|| for spoilers
I know
then use it pls
He wasn't talking to me
oh I wasnt talking to you
he spoiler evaded by spelling it wrong, but that is not what you are supposed to do
This massage is it
ye
you dont
it's fkin undodgeable
technically you can basically perma stagger that boss
||dash||
disgusting
||shade cloack||
at least have a ||fixated trajectory||
howw
dont have that
cooked
ik bro
oop
that thing is so op I would only need that fr, nothing else
what charms and ||spells|| you have?
ofc because I'm a Dead Cells player
||Quick slash, quick focus and 3 first spells||
||how do i get to godhome?||
how do i ||get the 112% achievenemtn ||
use ||shriek when he does the jump, and time a vengeful spirit when he dashes away from you, those can both do triple hits relatively consistently, also if you wanna take advantage of it you can use steady body to get in like 1-2 extra hits when he's not airborne, do defenitely keep quickslash, but instead of focus, use spell twister, and steady body||
how do i get to ||the hive?||
do one of the ||endings||
and dont skip ||credits||
alao grats on ||112|| fellow miku fan
||shriek?||

mb, i meant ||howling wraiths||
alrr
?
beat the game again
through || kingdoms edge||
o alright, thanks
||Use the train in the ancient basin to kingdoms edge and find a breakable wall guarded by bees||
any tips on how ||to dodge the balls on absrad ||
how to get || quick slash||
||i beat lost kin by spaming spell||
I forgot sorry
no point ||quick focus for me due to it is very fast so i used spell damamge charm and soul charm ||
for|| lost kin||
not asking for help but just here to say i've finally obtained all hollow knight achievements. thank you to all the goats who have assisted me in beating the game here
will now be moving onto silksong
decided to finally start playing hollow knight again and im curious if anyone has any early game charm builds for general exploration :3
(currently roadblock is ||soul master|| i believe. i just got ||crystal heart|| cus i wanted to procrastinate on ||city of tears||)
i ||feel soul master i lucky 1 shot it||
||soul master|| isnt hard lmao i just cant be bothered dealing with that area
its always at this point in all my attempts of beating the game and i wanna do it later
i just kept jumping which is the key
fr
im not having a hard time rn
i somehow havent died once
surely once i get to ||deepnest|| that wil change
im currently running ||wayward compass, gathering swarm, grubsong and spore shroom||
why ||gathering swarm||
money
:3
might aswell collect as much as i can instead of grinding when i need it
i always ||used mantis charm||
i just got 360 from ||grub father||
i only have 4 slots
i might be able to get a 5th from the shop rn
||shaman stone mark of pride, soul catcher gurbsoul or soul catcher||
i always rotate see which boss it suit
early ||game i used torn of agorny alot||
im like 25hr in
i prefer to have a build for exploration (usually dmg avoidance like the i frame charm from ||sly|| or health based charms like ||hiveblood|| and reach from ||mark of pride and or longnail||)
where u get that??
imma explore around there then :3
procrastination go brrrt
||if i being honest deepnest aint that hard as i never seen a boss yet , i feel cystal peak is moreannoying||
||crystal peak is hell the monster is so annoying , unlike deepnest there js one only i feel||
so i just found ||glowing womb|| O-O
finally ||beat pantheon 1 with all binds|| any tips for ||nightmare king grimm||?
I just got to ||absolute radiance|| any way I can practice it
yes
in ||hall of gods||
theres a door in the end
which leads to her
On the right?
yes
far right on the upper floor
Do I have to flick a switch or something lol
Don't die
or just do ||eternal ordeal|| til you die
:3
nukes canada cutely
Also what does the lower door lead to
bro that pfp makes me happy
:3
Ikr :3
shouldnt if you encountered him in ||p5||
:3
:3
Bruh I closed the game right after then opened it up cuz I thought let me check if it’s opened
I reckon it just didn’t save
No worries it wasn’t even that bad I just had a lot on the line that one attempt
dont worry about that for now
i finally did it
it opens ||when you have done every boss in hog||
gj
On the lowest difficulty?
ye
Also have they made ||p5|| easier cuz I haven’t played In months and I come back and I get to ||ar|| 1st attempt
I closed the game right after it didn’t save
there is your problem than
i mean u can get back to it
i havent played in a month
and this was my first ||p5 attempt||
and i did it
you arent helping my man lel
i mean with pratice he can get back
its his issue that he closed his game right after lossing
idk what else to say
im trying to be supportive
idk, maybe im overthinking, ill let it be
Init lol I swear it’s easier
No im chill ill get back to it easily
i mean i did pratice ||abs rad and pure vessel before doing the attempt but still i think i had more issues with xero than pure vessel and abs rad LOL||
I had toes in my mouth on the line that attempt so I think the pressure got to me
||i clutched xero on 1 hp btw 😔 ||
Yh the only annoying one imo is ||markoth||
cool than, i feel like skill lvl is very different when it comes to hk endgame, some ppl struggle a lot more than others
what i did was take a break right after ||nkg|| still my nerves were high but yeah
i tried to stay calm
Haha lol I couldn’t do that feel like it’d break my flow
i was thinking about that
I genuienly think the toes in my mouth made me crush under the pressure
but i decided to chill lol
i mean, you really cant luck out on ||pv||, so having done ||p4|| should mean you are at least somewhat proficent with the fight
i mean ||pv|| ISNT that bad
its a fun fight to say the least
also, ||pv|| is just the best
Just long tbh
nah
if u do damage every attack he does then no
I don’t wanna fight some of those silly ones
also i got 8 achivments left to do
i have to speedrun under 5 hours wich will be the worst one 😔
its kinda chill actually
ill prob do major glitches to do it fast
you can get ||ddark, and ismas||, and still be well within the time limit
oh wow
5h is a long time
he used to be in #hk-discussion often
im sorry if i used wrong pronouns
ima just look for a chill tutorial
i dont wana to do frame perfect jumps for a 0.5 milisec save vro 😔
any% just seems like a pain to learn now that best route is so hard
It's really not
i mean, i can literary tell you route, its so simple
also uh how much harder is silksong compared to hollowknight
no joke
dont spoil
The hardest skip is ||Qga|| and it's all bark no bite
depends
on?
Like 8x
main game is like 2x imo
ss is not harder than hk
cuz my friend is doing 100% and he told me that he is taking a break from it to do ||p5 and pop (he did pop yestraday in under 2 hours||
and now im scared
of how silk song
with be
some of the|| godhome content|| is decently harder than anything in sk atm tho
Yeah
its not that bad, but if you have a lotta hours in hk, it kinda ruins you
so main game is harder but ||godhome|| is harder
at least it did me
is it good to ||do flukemarm in 5 seconds||?
sure
😔
yes. very.
godz = hours
Here's my opinion:
Silksong 's difficulty is like a flat 9 throughout the ENTIRE game
Hk's difficulty just keeps going up and up and up, eventually over passing Silksong in post gsme
i have 206h in hollow knight 😔
bro
Brother.
silksong is solid 6
welp uh kondy u wana tell me the route?
belive me, i get your pain...
DAMN
my first playthrough took like uhhhh
50 hours
BUT I REMEMBER EVERY BOSS NAME AND THE WHOLE MAP
you bet
then 112% took another 50 hours so 100h
lol
I know the kingdom more than my house
and then ||p1-p5|| 45h
same
also i did all ||steel soul 100%||
playing my ||steel soul run|| mapless
@azure aspen your kitty is cute in your pfp
i mean i didnt buy ANY maps for ||steel soul||
thanks
i should make a save where i dont upgrade ||nail||
want more pics?
i did ||112% on my 1st file including p5|| in like 74ish hrs
Yes
how
yeha some ppl are cracked at the game some are not
rest is having fun with bosses, and rando
idk, i watched a lotta yt vids about the game
anyway kondy u wana tell me the path/route ty
oh yeah i forgot to mention i have afked like 30h in hk
so - that from my playtime
how ||do i dodge the annoying balls on abs rad ||
I KNOW
uhhh
||when a ball comes from up move either right or left||
when a ball comes from either ||left or right jump over||
||Is defender's crest actually good against absrad?||
and if ur in a tight situation ||dash through a ball with ur shadow dash||
ty ty
how long ||does p5 take for you guys ||
Cool, mind showing?
abt half an hour
sure
30-40 mins
takes me like 40 minutes to reach last bench
this is what i used
but u could also use || shaman stone instead of mark of pride||
if u wana spam ||spells||
why ||grubsong||? do you expect to get hit a lot?
this is what i used for all of ||p5||
i use the same but swapping ||out steady body and grubsong for longnail for last bench ||
uhhhh i just like to have it since i ussualy take dmg since im bad||
i just cant ||seem to hit abs rad sometimes ||
im trying to craft a good route, but damn, m memory
that is also fair i wanted to mention that
xd, gimme a few more mins
sure sure
ok, just wondering
been stuck on phase 2 for like an hour now
||collector defeated let go||
||i died on phase 3 😭||
takey
if u want i can give u the best strategy
that i used
its proably the worst
but it worked for me
||u wana stay on bottom 3 platforms dodge anything that comes at u when he comes down on one of the platforms get under him and spam attack/abyss shriek if u take damage phase 2 is the best time to heal with my strategy i found out that chasing abs rad makes u take a hell ton of damage so yeah hope that helps||
it might not work for u
but u can try
there was a ||knight that looked just like the character|| in ||Deepnest|| but where exactly?
ill try ty
now ||i keep on dying to phase 3 ||
u mean stairs?
@dry hamlet
|| get forgotten stag, bench there, kill gruz mother, save sly, die in position to shade skip(as right as possible left from salubra), after death you go back to forgotten bench, kill false knight, get vengeful, kill hornet (savequit), kill vengefly and get the geo on the way, go to mantis from the crossroads entrance in salagtite room, get queens stag, get claw, go to city, get storage rooms stag, get the key there too, do soul master, go back to crossroads, do shade skip, get dnail, go down to the right side of city, do watcher knights, get dreamer, go to the left side of city, trade picked up relics, should be at 1800geo, go to storage stag, bench there, go to dirth mouth, get lantern from sly, go to forgotten stag, go to peaks with dive route, get ddark, get cheart, go back with sateg (idont remember if savequit works after cheart...worth a try tho) go down to sewers, go get ismas, go with store room stag to queens station, go fight umu, get dreamer, go back to queens, do the fall from there to deepnest, get last dreamer, get distant stag, go back to dirth satge, kill hk||
this should work
||u wana do it normally ignore the laser until one point its like there is an obstacle in the middle then on the left then on the left on middle then on the right and from there u want to start using ur dash||
holy let me read it
yeah i keep on getting hit
iwill watch a tutorial
beacuse words dont really work
for me
but ty
like i said u want to keep jumping normally until the one specific part
i knew it was coocked once i started to actually write it out, but i felt like i needed to finish for my pride
huh
also, here is my main save file i intended to show but got distracted with writing an essay
u wana jump normally until this part
lol
from this part u wana start using ur ||dash beacuse abs rad start predicting ur moves and shooting right at u||
k
would vids help you with the timing?
tbh for stairs u urself need to make a strategy
its hard to explain what you need to do
ya
i got the timing now
but the BALLS
perfect
you have 2 starts there
do u also need help with final phase?
the balls man
lemme get you my way too extensive guide
please do
for the final phase u want to || stay on the left when the balls come to u u wana double jump from the opposite side the balls are coming from to make them go into the roof to make them dissapear and while ur doing that or after u do that u want to hit abs rad when he is close to u REMEMBER dont switch platforms cuz it can break ur rythm||
are u ok kondy?
everything ok with u?
everything fine?
mental health ok?
when i wrote that i was very invested k?
you know i can see THAT
what the
😭
i thought you copied it from the wiki lol
||should i get all the shards and stuff or continue white castle? ||
takey this is shorter but kondy's is more helpful
continue
continue
u sure?
||https://youtu.be/DuJsAuPQQYg || (vid by nonself)
yes
continue
the wiki has way less
LOL
you know that says alot but we all should thank kondy for going out of his way and writing all that to help pepole that are struggling withit
i have never seen this before lol
i can replicate this with 100% accuracy
||i can make a better guide in 2 seconds:
stay in radiances face and deal damage
if she does something ddark
after she does said something get back into her face and deal damage
congratulations you've learnt how to beat absrad :>||
how do i get this ||grub||?
this is btw included in my guided
theres no way 😭
didn't see
||love facedancing||
mines not perfect but apparently suscas's is similar so good enough (sorry for the slander if you see this susCAS)
im honestly pretty bad at it
you dont do modded ||radiance fights||?
or have you just not tried to get it to a very usable standard
Where does the ||banker go after you get scammed||?
.. i tried, i did most of ||immlight, and did some attempts on 2.0, but i really do such at facedance||
so its kinda hard without
?
why did you do attempts on 2.0 without knowing how to facedance
well proper facedance at least
show your map please, so i can see that im not spoiling you
cause im weird
||swim below the station bottom right ig||
but yeah, the fights will last a lot longer without facedancing
YES~~S
lol i did 2.0 attempts before clearing 1.0 too
finally
''ig'' my guy isnt even sure 😭
thats how I remember 😭 there are things there anyways
||she is in the right side of city in one of the houses that needs a key||
it didnt ||scam me|| yet
|| go to Royal Waterways from the ancient basin, there's an opening in the ceiling if i remember ||
thats relatively reasonable one near ||waterways||, the ||kingdoms edge|| one is so bad
btw did you get to sword rain in any of the attempts
just beat ||abs rad twice in a row 😭||
imma be real with you, i dont remember, but that probably also means i didnt
so there
|| i saved all the grubs & i barely remember any 😭 ||
lol fair
||where is the connection between rw and ab?||
how do i mark smth as spoiler
u put || at the start and end of a sentence
i feel like my best feats are the ||absrad 1.5x speed clears, and the no cahrms no jump nkg||
so nothing modded
||trying it first||
alr so can someone give me tips for ||nightmare king grimm|| 😭
still very cool achievements though :>
i did it
|| that long broken elevator line
go top before Isma's Grove
right top corner
there should an opening ||
if i did ||beat grimm and for an achivment i need to banish the troop can i still do it (i havent done nkg)||
oh good
||as long as you didn't beat nkg you can||
i hope so, ill put them in https://discord.com/channels/283467363729408000/283680756159741953, i feel like putting unrelated vids here would be a bit unreasonable on my part
lol nw
can someone give me tips for ||nkg? hes really fast but i think ill get used to his movement, i need to know the best charms for this fight||
pings off
can u mark it on my map bc i genuinely cant find it 😭
Ship is photosenstive and the yellow highlight hurts them
||try to get a flow for each of his attacks, and react to them the save way each time, also try and stay near the center of the arena||
||For charms||
||strength + quick slash + mop/quick focus + and a viration of steady body/grubsong/nailmaster's glory||
tysm
|| he's just like Grimm tbf, bit faster but ye
when he starts the dash uppercut, dash through him & hit him from behind. stay there or adjust just a bit given the fire will not reach u
when he does the drill, just walk away, once he's in the ground, jump then pogo on him. just go left or right in the air as u will avoid his trail
when he does the fire pillars, u may either want to move slowly then Abyss Shriek him, or walk towards him & hit him around 2 times, dash if u think a pillar will get u
firebats attack is easy, just jump over the 2nd bat then dash, & u'r there. if u get too close early he'll teleport & sends two last bats, jump & dash btwn em
spikes attack just stay calm & move just a bit
pufferfish uhh is kinda like the TMG's one. treat it as some mini game. double jump would be helpful, moving on the griund before jumping maybe. as well don't dash ||
thats kinda weird, hm
shes not there
||shaman doesn't get enough time to be used properly||
i mean, it can...
thats really helpful thank you so much 😭
@surreal turret || for charms i recommend Quickslash & Strength, Mark of Pride may be good. Shape of Unn will help healing during his fire pillars. this combat is too nail based for any spell charm, but u may wanna train with em. ||
i mean, its probaly fine, its just weird to see ||grubsong|| recommended
|| for uhh idk if yk it ||
thank you ill use all of these tips and try later
yw
ahh, also if you ||open the map and keep moving you move with just enough speed to avoid pillars||
guys my HK is so laggy how can i make it less laggy?
doesnt ||opening the map pause the game now? since the new update? or was that just for inventory||
its like 20 fps
idk about newest newest version, but before the update thats like a month ago, it worked fine
||white defender is fun kinda hard it take me 4 try||
||inv drops|| only work on 1.21 and before
Isn't it only on 1221?
Can you ||give more Geo to the King fountain||?
ah, guess im wrong than
also hello
If you have reached the threshold already, no
Hello
thanks
I mean at once
You don't have to give it all at once
I mean if I have ||more than 3k||
||Oh then it only takes 3k||
alr thanks
how are ||people giving eachother geo||
they don't?
||There is a place you can give geo at to something, you'll find it eventually (if you are refering to the convo currently had in chat)||
oh sorry i got confused and didnt read it properly, ik what ur talking about then
i was wondering if you meant like what you would see appear on the top right corner in a randomizer, but ig not
@fringe mortar you on?
||there is no bench in white place?..|| after the 3rd bench
Indeed
hi
Whats up? Need any help?
doing ||grimm trope|| and you've helped me before so i was wondering if you have any tips
just got the last flame
where are you stuck at
the first 3?
i mean, how many times did you collect so far
3
this is the 1st time right?
there are more?
yea actually lol
you got nothing to worry this time
go back to ||grimm|| with the charm on
he'll tell you what to do next again
k done
ping me if you need help after. i just forget to check messages lol
i mean like you did just now. mention me
yep
another one of those ||flame carriers|| lol
collect all 3 again
he issss
omg i love him
i also love the ||weaverlings from weaversong||
||Weaversong?||
||sorry this was my fault. i thought you got the charm. its a charm. dont worry abt it||
i just noticed he sleeps when your on a bench
got .no 6 flame
@fringe mortar help pls
died twice
trying
k
died again
are there any benefits to beating ||grimm|| other than completion?
||and grimm child ofc||
||Grimm|| doesn't count towards completion the only thing that does is the charm
|| troupe master grimm gives a charm notch ||
||nkg gave me 1% tho||
The charm did

also how does the ||"nail binding"|| works in ||pantheons||
|| 80% nail damage. If that exceeds 13 then its reduced to 13 dmg cap ||
yall
No upgrades
No??
k
None base nail
Thats wrong lol
"exceed" like with ||unbreakable strenght ?||
its 13 max, not 5
No like || 80% of pure nail is > 13, so it gets reduced to 13 ||
ah ok
but if i had || old nail (5 dmg), then 80% would be 4 dmg and not 13 ||
how much dmg does normal ||pure nail|| do ?
How I obtain the light in the dark place in hollow Knight?
||sly||
hey guys i have move to linux mint and get hollow knight now it do not work
i realised that ||shriek and descending dark|| do damage over 3 ticks or smth like so question do all ||abilities|| do same damage (for exemple 30dmg) and if yes then do ||descending dark|| for example do 10+10+10 or 30+30+30
||shriek does the most, then ddark, then shade soul. Im not sure about the specific damage numbers||
ok thanks
||why is the door lock once i emter city of tear||
bc it does
Also know that ||shade soul|| can hit an enemy multiple times in certain cases in which case it deals its full damage multiple times
And apparantly its random wether ||shriek|| hits 3 or 4 times, even if the enemy stays in range
Can you show which charms you have
A screenshot would do
And make sure to spoilertag it, otherwise it gets autodeleted
yo did you beat him
||Glowing womb seems kind of good for absrad I ain't gonna lie, I've gotten pretty far with it||
||Sure it's better if you can get your abyssal shrieks in but if you're focusing on dodging it's not bad, same could be said about any other summoning charm||
||Except for probably weaversong, they can't reach absrad in the first phase||
how to do this?
Go down I think
you would rather want to have soul for healing than small damage
more down?
that's dependant on the player, ||quick heal takes up 3 dots|| that's so expensive
i will go back from where i came
Oh it’s there nvm
oh nvm then lol
||go down and land on the platform, nail jump off the side of the saws and get up from there||
okay thanks
Go here and climb the left wall
i think you can just ||jump up||, if not i know it's possible to squeeze past ||the saws going up the left||
Sorry but if you reached his point you should not be using such strategies, obviously you can, but...
||glowing womb is 2 notches vro||
not that much imo

And choosing this charm specifically almost sounds like bait, could be my perception

🤔 ||glowing womb or shape of unn ... i wonder which one is more useful outside of very niche speedkills and hitless attempts||
In what build?
||I often have two notches left over so, it's something||
||strength, qslash, shaman and glowing womb||
Can I see your charms?
ngl i would want ||2 less notches rather than using glowing womb ||
man fk this game
||spell twister/longnail/grubsong, dreamwielder, nail masters glory, steady body, sprintmaster/unn/soul catcher/sharpshadow/even fury||
bro is on ||absrad || i don't think so
how the HELL do i get to ||the pleasure house||
Oh ||absrad|| not ||radiance||
Opinions ig, but here without context is odd
I haven't even thought of using ||dream wielder in absrad considering she moves around too much but I can try||
Dont
These are my general ||pantheon|| builds
All others do work
||dreamwielder|| is better as ||womb|| tho, even if it doesnt work on that boss at all
||what do you recommend for only absrad||
I use ||twister||
I have heared ||unn|| and I also practiced it with ||soul catcher||
||steady body|| is often used
my standard build for ||pantheons|| is ||strength/quick slash + quick focus/shape of unn||
||longnail|| can be useful
definitely
Anything but summons basically
if you using ||qs you don't need it ||
||white palace||
i assumed through here, the ||lift in city of tears?|| but theres no option to do anything
I am curious how you mean so, but I only use ||qs||
Send your map
||summons are good if you're like patient and want to focus on dodging tho||
if i remember correctly, my more intereting picks for hitless attempts were ||unn for mantis lords (because i thought about lowering my hitbox for the double throw before moving out of the way), and grubsong for markoth (with weaversong because spare notches happened to line up so i could use that to get a little more soul)||
It uses too much soul so no
Except ||flukenest|| very maybe
|| i got teleported back after getting king;s soul what do i do?||
i mean you don't gain that much ||only longnail is better than longnail with qs methinks ||
read it's description and go off of that
Well that could be true but then still ||qs longnail|| could be better as just ||qs||
Which would make a paradox
||just saying, I used glowing womb on absrad twice or thrice and found it to be quite fine||
About here
Nice ≠ best
But thats good for you knowing other charms will make it significantly easier again
||womb|| is dragging you down
yeah im just saying theres so much better stuff
easier is subjective but go on
i only use ||summon charms ||for meme runs 
just because one can do hitless with ||joni's blessing|| doesn't mean one should do hitless with ||joni's blessing||
Ye, I only used this combo in my last ||p5 attempt segment 7|| where it worked so well I got ||markoth|| hitless and 1 hit ||nkg||
What is the best way to kill ||the pure vessel in pd4||
hitting it enough times usually works
as much as i love ||grimmchild bro does nothing in a fight||
Wym pd or just p?
I recommend to practice until you beat it ||ascended||
for more detailed advice, charms would be useful, as well as what you're struggling with
? tag gitgud
||long nail and strength usually does the trick||
I used that one once, for ||radiant Hornet sentinel, because he targets spikes||
Rare exception
I don’t have ||long nail|| on…
you should consider picking it up
(i have a specific charm i want to highlight but i don't know for sure if you have it)
When I looked back the footage he hit nothing that I didnt
I just got better or something when I equiped him because I did it first try with it
I have it but not equipped
||use qs and pogo/shade dash through every attack||
equip it then
I like ||strength, twister, shaman, quickslash||
I’m cooked… im about to fight him
Gl
Gl
Dont panic heal
eh if you don't mind potential spoilers, ||shape of unn makes it MUCH easier when it adds the "focus" attack, particularly with quick focus to boost move speed||
Only heal during stuns
Wish me luck
focus on ||pogoing||
it's your best shot
GL !
Tho in my succesful attempt I broke this rule and healed during his ||focus||
Which proved vital in my run
just heal and pray you don't get hit 
you can try to heal during the circles attack but it's risky
yeah, that's a heal opportunity that's either gambling or abusable with ||unn (at least with qf)||
omgomgomg ||i accidentally dream nailed the butterfly lady in pleasure house without talking to her. IS THERE A WAY TO GET HER BACK OR DID I CONSUME HER OMG||
For context to ghost, thats called the ||focus||
I FORGOT HOW IT WORKED
Nom nom
NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO
Force quit the game
||bad ending unlocked
||
It is the only way if you didn’t quit to menu or save
If then, there’s nothing you can do
it saves right as you kill her i think
Pacifist max ||essence||%
Ghostbuster%
I once saw a TAS on that
Why would that save
Evil TC intentions
idk you gain|| essence ||
Lol
Today I’m gonna keep bashing my head against the wall and keep fighting ||NKG|| before I’m supposed to until I win because my mental health isn’t unstable enough
Gl
W
Mid Game
How many % do you have?
He’s a Late Game boss
IT WORKED THANK YOUUUUU
Idk, I’ll have to check
when the alt is f4
||i saw pretty lady then forgot how the game works|| so glad i didnt perma kill her OL
Ik, but I’m still there early
-# actually my sibling and i were trying to come up with names for something (over text) last night and we were riffing on atlas for a bit and so i typed altf4 as an option because funny
Replay?
?
No ig, I was asking wether this was a 2nd playthrough
First
Because you knew about lategame etc
I could see people on replay challanging themselves to do this early
First play through and I got into HK from theory videos
omg same here
Gl and have fun
And when Silksong came out
now i just keep collecting favorites and im so worried for them
I did silksong first and got into this via a friend because silksong released
||Nightmare King|| is a fun kind of hell
Only downside
I find this fight to be a bit on the long side, and this would be even more so with little damage
I have to hit him 116 times with my ||Channeled Nail||
when the cmd is Q
Cool
how are u getting ||that make charm notches? arent there only 11? strength, quick slash and mop is 3+3+3 and grimmchild is 2 which makes 11||
You will know once you deal 29 hits
Because he has 1,500 health and I deal 13 damage
They gave a few options
Difference between + and /
Also, you shouldnt ping them
As their name says
genuinely forgot ||Nkg needed grimchild oops||
||nkg||... i wish that ||after each pufferfish the fight changed a little, like holding off on fire attacks until after pufferfish 1||
So it’s not the worst, I just only have 6 masks
I forgot that too
Can be interesting
||ignore actually everything else of the end part, just use strength + quick slash + mop + gri, sorru forgot it needed the child||
I have heared that if you ||overcharm|| by 2 it gets set to normal
Idk if thats true
Basically ignoring the restriction
Prob not actually
It doesnt seem likely
||I overcharmed by 2 against tmg on my steel soul and it didn’t cancel it||
replying is different from pinging is it not? just asking
Prob same for ||nkg||
Depends
This reply is a ping
also kinda depends on if you left the ping on or turned it off
This reply is not a ping
example of the not ping version
So they are different things
The last time you accidentally pinged them is not your fault if you were unaware
Just pay attention to it now
ohh now i see, i didnt even know that existed, tysm
Most people are fine with reply pings, its usually in a username or maybe bio if not
yes i will
do you guys have an ||optimal charm loadout for p3||
Optimal is subjective
I like ||strength + quickslash + shaman + twister|| for the first half, I liked to swap out ||twister for grubsong|| and something else in the 2nd half because ||sly phase 2||
Something else could be ||dreamwielder for uumuu||
||3 out of shaman, strength, mop, quickslash, quick focus and 1 or 2 of dream wielder, grubsong, nailmaster's glory, steady body, spell twister, soul catcher, fragile heart||
thx
Yw
Or ||nailmaster’s glory||
I mean, I named which I used
I could have added ||steady body|| because I did use that my first time
But I wont/dont anymore
whats the most ||optimal path for white flower quest? ill go and kill all enemies first but id rather take a path with no environmental hazards (like very little)||
I like to go past ||blue lake, the crossroads entry into fungal wastes and past teachers archives and the acid pool from wastes to gardens||
You can swim in ||acid|| without breaking it
100% depends on what you have
I am making subtle assumptions
(i assume you confirmed the ||tear||)
||broken vessel fight|| yippee. any tips for dodging the ||upside down rain of acid blobs???? like the ones where he stands still and things fly from him.|| also any ||charm|| layouts would be appreciated!!
There should be atleast 1 side where the rain cant hit you, my friend also kept tipping me to pogo him when he does that, which I have personally never done
i suck at pogo. ive been staying to the right so lemme see if i can dodge from the left, ty!
Optimal it is ||strength shaman Quickslash Steady MoP of Strength Fury Steady Quickslslash Flukenest.
But you're not gonna be able to use that optimally
The others have given you some good tips for a more practical build||
Lol
So the further away if I remember the bigger the spacing between the acids so keep distance when he does that and just ||spell him down||
||charm layout for broken vessel fight?||
||longnail, shaman stone, soul catcher|| i would recommend
over ||quick slash or quick focus?||
hey, i need help with a boss on ps5, can anyone help?
what boss
how do y have so many charms at broken vessle
wdym 🫠 i can be a bit of a wuss so i like preparing as much as possible before any boss lol
@still forge second encounter of a specific female
lol i just didnt think u could get that much
how can i turn off the gray boxes?
You must use them
In certain cases
If the bot doesnt remove your messages its fine
But with certain words it will, unless you spoiler them
||hornet 2?||
@last flame yes
Send a screenshot of your charms
im on ps5, not sure how
Take a picture then
Do you have a phone?
1second
You have to spoiler it or it gets deleted
i got ||broken vessel!! WHY DID HE REACH FOR ME THOUGH. I FEEL SO BAD HE WAS LIKE MY TWIN OR SMTHNNN||
i need to stop getting attached to people
sent a dm to you @last flame
without too many spoilers, ||is this guy a fight or just lore i dont understand||
i was so excited to get here and now 😔
Something to remember for later. It will be important.
for later
||is getting to broken Vessel without crystal heart impossible?||
Good luck with ||queens gardens||
Dont ragequit
well now im nervous lol i thought it was some ||pretty area||
It is indeed a very pretty area but. You'll see😭😭
I went out the second I got the ||Third Spell lol||
It has some annoying enemjes
LMAOOOO VALID
I hate that place man
I mean, what else is in there lol!?
most places do 💔 ||fungal wastes|| and those STUPID ||plants and mantises|| nearly made me lose it
I mean.... I dont wanna spoil you😭
Exactly. Exactyyyy
||THERES A BEEHIVE IN THIS GAME????????|| separate discussion
Pls, I’ve already been spoiled about some things, just tell me if it’s useful for ||Nightmare King Grimm||
I’m there early
Specifically not that fight no. But theres more things to do there
You can definitely go back later
Oh wait i forgot. Where👀
Are they useful in general?
have u completed the game ?
More important than useful I'll say
Yea yea dont worry. I got nothing to be spoiled on
Oh, is it stuff to get ||a specific ending?||
there is a ||shade skip|| but its very tight
Yeepppp you got it!!
||next to ancient basin and below kingdom's edge||
Ah, is it ||to get the true ending?|| Cause that’s my goal before I go to Silksong
Ah you meant that sorry i forgot for a sec
Yesss
And should I ||go back to Nightmare King later?|| Or should I keep bashing my head against the wall for a bit longer?
Okey, ty
LMAOOOO
Keep trying but if you cant do it now, do the other stuff
Mid game and he’s late game boss
Okey, ty
Bro then, definitely move on lol
lol, I just really like ||Grimm||
How do you do it?
unsure
Valid
Second favorite character and boss, take a wild guess who’s my first favorite
||hornet?||
👀👀
Lollll
I mean
Thank you regardless
where to find ||the nail guy after we let him live?||
and does finding him give a %??
||nail master sheo's place. In greenpath||
tyyy
i dont understand ||where u go to the teachers archives because if u go to teachers archives from the fungal entrance from crossroads then u dont come across any acid lake in fungal wastes|| can u mark ||the path on a map||
where is it in grenpath?
Do you remember seeing a really complicated platforming challenge
||past a long room in the lower left part, where a lot of floating passive guys with spikes shells are||
That lake would be after that
i ll check ty guys
I think I can find an image of that brb
does taking ||lifeblood heart dmg also break the flower? i mean its pretty obvious it should but i still wanna make sure||
I cant give an image rn, it would spoil the whole map
It does
I am not helping any further rn because I am in a tough hk challange
images can be marked spoiler tho can they not?
Probably brb after it
Yes but it would spoil you the whole map
its alright thank you so much till now
i have completed everything else pretty much
||i have all endings apart from godhome one and have maxed everything other than my health||
does|| p5 gives 1%||??
No
Even I dont have that one yet
dang then idk what i'm missing
How much ||essence|| do you have
And have you talked to the npc related to it
2000 i think
2400 and talking to that npc is 1%
are u at 111%?
yea
amazing
tyy i ll to that then
@surreal turret

Also, have you been in ||godhome yet|| you already know about it so it isnt a spoiler
thank you
The challange I was trying was ||charmless p4|| which I failed
yes i have
Nice
||are u doing bindings for the lifeblood door?||
||or is it for the other secret interation||
Both, mostly just doing them to do all eventually
Hmm
||uk what interaction im talking about right? the one with the godtuner||
||
||
||oh my god i have to fight hornet again||
||with the mask yes, godtuner is a random one which I already got||
||at least no visual spikes in the entrance ceiling to show there's a gate
The mask is for now far away but its good to progress towards it
OH MY GOD
||then ig im confused, what was the interation with the mask? i forgot the godtuner one was random||
YOU LIED
IM NOT RADY
The mask is if you do ||all bindings||
I have gotten ||11/20||
what happens then
good luck you got this

||Every warrior dream is required for 112% right?||
How big is the physical edition hallownest poster? I’ve heard 8x11 inches but I wanna make sure before I go spending

Imma just like… ping a staff or two…
this doesnt mean nothing
yeah pls

||what is godseeker mode?||
Locks you in ||godhome||
Why
Idk it just exists
to focus more on the ||pantheons||
how to unlock the ||godseeker mode||
Do you automatically own everything?
||Any ending I think||
Yes
Damnnnnnn
Except you can’t get ||carefree melody||
Can ||godseeker||be used for speedrunner?
you just dont need to ||simple key godseeker|| and you spawn on it
Maybe?
but I did some ||endings and got only the steal soul||
I need yes or no not maybe
Hmm which ones
||sealed siblings, the normal radiance one and the normal thk one||
@sweet kite can you look at this guys bio and ban him plz
Weird idk
Oooh I think you get it after ||p3||
Practice lots in ||HoG|| before in ||pantheon||
No I'm a green mod
Sorry ur the first one that popped up
yea I try to do in ||HoG|| but I still got an insane issue 😔
Damn… keep trying I believe in u!
Is this normal??
Do you have mods installed?
bro that guy really got banned 
thank god
Fr
I literally uninstalled the only mod bench of hollow knight (lumifly)
Uninstalling doesn't make the game vanilla
You have to downpatch if you want to keep playing modded or verify the files if you want vanilla
Or uninstall and reinstall from Steam, progress is saved in the cloud so it will remove modded code and keep ur progress
That is functionally the same as verifying the files but just takes longer
Not too much longer if your download speed is decent
Point is, it makes no sense to do
So do I just press this button??
Yeah
?tag verify
That was also a solution, which is imo better but both should work
||pure vessel||
Good luck
Okay?
emotinol support ||grimm||
Where do I get ||Shade Dash||?
||abyss||
||what bosses have you defeated? so I don't spoiler you...||
Just got to ||Nightmare King in Mid Game||
