team cherry is swag

[golden flower]

there is no paid content
the only thing other than the game to buy on steam is the soundtrack

[versed acorn]

Ohhhh the soundtrack

[compact seal]

which is 20$ i think

[versed acorn]

I was almost gonna buy it 😅

Thanks

[compact seal]

maybe 40$ was hk, silksong and soundtrack idk

[versed acorn]

Nah, the ||grimm thing||

[compact seal]

ooh ok
(not ok, what is that?)

[versed acorn]

I don’t know how to explain, but it shows ||grimm|| not sure if that’s the soundtrack though

[compact seal]

...no clue

have you encountered him yet?

[versed acorn]

Me neither 😅

[still forge]

i hate team cherry

[golden flower]

||gods and nightmares (the soundtrack for every post-release song) uses grimm as the thumbnail||

[versed acorn]

Nup

[versed acorn]

Ye this one

[compact seal]

hate message

[compact seal]

oh thanks

@still forge what movement abilities do you have?

[still forge]

all of them]

[compact seal]

screenshot of your inventory?

pwease

[compact seal]

oh

then you should be able to, nvm

[still forge]

just not all upgrades

[compact seal]

hmm

i might am confused

maybe you need to open it eith a ||desolate dive|| by coming from above...?

[sudden cobalt]

anyone have tips for ||absrad||

[still forge]

i dont know how to come from abouve

[compact seal]

oh, that part of the game...
i'll tell you a secret
-# ||tryharder||

jk

charm build?

[barren forge]

how do i get out of here to the right?

[compact seal]

go right and search some breakable walls ig

[compact seal]

just explore

[golden flower]

down left, right, up

[barren forge]

im trying to go right but i cant get on

[compact seal]

there is only one way

[barren forge]

i got to ||lake of unn|| and there wasnt anything there so i tried to backtrack and got stuck here

[compact seal]

left, down, left, down, right x3, up, left, up... but im not sure tbh

[sudden cobalt]

this but ||nmg instead of dw||

[barren forge]

what does that mean

[compact seal]

try to use ||shaman long nail streanght quick slash|| or add ||long nail|| leaving charms who costs one
or use the first i said but use ||long nail and steady body|| instead of || mark of pride||

but at that point i yhink it is really a tryharder

[sudden cobalt]

why is that spoiler

[compact seal]

since she is hard and took all of us a lot of attempts to master

[compact seal]

charms someone doesnt have

[compact seal]

direction

[sudden cobalt]

what about the extra ||notch||?

[shut sparrow]

what do you struggle with?

[compact seal]

what

he has 11, the max

[sudden cobalt]

you suggested ||sb and longnail||

[barren forge]

oh ty

[sudden cobalt]

what do i do with extea

[compact seal]

sb?

[sudden cobalt]

mostly platform phase

[sudden cobalt]

||steady body||

[compact seal]

then dont attack her when she is on the far sides, just when she is in the center. play safe.

[shut sparrow]

||use strength, qslash, shaman stone. Then if it's attuned/in the pantheon use steady body and grubsong. If you're doing ascended you might wanna swap steady body and grubsong with twister||

[still forge]

fuckkkk'

i lost 3k geo

[sudden cobalt]

||im more nail focused||

ah

[compact seal]

got confused

sorry

[sudden cobalt]

failed spoiler

[still forge]

th

yh

i go

do[

[shut sparrow]

||then I recommend getting used to spells. It's a lot of fun except for the first 20 minutes and will make your life a looot easier. Besides, mark of pride is horrible for the fight anyway||

[atomic ledge]

Does the ||dash|| have invincibility frames?

[shut sparrow]

no

[sudden cobalt]

i like || mark of pride :(||

[compact seal]

no...?

[sudden cobalt]

by late game it does

[shut sparrow]

I know that's why I said it

[shut sparrow]

don't spoil people??

[sudden cobalt]

not big spoiler

[still forge]

what about the ||rancid egg||

[shut sparrow]

what?

[compact seal]

||mark of pride|| lets you almost skip phase 3 if you are lucky

[sudden cobalt]

give to ||jiji||

[shut sparrow]

yes it is a huge spoiler. Please don't do that

[sudden cobalt]

||shade recovery||

[golden flower]

what

[atomic ledge]

Well i mean i'd rather have found that out but its alright

[still forge]

who ||jiji||

[shut sparrow]

||what phase do you call phase 3?||

and how does ||mop|| let you skip it

[compact seal]

play phase

plat.*

second, theorically

[sudden cobalt]

right of ||dirtmouth||, in that big locked house

[compact seal]

but effectively, 3rd

[shut sparrow]

||that's phase 4. And mark of pride doesn't make it easier in any way||

[compact seal]

no

[still forge]

and then what dose it do

[compact seal]

when you can hit her

oh wai--

[shut sparrow]

hi teqnok. Beautiful pfp

[compact seal]

DAMN I GOT SO CONFUSED

[sudden cobalt]

||shade recovery for a rancid egg||

[compact seal]

I CONFUSED PHASE 2 WITH 3 SORRYY

[atomic ledge]

Is there any specific path i should follow in order or can i just buck it anywhere i want and still be able to finish?

[compact seal]

i thought phase 3 was plat phase sorryy

[shut sparrow]

you can do whatever you want

[atomic ledge]

cool, thanks

[still forge]

i got 25 geo from it

bruh

[shut sparrow]

no worries. Regardless ||mop|| doesn't have a huge impact on any phase

[sudden cobalt]

whatever im sticking with current build

i have been able to beat her with like a 15% win rate

[still forge]

u fucking serious

i got 25 geo insta 3k

[compact seal]

well

[sudden cobalt]

did you die twice after that

[still forge]

no

[sudden cobalt]

did you lose 3k and die again

cuz then youre cooked

[compact seal]

plat phase is literally a tryharder, no tips, no strats, no charms, just experience

[shut sparrow]

||there is of course some things you need to do to progress in this game. But you'll find them when exploring. If you're ever stuck, make sure to look at your map (if you have one) and check anything that looks unexplored||

[still forge]

i died

[shut sparrow]

imo there are certainly tips to give for ||plats||

[compact seal]

oh
which?

[atomic ledge]

||to be honest i dont leave an area until i fully explore it or unless something is locked behind progression that i didnt find in the area so i dont think it'll be much of a problem||

[errant vault]

Not at all

[sudden cobalt]

thats a little inefficient

you can always go back

[compact seal]

i mean first time i played it i knew what i needed to do, about everytime i died it was just a reflex issue

[atomic ledge]

if i explore every area until its bone dry do you really think i care much for efficiency?

[golden flower]

being thorough is fine

[errant vault]

Doesn't matter anyway

[atomic ledge]

||is there any travel pre greenpath Hornet? I have 900 geo rn and i kinda wanna spend it if anything should happen to it||

[shut sparrow]

||to stay near the center, ideally top or bottom middle - I prefer top.
For orbs make sure not to move around the whole arena but stick to one or two plats and do small movements or jumps to lead them into platforms.
For sword wall listen to the audio cues when they spawn and keep in mind they could be there so don't recklessly dash around.
If absrad is on your plat, attack her and if she is about to do an attack (rising wings/glowing face) use dive to dodge it.
Use a lot of spells in general. Shriek for damage and dive if you need to dodge something.||

[shut sparrow]

great! Have fun!

[still forge]

hey zaku

||go fuck yourself||

[atomic ledge]

yes

?

[shut sparrow]

if by ||"travel" you mean fast travel, yes||

[atomic ledge]

What did I do bro 😭

[shut sparrow]

don't be rude

[atomic ledge]

I just check your profile, why are you in active hk for 53 hours bro? 💔

[still forge]

wtf?

[still forge]

[atomic ledge]

[atomic ledge]

||yeah, except the only problem is i don't know where the station is||

[errant vault]

How far are u into ||greenpath||

[still forge]

under the ||hornet fight||

[quiet mantle]

Does anyone here have the code for the first version of Silksong?

[atomic ledge]

||I killed the vengefly and now i'm pre hornet||

thank you for all the help!!! ^_^

[errant vault]

||How do I deal with soul twisters colo 3? The keep moving away and teleporting it's annoying ||

[shut sparrow]

||using spells is going to help||

especially with ||shaman stone||

[errant vault]

But I cant get soul

Bc they keep tp

[shut sparrow]

you should have soul before then

[gusty cove]

what i did was just kill them before they get a chance to but i dont remember what i did

[errant vault]

But I dont

Bc of the section beforehand

[shut sparrow]

||use charms that help with soul||

||also use nailarts||

[errant vault]

I do

[gusty cove]

THIS.

[errant vault]

My problem is just reaching them

[shut sparrow]

||spells have a lot of range||

[gusty cove]

||dash slash|| is rlly useful for that

if you have no ||soul|| that is

[errant vault]

They tp whenever im close

[gusty cove]

gotta do it quick i suppose

[modest sparrow]

i found ||pogoing them|| very useful

and ||spells||

[errant vault]

||How many pure nails do they take with strength||

[modest sparrow]

i think 3

[gusty cove]

yeah its 3

[modest sparrow]

i think the electro ones only two or also three im not sure

[gusty cove]

so its like. ||1–2 nail arts|| should work on them

[gusty cove]

p sure they have more health but not by much, yeah.

[shut sparrow]

||do twisters have more hp in colo?||

[gusty cove]

idk lol

[golden flower]

||soul twisters|| have 35, no? itd be 2 hits or 1 ||nart|| unless wiki has incorrect value for ||colo||

[gusty cove]

oh yeah, i guess they do.

[modest sparrow]

isnt it 2 hits with ||pure nail and strength || then?

[novel echo]

Guys what do I do if a girl has left me on read for 30mins

[modest sparrow]

bc it does like 31 dmg

[novel echo]

31 now

[gusty cove]

a few questions

[novel echo]

Yes it's essential to hk

[gusty cove]

1. whatd you say
2. why are you asking us
3. do you like her??

[novel echo]

1. I think I talked too much and overstated my viewpoint
2. We were talking about HK
   E. Yes

[gusty cove]

i see

[novel echo]

E

[gusty cove]

id say this is a topic to bring to #hk-discussion

so

[shut sparrow]

||volt twisters have 80 hp meaning 3/4 nails hits with/without strength or 2 nailarts.
soul twisters have 35 hp meaning 2 nailhits with and without strength or 1 nailart||

[novel echo]

Hm

[gusty cove]

but i doubt youll get much help there either; we're hk players. we dont get girls.

[gusty cove]

"their" 😭

[novel echo]

Yeah, I think I just found out why

[gusty cove]

whys that?

[paper ridge]

what the best way to get ||essence|| for someone with a skill issue?

[novel echo]

I mean I didn't get her BC I play hk

[shut sparrow]

||bosses||

[novel echo]

Yeah, what they said

[paper ridge]

k

[gusty cove]

fair

[shut sparrow]

||if you are struggling, just do them later||

[hard minnow]

If it's a really big skill issue, farm birds

[paper ridge]

alr

[ancient gull]

How to master pogoing

[modest sparrow]

do it against like every enemy

do it all the time

[ancient gull]

K

[modest sparrow]

train it idk

[gusty cove]

just takes practice. theres no real trick to it, just jump, press down, and slash.

so basically what he said

[hard minnow]

On my first playthrought I learned it in ||deepnest, inside the vessel room||

[errant vault]

Just play

I used to suck at it but farther into the game it became more natural

You dont need practice or to force it

[ancient gull]

K

[errant vault]

But dont completely avoid it

[atomic ledge]

Do i need to be a certain height above the enemy? Because i noticed sometimes when im higher it refuses to work

Either that or i just suck

[red cairn]

yea, idk how far but close enough for your swing hitbox

[shut sparrow]

||the only thing that matters is that your attack hits the enemy and you don't||

as long as that's given and the hit connects you should get the height

[trim gate]

Anyone got charms for ||radiant marmu||?

[atomic ledge]

||how many grubs do i need to free for a reward? Is it 5 each?||

[lost pelican]

||Grubberfly+quick slash + unbreakable stre+steady body||

[golden flower]

not 5 each, there isnt a pattern
there is at least ||geo|| with every single ||grub||

[trim gate]

Thanks man

[hoary vigil]

There's no pattern. Just keep ||saving grubs. There are 46 total.||

[lost pelican]

Np

[hoary vigil]

||Mark of pride, make sure that you do a small jump before hitting Marmu and make sure that you hit her to the sides not up||.

[trim gate]

Thanks guys I'll try both👅

[red cairn]

why the tongue?

[hoary vigil]

Oh yeah and ||Steady Body|| obviously

[trim gate]

I didn't have heart in my recents

[stuck plaza]

||nailsage sly help please ||

[golden flower]

||

• 3 swings: walk away, use a wall if not enough room

• downslash: stay just out of range to bait the second hit

• great slash: dash out then in

• dash slash: jump over

• cyclone: pogo (not very safe imo) or ddark or run away (usually involves using a wall for distance)

• sly's timings allow a nail art to be used after every single attack (except cyclone [but i go for it anyway]), great slash after everything except his great slash, which gets a dash slash

• if nail arts arent an option 1-3 (3 is risky) hits with qs/sbody/mop works

• for phase two: walk away from his side of the arena, great slash after every spin

• he can rebound 2-5 times, count them to know when a spin is guaranteed

  • dashing is only necessary if hes directly on top, walking should work fine

• the only real healing window is during a stagger, its not worth trying otherwise
  ||

[cosmic heath]

||what the best route for under 5 hours completion||

[stuck plaza]

Thank you very much for this information

[oblique mauve]

can anybody explain how am i supposed to defeat ||absolute radiance|| when theres way too much attacks at once i feel like im missing something hour of practice and no progress at all

[desert stream]

just practice a bunch and use a lot of ||spells||

[golden flower]

attacks generally only overlap if theyre dealt with too late (eg. ||light wall will overlap with another attack when it reaches the halfway point of the arena||)

[cosmic heath]

Darn

[sharp nymph]

Kinda just skip ||monarch wings|| and only get ||upgrades|| if theyre in the way. Get to ||lurien|| with a background pogo.

You can also skip ||ismas tear|| with ||c dash|| but its really hard

And ||shade cloak||

U can skip ||shade cloak too||

[oblique mauve]

What am i exactly supposed to do in the second phase

[ebon copper]

i have like a wall of text i wrote as a guide to that boss if you are interested

[oblique mauve]

sure

[ebon copper]

||#hk-help message||

[atomic ledge]

Bro i just ||found some parkour section in greenpath|| wth is this ??

i cant even do it

😭

[ebon copper]

depending on your progression in the game so far there can be parkours in ||greenpath|| that you are not supposed to be able to do

[atomic ledge]

I just ||killed hornet||

[ebon copper]

send pic of the parkour

[atomic ledge]

A

[golden flower]

yeah thats for later

[atomic ledge]

Forgot

This thing

[ebon copper]

this is indeed for later as teqnok said

oh ok

js wondering cus i didnt wanna miss out on anything

once a loot goblin always a loot goblin

[errant vault]

Just come back when ur stronger ✌️

[small narwhal]

how do i get to ||path of pain in white palaceee|| this place is so confusing

no I love pings

read my bio imo

[true latch]

Tips on||brokn vessel ||

[ebon copper]

sure

[ebon copper]

try to stay grounded for when he isnt in the animation of an attack already

[shut sparrow]

||don't jump or dash around unnecessarily. Only to dodge attacks. That means try to stay on the ground as much as possible.
Use a lot of spells and play fairly aggressively (while of course still staying safe) since broken vessel staggers easily. If you want charm advice you can send an image of your inventory.
Also note that you might just be there too early. You can always explore elsewhere and come back later||

[true latch]

Ok thx

[shut sparrow]

gl

[marsh shard]

||pure vessal is hell||

Im gonna be here awhile I just feel it

[true latch]

He is dead

(^q^)

[ebon copper]

it really just depends on how you try to fight him, i would advise against using ||shade dash|| if possible

[marsh shard]

Im gonna be here awhile I just feel it

[marsh shard]

Hmm why

[ebon copper]

||#hk-help message, #hk-help message|| i have these vids

ah right, i have a written guide too, ||#hk-help message||

[true latch]

Why can't I ||dreamnail||

[ebon copper]

grab this1 too

[ebon copper]

you need to have more|| dream essence||

[true latch]

Ohhh thx

[marsh shard]

Hmm why

[earnest belfry]

And talk to the ||seer||

[ebon copper]

cause you need it for the ||dagger attack||

and in general using it for his ||dash|| attacks is wasteful, nd builds bad habits

btw my guide is old, but its decent, i do recommend checking it if you havent

[errant vault]

So many people here make yt videos damn

[ebon copper]

the guide im referring to is written, but ye

[errant vault]

Oh

[ebon copper]

very many of the hk help usuals have their own vids for bosses and locations

honestly i should make a very extensive google docks file with written guides and vids compiled all into one place for all of ||hog||

[marsh shard]

I just don't know how to dodge him it's like I'm fighting a wall rn

[trail oriole]

is there any consistent way to do ||radiant zote||

[hardy kindle]

I just watch [location] explained with insults

Because why not

It's a good tutorial

[trail oriole]

thats the problem here

I did

he just keeps doing specific scenarios where he hits me

[hardy kindle]

I die even know had a ||radiant|| version

[trail oriole]

like he staggered backwards midair onto me multiple times

[trail oriole]

everyone does

unless you mean the normal version

[hardy kindle]

I know you can fight him didn't think he'd have a 🌞 version

[trail oriole]

well he does

he feels like the devs didnt even know he was going to

[hardy kindle]

How do I fight him

[trail oriole]

are you talking about ||GPZ|| or normal ||zote||

[hardy kindle]

Isn't there one where each time you fight him he gets another prefix?

and you get a new title screen

[trail oriole]

The other fight yes

||gpz||

[hardy kindle]

How do I unlock that one?

[marsh shard]

||I only beat gpz 3 times||

||not counting the pantheon||

[hardy kindle]

What movement abilities do I need to get the ||dream nail||

[errant vault]

Uh

You need to get there first so

Depending on which way u take

Can u show ur inventory

[marsh shard]

||beat him colosseum then go back to dirt mouth he should be talking to the bug girl sorry forgot her name go in the house to very right of town go in it they're should be something for you to go there in there you should find the fight||

[errant vault]

||bretta||

[marsh shard]

Oh ty

[atomic ledge]

||why is my nail so rusty yo ✌🏻😭 is it upgradable||

[golden flower]

yeah

[hardy kindle]

Oooh I was in some area with corpses falling from above, would that be the arena?

[atomic ledge]

I'm hoping thats somewhere early game

[marsh shard]

How far are you in the game

[errant vault]

||kingdoms edge||?

[hardy kindle]

I have||dash, Manti claw, ddive, no lantern and I'm in crystal peaks getting cdash|| can't show inventory RN

[errant vault]

A bit before mid game

[errant vault]

Ok so theres a way to the ||dream nail through cpeaks if u dive||

The other way u need ||cdash||

[hardy kindle]

Okie thanks

[hardy kindle]

I plan on getting that first

Because ||deepest needs it in some areas||

[hardy kindle]

Yes

Also is there a second ||tram|| that's not at the bottom of the map

[golden flower]

yeah

[molten rain]

||connects resting grounds and crossroads but i don’t remember if you can access resting grounds from crossroads ||

[errant vault]

They dont have more than one in any area

[molten rain]

where??

[hardy kindle]

Spike pit by a bench

Might be actually be||ancient basin||

[molten rain]

That’s ||ancient basin|| yeah

[hardy kindle]

I meant is there a second separate line, know about the one from||deepest to kingdoms edge||

[molten rain]

There’s one ||from crossroads to resting grounds||

[hardy kindle]

Thanks

[errant vault]

Theres 2 more

Wait

[hardy kindle]

Do they use the same ticket?

[errant vault]

Maybe more

[molten rain]

Yes

[errant vault]

Ye

[hardy kindle]

Hell yeah

I'm sorry mr

[errant vault]

Theres another area it connects to

Its the middle

[errant vault]

Also thats a seperate tramline

It doesnt connect with stuff like ||kingdoms edge||

Those R the only 2 lines tho

[hardy kindle]

I just want to explore as many areas as possible LoL

So the easier to get there the better

Looks like the spoiler bot also protects against Mr Beast gambling scam LoL

[errant vault]

You'll find 2 areas I assume u haven't explored via ||tram||

One of them isnt directly by ||tram||

But its pretty close to one of its stops

[hardy kindle]

I'll explore them tomorrow after||cdash||

Thanks

[errant vault]

Ye

[errant vault]

Just do it quicker

[hollow fable]

[golden flower]

going by

||DONT HIT HIM FIRST, wait for him to attack on his own, then slash then dash, repeat||
you did what was said

[burnt scroll]

like hit at the shell then hit again then ||dash||?

thats not possible i tried it

[hollow fable]

even if i ||dash||

[errant vault]

Are u hitting it once or letting it wind it up

[hollow fable]

hitting like the b guy said

[burnt scroll]

dont

wait for it to attack on its own

[opaque moat]

b guy eh

[burnt scroll]

attack when it winds up

[opaque moat]

[errant vault]

I remember hitting him first?

It always worked out

[burnt scroll]

no, let he wind up first

[hollow fable]

im not gonna write your entire name lol

[burnt scroll]

b(2.718281828459045235)lo | بيل

[opaque moat]

[errant vault]

bilal456

Work smarter

[burnt scroll]

copy and paste still requires the same work

anyways

anyone know how to be consistent at ||ascended obobbles||

absolute hell

took like 20 tries

[opaque moat]

@hollow fable

[burnt scroll]

bro, you said to HIT IT ONCE IN THE SHELL, then HIT IT ONE MORE, then ||DASH||

thats why i said not enough time

do you even understand?

[opaque moat]

no i didn't

i said hit ONCE IT OPENS

the other once refers to the number of hits

[burnt scroll]

ok

[opaque moat]

ok

[west slate]

hey how do i get the ||2400 essence||? do i need to beat all the ||dream bosses and get all the roots||?

[fringe mortar]

Yep you do

[west slate]

everything?😫

[fringe mortar]

Did you get ||white defender ||

[fringe mortar]

Yes😭😭

[west slate]

i did not... i have ||1900|| rn tho

[stoic cedar]

||whispering roots are not required at all for 2400 essence but dream bosses definitely are||

[fringe mortar]

Why are you struggling? Any attacks specifically?

Also, what other ||dream bosses or warriors|| do you got left

[west slate]

not really i just don't have the patience

[fringe mortar]

Hes probably the easiest one so just smack him

[tawdry pulsar]

Yo who’s the oldest active help member

[west slate]

i think just ||soul tyrant||

[fringe mortar]

Idk for sure but probably @primal ibex

Atleast the most experienced

[tawdry pulsar]

Okay just wondering

[fringe mortar]

Oh ||tyrant|| can be a problem but again be patient lol

[tawdry pulsar]

Oh boy not even a year old

[west slate]

how much ||essence|| does ||tyrant|| give me?

[tight cairn]

300 I think

[tawdry pulsar]

||300||

[west slate]

ok ty

any ideas for a build for ||tyrant||?

[tight cairn]

I like using ||sharp shadow|| but idk

[west slate]

k ty

[fringe mortar]

Why tho

Ive never heard anyone using that for him

[tight cairn]

||dash through the attack where he is covered in soul orbs||

[royal hull]

||show charms||

[royal hull]

being usable for one attack for a ||Nail's worth of damage is eh||

[tight cairn]

Yeah ig

[fringe mortar]

This

Theres better charms for him

[west slate]

oh sorry just saw ur msg i have all the charms

[royal hull]

||all nothces?||

[royal hull]

||quick slash + strength + mop + hearts or grubsong + steady body or long nail||

[west slate]

ok ty

[wispy pawn]

Hello guys do I need to defeat ||absolute radiance|| to get the ||keen hunter achievement ||

[vague fern]

[wispy pawn]

What am I missing?

[vague fern]

she doesnt even have || a unique entry. she shares it with base radiance ||

[wispy pawn]

I have everyone

Weird I defeated ||nightmare king Grimm ||and i still haven’t gotten it

[vague fern]

you'd either have to check the save file or just compare with the wiki

[vague fern]

he doesnt contribute to it

no 'dlc' || entries|| do

[wispy pawn]

What? My friend told me he counts 😭

Then who the fuck did I miss

[wispy pawn]

I don’t have ||menderbug|| does it count to the ||keen hunter achievement ||

[vague fern]

nah

[wispy pawn]

This is so weird

[vague fern]

if ur pc just use a save file analyzer

[wispy pawn]

I’m on PlayStation

[vague fern]

||commonly missed journal entries:

• Aluba
• Charged Lumafly
• Gorgeous Husk
• Crystal Crawler
• Garpede

• Durandoo

otherwise you'll just have to compare 1 by 1 with the wiki

|| https://hollowknight.fandom.com/wiki/Hunter's_Journal ||

[wispy pawn]

I have everyone here

[vague fern]

just gonna have to check with the wiki

it could be anything

[wispy pawn]

I did that too 😭

I got everyone but I don’t have the achievement

I Will try to see it when I come back home

[austere shell]

Hey guys i beat ||lace|| and now where do i go

[vague fern]

#sk-help

[primal ibex]

H

[vague fern]

I wonder if they meant oldest as in age or time in this channel

[fringe mortar]

i mean he did specifically ask for active oldest so i think time in the channel?

[vague fern]

yeah it probably is that

[neat karma]

Fordo revival on 2026 is crazy

[neat karma]

Yeah otherwise itd be zal

Hes only 94 years young ❤️‍🩹

[vague fern]

middle of his prime

[jade sedge]

No way its frodo

[acoustic sigil]

#1057825333841240104

[sick wadi]

im not a day in this discord server i cant post there

[neat karma]

Yhommie sighting chat should we capture him once and for all

[acoustic sigil]

I'm fairly certain you can post there any time

[neat karma]

Maybe you simply didnt add a tag

[acoustic sigil]

Then who will update the spoiler list

[sick wadi]

it says need to wait 1 day in this server

to post

[neat karma]

Eitherway if you really cant make a post there, #modding-discussion would be the second best place

[sick wadi]

i can send a picture but it is in german

[neat karma]

Idk simo

Anyway you need to open the game

Close it afterwards of course

[acoustic sigil]

Open a save even

[sick wadi]

i cant send pictures in there lmao

[neat karma]

Bhommie did they remove the exception

[acoustic sigil]

The only exceptions are the help channels, including modding-help (and #hk-art-gallery for some reason)

[sick wadi]

and this one?

[neat karma]

No but disc had it

[sick wadi]

hk-help

[acoustic sigil]

Is this a help channel?

[neat karma]

Dont you remember jhommie

[sick wadi]

says so

hk-help

[acoustic sigil]

I know, but having so many exceptions kinda removed the goal of preventing the scam from being posted

[neat karma]

So they did

Thanks dhommie

[acoustic sigil]

I dont know why they allowed #hk-art-gallery, now they still need to ban the hacked account

Otherwise the entire issue was resolved

[pliant socket]

yo guys

im new to the game

any tips before i die like millions of times

[fringe mortar]

tips for what tho

where are you at

[tranquil oyster]

unfortunately i dont think there are many tips for the entire game in general, you just have to get good and learn the dodges :/

[pliant socket]

anything in general

[pliant socket]

oh

[fringe mortar]

explore a lot. theres just a lot of stuff you miss early game

[pliant socket]

like so i should explore what i find?

[fringe mortar]

dont rush it

[pliant socket]

alright ill try

thanks i'll return if i need help

[fringe mortar]

good luck and have fun

dont ragequit lol

[tranquil oyster]

[fringe mortar]

Niceee

Look out for ||that blue armoured thingy again||

Should I spoiler that

[wise imp]

dw about it im in the ||white palace|| now idrk know where to go, ill search the wiki a bit (ive found a platforming section tho)

[lost jackal]

I'm at 111%, any idea what the last 1% is?

[obsidian spoke]

Do the platforming

[obsidian spoke]

||pantheon 4||?

[lost jackal]

Did that already

[obsidian spoke]

colos?

[lost jackal]

Does ||POH|| count for 112?

Did those too

[hard minnow]

Wgat

[lost jackal]

Not sure what I'm missing, do I need to bring ||The delicate flower to godseeker?||

[hard minnow]

Got ||9 masks, 3 vessels and 2400essence||?

[hard minnow]

No

[lost jackal]

Did that too

Even got ||Mister Mushroom||

[hard minnow]

Did you ||beat all dreamers||?

[lost jackal]

Yes

[hard minnow]

Got ||all dark spells|||?

[lost jackal]

Yes got those too

I haven't beaten ||P5|| yet

[hard minnow]

||https://hollowknight.wiki/w/Completion_(Hollow_Knight)||

[lost jackal]

I stg if it's something dumb that I missed I'm gonna be so upset

[wise imp]

yeah gng ||path of pain|| is actually hell, im not coming back to it anytime soon. am i ready to go to silksong now?

[obsidian spoke]

you got 112%?

[primal ibex]

What’s your completion

[frank dawn]

i liked ||path of pain|| it was hard and took me 10 hours but it was still fun

[tranquil oyster]

how much ||essence|| do you have

[sonic ember]

I HATE ||THE COLLECTOR||

It always end my run in ||p3||

[lost jackal]

2427

I found out what I was missing

It was ||Gorb||

[tranquil oyster]

so you're at 112 now?

[lost jackal]

Yup I got it

[tranquil oyster]

nice ggs

wait

[lost jackal]

Now I just need to go beat the final boss to get the achievement

[tranquil oyster]

how did you do ||p1 without killing gorb?||

[lost jackal]

I did that on a separate file I think, I had to start a new game because my files got corrupted

[sonic ember]

Guys why can i enter ||p3|| if i didnt beat ||god tamer||

[tranquil oyster]

your current file needs to be at 112 though

[lost jackal]

Guess I gotta do all that again then

Well at least I have the checklist

I'll be doing this for a while

[tranquil oyster]

rip

gl

[polar flicker]

||That boss is auto unlocked for p3||

[sonic ember]

Yo thats nice

[lost jackal]

Just checked, this file is at 98, time to go down the list

Doing the ||pantheons|| again is gonna be so much fun

[bold tapir]

I need some help on hk

[swift cypress]

would you guys say ||markoth|| or ||galien|| is an easier fight :')

[twilit veldt]

||galien|| is just upslash

And ||shriek||

[vivid lynx]

||galien ofc||

[swift cypress]

ty !

[violet jacinth]

whats the diffrence between ||attunded ascended and radiant?||

[vague fern]

|| attuned is the base boss in godhome (typically more hp than in overworld), and is the boss you see in pantheons

Ascended is double damage, and for all bosses but 4 is extra hp, and for some bosses will change the arena (ex remove the floor and add spikes there)

Radiant is always ascended but you will get 1 shot ||

[violet jacinth]

mm

what are the 4 exempt?

[vague fern]

|| grey prince zote, brooding mawlek, white defender, and absolute radiance ||

every other boss gains hp

[violet jacinth]

😭

how did the 2nd one sneak in there

[vague fern]

Lmao true

|| mawlek also has different hp in attuned and p5.. the only boss that does that (kinda) ||

Very weird boss

[violet jacinth]

and the first one I feel like makes the least sense cuz doesnt he already do like way increased damage? maybe not in the dlc

[vague fern]

nah he does normal

in the higher || statue levels he does increased damage ||

[violet jacinth]

wait does his thingy also change in ||godhome||?

[vague fern]

Wdym

[violet jacinth]

statue

and dmg cuz of that

[vague fern]

Nah its completely independant

Nothing to do with that statue in || godhome ||

[violet jacinth]

he might be the only boss to be easier in the dlc then😭

for the most part at least

[violet jacinth]

why is ||white defender|| boosted?

[vague fern]

I dont know why any of them are

alot of things just simply are

[violet jacinth]

hes always seemed irrelevant to me so its funky that he is a special case

okay well fair enough, I was wondering mainly if ||pure vessel gets affected by the hp increase since he is the only thing causing me trouble in the 4th pantheon so I m practicing him now||

[vague fern]

He goes from || 1600 -> 1850 ||

In || ascended / radiant ||

[violet jacinth]

huh

thought it doubles

well thats lame

barely even a diffrence

why even change it at that point

[vague fern]

Some change more than others

Stuff like || watcher knights or slys second phase || are very noticeable

[violet jacinth]

well both of those were extremly easy so maybe they are actually somewhat of a challange,

if the movesets dont change then I doubt its gonna make much of a diffrence

||maybe for watcherknights if anything||

also is there a way to disable the freaking intro animations for any of the bosses? feels like such a timewaste

I literally stop caring just about the first time I see it

[vague fern]

Only with mods

[violet jacinth]

oh whats the mod then

[vague fern]

QoL has it for some bosses || namely absrad which is so long and also like pv ||

[lyric shadow]

|| where do i go to get c dash ||
i dont remember it being so complicated

[fickle cradle]

where do i go after i beat IIhornetII

[lyric shadow]

go explore in || forgotten crossroads ||
you will be able to go new places

[fickle cradle]

ok

[stone tree]

go up a little, there should be a way

[terse dawn]

||in p5, should i chase down the dream bosses or should i just sit on one platform and wait till they come to me?||

[vague fern]

Depends on which ones

some you wait, some you chase

Waiting is the better option if you are unsure though

[polar flicker]

|| which dream bosses even have platforms ||

|| unless u mean dream warriors ||

[terse dawn]

yea i mean them

i always get them mixed up

[hard minnow]

ENDGAME SPOILER: should I ||overcharm for ascended abs rad?||

[polar flicker]

|| unless ur practicing for radiant no ||

[hard minnow]

And if I am?

[vague fern]

then just do || radiant ||

I think practising like that is pointless

[hard minnow]

I didn't unlock it yet

[vague fern]

Thats not what he meant by practising then

Dont || overcharm ||

[hard minnow]

||but I want to do radiant right after and it could be good practice||

The true problem i think is that ||soul eater is too useful in this fight||

[vague fern]

If you are just trying to beat || ascended || then dont

Its much harder

[hard minnow]

I want ||radhog|| so I need to beat ||asc first||

[wise imp]

nope but im not doing all of the end game stuff (+ ive lost my 40 hour save file, and lost the second try of the save file where i used one from speedrunning.com)

[wise imp]

was 100 and something percent + did a bit of|| path of pain|| (never again, maybe in a whilte later)

[still forge]

i need help

[golden flower]

||||

[still forge]

||watcher knights||

iv tried everything

including using minons

[still forge]

||steady body|| ass tho

?

o i know 1

[deep edge]

what does this meme mean

[still forge]

bru just

[acoustic sigil]

@still forge Not the channel

[golden flower]

not really outside of the obvious 'target one'

[still forge]

i get em mixed up sometimes lol

[still forge]

wdym

[acoustic sigil]

This is not the channel for sending memes

And if you spin it into being advice, saying git gud is also not for this channel

[plush jolt]

Do you have||DDark?||

[still forge]

yh

i have everything

and upgraded

[plush jolt]

Then just spam it, i beat ||watcher knights|| first try just spamming.

[still forge]

lol

i only have 1 ||sc|| tho

||soul canester||

sc

[plush jolt]

Use ||soul Twister+soul catcher+shaman stone||

You have||7 NOTCHES|| RIGHT?

[still forge]

yh

[plush jolt]

||spell twister*||

Maybe even ||soul eater|| could work.

[still forge]

then i had to go ||overcharm|| cusa ||markof pride and shaman||

[plush jolt]

Just go full||spell build||, they're invincible to attacks most of the time anyways.

[still forge]

ig thx

[plush jolt]

(:

[still forge]

also by ||spell eater|| do u mean ||spell catcher||?

[plush jolt]

||soul eater||

[still forge]

or ||spell catcher|| evan

omg ||soul catcher||

[plush jolt]

I meant ||you could use soul catcher+ spell twister+ shaman, or soul eater+ shaman||

[still forge]

dis 1

[plush jolt]

There's another charm called, ||soul eater||

[still forge]

how u get iy?

[plush jolt]

It's||4 notches||

[still forge]

it

[plush jolt]

I'm sure it's in the place where you wake up after getting the||dreamnail||

[still forge]

o

[plush jolt]

Just search it's location online.

[still forge]

ill search it up

is it worth it tho cus i can put on the other 2 without it

[plush jolt]

I mean, you could try it, but the other one works just fine

[still forge]

ok thx

[plush jolt]

Also, kill one of the knights beforehand, so you only have to fight 5 of them.

[foggy jolt]

How do you get the ||Hollow Knight journal entry||? I didn't get it after beating the game

[hard minnow]

||does strenght boost elegy?||

[foggy jolt]

[still forge]

i also dn them before i start fight
