[primal ibex]

[jade mauve]

[noble peak]

Yes

[jade mauve]

it says everything that needs to be said i think

[primal ibex]

yes

the deleted in 1 min part can be removed imo

[noble peak]

But it’s somehow just too long

Yeah

Like it should say this

Please spoiler mark your message so people don’t get spoiled. You can do this by typing /spoiler at the start or adding two bars outside your words

Ok tbh that’s still too long

lol

[jade mauve]

1. why change it if it says everything you need
2. it’s not even that long

[noble peak]

Random ahh

🔹 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.

[tidal mauve]

[primal ibex]

[jade mauve]

besides if someone was doing low% levels of low gear they would know

[foggy jolt]

i’m not on my pc is what i meant i have discord on it dw i’ll send it

[noble peak]

Why can’t just take the screenshot and send it to discord from computer on browser or smth

[primal ibex]

might take a while to sign in

[noble peak]

Bro I have one boss left in entire game to kill

It’s so annoying that I can’t even reach it

[primal ibex]

which one

[noble peak]

||absrad||

[primal ibex]

ok gl

[noble peak]

Gl to what reaching it then dying

I mean at least if I reach it I can end up killing it at some point

[primal ibex]

you can practice in ||hall of gods|| after reaching her

[noble peak]

Ik

Also yk thing under her what actually is that

[primal ibex]

you'll see once you get ||attuned hog||

[noble peak]

Is like ||void idol|| right

Ok

[noble peak]

If one is already ||radiant can I still get attuned||

[primal ibex]

yes

[noble peak]

Ok

[deep edge]

YOO I MADE IT

[foggy jolt]

WHAT THE HELL??? ||THE TOP OF P4 IS THE HOLLOW KNIGHT??? I HAVEN'T FOUGHT HIS NORMAL VERSION YET AND I'M ON 4 MASKS WTH DO I DO???||

I'm about to die, aren't I?

IT'S CALLED ||PURE VESSEL||? I'm cooked

Yup, 2 attacks

[hazy adder]

Yuh gg

Wdym you haven’t fought the normal one? Get out of ||godhome|| and do that

[foggy jolt]

I assumed the ||pantheon|| would be locked if it had a boss I haven't fought yet

[hazy adder]

Yes

[foggy jolt]

So I've been postponing it

[foggy jolt]

Well why isn't this one locked then?

[hazy adder]

Cuz it’s not the same boss

[golden flower]

there are some exceptions
the final one additionally doesnt require anything, even if theyre similar to other fights

[hazy adder]

Completely different

[foggy jolt]

Alright well then I'mma do everything else before the last ||pantheons||

[hazy adder]

Yes

[cosmic gull]

Where do I use ||nail arts|| and ||shriek||in ||gpz||?

[hazy adder]

Don’t

[foggy jolt]

The things left on my to do list are... ||The Flower Quest and the Path of Pain||...

[hazy adder]

||PoP|| is optional

[deep edge]

i did the ||flower quest|| yesterday

[foggy jolt]

I know

[foggy jolt]

Congrats dude

[deep edge]

its easy to first try

[foggy jolt]

Anyways I'm 109% completion

[golden flower]

||shriek|| maybe on ads? dont see any real usecases for it (and ||fireball|| is probably better there anyway)
||cyclone|| on drop is viable, idk any others

[deep edge]

||PoP|| isnt..

[foggy jolt]

I'mma go fight ||Nightmare King Grim||

I should be ready

[golden flower]

im not a ||gpz|| player tho

[foggy jolt]

Is there any part of ||PoP|| where longer reach would do more harm than good?

[vague fern]

not really

some people think that it makes you || pogo into spikes|| but you can like.. delay the pogo

it just messes with some people to pogo earlier

[polar flicker]

Ghost ping ?

[shut sparrow]

||longer reach can never do harm||

||you can always pogo at the same distance you did without the longer reach||

[vague fern]

💀

[polar flicker]

Ok who pinged me again

[shut sparrow]

lune

[vague fern]

pretty sure it was oswald

[shut sparrow]

I saw it

Tips for ||Soul Master's second phase?||
I'm using ||Longnail and Shaman Stone||

[simple galleon]

||When you feel like your getting close to phase 2, start saving soul. In phase 2, I watch him above me, and dash as soon as he stops moving sideways (shortly before he starts moving down). When he stops, spam spells. Don't try to heal.||

[proud helm]

||lil jump, dodge, repeat. That phase is a rhythm game. Afterwards just whack him||

[wise hull]

Ah

Thank you

He died already 😭

[proud helm]

||you could sneak in some upwards hits if you want but it’s easier to just dodge||

[wise hull]

||I dodged the barrage of downward dashes and then just spammed up slash||

[shut sparrow]

please make sure to tag this

but congrats anyways!

[foggy jolt]

Alr I managed to do the first section of ||PoP||. How many are there?

[wise hull]

Is ||Longnail + Shaman Stone + Steady Body|| good enough for ||Mantis Lords||?

[wise hull]

I will, mb

[polar flicker]

Well depends what else u have but it'll do the job

[wise hull]

||6 masks and the Channeled Nail|| so far I can make through half of the fight

[simple galleon]

If you beat ||soul master||, you'll be fine. Just take your time and be patient.

[wise hull]

Kk

[kindred fulcrum]

Low-key just get into the flow state

[proud helm]

|| four || iirc ||the last one took me twice as long as the other combined ||

[wise hull]

I was stuck in ||Deepnest|| for so long I unlocked my true potential and defeated ||Soul Master||

[azure rose]

Guys how do i see howmany messages ive sent?

[simple galleon]

[red cairn]

That was a scam bot

Just letting you know

[shut sparrow]

I didn't see the original message

[red cairn]

Ik

[hard minnow]

ENDGAME SPOILER: is it possible to ||hit pv 2 times with a shade soul while they're dashing away and I have shaman soul equipped?||

[golden flower]

yes

[hard minnow]

Is the timing hard?

Oh I just did it

Seems easy enough

[vague fern]

You can do it 3 times even

on his || triple slash || attack **

(And w/o || shaman ||)

[hard minnow]

Wtf

I didn't even knew it was smt that was possible

[hazy adder]

Dang, I didn’t know that either

[shut sparrow]

||4 is possible too. Not on pv tho||

[hard minnow]

Like against ||soul master/tyrant?||

[vague fern]

Its hard tbf and not worth for 99.9% of people to risk

[shut sparrow]

I don't think so

[foggy jolt]

When I said sections I meant statues...

[shut sparrow]

||pretty sure watcher knight works but I don't know all the bosses||

[vague fern]

|| absrad || is possible

Theres a few ik

[shut sparrow]

||in ground?||

[golden flower]

makes sense

[hard minnow]

If it works on ||wk|| ig it's should also works on ||tamer||

[vague fern]

Uh probably theoretically in ground but mainly plats

[shut sparrow]

probably

[vague fern]

Iirc || shade soul hits her twice so if it does that, then she tps in its path again then 2*2 hits ||

You should like never try it though so idk

[shut sparrow]

||needs to tp in front of the hitbox tho, not into it. Otherwise there isn't enough time for both hits||

[vague fern]

Yeah

But if you're close then you wouldnt || shade soul || anyways so more just a funny interaction

[hard minnow]

"I have no mout but I must ||shriek||"

[shut sparrow]

lune

when ||asc 1.0||

[vague fern]

i mean maybe idk

[hard minnow]

What is that?

[vague fern]

I play the game like once a fortnight rn i dont enjoy it

[shut sparrow]

lune is @vague fern

[vague fern]

[hard minnow]

Oh
It means moon in french

[shut sparrow]

you should do it when I beat ||radiant|| imo

[vague fern]

I could just lock in for like 5 hours and beat || rabtheon pv || and then do || asc 1.0 || after

The issue is, i think its harder than im expecting

[shut sparrow]

what is that

[vague fern]

So its unlikely i'll wanna do it

Like no || oc || is ew

[shut sparrow]

which one

[vague fern]

|| rab pv ^42 ||, it'll be the third time ive done ts

100 minute run

[hard minnow]

What's ||asc 1.0||?

[vague fern]

|| asc ||

[golden flower]

bad

[shut sparrow]

a modded boss

[vague fern]

No || oc + 2x dmg || is ew

[shut sparrow]

||any radiance||

[hard minnow]

Oh

[vague fern]

I think you'd do that first tbh

[shut sparrow]

the third time you beat it??

[hard minnow]

How do you get from ||any radiance to asc?||

[vague fern]

well ive beat it twice not 3 times

But it'll be the third

[shut sparrow]

probably. My clear is very close anyway and I didn't even use ||melody||

[vague fern]

|| it replaces absrad in HoG so you just select ascended ||

[hard minnow]

Oh

[vague fern]

wtf nerf ||n||onsenf

And why no || cfm ||

[hard minnow]

Still don't know what ||n||onsenf means

[vague fern]

nor do i tbh, maybe we get a lore drop

[shut sparrow]

||I meant my ascended clear. Without the dive into the void in climb I took one hit. Had that been melody it would've literally been radiant while I was going for ascended||

[vague fern]

ohh

are you doing || rad || rn ?

[shut sparrow]

later probably. Or tomorrow since I'm tired

[vague fern]

guh sorry to hear that

Stay sane gng ur cool

[shut sparrow]

wtf 😔 it's fun

[vague fern]

I did kinda enjoy || att || a lil but i gotta pretend i hate it

[hard minnow]

Is it better to start the ||pv|| fight from thz right or from the left?

[vague fern]

Doesnt matter

Left has more space so ig that

its either left or like inside him for || fury proc ||

[flint dew]

[fluid thistle]

i always got close to him at the start. doesn't matter tho

[foggy jolt]

I'm pretty sure I'm on the last one rn

[fluid thistle]

7

[fluid thistle]

if u'r going horizontally & to the right then yeah

[fluid thistle]

hmm i'd say the fight isn't too || spell || based for || Shaman Stone || but ig it'll work.

[wise hull]

Newsflash

Getting stuck in ||Deepnest|| taught me how to lock tf in and I beat them first try with the ||Channeled Nail|| and no ||spells||

[hard minnow]

Beat who?

Oh i see

[wise hull]

||Deepnest|| can do wonders

I still died twice on ||Soul Master|| tho

[hard minnow]

Seems like I'm alone in this but when I beat ||mantis lord|| on my first playthrough I pratically explored ||deepnest|| through and through

[fluid thistle]

imo the east side is worse than the west

[wise hull]

||I really like the west for that one room with the flying worms||

[spring mesa]

It changes people

For the better ofcourse

[fluid thistle]

lol
i just found it easier prolly cuz i went there near the end

[hard minnow]

There's a trick where they got a ||limited numbers of spawns|| so you can just wait in ||a broken tram|| until they shoot them all and kill them through the thine wall

[spring mesa]

||Failed tramway ||

[wise hull]

||Farmed 2k geo just from that room alone||

[eternal island]

<

[wise hull]

THAT'S WHAT I DO LMAO

Favourite room for ||Unbreakable Charms||

[fluid thistle]

lol i did that tho only cuz i got stuck

[near forum]

I went into ||deepnest|| saw it was dark and scary, then ran away
I finished it later

[wise hull]

Gonna go back for the 15k when I need it

[fluid thistle]

ig i did at some point but got lost etc so just decided later

[eternal island]

any tips for ||p3 (Zote)||?

[fluid thistle]

went there early-mid game then mid-end game for the west side

[wise hull]

||the darkness was too hard for me to make it to Distant Village||
I'll have to grind geo to buy the ||lantern from Sly ig||

I dropped in ||Deepnest|| when I was exploring
I came out as a different person

[fluid thistle]

i remember using to grind from the || Husk Guard || & that westmost room in || Crossroads ||
tho the || Moss Knights || are better for grinding ig

there are better methods ofc but ion think u reached em

[wise hull]

||Moss Knights|| are annoying to kill because of the ||blocks||

[fluid thistle]

shields?

[wise hull]

Oh wait I completely forgot about the ||Grubs||
They have due Geo to give me

[fluid thistle]

well i see

[snow stream]

I can't join the voice,why?

[fluid thistle]

lol

[wise hull]

By blocks I meant how they block attacks but same thing

[fluid thistle]

yeah i see

[fluid thistle]

u need enough mssgs

[snow stream]

how many

?

[golden flower]

150

[snow stream]

ohhh

can i spam?

[fluid thistle]

no

u can just put || PoP 112% etc || in ur name or are there some conditions to be met (aside doing them)?

[primal ibex]

No

[polar flicker]

?

[golden flower]

probably dont lie i guess
it doesnt matter

[hard minnow]

Iirc, ||sharp shadows|| does as much damage as the nail, but does it count with ||strenght?||

[golden flower]

no

[hard minnow]

Bummer

[fluid thistle]

alr

[golden flower]

||dashmaster|| raises it to 1.5x

[polar flicker]

U can put wtvr u want just try to be honest

[fluid thistle]

alr

[simple island]

Usually people who put irrealistic stuff are rather obvious
Mostly because people who do like ||r5 don’t|| put it in their name tag lol

[wise hull]

Am I valid

[fluid thistle]

lmao

[polar flicker]

The best players I've seen here are rlly humble and chill

[wise hull]

The best players are the ones who always help beginners

[royal hull]

||how many times does Zote appear overall? Considering overworld too like in dirtmouth appearances and city of tears||

[polar flicker]

Prob best to check the wiki

[hard minnow]

Iirc like 5 (||greenpath, city, deepnest, collo and dirtmouth||)

[fluid thistle]

yeah i thought the names are like "u can ask me abt this" etc, aside bragging

[wooden obsidian]

im quitting bro

||colo3|| is too hard nothing works. furthest wave ive gotten to is ||wave 14 at the spikey part||

maybe i should spiler that a little more wait

[fluid thistle]

what charms do u have?

[wooden obsidian]

i wanna keep ||weaver + gsong|| for ||god tamer|| and the other bosses i dont wanna deal with

[fluid thistle]

i mean general not just what u'r using

[wooden obsidian]

ioh\

all of them

i think

[royal hull]

russian scam imagine Ship thinks

[hard minnow]

Inventory screenshot?

[royal hull]

do mods have logs

[golden flower]

yeah
oh message logs id imagine

[royal hull]

speicifcally ofr llike images

[wooden obsidian]

i swear i have a skill issue dawg

[deep edge]

||god tamer is easy u just pogo on the beast||

[hard minnow]

||did you beat p3?||

[wooden obsidian]

who me?

[fluid thistle]

hmm
|| Thorns of Agony if u have a hard time hitting enemies
u can before enemies spawn btw. i'd recommend Quick Focus maybe.
UNBREAKABLE STREGTH
u don't need Weaversong for God Tamer. just pogo on the beast & spam Ddark, so Shaman Stone &/or Spell Twister.
I'd keep Quickslash & Nailmaster's Glory. ||

[hard zodiac]

what no?

[bronze wharf]

hey im by the ||quuens garden|| and I found a bench trying to find ||cornifer|| but i dont hear nor see him and there is no trail

[hard zodiac]

smh i was sleeping (i passed out)

[wooden obsidian]

thak you

[golden flower]

||weaversong is for soul, thorns bad||
otherwise sure

[hard minnow]

Here's my advice:
Try ||p3 to at least encounter godtamer in godhome||, you'll be able to practice as long as you want to afterwards and not be forced to put on ||weaver||

[wooden obsidian]

alrighty

i only beat ||p1|| i think but i wanna save that for post game stuff

[fluid thistle]

|| he said it's for God Tamer so i told em how to do it
Thorns only if u get hit a lot & have a hard time hitting ||

[wooden obsidian]

erh

[wooden obsidian]

both actually kinda

[hard minnow]

Yeah, ||godtamer is only the 4th boss in the p3, so you wouldn't need to go too far||

[wooden obsidian]

good for getting soul and damage

maybe ill put on ||thorns|| for the klast one

does ||dream wielder|| give you more soul or

[golden flower]

double

[hard minnow]

It doubles the ||dreamnail|| soul

[golden flower]

33 => 66

[wooden obsidian]

alright alright

[wooden obsidian]

thabks

[golden flower]

its very strong there

[fluid thistle]

yeah but idk when u gonna use it. prolly useful

ah the worms

[wooden obsidian]

my guess ||dreamnailing|| the ||garpedes|| when they go top to bottom but thats rusky

risky

[fluid thistle]

ye same thought. i think i did that

[wooden obsidian]

matybe i could swap it out for ||defenders crest|| to kill those floating guys during the ||soul part||

but idunno man

[fluid thistle]

it does very lil dmg so i'm not sure

[wooden obsidian]

considering it can 1 hit the floating mfs during ||broken vessel|| it can probably 1 hit the ||follies||

[golden flower]

||bv|| balloons have 1 health
||follies/mistakes|| have 13

[wooden obsidian]

oh dang

welp

[fluid thistle]

they have 1hp

the floating shitties

[fluid thistle]

the charm does 3 dmg per second if i remember?

[hard minnow]

Ithink it's 1

[polar flicker]

No it's 3

[fluid thistle]

|| for Soul Warrior, stay on the ground as much as possible as the spawns only spawn in the upper half or smth of the arena. u can one hit em if u have pure nail. if u get overwhelmed ddark for i-frames, tho for the follies u can get away & send a shade soul that'll hit both SW & kill the spawn. SW has a knockback so soul will hit him twice ig. ||

WOOOHOOO

[golden flower]

gj

[foggy jolt]

Does this mean I'm a good Hollow Knight player?

Yay

[wooden obsidian]

GOSD JOBB

[golden flower]

such a term is not real

[cosmic heath]

|| yo i need shadow dash for queens garden skip right?||

[hard minnow]

I don't think there is good hollow knight player, the one who struggles 10 hours on ||false knight|| is just as valid as the one who ||first tried p5||

[marsh shard]

I agree

[cosmic heath]

?

[polar flicker]

If u never gave up and did it tht already makes u good

[marsh shard]

||yup for me I'm stuck on the pantheon of the knight but I'll never give up I practice the bosses and come back when I think I'm struggling too much too||

[desert timber]

how can i reach there

[simple galleon]

Entrance is in ||fungal wastes||

[shut sparrow]

wtf

don't do that

[cosmic heath]

||steel sould mode do i die if i die in the dream world ?||

[golden flower]

no*

[shut sparrow]

||depends on the dream world. Usually no. If dying puts you on a bench then yes, it counts as a real death||

[foggy jolt]

Just finished the ||flower quest||. 2% completion remain

[carmine tinsel]

so what am i missing, charm lady still says i need 1 more

[royal hull]

||no except for The Radiance and White Palace||

[royal hull]

||the little half charm in the corner isn't complete||

[carmine tinsel]

Yeah I have no idea what to do for that

[royal hull]

where did you get it

[carmine tinsel]

||Queen's Garden||

[royal hull]

||How many essance do you have||

[foggy jolt]

First max out your ||Dreamnail. It needs 2400 essence||

[carmine tinsel]

2558

[cold rock]

||visit the seer||

[carmine tinsel]

I did

[desert timber]

how can i reach the flame?

[royal hull]

||go dreamnail the knight white on ancient basin||

[royal hull]

show your inventory

[carmine tinsel]

||So i have to get through the parcour hell area||

[foggy jolt]

||entrance from different area||

[royal hull]

ye

[desert timber]

where?

[royal hull]

||Take a tram to kingdom's edge and find a breakable wall||

also pings off please

[desert timber]

where can i find the ||tram||

[spring mesa]

East of the ||hotspring ||

[fresh wedge]

Uhm does the ||sun balls|| from ||absolute radiance|| despawn when they go off screen in this patch still?

I was watching this guide
|| https://youtu.be/KJPjAK8gIeI?si=jSTUAnmpJfqTs97z&t=407 ||

[golden flower]

that is intended behaviour

[fresh wedge]

Thats too forgiving 😮

[golden flower]

though pogoing is a bad idea usually

[fresh wedge]

It's quite annoying to dodge it :/

many at the same time

[shut sparrow]

only off screen at the top tho

[lofty totem]

yo what do i have to do to complete 112 im 101 now

[minor flax]

Any tips for ||absrad||

[minor flax]

Can I dm you a link for that?

[lofty totem]

yes please

[faint quartz]

that one scarred me

[minor flax]

I can beat every boss except that in ||p5||

[faint quartz]

you prob alr know, but ||during phase one dont rly use spells, and when the transition hits spam abyss shriek||

[minor flax]

Transition?

Like when he throws a bunch of spikes in the air

||(When he get consumed and escaped the void)||

[neat karma]

Thats not really ||her second phase but i assume thats what they mean yeah||

[inland mason]

I am new to the server and dont really know how things work here but I am open for questions for both games, I have beaten all bosses on ||radiant|| and have all achievements in both of them, hope I can help someone have a nice day

[lapis grotto]

Any advice for ||the Radiance||?

[crude cliff]

Its as simple as just replying to questions you see and making sure to use spoilers when we expect you to (which the bot will tell)

[spring mesa]

||Qslash shaman sbody and catcher ||

[desert timber]

||steady body|| u sure ?

[ripe phoenix]

looking at your charms i‘d put on || soul catcher and dream wielder|| (in addition to what you already have equipped. The first || trials isn‘t that hard, so you can really just experiment and find what you are good with||

[mighty stag]

|| In the pantheons if i want to light all the things on the doors of each pantheon do i have to do all binding at the same time ?||

Cause i did it for the first one bit the other are too hard

[ripe phoenix]

no, each one separately does the trick

[mighty stag]

That's great thanks you !

[golden flower]

they have a different glow there if all are done at once, yeah
looks like this

[mighty stag]

||After i've got the life blood buff and achieve the pantheon 5 i will try 2,3 and 4 all bindings||

[ripe phoenix]

but it has no benefit, other than what you already get for doing them separately

[golden flower]

if referring to ||the blue door under||, seperately works

[golden flower]

fun

[spring mesa]

It's an extremely useful charm

[mighty stag]

Yeah but this detail is cool

[spring mesa]

100% use it

[ripe phoenix]

when you get all of them on all of them, you also get a secret lore drop

[mighty stag]

Yeah but the fifth 💀

[ripe phoenix]

I know 💀

[golden flower]

doing ||p5eb (seperate) is not all that much harder than a base p5 clear||
maybe im wrong

[mighty stag]

I think it's longer but the life one is really harder i think (i didn't try)

[hoary vigil]

||I'd beat mantis lords to get mark of pride and use Quick Slash, Steady Body, Mark of Pride, and Spell Twister but it depends on your preference and what type of build you're comfortable with||

[golden flower]

using ||heart brings it to 6 total masks||

[mighty stag]

Yeah i forgot about that charm

So it just need more patience

[hoary vigil]

||Is eb different from all bindings??||

[mighty stag]

But i don't have it

[crude cliff]

||ab = all at once, eb is just having all done||

[golden flower]

||ab|| is all at once, ||eb|| is not

[hoary vigil]

Ohhhhh

[crude cliff]

Tho linguistically the difference between 'every' and 'all' doesnt seem to significant, this is what the community choose

[polar flicker]

Where's the vid bird

[hoary vigil]

Tips on ||Radiant Gruz Mother||?? The ||arena change|| is so ass

[desert timber]

i won what should i add next?

[crude cliff]

It kinda takes a bit to send it over to my phone

Its coming

[hoary vigil]

Why are your charms weirdly oval shaped?

[golden flower]

hm
||usual meta build (mop, shaman, qs, sbody, overcharm strength)
attacks come on consistent intervals, always expect a charge
just dash between the platforms, no reason for any more movement
ddark/cloak on a charge, 2 hits on every bounce on bounce
shriek as a move ends||

[ripe phoenix]

stay on your feet, get down the rhythm of slashing behind you while running away. Conserve your || shade dash for when you switch directions ||. If you stay situationally aware the arena change isn‘t that bad and she doesn‘t have that much hp.

[desert timber]

wdym ?? js gimme what should i use for coll 2nd quest

[crude cliff]

||I used sharpshadow and mostly relied on that, always make sure to know to wjat platform you want to dash before dashing, than you wont land in spikes||
Not the quickest stragey tho

[ripe phoenix]

|| dream wielder||

[desert timber]

waht does it do?

[hoary vigil]

What did you win??

[desert timber]

||trail of fool 😭 ||

[ripe phoenix]

|| makes your dream nail faster and makes it give you more soul ||

[golden flower]

heavily reduced usage time on ||dreamnail|| and double soul (33 => 66)

[crude cliff]

The main tip you should take from this is to always make sure where you are ||dashing|| to before ||dashing|| that combines whit any strategy

[desert timber]

ohh so more soul didnt know that i thought it makes the ||dream nail|| faster

[hoary vigil]

||Is colo second trial the one where the deepnest invincible crawler things appear halfway through or is that colo 3||??

[golden flower]

3

[ripe phoenix]

also: || nail arts can be good to one-shot certain flying enemies in colo||

[white ingot]

which ||unbreakable||should i unlock first

[golden flower]

probably ||strength >= greed > heart||
if getting all 3 it doesnt matter

[calm torrent]

Strength

[hoary vigil]

||Strength||

[lofty totem]

WHYYY

[hoary vigil]

By far the best one

[calm torrent]

Why do you hide the text?

Is it needed?

[crude cliff]

Its needed yes

[golden flower]

im not sure why ||strength|| isnt in the list but yes

[simple galleon]

||He's protecting them while they transform.||

[hoary vigil]

It could be a spoiler for some people so that's why

[lofty totem]

to what?

[ripe phoenix]

if you to go for farming all of them, it would make sense to do ||greed first, to do the others faster||

[calm torrent]

Thanks

[polar flicker]

Oh weird

[hoary vigil]

||Chill he's sacrificing himself so that his children evolve into the next stage of their life|| LORE SPOILER

[white ingot]

im planning to

[ripe phoenix]

|| it is their lifecycle||

[simple galleon]

||Grubberflys I think. All we really know is "move to the next stage of their lives".||

[lofty totem]

ohh

sad

[calm torrent]

Wait how can i hide the text yall

[hoary vigil]

I'm pretty sure that ||colo 2|| is the fastest way to grind geo in the entire game when they've progressed that far

[simple galleon]

|| around both sides of text

[golden flower]

||spoiler||

[hoary vigil]

Put a || before and after the text

[calm torrent]

||hi||

TY

[hoary vigil]

There we go

[calm torrent]

||I've a theory that its because after he ate them they will turn into butterflies or smth so they're safe ig||

[calm torrent]

[hoary vigil]

I'm pretty sure that ||the grubs will transform into grubberflies (which is the next stage of their life not butterflies) and then eat grubfather from the inside out to escape||

[crude cliff]

@polar flicker I finally got the video
To anyone ||absrad|| tips?
And here is some footage attached
I have already seen most of the general tips and resorted to a "cheese" build but it still isnt working

[desert timber]

guys am doing the last ||fool trail|| any tips?

[ripe phoenix]

you‘ll have to see first, there ||are a lot of interesting and new things in the last trial. there is no shame in coming back later, with better items||

[stuck cave]

whats popping ✌️

[jade tapir]

Just tried opening the game, and every time I do, it starts to launch and than instantly closes right after. I think it for a split second opens up a small white window, but idk what son it because it instantly closes right after. Anyone know what's up?

[golden flower]

is it (has it been) modded

[crude cliff]

Have you tried it before
If this is your first time trying, just see where you get and rpactice if it feels doable, if you have been stuck on this for a while, either come back later or wait for others to give tips, my main tip is to rely on ||dreamwielder|| but someone already said that

[jade tapir]

I have modded it in the past, but I disabled all lumafly mods currently

look.

[mighty stag]

|| What's the visual of a pantheon with all bindings but did separatly cause i just know the one with all in one run ( for pantheon 1)||

[jade tapir]

oh my god its fixed lets go

for?

[golden flower]

[stuck cave]

wait omg omg omg is that what ||p1 and stuff|| stands for 🦫🦫🦫🦫🦫🦫🦫

[golden flower]

acronyms and names of challenges in hk are all over the place and confusing and awful
||p1 does mean pantheon 1, yes||

[stuck cave]

so ||pantheon 5 is p5|| 🏆

oh

yes

[stuck cave]

OHH NICR

holy shit thats so cool

i finally know what ts is an abbreviation for

But thats like post final boss

omg hi redbird

Hi

hru

[stuck cave]

im certain

[crude cliff]

Good

[fluid thistle]

it happens lol

[mighty stag]

Oh so they dont shine

[hoary vigil]

||Shaman stone|| kinda sucks for it so a nail build would probably be best. I'd suggest that you go back to ||Fungal Wastes|| and beat ||the Mantis Lords|| to get ||Mark of Pride|| and use ||Steady Body, Quick Slash, Spell Twister and Mark of Pride||. That's just my preference though it depends on what type of player you are. Do you use ||a lot of spells||??

[barren forge]

hi#

here is an image

[desert timber]

i beated the ||mantis lords|| the 3 dudes right?

ok

You never asked a question

[tough vale]

any one have an idea on this

where shall i go now

[golden flower]

wdym

[crude cliff]

Literally anywhere you can

[red cairn]

yea its a door

[barren forge]

i can't go anywhere anymore though

[calm torrent]

get back your ||shade|| and keep exploring
Put a marker on places that unlocks with an ability

[tough vale]

omg

[barren forge]

ive been exploring here for a while with no luck

[tough vale]

what is this

[golden flower]

opens with ||bindings|| done

[red cairn]

its a door

[tough vale]

wow

[red cairn]

ik

||theres something in it that after enough binds, helps you in pantheons||

[tough vale]

what are these (|| bindings ||)

[deft glade]

||Limitations you can put on yourself before starting a Pantheon||

[calm torrent]

Be patient while exploring

[tough vale]

how can i get them

[calm torrent]

||Actually would yall recommend doing all pantheons? I finished hk 3 times but didn't do any pantheons||

[golden flower]

additional modifiers to stack on top of ||pantheons (big doors above)||
||

• nail: 80% nail damage (cap of 13)
• soul: 33 soul cap (1 heal/spell)
• charm: no charms
• shell: 4 health
  all bindings apply before charms, so anything that increases these can help counteract them
  ||
  in general, dont worry about them at all until the rest of ||godmaster|| is done

[deft glade]

||Click one of the options (nail, shell, charms, soul) during the start screen at the door of a Pantheon||

[tough vale]

ok

[near forum]

Yep
I'd recommended trying ||pantheons, speedruns and randoes||
All are fun in different ways

[golden flower]

yeah

[barren forge]

||i tried going into stone sanctuary but its way too dark to see||

[red cairn]

go somewhere else then for now

[calm torrent]

||Use the charm that collects money and keep farming||

So you can buy the ||lantern||

🔹 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.

Just joined today😭

[calm torrent]

You can use a marker so u know you need a an ability to access the place

[hazy adder]

Save some ||soul|| and just use ||shade soul|| for every enemy

[swift cypress]

[barren forge]

ohh ty

[barren forge]

how

[calm torrent]

AW MAN I FORGET

[calm torrent]

Buy them from ||iselda||

[hazy adder]

||Soul catcher|| isn’t very good

Only 6 ||noches||?

[swift cypress]

:') irgnore current layout im farming for ||unbreakable greed||

[hazy adder]

||shaman, quick slash, long nail/mark of pride, and fillers|| is a good build

It’s just a suggestion tho

[solid heart]

Why did you give her ||greed before farming for it...||

[hazy adder]

Go for strength first, it’s one of the best in the game

[swift cypress]

i am not very smart

[hazy adder]

Oh

[solid heart]

Without it you are better off ||doing colo 2 for the Geo||

[hazy adder]

RIP

[solid heart]

Also that...

[swift cypress]

i also got ||unbreakable health|| before ||greed||..

[swift cypress]

this is my procrastination for ||colo 2|| lol

i hate flying bugs

[solid heart]

Lmao
||Colo 2 is the best farm in the game after hoppers tho 😭||

[hazy adder]

Ye

[solid heart]

No ||greed so hoppers are 20% worse||

[tough vale]

what|| blinding ||should i start with

[hazy adder]

Idk abt the ||hoppers||

[hazy adder]

Nail

[tough vale]

why

[hazy adder]

Easiest

[swift cypress]

currently doing ||hoppers|| lmao

[solid heart]

||charm is the hardest by far
The rest can be mitigated by charms and you will probably just find them random depending on your style||

[hazy adder]

Yes

[solid heart]

No ||greed so they are 20% worse||

[tough vale]

when whats for nail

[solid heart]

Actually no that's not how percentages work

[tough vale]

in charms

[hazy adder]

Wdym

[tough vale]

what

???

[hazy adder]

Like what ||charms|| are good for it?

[tough vale]

i domt know

[solid heart]

Oh my goodness ||greed less hoppers are 30.5% worse||

[tough vale]

dont

[hazy adder]

But is this your question?

[tough vale]

yes

[swift cypress]

okay okayyy i will go back to ||colo|| im barely getting to ||wave 13|| here

[karmic glade]

no, i cant see the rest of your map

[obtuse horizon]

Explore the ||city of tears||

[karmic glade]

those are examples

generally just go to the loose ends on your map

[tiny falcon]

ok

[karmic glade]

you might find a charm, an item or an entirely new area

[errant vault]

Or get completely fried

[karmic glade]

it's a learning experience

[tiny falcon]

this place?

[karmic glade]

see you've found a new area

now you can go explore it

or you can just turn back around and go do something else

if you don't feel like it

[errant vault]

He ended up in a completely unrelated area

[obtuse horizon]

There are not many things to do on that area but you can explore it if you want

[deep edge]

hk is literally about exploring so explore everything u can

[tiny falcon]

i got something called a cyclone thingy

[errant vault]

Its a ||nail art||

[deep edge]

yeah thats cool

[errant vault]

There are 3

[tiny falcon]

[south beacon]

||some "nailmasters" oro and mateo are. they seemingly just swing their nails around like idiots. I beat them once just barely outside the pantheon s but any tips for getting better||

Practice the bosses that are complicated for you

@deep edge do you play rl?

[deep edge]

i used to

[obtuse horizon]

And now?

[deep edge]

nah

[autumn vortex]

do i need all the ||hunter entries|| to get the ||mark||?

[golden flower]

146

[autumn vortex]

Ok

[red cairn]

all the ones counted in it

[autumn vortex]

what that mean

[golden flower]

||the o&m fight is mostly about managing space to keep them both away (and on the same side)

• if ever in between them, wait for an attack to start (to see how to dodge it, eg both of them swinging is a lot harder to dodge than both downslashing), then ddark and shade cloak to get away
• on any regular attack (swing, downslash), dash out then dash slash back in + nail hit (should be a consistent rhythm to it)
• fireball can be used whenever for decent distributed damage on them both (avoid using it when a nail art is being charged, as one could be blocking)
  • triggering a block isnt necessarily a bad thing but its not easy to get out of without taking damage, so id avoid it
• on a dash slash from oro, either pogo or ddark (mato can reposition while its charging, be aware of that and expect it)
• mato is vulnerable to shrieks while cycloning (is that a word?)
• passively reclaim space (walk towards them a bit) in between attacks to avoid getting cornered or having to use a wall
• oro will usually go down first when theyre both active, mato has quite a bit more health

[red cairn]

||there are dlc ones that arent counted til you kill them||

[obtuse horizon]

Omg

[autumn vortex]

[golden flower]

no

[autumn vortex]

nice

[golden flower]

there are ||146 specific entries required for hunter's mark, but the counter goes up to 164 (and there are actually 168 total entries)||

[autumn vortex]

what about the ||things for doing all the bindings?||

[golden flower]

no

[autumn vortex]

Nice

[obtuse horizon]

How many damage does de ||shade soul and abyss shriek do?||

[errant vault]

Good ||colo 3|| build?

[obtuse horizon]

Yeah is good

[crude cliff]

Yes
I used that but I swapped ||twister and soul catcher for quickslash and dreamwielder||

[golden flower]

||shade soul does 30 (40 with shaman) per hit
shriek does 20 per tick (30 with shaman), totaling 80 (120 with shaman)||

[obtuse horizon]

Thanks

[errant vault]

||I prefer spells over nail so I dont use quickslash||

[crude cliff]

||dreamwielder|| is still great for that and
||quickslash means more hits quicker means more soul||

[solid heart]

I was playing with you lol
I'm a challenge runner. I can't really go in depth here but you can check my yt channel for the stuff I do... That takes 1k hours

[obtuse horizon]

||Wdym by 233rd clear of r5||

[golden flower]

he was the 233rd recorded person to finish ||pantheon 5 hitless||

[obtuse horizon]

Wow

[patent plover]

white*👇🏿

Why is the black screen appearing?

[red cairn]

||did you beat the game?||

[patent plover]

no

[red cairn]

oh well, cant help

[patent plover]

I arrived to the hollow knight

[simple galleon]

It's definetly not normal, but since you're not on an official version of the game, there's not much we can do.

[red cairn]

might be because youre on a pirated version

[patent plover]

it's ok
I thought one of you knew the solution

[patent plover]

I found that all the people who use the same version experienced it normally (I forgot to tell you that all scenes in the game are not visible, only a black screen appears).

[red cairn]

ok

[cinder tapir]

Hello, this is my first run. I'm confused on ||where to go after mantis village. I had beaten the mantis lords. What now? ||

[simple galleon]

Do you recall seeing anyone familiar running away in ||fungal wastes||?

[cinder tapir]

No?

[candid sequoia]

you can go into a room where ||a mantis WAS blocking but now you can get a charm and a bench. Then, you can go unlocking a fat path with acid under it, which requires the parkor included with the mantis claw.||

[jade sluice]

i didn't understand the second half

[jade sluice]

you sure you didn't see ||hornet in fungal wastes?||

[simple galleon]

Well if you want to send a screenshot of your map, we can point in the right direction. Otherwise, the best I can describe it is to the right above ||mantis village||.

[cinder tapir]

Not at all

[jade sluice]

hmm

[cinder tapir]

I did beat ||hornet in green path||

[jade sluice]

yes

we know

[stoic fulcrum]

She isn't there

oh wait iam stupid nvm

she is

[golden flower]

[jade sluice]

unless you used skips which why would you do that if its your first playthrough ||you would need dash||

to go to ||mantis||

[cinder tapir]

How do i ||unlock that acid room? ||

[stoic fulcrum]

iam so washed

[jade sluice]

[jade sluice]

indeed

[stoic fulcrum]

|| you don't ||

[simple galleon]

Above ||mantis village||, to the right.

[candid sequoia]

should be up of the ||mantis village||

[jade sluice]

if you're still confused you should just send a screenshot of your map

[cinder tapir]

I did that || 1 skip when hornet was looking at you in greenpath and you have to pogo off of something. I did that because I watched some videos. But, I didn't do any other ones||

[cinder tapir]

Ok

[jade sluice]

ah that one is basic, and doesn't skip important stuff

there are more stupid ones

[simple galleon]

Make sure to spoil the image

[cinder tapir]

Wait but sometimes I don't find the map guy

[jade sluice]

did u not find ||fungal wastes map||?

[cinder tapir]

I don't recall, I will check

[jade sluice]

belehslsbejw i thought of a better option

from the entrance of where you came from to enter ||fungal wastes||

just go right

all the way to the right

[simple galleon]

We don't know where they came in from

[cinder tapir]

all right

[jade sluice]

if you find a big room, go to the right then you will find a room with ||acid then you wall climb||

[jade sluice]

||considering there's only 2 options...|| it still works if he go right

[cinder tapir]

When I came to ||fungal wastes there was a guy that was shooting orange farts at me and he popped like a balloon when he died. that's what I remember||

[simple galleon]

Well those things are kinda all over the place lol

[jade sluice]

i guess you came from ||greenpath then||

[cinder tapir]

I think so

[jade sluice]

true

[cinder tapir]

There was like a bridge in the middle. It was like the first thing u see when u enter

[jade sluice]

yeah ||greenpath > fog canyon > queen station > fungal wastes||

[cinder tapir]

Yeah I did come from||fog canyon||

[simple galleon]

Well from where you entered, go down, the map is right there. (if you don't have it)

[jade sluice]

anyways

i need to go

[cinder tapir]

Alright

[jade sluice]

good luck on finding the path

[cinder tapir]

cya

ty

Thx guya

Guys

[obtuse horizon]

FINALLY

[simple galleon]

Who was the last one?

[obtuse horizon]

After 100h

||absrad||

[golden flower]

gg

[true latch]

Where map for the ||water ways||

[golden flower]

far left

[obtuse horizon]

||radiance and markoth were the worst ones||

[amber belfry]

||any tips for markoth on radiant?||

[golden flower]

||dash slash at the start and end of every shield spin in phase one, spam fireball on the phase two transition (back to dash slashing after)

• probably use something like nmg/shaman/twister (nothing else really matters, so anything else can be used)

• chasing with great slashes is viable but not easy

• only nail damage should be coming from narts

• always be aware of positioning (right side is better, nails can't spawn offscreen) and dont overcommit to a hit (eg if hes in a bottom corner, just wait it out until the next one)

• never pogo

• most important thing is to be patient; being greedy with hits or trying to get close when not shield spinning will very likely end a run
  ||

[amber belfry]

I'll try that thx

[sonic cradle]

What does ||salubra's blessing|| do except ||her soul thing floating when I rest||

[golden flower]
