear]

[vagrant orbit]

[vagrant orbit]

Where I'm at

Generally speaking because I recall two areas before

But can't find them

Stuck on the bellyflop boss anyway

Lol

Sorry if it's obscure

First playthrough

[hard bear]

stick near a wall when he does the balls

[vagrant orbit]

I jump at him then haha but I'll try that

[hard bear]

mke them hit the wall so the dissapear

[vagrant orbit]

Yeah I gotcha makes sense I'll try that

[surreal ivy]

any tips for no hitting ||oro brothers||

im strugaling

[vagrant orbit]

I'll just look up the dark areas

[surreal ivy]

or atleast less then 4 hitting

[hard bear]

?

[surreal ivy]

nvm

[hard bear]

wait ill see if i can find something

[surreal ivy]

ok

[opal marsh]

they attack by taking turns one does combo then go back then second does combo etc when he start combo ||dash away then when he end combo dash back to hit him 1 or 2 times || then the other one will come and you js repeat sometimes the one in front will stop moving while the other charge a ||nail art attack if it's the great slash, do a descending dark if its a cyclone js stay away and be on the other side of the downslash attack to hit him a bit|| make sure to NEVER be between them, always put them both on one side of the arena

[surreal ivy]

[lime storm]

I just got Hollow Knight.. any tips for me that may be useful later?

[neat karma]

The best tips you should always keep in mind for exploration are ||If you cannot find a way through, then look for a different one.|| and ||If you are lost and dont know where to go, backtrack to unexplored places in your map (which youll get in a bit)||

Please read the channel pins and dont provide advise with stuff someone doesnt know about that might spoil them

Also the latter on is just a lie

Also both of those are ||choices for them to make not something to know beforehand||

[fallow vine]

||ending|| is a loose term, I meant ||Achievement|| ig,

[neat karma]

On the other hand talking about enemies. ||always try your best to learn how an enemy you struggle agaisnt works, if you can succesfully learn how to avoid their attacks your life will be much simpler||

[fallow inlet]

||when gettin 2400 dream essence for that npc you talk to upgrade dream nail, does the process of getting dream essence require you to do complete all of those tree things? also i did the night mare thing, upgraded the charm and beat the boss, but i still have the troupe there, aren't they supposed to disapear?||

[neat karma]

I know it sounds simple, but a lot of people get stuck attacking an enemy because they rush head first into attacking them, hoping the die quicker, but that just means the one that will die is you, if being agressive doesnt work be passive and avoid, if being passive and avoid doesnt work then be agressive, basically switch around mentalities if you struggle

[fallow inlet]

||on that note, i got the nail art before upgrading to the final nail upgrade, do i have to go back to the place for the achivement? bc i left the black smith and didn't kill them||

[neat karma]

||the trees, all of them, are never required for anything, theyre just a small way to gain a few essence, beating nkg leaves one tent in place i believe||

[fallow vine]

No, you can just go back to the ||nail art|| place :>

[fallow inlet]

||so it just upgrade the charm and beat the boss? i thought there was supposed to be another fight with them, i only did one||

[neat karma]

||if you leave him be you dont get the death achievement and can instead go for the nailmaster hut to get the other achievement||

[neat karma]

||oh then just equip grimmchild and look at your map||

[fallow inlet]

its the ||green path|| one right?

[fallow vine]

yes

[fallow inlet]

the ||second boss fight with them|| counts towards completion right?

[neat karma]

||finishing the quest itself is what counts to completion||

[fallow inlet]

alr, ||112% completion|| on the way

[echo shell]

how do i beat ||Mantis lord|| with no ||nail upgrades|| also i keep on getting over whelmed with his ||dash attack||, would not let me recharge ||shade dash|| fast enough.

[red lotus]

||Tips for failed champ ? I'm dying a lot ||

[fallow inlet]

||when i was doing it, you have to be patient with it||

[wet spire]

|| after staggering him, you can dream nail the armor for soul, and hit the armor to reset the stagger duration. Basically, hit armor -> heal/dream nail -> hit armor -> heal/dream nail ||

[echo shell]

honestly i kinda feel like deleting my save file. idk why i feel like that :C

[fallow inlet]

||wait, dream nail gives you soul in combat??||

[wet spire]

|| you can ddark when he dashes as well, but shade dash should always be recharged really ||

[red lotus]

If I hit the head with n will it reset?

[wet spire]

well if you hit the head then it'll eventually wake up

[red lotus]

Oh

Ok

[echo shell]

well when do i time ||Ddark||??

[wet spire]

so hit the armor until full hp and soul first

[wet spire]

As hes charging up the lunge

[red lotus]

Got it thanks

[round canopy]

HOW DOES THAT HIT ME

[echo shell]

as soon as he starts? doing that Grunt???

[wet spire]

I dont remember audio cues ngl

I just || ddark || when i see him about to lunge

Its a forgiving window

[shut sparrow]

||it's always recharged in time||

when he does the jump attack you can just stand still

||so you can just stand in front of him, dash through him when he dashes, stand still and do nothing or use a spell if he jumps||

[round canopy]

omg why is it so hard to kill the|| grimkin|| after you killed ||grim||

[shut sparrow]

make sure you use ||spells||

and don't try chasing it while it's not attacking. You aren't catching it

[ornate vortex]

where the ||crystal caves entrance|| so i can ||smash in||

and PLEASE send a map i beg

[summer echo]

you can go in either of these entrances

[fallow inlet]

any tips for ||night mare king grim||?

[proven minnow]

why is || forgotten crossroads infected||? i got || double jump|| but i havnt gotten || any of the dreamers|| yet. correct me if im wrong but i thought i needed to || defeat a dreamer|| to do so

[shut sparrow]

||make sure you use the healing opportunities in the fight. Learn how to dodge each attack consistently and then just apply that. Don't rush in to get damage before you know what attack is coming and how to dodge it.
What are you struggling with specifically?||

[shut sparrow]

||dreamers or wings trigger it||

[proven minnow]

ohhh ok ty!

[fallow inlet]

||the one where he's in the air, comes down and dashes, the one where hes on the gound and then goes up, and the one where he releases the bats||

[shut sparrow]

||- starting in the air, then diving down: you can walk/dash away as soon as you see him in the air, then after he dove down and is about to dash towards you. So basically just jump over it. Don't try to dash away/towards him to dodge the dash. You can pogo if you want.

• watch the video for the one starting on the ground
• for the bats: move towards him, jump over the first low bat. Then either dash in the air towards him over the second low bat to deal damage, or, if you wanna heal, just land in front of the second and start healing. It will fly over you||

[lucid igloo]

How do you play as that character

Shes so cute

[shut sparrow]

mods

[lucid igloo]

dangit :/

[shut sparrow]

:/

[fallow inlet]

||for the one diving down, both first fight and this one, ive had times he dashes towards or away from me, so it confuses me||

[shut sparrow]

||he always dashes towards you||

||if you move underneath him while he dives down so you're on the other side he will turn around to dash towards you though so that might be confusing you. To prevent that, just don't do it. simply move away and not towards him and then jump over his dash||

[noble peak]

In ||godmaster mode|| can you get ||journal entries||

[wet spire]

no

[noble peak]

Bluh

[wet spire]

Why would you need them?

[noble peak]

I beat ||pv|| yesterday finally

And I can’t even read what the thing is

[wet spire]

i mean you can just read it on the wiki

if you're only curious about the entry

[noble peak]

Yeah but in game is tuff

[austere grotto]

I just wanna say this: ||Dream Sheild|| is kinda op, it blocks projectiles and deals some extra damage and deals damage from a distance

[wet spire]

[noble peak]

[austere grotto]

It’s not the best, but certainly pretty good when you’re having trouble with ranged attacks and need to deal damage fast, like the ||Grimmkin Nightmare||

I only beat my first one with ||Dream Shield||

[shut sparrow]

||dream shield does not have ranged attacks what||

[austere grotto]

When it runs into an enemy it deals a little bit of damage and does more if you slash and it’s next to an enemy, so kinda ranged since it floats around you

But it is still very helpful

[shut sparrow]

||but your nail has pretty much the same range especially with range charms||

||also it doesn't deal more damage when you slash||

but of course use it if you find it useful

[austere grotto]

It’s only really useful with the ||Grimmkin Nightmare||, apart from that, not much

[royal nymph]

any tips on ||mantis lords||???

[austere grotto]

Go fast as f*ck boi, or come back later and Git Gud

[royal nymph]

bruh

[austere grotto]

I beat them with the setup I had that I required

[royal nymph]

Im referring to ||max binding pantheon 5 radiant...||

[austere grotto]

Also use ||Spells and Shaaman|| heal between low throws in phase one and phase two heal in the middle of the throw when they are close

Oh, didn’t know

Sry

[royal nymph]

i can get up to it easily, but struggle with the sheer chaos of all of em on screen

[austere grotto]

Yeah, I haven’t fought that and assumed it was the first one so sorry bout that

[royal nymph]

nah dw abt it

[austere grotto]

Ty

Gonna go get the last flame before ||Nightmare King and my son getting to max power||

[royal nymph]

k

[austere grotto]

Gl

[surreal ivy]

i need help

any tips to no hit |||

||Oro & Mato||

[wet spire]

|| keep both on one side . When they nail swing -> hit or shade soul, when they jump, dash under them and hit 2 times and then ddark -> shade dash out ||

|| spells carry that fight ||

[last flame]

Where do I go after ||hornet 2||

[surreal ivy]

ok thanks

[austere grotto]

If you don’t know where to go, explore where you haven’t gone yet

[last flame]

Ok

[austere grotto]

I like your pfp

[surreal ivy]

thanks :3

[austere grotto]

It’s a general basis for when you don’t know where to go in basically every game

[austere grotto]

Is ||Grimm 2|| essentially ||Grimm 1|| but faster and therefore harder?

Anyone?

Pls help me

[wet spire]

Well thats not the only reason hes harder

|| he has much more hp, does double damage, has an extra attack and is faster ||

[sudden cobalt]

that and double damage

[austere grotto]

2 masks per hit?

[sudden cobalt]

basically saying hes pretty scary

[austere grotto]

F*ck, I’m three shot

[wet spire]

Its a late game boss

[austere grotto]

So I’ll prioritize dodging

[austere grotto]

I’m stubborn

[sudden cobalt]

have you gotten || kings brand ||

[last flame]

Yes

[austere grotto]

I will keep bashing my head against the wall until it works, I’ll just Git REALLY Gud

[sudden cobalt]

go to the bottom of || ancient basin|| , youll be able to access the most lore filled area of the game now

[austere grotto]

I can wear ||Lifeblood|| to increase the amount I can git hit

[sudden cobalt]

how many || masks|| do you have rn

[austere grotto]

6

And 3 shards

[sudden cobalt]

whats ur || nail level||

[austere grotto]

||Channeled||

[sudden cobalt]

i know a guy who did him || radiant with channeled || so its not impossible

keep trying if you can

[austere grotto]

||Radiant?||

[sudden cobalt]

have you been to ||godhome yet||

[austere grotto]

Nah

[sudden cobalt]

||nkg before godhome||?

damn

[austere grotto]

I have ||Monarch Wings if that matters||

[wet spire]

many people have done it || radiant with old nail ||

once you learn the pattern, its super consistent

[sudden cobalt]

that will help a lot

[sudden cobalt]

trying to get him ||radiant||rn

[austere grotto]

I like ||Grimm and want my son to get big and strong||

I love my son more than my life

[austere grotto]

||(Grimmchild)||

[sudden cobalt]

||grimmchild|| is tuff

[austere grotto]

Instead of catching ball, we kill gods as our Father Son activity

And I won’t forget to

Ofc

How you go into ||Nightmare King|| is insanely cool, I died instantly and he didn’t even have the decency to bow, he’s just so f*cking epic!!!!!!!!!

Any charm setup recommendations for ||Nightmare King Grimm?||

[wet spire]

swap || twister for catcher. but id recommend getting fragile strength / fragile heart tbh||

[foggy reef]

guys I really like ||quirrel|| he stays until endgame and is wjjth us in ||dirtmouth|| right?

he doesn't die right?

[austere grotto]

Okey

I’ll git some more ||Geo|| and keep being stubborn

[foggy reef]

I'mma assume that means that ||quirrel doesn't die, this makes me happy 🥹 thanks guys||

[glass wigeon]

how do i open this? i need to fight ||mantis lords||

[fair folio]

||explore around mantis village theres a lever that opens it||

[glass wigeon]

i need to do parkour to reach it

since thats the only ||lever|| left i need to switch

[fair folio]

yupyup

[spare dome]

||what is this in fungal waste?||

[vale dagger]

That's an npc

[fair folio]

you get a ||mask shard for saving her||

i think

[spare dome]

how do i get to her?

[fair folio]

theres a way around

[spare dome]

nvm i got it

ty

[glass wigeon]

how do i open this i need the bench before fighting ||mantis lords||

[hollow bramble]

||beat the mantis lords||

[austere grotto]

Is my charm setup gud?

For

||NKG||?

[feral mulch]

good enough

||tho id switch heart n grubson for mop||

[fair folio]

wait do u need ||grimmchild to fight nkg||

[broken stirrup]

What should I use for ||p2||

[hollow bramble]

send charms

[broken stirrup]

I have all of them

[hollow bramble]

what r u using rn

[fair folio]

||strength quick slash mop heart||

just slash ur way thru everything lmao

[broken stirrup]

||Strength, shaman, soul catcher, and quick slash||

[hollow bramble]

||thats good if u dont use spells, if u want to increase dmg output replace mop with shaman, and replace heart with steady body and grubsong / nailmasters glory||

[broken stirrup]

Ok

[lucid igloo]

Is speedrun here harder than silksong?

And whats some good routes

[feral mulch]

its easier

sk speedrun world record is 8 times longer then hk world record

[lucid igloo]

Okay

Also is there rewinding too?

[feral mulch]

?

wdym

[lucid igloo]

Can I rewind save file

[lucid igloo]

E

[feral mulch]

like rewatch it?

[lucid igloo]

Ug

Uh

If?

Ig

[feral mulch]

literally nothing will happpen

[lucid igloo]

Were confused whatever

What r some good routes

[austere grotto]

Changed it and it’s pretty good, mostly focused on surviving long enough that I can ||Spell Spam||, yes this is a new low, but I got here early

[neat karma]

For real speedrunning or just the achievement

[neat karma]

If its for the achievement you dont really need any specific speedrunning route really

[austere grotto]

That’s my setup

For ||NKG||

[lucid igloo]

Achievements

Also wdym real speedrunning

[neat karma]

Id suggest just looking at the ||full game map and trying to make your own makeshift route, tailored to you and what you might struggle agaisnt, for example if youre going to do watcher nights but struggle to it then just route various upgrades before it, 5hours sounds like too little but it definitely leaves a lot of room there||

[glass wigeon]

just upgraded to ||sharpened nail|| is it ok enough for ||mantis lords||?

[neat karma]

Like leaderboards any% that stuff

[austere grotto]

I beat them without upgrading my nail, so

[lucid igloo]

Ok

[lucid igloo]

Oh lol

[glass wigeon]

cool

but i hate dying and i love staying alive

so i upgraded my nail

[austere grotto]

I used ||Shaaman||, I am stubborn

[glass wigeon]

a knight doesnt judge whether they are weak nor strong. it only matters that you still beat the enemy

[austere grotto]

I am fighting ||NKG|| with mid game stuff, he’s supposed to be late game, I am super stubborn

[austere grotto]

Honor

[lucid igloo]

So just play normally basically?

[austere grotto]

One day I want to get through a play through of HK without upgrading my Nail and I can only use ||Spells|| when required

[glass wigeon]

we all have different ways to play

[austere grotto]

Ye

[austere grotto]

I have ||Channeled Nail|| since it’s my first play through

So I’m not putting a huge challenge yet

The only challenge is my stubbornness

[glass wigeon]

i still dont know how to get ||pale ore|| but i dont care

exploration is the entire way to progress

and searching up on google is lazy

[austere grotto]

You need ||Dream Nail|| and collect ||Essence|| and at certain points you’ll get it

[glass wigeon]

im pretty sure ||dream nail|| is unlocked through a course or something

[austere grotto]

Also how much Health does ||Nightmare King Grimm have?||

[glass wigeon]

im guessing like 500

idk

[austere grotto]

You’ll find it by exploring a lot

[austere grotto]

The minions have 240 when you hunt so probably not

[glass wigeon]

i just searched up and they have 1.5k hp (the boss)

holy

[austere grotto]

Eh, I can do it, lemme do some math

[austere grotto]

So I gotta hit him with the ||Channeled Nail, which does 13 damage||, 1,154 times to win, add ||Spell damage|| and he’ll be down sooner than one would think

So @glass wigeon, I’m just gonna

And win, eventually

[austere grotto]

I like your pfp btw

[neat karma]

Well still go fast if possible, but yeah, play normally as long as you always know where youre going

[lucid igloo]

show your ||waterways map||

[faint dawn]

this?

[wise canopy]

there was a short cut in ||nailsmit's room to godhome||

[uncut iris]

i 'd recommend bringing ||shaman stone and steady body, steady body allows you to constantly pressure broken vessel by slashing them to a stagger. the bigger threats are the infected balloons that spawns||

[uncut iris]

it's somewhere here

[wise canopy]

also

you need ||simple key||

and ||dream nail||

to enter

[swift cypress]

tysm! im not the biggest fan of ||steady body|| since i've gotten used to flailing about lol. would ||quick slash also work?||

[uncut iris]

absolutely lol

that stays on 24/7

[swift cypress]

lol alr

[wise canopy]

did tou bring what i said too?

you will need them to enter it

[proper swan]

||I keep finding new bosses like the enraged guardian, the mantis lords and the brooding mawlek and THEY ARE SO HARD TO BEAT! I have six masks, and currently using the dash master charm to try to defeat the mantis lords.|| Do you have any tips on how to defeat them or any of the other bosses I mentioned earlier?

[uncut iris]

what's your current abilities

[wise canopy]

i forgot to spoiler it

[uncut iris]

and ||spells||

i can give tips for all three bosses

[wise canopy]

||focus nail charms and bring quick focus,long nail to make mantis lords easier||

[stable osprey]

||for enraged guardian use a nail build and spam him when hes charging up, jump over when he starts to shoot and just keep on spamming ||

[uncut iris]

also i don't recommend using ||dash master|| for combat

better for exploration

[wise canopy]

tbf ||mawlek is practicable i beat it 5 maks and broken nail you need to know when to pogo and when to heal but i recommend you to never stay too close because it's claw is shorter than your nail||

if you stand too far you'll get hit from that rain attack

[proper swan]

Okay! Thanks yall so much!

[uncut iris]

||enraged guardian is VERY easy. two attacks. just slash him to death and jump over his arm beams; when he spawns ceiling lasers, cast desolate dive for i-frames||
||mantis lords have a rhythm to them; dash, dive and circle blades; the best time to heal is during a circle blades attack. use your spells for more damage of course. you have a dash so use it||
||brooding mawlek is easy, just attack, go back before it slashes and attack again when it's just spitting normally. just dash away when it tries to jump towards you and when it spits a volley of acid, dash over it. you can also nail bounce on it to make it easier to jump over||

[royal hull]

||you can also bait a mantis lord to do a range attack so you have more time to heal, it doesn't work as well with two||

[proper swan]

Oops, looks like I responded too early!

[wise canopy]

||you have double jump atp so even if you miss a jump you can still dodge it||

[uncut iris]

mhm

and as always, come back later for upgrades if you still struggle

out of all three i'd do ||mantis lords|| first

[royal hull]

fucckkk

[uncut iris]

or do whatever

[royal hull]

||this gives you time to heal, only works with one Mantis Lords||

[proper swan]

Will do!

[wise canopy]

||i recommend you to dont go deepest with 6 mask and nail under than levek 3||

[uncut iris]

the most recommended item is um

[wise canopy]

it opens after you beat ||mantis lords||

[uncut iris]

||lumafly lantern||

i say

it is definitely feasible to enter there with lower upgrades

[proper swan]

I already bought it

[uncut iris]

but generally you should have ||sharpened nail, lantern and 6+ masks||

[wise canopy]

||1800 geo for a smok jar and a Luma fly existing everywhere||

"phatamas geo?"

[polar flicker]

Well how do we get the || fly into the lantern ||

[proper swan]

WOW thank you! You guys are so helpful! Thanks sooo much!

[royal hull]

spoiler that

[wise canopy]

it's on start

[royal hull]

||dirtmouth is spoilered||

[wise canopy]

lol

[royal hull]

so will you spoiler it

[polar flicker]

Spoil or delete it

[wise canopy]

[lone forge]

Hi. I started playing hollow knight on pc with keyboard but it is not comfortable for me. Can you tell me witch controller should I buy ? For pc and under 60 dollars

[polar flicker]

Dosent rlly matter
Ur avg xbox or ps controller shd work

Buy wtvr ur comfortable with

Or modify keybinds on pc

[glad kraken]

||hi guys is nail art good||

[uncut iris]

xbox and playstation controllers are the most popular ones

[uncut iris]

yes

they're quite strong in the right circumstances

[glad kraken]

the charge time is long as i kept getting hit

[uncut iris]

||notably, when normal attacks can't instantly kill smaller enemies in particular scenarios||

[uncut iris]

do you play on a controller or keyboard

[glad kraken]

||like do it applied on the boss too||

ps5

[uncut iris]

yeah

ic

quite hard to use that on a controller

i tried it myself. didnt feel comfortable for my thumb

[uncut iris]

yeah it works on certain bosses too

[glad kraken]

|| jumping and charge arrack it hard||

[uncut iris]

what they offer over other attacks is their utility

[glad kraken]

||the jellyfish boss is annoying but beat it in 3 try||

[glad kraken]

||if im not moving is fine but if i need to jump around it hard||

so|| when yall do nail art always jump and attack||

[shut sparrow]

what?

[glad kraken]

like ||what the best way to used each one as i struggle to used it due to the charge time and i end up getting hit . i have unlock all 3||

[sterile pawn]

My best tip is to bind the nail button to a trigger or an extra nail button to a trigger.

[shut sparrow]

||I really only recommend using them on bosses in two cases:
When the boss gives you time to actually charge them without you being able to hit him much. Otherwise it's usually better to just attack normally for damage.
Or when you want the range and extra safety with additional damage. Like you may on some bosses that have difficult movement or anything that makes staying very close scary||

[latent delta]

||Bro any tips on how to beat uumuu fast||

[bleak breach]

||he has two attacks one is a random everywhere shock the other follows you both give you a decent window to know where the shock is going||

[glad kraken]

||hust kept facing 1 direction for the first attack ||

||the second one is random so ya||

i just beat it

but|| i have wing and upgraded howling warth||

||and i used the charm to boost my spell damage||

||i left that watcher the jellyfish place||

[stable osprey]

||i keep on having a flawless phase 1 and manage to get like 4 spells in on phase 2 markoth ascended is this good enough for p5 😭 ||

[bleak breach]

If you can survive the boss afterwards with low resources then yeah

[glad kraken]

||wait it have phase||

||oh ya u good at pogo can hit more time if u oit of mana||

[wet spire]

i mean, maybe?

I would recommend atleast beating || ascended || though

[stable osprey]

is his ||health the same as attuned or ascended||

||i swear hes so much tankier in ascended||

[wet spire]

Att

[glad kraken]

||hmm ig it work for honet but u need to time perfectly when he charge at u. the dash attack ||

[wet spire]

he is more tanky in || asc||

All bosses are but 4

[glad kraken]

||what ascended?||

[wet spire]

|| markoth ||

[shut sparrow]

if you really need to concentrate on the timing, then it's probably not a good time to use it

[undone hinge]

This about ||nail arts||?

[glad kraken]

oo ||he easy just move left right left||

i feel

[wet spire]

what 😭

second hardest boss there

[west slate]

how do i get the ||crystal heart||

[shut sparrow]

||there is a different arena||

[wet spire]

|| explore to the far right of crystal peaks ||

[shut sparrow]

explore

[undone hinge]

Do you want a general direction?

[west slate]

k

[stable osprey]

its ||just its zote right after||

[shut sparrow]

before, not after

[ornate galleon]

hey can some one help me with ||grimm|| not ||nightmare king|| just regular

[undone hinge]

||up and to the right||

[shut sparrow]

nvm I might be misremembering

[undone hinge]

What help do you need?

[ornate galleon]

just leaning his attacks and in between when i can heal

[undone hinge]

Damn forgot about that

[shut sparrow]

||you can heal when he is staggered or when he does the bats. For the bats, just jump over the first two b
with one big jump and land in front of the third one to heal. It will fly over you||

[wet spire]

Any specific attack(s)

[undone hinge]

The only advice I can give is ||Quick Focus|| and practice

[wet spire]

If its all then lwk just give it some more attempts first

[ornate galleon]

tysm

ill update u guys if i win

[shut sparrow]

||you can technically heal on every other attack as well but the timing is a little tighter||

[stable osprey]

i s||truggle on failed champion as well idk why ||

[glad kraken]

ah it annoying to get it

so annoying

[wet spire]

|| dream nail on stagger indefinitely if you want ||

[west slate]

i need it for the taer tho

[visual zenith]

What build should I make for ||Radiance||? I have all the charms, 8 masks, and 2 soul vessels. Please give me an advise.

[ornate galleon]

anything i should change with my charms?

[west slate]

*tear

[stable osprey]

how do i do that

[glad kraken]

is|| it a must to fight it||

[shut sparrow]

||make sure to practice that too. Stay at a distance when he does the swings that create shockwaves and pay close attention to him. When he goes in for a jump, move through underneath and deal damage.
Make sure you use your dreamnail for soul and spam shriek after every stagger. Dream wielder is really nice for that||

[ornate galleon]

||shamna spell twister|| nuke with ||abyssal sherik||

[shut sparrow]

a must for what?

[undone hinge]

||Grimmchild|| is an interesting choice, consider ||Quick Slash||

[shut sparrow]

||they are fighting Grimm..||

[ornate galleon]

but i need ||grimmchild|| to activate the fight remember

[wet spire]

|| hitting his armor resets the stagger duration, so you can hit armor -> dnail/heal -> hit armor -> dnail/heal forever, on wakeup just shriek 2-3x ||
Its mildly cheesy but its also very common so eh

[shut sparrow]

those look great

[stable osprey]

||i try to shadow dash through him when he jumps at me but sometimes he just lands right before ||

[ebon copper]

id swap ||soul catcher for spell twister||

[stable osprey]

ah alr

[ornate galleon]

alr

[undone hinge]

Oh of course it’s ||Grimm|| I forgot you’re fighting him

[ornate galleon]

yea

[undone hinge]

In that case, it’s looking good

[shut sparrow]

||try to dash a little earlier so you don't dash through him but under him. If the spacing is bad you can also dash away from the first jump attack and then, if more follow, dash underneath for those.
Note that he can only do the same attack at most 3 times in a row. That means if he does jump 3 times, a shockwave one is coming next and vice versa||

[shut sparrow]

they are about equally good

[glad kraken]

||to fight failed champion ||

[shut sparrow]

depends on the playstyle

[shut sparrow]

yeah for what? To beat the game? No.

[wet spire]

No

isnt a % or anything

[shut sparrow]

also hi Kondy haven't seen you in a while

hyd

[west slate]

what is this "heroic odour" (||defender's crest||)

[ebon copper]

i remember there was that discussion that ||twister|| is like 2% better for dmg, but ofc not good if you have to heal

also hi, been a while

[spring mesa]

shit stink

[wet spire]

Its a bit more than 2% iirc

[west slate]

what does it do?

[shut sparrow]

||twister is better if you use 4 spells or more in between each heal. Anything less catcher leads to more soul||

[wet spire]

it was like if you heal once every || 5 spells || then || catcher || > i think

Obviously excluding cases of max soul

[undone hinge]

It does ||a bit of damage and gives some new interactions but that’s it||

[wet spire]

ah shit 4 not 5

[spring mesa]

deals very little damage over time in the area of effect of the cloud

[polar flicker]

Hi senf, Arima

[west slate]

ok ty

[wet spire]

yo

[spring mesa]

and unlocks new dialogue with certain npcs

[stable osprey]

|| how do i dreamnail the armour i only keep hitting th head ||

[shut sparrow]

||once every 3 or less||

||for once every 5 twister would be better||

[west slate]

cool

[wet spire]

you can || dreamnail the head, just dont nail hit the head until full hp and soul. Pogoing it works||

[stable osprey]

||oh right you mean hitting the armour with my nial? ||

[shut sparrow]

||this is disregarding the fact that twister works better on small soul vessels though. And the fact that twister allows you to cast spells when you otherwise couldn't, leading to quadruple spells with full soul or life saving dives with less than 33 soul for example||

[wet spire]

yes

[wet spire]

|| and twister benefiting from full soul whilst catcher doesnt ||

[shut sparrow]

hi

[shut sparrow]

wdym by that

[wet spire]

Oh well you kinda said that actually

[shut sparrow]

||with the 4 spells?||

[polar flicker]

Yo I'm going for || radkoth next can u gimme tips ||

Charms

[wet spire]

|| spell reduction.. kinda just repeated you ||

lwk zoned out

[shut sparrow]

#hk-help message

[stable osprey]

got it thakns

[wet spire]

|| heavy blow ||

[polar flicker]

Oh ye why that

[shut sparrow]

ask if you have more specific advice. For the basic strat the message I linked has pretty much the same info or better than what I'd give now

[wet spire]

Just for when he rams into you

[shut sparrow]

best option

[wet spire]

Lets you distance abuse

[shut sparrow]

||if you are using nailarts and spells, normal nail charms aren't gonna be good||

||heavy blow isn't incredible here, but it's still the best 2 notch option in radiant||

and it's definitely a bit helpful

[sterile pawn]

||Heavy blow|| being helpful?

[polar flicker]

|| ye the nail art dash slash on ascended is what I used for asckoth ||

[wet spire]

Funny that the two main bosses for || heavy blow || both dont stagger

[shut sparrow]

||I actually rarely use dashslash over great slash but I think that's pretty unpopular||

[shut sparrow]

which one is the second?

[wet spire]

|| oblobbles ||

[shut sparrow]

||like oblobbles?||

[wet spire]

Pretty common for first || radiant || clear

Not that id use it after getting experienced

[ebon copper]

whaaat?, actually?

[sterile pawn]

I only used ||dashslash on markoth|| to slash trough the middle platform iirc

[wet spire]

Very common from what I've heard

[shut sparrow]

||I mainly use nailarts for them||

||but I can see it being useful if you don't||

[wet spire]

Its mostly people not understanding the || shade soul + spit || aspect

where you send them flying

[shut sparrow]

yeah I do that too

[ornate galleon]

guys i think im dead

[wet spire]

|| shield spin ||?

[sterile pawn]

I think I just kept my distance for that attack tbh

[wet spire]

Easily the best window to punish imo

[sterile pawn]

Would be a nice place to ||dashslash|| though

[shut sparrow]

btw when did you beat ||r5|| I remember you asking questions here not too long ago. That's pretty fast

[sterile pawn]

Why does your name say ||hitless p5 instead of r5 btw?||

[wet spire]

dont really remember, it was about halfway between now and the last time i was active here

I dont play hk anymore though

[mossy zinc]

achoo

hello

[sterile pawn]

Hola

[wet spire]

Cba explaining what || r5 || means over and over

it also looks cooler imo

I also dont like the term || r5 because its not actually rad hp tbh ||
And I feel like that'd be a cool challenge

[shut sparrow]

-# mostly

[sterile pawn]

Makes sence. Me explaining nmms over and over

[wet spire]

Lmao i was just trying to figure it out

no major smt skips id guess

[mossy zinc]

what’s going on

[sterile pawn]

No main menu storage

[wet spire]

38/44

[shut sparrow]

||you can just do it by doing radhog first try. Though that's not as cool as a pantheon of course||

[wet spire]

I got 1 word right ig

[polar flicker]

Git gud

[stable osprey]

||I BEAT ASCENDED MARKOTH ||

[polar flicker]

Congrats

[wet spire]

No soul carry over + 2 more bosses (but yeah thats alot more common and harder tbf)

[sterile pawn]

Main menu storage is broken, I have beaten the game in just over 5 min with that glitch

[wet spire]

My fastest game clear is like 40h man

480x slower than you..

[shut sparrow]

what?

[polar flicker]

My first 112 clear was 80 smthn hrs

[wet spire]

Oh no its 3 isnt it

[shut sparrow]

I forgot my first 112% clear 😔

[wet spire]

|| mawlek || is less than || attuned || isnt it

[shut sparrow]

and my second

[shut sparrow]

yes

||but only in P5||

[sterile pawn]

Any% ag is basically, ||noclip to monomon, then go kill thk||

[wet spire]

Sounds easier said than done

[shut sparrow]

ekkoet do you remember when you showed me glitches in dms

[ebon copper]

that sounds pretty sad, do you no longer have the file?

[sterile pawn]

It's not that bad just have to learn the roomdupe. You could likely learn it in 2-3 hours.

[sterile pawn]

Not really xD

[shut sparrow]

no it was years ago. It's pretty sad that I really don't have any memory of what my first hk experience was like or anything close to it

[shut sparrow]

[sterile pawn]

Did I show you any roomdupes?

[shut sparrow]

yeah I think so

not sure

||you showed me the elevator tp on 1.4 and some stuff with maps and vs and then walking out of a room. Also pfloat||

[sterile pawn]

It's funny how I added so much to my any% route that I might pb by 3 minnutes next time I finish a run

[sterile pawn]

||Map and vs + walking out of the room sounds like pfloat||

[ebon copper]

running hk any% on a competitive lvl is crazy ngl

[shut sparrow]

||you also showed me invincibility in godhome||

[sterile pawn]

5th place

[shut sparrow]

I used it to cheat all my achievements

[polar flicker]

Damn , good to know

No wonder that climb went so well

[sterile pawn]

Secound, third and forth place are tied to the secound xD

[shut sparrow]

yeah I had it all on

every cheat

[vague fern]

|| radiant all bindings pv 42 times in a row || basically

[tranquil oyster]

i dont think its too hard

just sounds really unfun

[vague fern]

I dont think anyone else has done it bc its pointless

[frozen vigil]

Why doesn't ||HK give me the option to play soulsteel anymore?||

[vague fern]

so random worlds first ig

[crude cliff]

Did you see the ||radiant invis pv|| by suscat?

[vague fern]

I did 💯

[tranquil oyster]

lolll

[opal marsh]

What's ||pv|| ?

[crude cliff]

You need to reunlock it after the update, this was the case last time and i am very dissapointed it isnt fixed

[vague fern]

|| pure vessel ||

[opal marsh]

Aah

[crude cliff]

Lategame boss

[frozen vigil]

I HAVE TO REBEAT THE GAME??

[tranquil oyster]

||@vague fern upload your anyrad clear i wanna see||

[crude cliff]

Get any ||ending|| in any save

[vague fern]

Guh i'll do it soon

[tranquil oyster]

fine

[vague fern]

i just redid it until i had good || floor phases||

[frozen vigil]

I already got so many in my main just trying to do ||DNM||

[tranquil oyster]

why

[vague fern]

Made me look bad otherwise

[tranquil oyster]

... define 'bad'

[plain forge]

Losing ||10k geo||

[vague fern]

Uh idk i was dissatisfied

[vague fern]

Rip

[tranquil oyster]

||loll just do it radiant smh||

[acoustic sigil]

You can just get the same one in your main again to unlock it

[crude cliff]

I am very annoyed to hear that they havent fixed this
I am not ||leaving godhome in my steel soul save again|| the stakes are too high now

[tranquil oyster]

o yeah lune my yt shorts and streams have been popping off for some reason

[crude cliff]

Rip my main menu theme

All other things I need to reunlock are fine

[acoustic sigil]

Next fireborn fr

[tranquil oyster]

lol i wish

[crude cliff]

||zote background|| would be annoying, if I even had it in the first place

[frozen vigil]

Wait, if it's a new update thing then it shouldn't affect me becuase I still play on 1.5

[acoustic sigil]

The newest update is also 1.5

[crude cliff]

Also, to reunlock ||godseeker mode|| easily, just do ||p1|| in a save where you did ||p1-3||

No need to do ||p3||

And for all memu themes you must get the corresponding ||ending|| again but you can do ||sealed siblings|| if you locked yourself out of ||the hollow knight||

[delicate patrol]

Guys can I use ||desolute dive|| instead
Of the enchanced version to defeat ||watcher knights||

[crude cliff]

1. Why?
2. No

[karmic glade]

you can just use ||nail 1|| if you feel like it

[delicate patrol]

Do I need the better version

[karmic glade]

no

[delicate patrol]

Ok

[karmic glade]

you don't

[crude cliff]

Oh, I thought you already had that and tried to downgrade

[karmic glade]

it would make it easier but you don't

[delicate patrol]

What are the best ||charms|| to fight it cuz I only have 6|| notches||

[delicate patrol]

Oh Mb

[austere grotto]

||6 masks||, is my charm setup gud enough for ||NKG||? Or should I change it? And if so, any recommendations?

[urban perch]

||Do you have nail upgrades?||

[austere grotto]

I also have ||Double Jump||

[austere grotto]

||Channeled||

||Also have Howling Wraiths||

I got there early but do I look like I give a f*ck!?

[shut sparrow]

||this looks very good. Though strength is also a very strong charm unless you're going for nailarts, which would be very valid||

[foggy jolt]

Does every boss have a harder variation?

[shut sparrow]

no

[sleek dagger]

İt depends do you use more ||nail|| or ||spell||

[stable osprey]

no ||shot i beat nkg 1hp ||

[foggy jolt]

Do the ||Mantis Lords|| have one? That's my favorite boss so far

[sleek dagger]

Sameeeee I love their ||pantheon version ||

[foggy jolt]

What's that?

[sleek dagger]

Forget about that

[foggy jolt]

I'm assuming that's a spoiler

[austere grotto]

I think ||Spells|| for this fight specifically will be my main source of damage, I normally like nail, but according to my calculations I would have to hit him 1,154 times with the Nail to beat him, so yeah

[austere grotto]

Later game stuff

[sleek dagger]

Idk what u r Tallinn about

[foggy jolt]

I'm almost done with the game tho

[shut sparrow]

congrats!!!

[foggy jolt]

Like around 90% completion

[sleek dagger]

So u should keep ur actual build

[shut sparrow]

?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.

[austere grotto]

You’ll find it by exploring

[shut sparrow]

||you'll likely find it after 100%+||

[austere grotto]

Yeah, I like a gud mix of nail damage and ||Spell|| damage

[shut sparrow]

your calculations are way off

[foggy jolt]

Alr. But do the ||Mantis Lords|| have a ||Dreamnail accessed fight||?

[sleek dagger]

Personnaly I use a full nail build

[austere grotto]

Oh sh*t

[austere grotto]

That’s my plan

[sleek dagger]

Nope but they have different version u will find out later

[shut sparrow]

||you have to hit him 115 times without and 75 times with strength||

[foggy jolt]

I used to never use ||spells|| but now I use them a bit

[stable osprey]

||i got to abs rad and died 😭||

[shut sparrow]

||and note, spells need your nail to build up soul too||

[shut sparrow]

||well, time to practice it||

[stable osprey]

i was shaking lol took me like 40 mintues to get there

[austere grotto]

That’s way better, ||We’re talking about Nightmare King Grimm, right? Channeled Nail||

[foggy jolt]

But isn't the game over by that point? Aren't the last few percent the final boss?

[shut sparrow]

yeah I know that feeling too well

[shut sparrow]

yes

[austere grotto]

Ik, I’ve played a bit of HK

[foggy jolt]

Normal ||Grimm|| is my second favorite boss. Very fun fight

[austere grotto]

Okay, that’s way better than my calculations, I heard he had 15k hp

[austere grotto]

Agreed

[shut sparrow]

||yeah I just mean since you said you aren't gonna focus on nail. I wanted to point out that that doesn't rule out nail charms||

[shut sparrow]

||no, it's 1.5k||

[delicate patrol]

Can someone help me find good ||charms|| that use a total of 6 ||notches||

[sleek dagger]

||Nightmare|| version is much funnier tbh

[austere grotto]

Oh

[shut sparrow]

can you show what you have

[austere grotto]

I read it wrong

[stable osprey]

||p5|| takes me hella long time to do

[shut sparrow]

||1.5k is already one of the most in the game. 15k would be way beyond anything. More than literally any modded boss I believe||

[delicate patrol]

I can’t show I’m out rn but what would be like the best for ||watcher knights ||

[shut sparrow]

it takes everyone that long when they haven't beaten it a couple times

[foggy jolt]

Eh, not really imo. I feel like the ||fire trails he leaves|| ruin some attacks

[austere grotto]

||Nightmare King|| has pure Aura with his a fun kind of hell

[austere grotto]

I misread, my fault

[sleek dagger]

I’m only at ||p4|| do u have tips for the ||pure vessel|| ?

[austere grotto]

[sleek dagger]

Yea ik but u can just stand under him when he do that attack and move a little bit

[shut sparrow]

||I wouldn't really like to mention charms that you might not have? Are you sure?
I'd rather recommend you just do it as kind of intended by the genre. If something is too difficult, you do it later and go explore. You find new stuff, upgrades, charms, abilities, etc and then you try again||

[austere grotto]

Also use ||Defenders Crest|| so you don’t have to worry about the minions

[foggy jolt]

I usually pogo him on that attack

[sleek dagger]

Minions ?? What do u mean

[austere grotto]

Floating balloons that harm you and are made of orange juice

[sleek dagger]

How do u have the time to land bro he’s so fast

[delicate patrol]

||Yeah cuz I don’t have the vengeful spirit and the dive upgraded yet I ahve the shade cloak and channeled nail, I’m just currently running Sharman stone and mark of pride as my charms ||

[stable osprey]

||i jsut use full nail build, i pogo of the move he does 3 times or shadow dash, pogo off the dash, and i shadow dash through the knives, the black tendrils at the end just double jump and you should be fine, abuse shadow dash is what i did ||

[sleek dagger]

I’m talking about another boss bro

[foggy jolt]

We're talking about the attack where he charges at you, then up, right?

[sleek dagger]

Ok thx

[shut sparrow]

||shaman stone is probably the best charm you have. Instead of mark of pride I'd go with something that further supports spells like soul catcher for example. Though as I said, with just 6 notches you'd be better off exploring some more||

[austere grotto]

My head glitched so hard and is so tired it thought it was ||Broken Vessel|| whoops

[sleek dagger]

Yea

[stable osprey]

just practice a lot

[foggy jolt]

I jump when he charges, pogo him once and ||dash|| away as he uppercuts

[sleek dagger]

What do u mean he uppercuts

[shut sparrow]

||uppercut is one of his moves||

the one where he jumps

[sleek dagger]

Oh yea ok

[delicate patrol]

Wha do you think I need the most rn

[foggy jolt]

He has 2 melee moves and one is just the other in reverse. Either towards you and up or down and towards you

[shut sparrow]

for what?

[foggy jolt]

I do the same thing for both

[shut sparrow]

dodging them is very different though

||for the uppercut you need to predict where the flames are gonna be summoned, for the dive you just jump||

[sleek dagger]

Does someone have a fun charm combo ?

[delicate patrol]

Like what’s an ideal setup for ||watcher knights ||

[shut sparrow]

||with 6 notches?||

[sleek dagger]

Abuse of spell when they r on the same line

[opal marsh]

Abuse || descending dark || if you have it with || shaman and spell twister||

[sleek dagger]

Is it the ground smash ||spell||

[opal marsh]

Yes

Do you have to upgrade for it

[sleek dagger]

There is an upgrade actually yep

[shut sparrow]

for the future please try not to mention things if you are unsure whether they have it. You can always ask to see their inventory if you need to know

[glad kraken]

what if ||i beat the collector before getting all the gurb||

[shut sparrow]

what is supposed to happen?

[bleak breach]

Nothing

[shut sparrow]

you get the reward like usual

[glad kraken]

he is hard

[shut sparrow]

you can do the fight later if you want

[glad kraken]

||the annoying part is he throw the rolling bug||

||i manage to reach phase 2 rhen die||

[sudden cobalt]

hear me out: || only summon charms, defenders, dreamshield, dont use nail or spells ||

extremely impractical but funny

[glad kraken]

||i manage to reach phase 2 rhen die||

[crude cliff]

Add ||thorns|| and make sure to ||overcharm||

[sudden cobalt]

nah that ruins it

|| thorns || is a downside imo

[crude cliff]

He doesnt really have phases
What you could do is come back when you have a nail strong enough to one-shot summons

[still forge]

pls i need help with broken vessle

[urban perch]

In what way?

[still forge]

its just hard 4 me

[urban perch]

Are you struggling because of ||atack pattern||?

[still forge]

kind of

i hate the jump

[urban perch]

You do know that depending on how long you press the jump button your jump hight will vary?

[still forge]

yh

[slate ridge]

Can someone tell how can I prevent the ||Lost Kin from single jumping?||

[ebon copper]

please spolier ||broken vessel||

[urban perch]

I personally needed a lot of trys against the bosses in my first play. Maybe adjust your charms and run it back.
