[elder quartz]

Just the boss on ||radiant|| in general, like I beat them on ||attuned and ascended|| but for some reason ||radiant|| is giving me trouble

[shut sparrow]

||I mean of course, it's the hardest boss hitless so it's normal to struggle.
But can you maybe specify which attacks you are most getting hit by? If you don't know for sure rn, make some attempts, really focus and remember what you died to||

[tranquil oyster]

lol it's made to be flashy so it looks difficult but it's a lot easier than it looks

[elder quartz]

||Mostly the light balls in the second phase or the final climb, I know the trick of going above the screen, but sometimes absrad teleports too far and I fall into the void or get hit by the light balls||

[shut sparrow]

||I have a lot more experience with absrad tho than with anything else so I kind of suck. Maybe it'll be harder for me||

[shut sparrow]

||don't do the pogo thing in final||

[tranquil oyster]

though i will say, somehow ||id say radiant nail only minimal telegraphs about anyrad diff if not slightly harder
that 3 times in a row is harder than rad anyrad though lmao||

[quaint parcel]

WHAT DO YOU MEAN IM MISSING ONE THIS IS OUTRAGOUS

[tranquil oyster]

it won't, binf was my first modded boss lol and you have much more experience than I did back then

[shut sparrow]

oh man

[elder quartz]

Are you using ||lifeblood heart||?

[quaint parcel]

Yes

[elder quartz]

Huh

[quaint parcel]

And ||jonis blessing||

[tranquil oyster]

I wouldn't recommend ||attuned minimal telegraphs until after radiant|| normal if that counts for anything

[crude cliff]

||whats your max hp charmless||?

Just normal hp

[quaint parcel]

8

Masks

[elder quartz]

You aren't using ||unbreakable/fragile heart||

[crude cliff]

You have 3 options
||1. Use fragile heart
2. Get another base hp
3. Collect lifeblood around the world||

[tranquil oyster]

what

you gotta be joking right

[shut sparrow]

||in general for plats you want to stay on the top or bottom middle platforms. Don't chase radiance around the whole arena, only attack if she is close. If radiance is on your platform, use dive to dodge incoming attacks if she is about to do one (glowing eyes/raising wings are indicators).
For orbs specifically you don't want to move around too much. Just stay on one platform mostly and do tiny jumps or movements to dodge them and lead them into platforms. So dashing is generally not recommended to dodge it.

I'm gonna send a video for climb and final||

[tranquil oyster]

||adding onto this, if you're camping top centre you can drop to bottom centre if you're not confident against orbs. ddarking orbs is also an option if you feel there's too many on screen for you to manage||

[quaint parcel]

1 its broken and i jeed 9k to give to thar bitch ass ||grimm troup|| thing who ate my ||charm||
2 if i take damage im absolutely fucked
3 the only ||mask|| i can get is from the ||flower quest|| thing and id rather die then do it

[shut sparrow]

||https://youtu.be/OuGLx5B08E4

https://youtu.be/NuF9iIqP8wo?si=wtu9f2yzVelTse23

for the final strat you can of course also pogo, but don't try to go off screen to unload the orbs or move to other plats. Mainly do it like shown in the video||

[quaint parcel]

THATS NOT A SPOILER YOU PIECE OF SHIT

[crude cliff]

As I said last time
||flower quest is overdramatised||

[quaint parcel]

Yes

[crude cliff]

You need it for max completion anyways if you want that

[quaint parcel]

Ans id rsther do ||pathnof pain traitor lord and the pantheons ||

[crude cliff]

How about both

[shut sparrow]

dw I wasn't planning to..

[crude cliff]

Well but that are your 3 options

[quaint parcel]

I care not if i wont get 112% i am not putting myself through that nightmare

[tranquil oyster]

lol

[crude cliff]

I cant add more to that

[quaint parcel]

I gain nothing usefull from it apart by a stupid ending

Ajd like 1%

[tranquil oyster]

why are we spreading final misinformation

[crude cliff]

||p4 is way way way way way harder as the flower||

[quaint parcel]

And 1 ||mask shard|| wow how usefull

[elder quartz]

It isn't as bad as ||the path of pain||

[crude cliff]

Thats from another ||flower quest||

[quaint parcel]

Yeah idl

Idk

[shut sparrow]

wtf no misinformation

[crude cliff]

I would say ||p1|| is significantly harder as the ||flower||

[tranquil oyster]

pogo strat is peak

[crude cliff]

Have you tried the ||flower||?
Because I really do think what other people say is just making it seem way harder as it is

[shut sparrow]

it's far too complicated for a player struggling

it's literally the hardest strat there is

[quaint parcel]

No

Is this bullshit openable

And i dont want to

[crude cliff]

Depends
I use a build with range charms
Which makes it very viable

[tranquil oyster]

it's literally ||pogo pogo double jump dash||

[shut sparrow]

well ||range charms just suck||

[crude cliff]

Atleast try it
You are putting yourself through unnecessary scaredness

[shut sparrow]

no it isn't

[tranquil oyster]

obviously it gets more complicated but that's more than enough for ||absrad||

[quaint parcel]

Im good at pogoing i use it to much

[quaint parcel]

Yeah ok

Later

[elder quartz]

FUCK YOU, SPOILER BOT

[quaint parcel]

By later i mean just before i do the||pantheons||

[crude cliff]

You must do something and the background hints what it could be

[quaint parcel]

Valid crash out he sucks

[crude cliff]

||and before the lifeblood door ig||

[quaint parcel]

No

[crude cliff]

How will you do that then?

[quaint parcel]

Im getting all the charms now whetver the game likes it or not

[tranquil oyster]

also ||imo greys dash slash strat, usage of spells (due to stall), and facedancing are all harder||

[crude cliff]

You need farming tips?

[quaint parcel]

I will travel across the stupid kingdom studily collecting stupid blue shit so i can studidly get a stupid charm

[tranquil oyster]

pogo prob one of the easiest

[quaint parcel]

What

This aint stardew valley

[elder quartz]

To farm for ||geo, you can do the coliseum of fools||

[quaint parcel]

Ik

[shut sparrow]

||you need to pogo on maximum height trying to stay off screen, still move to dodge orbs occasionally and hope an orb doesn't fly towards you while you are at the lowest point. Then when in the center you need to use wings for the duration of which you are usually vulnerable and then quickly decide where to dash. All that is also not the case when you are on the sides. It's literally far too complicated and the average radhog player will pogo on radiance's face and dash to the next spot praying not to get hit||

[crude cliff]

||if you want all charms you need heart back anyways so 12k etc||

[quaint parcel]

What

[crude cliff]

||howling wraiths||

[tranquil oyster]

||what do you recommend then? pogo strat means theres only 1 orb on screen at all times, and it's not like you don't have to dodge orbs with any other strat||

[shut sparrow]

||of course facedancing is harder but I wouldn't count that as a real strat since there is no reason to do it||

[quaint parcel]

Dang that was a waste of time i already have it

[shut sparrow]

the one I sent?

[crude cliff]

No you need to use that there

[shut sparrow]

||dashslash works too|| but I've personally never used it so I don't recommend it to people

[quaint parcel]

Og yeah

Cool

[tranquil oyster]

agh I guess it works

but at the same time

for ||absrad pogo strat all you need to know is do 2 pogos double jump then dash, if you're able to get to the boss without a double jump/dash go for 3rd pogo||

[shut sparrow]

no it's more complex

[tranquil oyster]

||we are not going into counting hits and spell stalls||

anything more than that is not needed for ||absrad||

[shut sparrow]

yeah that just makes it even worse

[tranquil oyster]

this is enough to do ||absrad||

[shut sparrow]

||have you ever seen a player doing P5 or like radabsrad do the strat and not just pogo far too low or dash when they should have used wings etc?||

I personally have never

[shut sparrow]

but it's not consistent

[tranquil oyster]

||there is no need to count hits or spell stall or pogo as high as you can||

[simple island]

Are we talking about ||absrad final phase|| ?

[tranquil oyster]

ja

discussing whether pogo strat is viable for new player

[shut sparrow]

||if you want to prevent getting hit because you got unlucky and losing a radabsrad or P5 run like that with a strat you literally got recommend in the help channel, yes||

[tranquil oyster]

also its not like I've not seen players use your strategy and get hit anyways

[simple island]

Personally I despise the pogo strat
Whenever I try to do it I feel like ||rad just teleports faster than I can catch her and I die

I think it’s much more intuitive to tell people to just jump + double jump over each orb to lead them to the celling to die

And eventually dash and wings back if the orbs spawns high on the same plat as you||

[shut sparrow]

I don't like recommending things that work 80% of the time. At least mention that it's not consistent and that there also is a consistent strat

[shut sparrow]

but then it's their bad, not rng

[tranquil oyster]

same with pogo?

[true latch]

I NEED|| RADIANCE ||TIPS

[crude cliff]

You can probably find inconsistenties in other strats too
Tho I do believe your strat is more consistent, it obviously doesnt make it free and in the moment that can be just as annoying if you lose
At that point its which strategy you practice more

[shut sparrow]

||not if you don't do shriek stalling, counting hits, pogoing high, using wings/dash right||

[tranquil oyster]

missing pogo/pogoing too low/jumping too late are not rng

[shut sparrow]

if you don't do all of those, there is a chance you just get unlucky

[tranquil oyster]

not really

[shut sparrow]

yes?

[tranquil oyster]

only rng is after 9 hits she tps

[true latch]

Pls

[golden flower]

||n||onsenf strat carries

[tranquil oyster]

and thats easy to avoid, by falling onto a plat and then whacking her

you get so much time to react

[shut sparrow]

what are you struggling with?

[shut sparrow]

||then why are you counting hits?||

[tranquil oyster]

so getting hit by orb with your strat is skill issue but getting hit by orb with pogo is bad rng?

[true latch]

Mostly the balls and spikes

[tranquil oyster]

youre not

[simple island]

A first thing is that you get ||healed after thk
So feel free to be real aggressive on thk and leave with as much soul as you can||

[shut sparrow]

also it's not easy to react for someone struggling with ||radabsrad||

[tranquil oyster]

if you don't then that's what you do

[true latch]

||Thk?||

[shut sparrow]

also the rest of this

[tranquil oyster]

I know

[simple island]

Secondly for charms you want to use ||shaman stone and quick slash ||
Though hum… do you have most upgrades or are you missing stuff still ?

[tranquil oyster]

I'm not taking that into consideration

[tranquil oyster]

like just this

[simple island]

||The hollow knight ||

[true latch]

I pretty much have everything

[foggy haven]

why can´t I join the hk1 voice chat?

[shut sparrow]

||yeah. If you want the pogo strat to not feel like that you would have to properly learn it which is far too much for a beginner imo||

[simple island]

Sorry you two but this isn’t really an appropriate channel to go in depth about strategy, especially when there are other people in chat looking for help

[simple island]

#rules-and-info

[tranquil oyster]

true but if they're expecting it and know it'll happen at some point its very reactable

[shut sparrow]

"at some point" 😭

[simple island]

Actually they don’t talk about it there lol
There’s a min amount of messages to get VC perms

[shut sparrow]

it happens like once every 5-10 attempts they aren't learning it. They are just hoping it doesn't happen on their good attempt

[true latch]

Il send my build

[foggy haven]

?

[simple island]

||Shriek is good
Use it
Don’t ever try to heal for more than one mask, but feel free to heal after each laser burst or sword burst, it’s pretty consistent||

[simple island]

Yeah sry they don’t mention it there for some reason

Actually they don’t talk about it there lol
There’s a min amount of messages to get VC perms

[shut sparrow]

same for the low pogoing. Usually it works. If they want it to be consistent they need to properly learn it. They aren't doing that tho since it's too hard and usually works when ur lucky. So you just need to get lucky on your good attempt

and I don't think that makes a good strat to recommend

[foggy haven]

ahhhhh so I just have to talk for a bit and it works?

[simple island]

Oh boy not ||thorns jeez, get rid of grubsong, thorn and dreamwielder and put quick slash or shaman stone instead||

[true latch]

Ok thx

[shut sparrow]

yeah, ideally both

[simple island]

Also you may want to take a step back and do a few attempts of purely dodging
That fight is a mess and you have no choice but learn it at some point

[tranquil oyster]

yeah but that's like really new player stuff, we can assume they know how to pogo since they've done ||white palace and prob pop||

[true latch]

Ima do another attempt

[balmy kraken]

What is this build ?

Why are u using trash ||charms||

[tranquil oyster]

I guess you're not wrong with this but i still think it's very reactable

[tranquil oyster]

there's 2 questionable charms but the rest arent terrible

[shut sparrow]

||not how to pogo, but how to constantly stay off screen while pogoing, knowing the right timing, pretty much playing blind. It's hard||

[true latch]

Idk i like the e||xtra soul w groubsong||

[tranquil oyster]

but I guess it depends on how much faith you have in the player

[simple island]

You can say that without being rude lol
And it has already been said lol

[balmy kraken]

I mean what is he doing ||hall of gods or something ||

[tranquil oyster]

yeah I guess

[shut sparrow]

||literally lost several anyrad runs like that. And I probably have 10x their playtime. And No, anyrad doesn't tp faster afaik||

[tranquil oyster]

I think pogo strat is def viable if someones willing to spend a few attempts figuring it out but if you want to clear on next attempt i guess yours is more consistent

[tranquil oyster]

yes but you should be counting now

you don't have the leeway of being able to fall on a plat

[balmy kraken]

Sry if it offended u but , it is what it is

[shut sparrow]

yeah but what I'm saying is if you're not counting it's hard to react. Even for someone with as many hours as me

[tranquil oyster]

its not reactable if you want to keep pogoing

[balmy kraken]

What are u attempting

[shut sparrow]

I guess that's true yeah. Forgot there was a plat

[tranquil oyster]

but it's very reactable if your plan is to fall onto a plat after tp

[shut sparrow]

anyways I never counted. What I mainly think is the issue is the pogo strat as a whole and the difficulty of it if you don't want to die because you get unlucky

[tranquil oyster]

it's mainly the tp at the end, everything else is just recovery after a mistake

[true latch]

||radiance||

[simple island]

Day 25 of ||nonsenf and enddeous talking about pogo strat in absrad :||

[tranquil oyster]

also optimisation but yea

[gusty cove]

dont use ||thorns|| for ||radiance||

could make you take more damage

[true latch]

Yeah I got rid of it

[gusty cove]

nice

[true latch]

I got ||qs|| instead

[gusty cove]

if u need a build i could give one

[true latch]

Yes pls

[gusty cove]

ok

[royal hull]

Why is ||glowing womb in absrad speed runs||

[tranquil oyster]

anw igtg lol
overall i def think @shut sparrow strat is good but pogo is also very viable if new player is willing to put in more time to learn it
ok bye o/

[shut sparrow]

bye

[gusty cove]

so what i would use is:

||strength, qs, MoP or shaman depending on whether you like nail or spells more, sbody and nailmasters glory if youre greedy for hits and like nail more but spell twister/soul catcher if you like spells more||

[true latch]

Tysm

[gusty cove]

i assumed it was for the bit

[shut sparrow]

||range charms for radiance are really quite useless||

[simple island]

I think I’ll argue rather strongly against ||mop for rad|| too
You don’t get much advantage by being further away from her

[gusty cove]

thats actually pretty fair

[balmy kraken]

|| nailmaster glory || 😭

[crude cliff]

Nonono

Depends on strategy atleast

[shut sparrow]

it really doesn't

[gusty cove]

?

[shut sparrow]

||unless you're arguing final pogo||

[polar flicker]

|| just beat rad pv and nkg
Nkg was way easier than i expected took me only like 4 or 5 tries to readjust ||

[gusty cove]

its not bad is it?

[golden flower]

not at all

[gusty cove]

gj!!!

[crude cliff]

But if I take 2 months with barely any progress, equip range charms and beat ||p5|| in a few days that says a lot

[polar flicker]

Hello bird, aze

[shut sparrow]

wtfff congrats

herb is the best player ever

[true latch]

Am I missing a|| charm slot||

[shut sparrow]

and yeah ||nkg|| really is so easy

[crude cliff]

Hi
Nice with the ||rads||

[polar flicker]

[shut sparrow]

no

[shut sparrow]

which are left?

[gusty cove]

do whatever ||one notch charms|| you like. also i take back ||mark of pride|| use whatever you prefer instead

[gusty cove]

yeah i thought so lol

[crude cliff]

I really never use ||mop|| but it got me through ||absrad||

[gusty cove]

just dont use ||thorns|| or like ||glowing womb|| or smth

[gusty cove]

i never use it no matter what lol

[shut sparrow]

||mop is decent, but not for absrad. The only place where it does any difference at all is on top center plat in plats where you don't have to jump and can just slash upwards... and that doesn't even increase DPS at all||

[crude cliff]

Same mostly except here

[balmy kraken]

Trying to use ||nail arts ||in ||radinace || fight

?

It's not recommended

[golden flower]

by who

[polar flicker]

|| sisters of battle, marmu ,vfk, false knight hornet 1, mantis lords, elder Hu, dung defender, troupe master, broken vessel , soul master and prob some other filler||
I'll prob be done this weekend unless || sob|| is way harder than expected

[gusty cove]

not by you lol

it is by me

||narts|| are rlly useful if you dont have enough ||soul|| for a ||spell||

[crude cliff]

||sob was kinda difficult for me, harder as I expected but not as bad conpared to some you have had||

[golden flower]

||narts|| are very usable in every single phase of that fight
i use ||cyclone at start for soul, great/dash slashes on every window on ground, a great slash to start plats, and a great slash to start final||

[balmy kraken]

😓 the fight is fast we can get more hits with|| needle attacks in most cases than by nail arts ||

[polar flicker]

|| how's rad abs rad going ||

[gusty cove]

its not that fast

[crude cliff]

Havent tried anymore

Still feels far away

[gusty cove]

also you say that like you have to stay completely still charging up ||narts||

[true latch]

Im using a suminer build😭 😭 😭

[golden flower]

if trying to play careful, no
having a ||nart ready during downtime (eg while shes far away during orbs) and starting nail spam with a great slash is a decent bit more damage
even if that were true, thats all the more reason to have nailmaster's glory on||

[crude cliff]

Dont

[true latch]

Idk im playing around with builds

[gusty cove]

DONT.

[polar flicker]

U shd start again imo
This is why I did her first id have no mood to suffer so much being so close.

[gusty cove]

NOBONOONNONOOONO NEVER USE THOSE UNLESS ITS FOR THE BIT

[true latch]

🙃

[gusty cove]

DO NOT 😭

[crude cliff]

True
I started another sk file where I less then halfway through decided to try and do these bosses hitless

[shut sparrow]

get well soon

[crude cliff]

And where I limit myself to strategies I wouldnt have ever used to learn those

Trying new things

[gusty cove]

low dps from ||summons||. also ||gwomb|| is objectively the worst ||charm|| in the game

sorry

i dont mean to be mean or anything

[bronze minnow]

||is p4 required for 112%?||

[golden flower]

yes

[polar flicker]

Oh ye sk
I'll prob start after ||weathered mask|| unless I'm crazy enough to try ||p3-p5ab ||

[gusty cove]

yup

[crude cliff]

Yes

[balmy kraken]

||But In the late game, a pure nail build Unbreakable Strength + Quick Slash often outclasses Nail Arts in terms of raw Damage per second || simple as that mate

[true latch]

I know im doing weird builds bc sometimes it just works

[polar flicker]

Hopefully I don't fall into this grind

[crude cliff]

Crazy late
But ig you just want to do hk to its fullest first

[shut sparrow]

hope you are crazy enough

[bronze minnow]

all i need to do is ||p4|| and ||flower quest||

112% after that

[gusty cove]

"simple as that mate" to an ||r5|| runner lmao

[shut sparrow]

and remember ||p5ab is similar to anyrad so like, might as well do that then||

[crude cliff]

I want allat too but its not in reach yet

[crude cliff]

Nice
||flower isnt as bad as it seems||

[shut sparrow]

and then ||ascended/radiant are the next logical steps||, and there you go you are me

[crude cliff]

You have done many harder things by now

[gusty cove]

"simple as that mate" is so condescending😭

[bronze minnow]

i tried ||flower quest||
and it was terrible so ima do that after ||p4||

[gusty cove]

just work out a route that works for you!!

[bronze minnow]

id rather start ||steel soul||

[crude cliff]

Try it before

[balmy kraken]

Well that's what I think idc if a guy is a ||r5 runner or something || defeating || radiance is the topic here ||

[gusty cove]

i personally use ||tram|| route and then go through ||fog canyon|| through ||queens station||

[shut sparrow]

this community makes me go crazy

[polar flicker]

Yeah || but p5ab feels so crazy to learn, nonsenf told me he did it 500-600 hrs in.
And if it took him that long I'm cooked ||

[bronze minnow]

wrong channel pls delete

#sk-help

[gusty cove]

dude ||r5|| requires beating a harder version of ||radiance|| completely hitless

[golden flower]

that doesnt mean it took 500-600h
mine probably took 70-80 hours factoring in practice and failed runs

[gusty cove]

its completely relevant to the current discussion lmao

[lofty totem]

sorry

[balmy kraken]

#sk-help also I guess it opens from the other side

[bronze minnow]

tyy

[golden flower]

this argument is made all the time
one i run ||fury so it doesnt
two it assumes that the bosses are standing still and doing nothing, and that attacks are just being spammed
having a nart to use for any kind of break is amazing, heres my phase one and two from last run||

[crude cliff]

That always works

[shut sparrow]

that's not what makes it hard really

[crude cliff]

Nerves

And endurance

[gusty cove]

yeha but im saying its relevant to the ||radiance|| discussion because of that

[shut sparrow]

||hitless absrad compared to R5 is similar to kings pass compared to R5||

[shut sparrow]

oh ic

[balmy kraken]

||Absolute radiance on radiant ik 😅||

[gusty cove]

yeah so why would you say that you dont care that they run ||r5|| lol

their input is completely valid in this situation 😭

anyways

||narts|| are beautiful

i love them

[acoustic sigil]

||naits||

[gusty cove]

wtf is a ||nait||

[crude cliff]

Cant even make much from that

[quaint parcel]

Do i just leave? What do i do ?

[gusty cove]

||dnail||

[crude cliff]

You can do something

[gusty cove]

||dream nail||

[acoustic sigil]

||nail art||

[quaint parcel]

Oh there we go

Thanks

[gusty cove]

ohhh i seeee

[crude cliff]

||naiart||

[balmy kraken]

😓 I am giving my opinion not fighting with a ||r5 player on something||

[gusty cove]

and im trying to explain to you that you should be open for discussion rather than not taking peoples input and talking to people like single celled organisms

🙁

[golden flower]

its fine
||narts|| are hard to utilize properly, but the value in that fight is there

[gusty cove]

yeah i agree

[polar flicker]

Womp ur an || R5|| runner ?

[gusty cove]

nope

teqnok is

[polar flicker]

Oh i thought he retired

[golden flower]

more ||f5|| since... a while ago but ill do more proper runs soon

[gusty cove]

coolness!!

[balmy kraken]

👍 it's peak I just wanted to say ||I never used nail arts in rad. or abs. radiance fight || I remember it took me many tries tho

[gusty cove]

ok! just make sure to phrase it differently next time so that misunderstandings dont happen

because i thought u were judging me 😭

[wooden monolith]

What charm build should I choose to fight ||Grimm master troupe||?

[polar flicker]

What do u have

[gusty cove]

send which ||charms|| you have pls!!

[balmy kraken]

Sry then

[gusty cove]

oh

ok

[bronze minnow]

quick delete then change

[balmy kraken]

||Unbreakable , long nail , quick slash and the grimm child ||

[wooden monolith]

||Unbreakable|| what?

[polar flicker]

Ask them what they have first

[balmy kraken]

He had it already

[simple galleon]

You didn't know that, the rule still stands.

[wooden monolith]

I just got ||abyss shriek|| to beat it

[wooden monolith]

I lost ||3 times|| already

[gusty cove]

dont worry! the first times are always the hardest. you can do it!

id say i agree with herb

[bronze minnow]

if ur not confident on winning with ||strength|| then try without and practice a bit until u can get pretty far, then use it so u dont gotta rebuy it

[balmy kraken]

Well he knew it things would have been different if he didn't

[golden flower]

...its ||unbreakable||

[bronze minnow]

wait do they have ||breakable or unbreakable||

[gusty cove]

||strength|| is ||unbreakable|| lol

[bronze minnow]

[bronze minnow]

[lunar heron]

[gusty cove]

||pure vessel||

[gusty cove]

[bronze minnow]

that or ||rad||

[gusty cove]

oh yeah

[lunar heron]

I meant the || second hornet boss||

[golden flower]

[gusty cove]

ohh. lmao

[bronze minnow]

OR THAT

[gusty cove]

alr i gotta go chat

see yall later have fun make good choices

[bronze minnow]

what area r u in

[lunar heron]

|| kingdom's edge||

[bronze minnow]

ok show ur charms

[simple galleon]

||Hit the spikes as soon as they appear. Be patient, and keep in mind that just because you were able to punish a move in the first fight doesn't mean you can here.||

[balmy kraken]

Rules are dont spoil if a person he \ she dont have the item

[lunar heron]

i like genuinely have almost nothing..

What do you suggest for it?

[bronze minnow]

well idk what u have

[simple galleon]

And part of that is look at their charms before recommending them, to avoid mentioning charms you don't have. Luckily they had all of those, just please keep in mind to ask to see someone charms first.

[bronze minnow]

if ur gonna suggest a charm build to someone just ask for what they have

[simple galleon]

huh

[bronze minnow]

show me ur routing pls

like what areas did u go to in what order

[simple galleon]

You might want to explore areas you already been to, you don't have much at all lol

[balmy kraken]

K my bad

[bronze minnow]

mostly how did u get into ||kingdoms edge||

[lunar heron]

idk

luck

running away from enemies

[simple galleon]

Why?

[lunar heron]

and like idk how i got here

[bronze minnow]

they dont have ||defenders crest|| so it was prob thru ||resting grounds||

[simple galleon]

Why are you asking I mean?

[crude cliff]

I'd say you are here early and might want to do other things first

[bronze minnow]

im just confused

kai can u show ur map

[lunar heron]

Like fully? Or just a part?

[bronze minnow]

entire

[bronze minnow]

well

id suggest going down and left to get back into ||city of tears|| and see whats in that room

[crude cliff]

You sure they arrived via there?

Tho they should be able to enter

This looks like ||deepnest tram to edge||

[bronze minnow]

yeah they should prob ||unlock stag+connect city||

[lunar heron]

No i did

i went through || kings station ||

[bronze minnow]

how did u get there

wait

[lunar heron]

No idea, i've been stuck at this boss for a while now

[bronze minnow]

ur really underleveled

pretty sure u took that routing

[shell abyss]

Wtf

[lunar heron]

prob

[bronze minnow]

i have no idea how u managed that

[lunar heron]

got lost on the way, atleast found the ||Colloseum of fools || now ig

[austere garden]

i am basically done with the game, im on ||111 completion||, beat ||pantheon 4|| but i just cant seem to beat ||trial of the fool||. the furthest i've got to was the ||groundless phase|| and died there, but i usaully die soon after the ||queen's garden mantis and big mawlek|| spawns, any tips?

[bronze minnow]

what charms r u using

[primal ibex]

A ||nail art|| or ||fireball|| deals with them really well

[crude cliff]

||dreamwielder|| is very useful in this

Just keep an easy enemy alive and fully regenerate and get full soul

Doesnt work on the ||groundless part but spells do||

[austere garden]

i've even tried the ||spawners|| build but still doesnt work

[bronze minnow]

i like to use a full ||nail|| build

it was pretty easy with tht

[primal ibex]

That looks fine, maybe try ||shaman instead of mop||

[austere garden]

a big problem i think is the ||big mawlek and mantis|| parts take a lot of my health away so i am left with very little health on the ||groundless phase||

[crude cliff]

||shaman stone shade soul them||

[primal ibex]

||ddark|| is very good for those parts

[bronze minnow]

for that part i just kept hitting whenever i could until they died

[crude cliff]

Build suggestion ||strength, dreamwielder, shaman, quickslash, grubsong/nailmaster||

[primal ibex]

||qs|| is slightly less useful in ||colo|| but that build is fine

[bronze minnow]

its pretty good for crowd control

and killing bigger enemies quicker

[austere garden]

sorry can i ask what is ||quick slash|| for? don't the enemies have low health usually

[primal ibex]

It’s best for big enemies yes

[bronze minnow]

i mean i won using ||qs strength longnail+mop||

[crude cliff]

Its not vital here but always usable ||you could mop instead||

[austere garden]

wow no ||nailmaster glory||?

[crude cliff]

Me neither

I used the build I suggest with ||grubsong||

[primal ibex]

||nail arts|| can be harder to use on controller

[bronze minnow]

it doesnt help when the small enemies r still 2 shot when using ||great slash||

[austere garden]

i see, thanks everyone i'll try again tomorrow with your suggestions

[golden flower]

that doesnt sound right
what nail

[austere garden]

thankfully ||primal aspids|| still die in 1 ||great slash||

[bronze minnow]

pure

[primal ibex]

It still does help

You can charge while it spawns

Then ||nail art|| once and hit a few times

[lunar heron]

I'm here now, what did you mean?

[crude cliff]

I like to use ||shaman stone shade soul where others suggest nail arts work well||

[bronze minnow]

have u connected ||city of tears?||

[primal ibex]

That is good too

[lunar heron]

I think?

[primal ibex]

What do you need help with?

[bronze minnow]

if u keep going left can u reach ||the statue||?

[primal ibex]

That looks like it should be connected

[glossy gazelle]

It is possible to achieve ||112%|| even after ||banishing the Grimm troupe without transforming fragile amulets into unbreakable amulets||?

[bronze minnow]

yesd

[primal ibex]

They don’t give % so yes

[glossy gazelle]

ty

[lunar heron]

you mean this one?

[bronze minnow]

yeah

u connected

[lunar heron]

where am i meant to go now then?

[red cairn]

Explore

[bronze minnow]

wait so have u explored all of the bottom of ||city of tears||?

[lunar heron]

Think so?

[agile yew]

||thanks, but i got descendong dark and it made the fight pretty easy, but i am having trouble with false champion||

[simple galleon]

Spoiler that (ty )

[agile yew]

lol but can u help me with ||false champion||

[simple galleon]

My strategy for ||failed champion||:
||Stay on one side of the area, and dodge the balls and shockwaves. When he jumps over, dash through him, hit him a few times, then run to the opposite side, repeat.||

[agile yew]

ok, should i use ||dream sword|| when he is down?

[simple galleon]

I would once or twice.

[golden flower]

would have to see an inventory to say anything useful, that fight is extremely dependent on gear

[lunar heron]

sorry to disrupt, the conversation but i see this room, how can i get here?

[simple galleon]

Come from the left

[bronze minnow]

u cant

not at ur point of the game

unless u want to fight a boss

[lunar heron]

ah

yeah ok then not

[bronze minnow]

wait show ur inv

[lunar heron]

.

oh wait no

[agile yew]

u should sell ur artifacts

[simple galleon]

Not unless you need to

[bronze minnow]

upgrade ur ||nail||

[agile yew]

have u visited ||city of tears||

[lunar heron]

i have

[bronze minnow]

potential uncspoiler and they have

[primal ibex]

They have ||dive|| so yes they have

[agile yew]

go to ||city storerooms|| and go down then to the left and u will find a ||nail upgrade shop||

[lunar heron]

uhh, i think i've been there before

[bronze minnow]

u can upgrade it again with ur ||pale ore||

[primal ibex]

Yes he has ||sharpened nail||

[lunar heron]

Ok, lemme look for that place a bit, dont really remeber where it is

[agile yew]

i love ||spoiler marking||

[primal ibex]

Bottom left ||city||

[bronze minnow]

on the floor of ||city of tears|| all the way to the left

[lunar heron]

So like right next to the edge of || Mantis village||?

[primal ibex]

Near that but not actually connected

[bronze minnow]

not connected but yeah

Zoom in if you want me to circle it

[gusty cove]

hi chat

[primal ibex]

Hello

[gusty cove]

day is almost over

i get to leave after next period!!

i leave at like. 12 pm today so

[primal ibex]

Can you send a zoomed in pic?

[pallid narwhal]

Is using ||long nail||+||mark of pride|| will give me double ||nail range or only the range of mark of pride||?

[simple galleon]

They do stack

[pallid narwhal]

Its not useful right ?

[simple galleon]

Kind of a waste of ||notches|| imo

[golden flower]

||longnail (15), mop (25), both 40%||

[pallid narwhal]

Another question is ||great slash and dash slash do the same damage or great slash do more damage||?

[primal ibex]

They deal the same dmg

[simple island]

It’s just a matter of when you can use them and different range

-# they are a bit redondant with each other but shhh

[unborn rock]

|| I just beat the hollow knight and got bad ending, and I’m just checking on how to get the good ending.
I have to beat something in queens garden, and then upgrade dnail, and then beat the white armor thing in the palace, and then get the charm thing, and then do the backstory in the abyss, and then fight the hollow knight and then dnail him when hornet comes, and then do the radiance. Tell me if I missed anything ||

[golden flower]

thats correct

[unborn rock]

nice

[lunar heron]

Is this worth it for the || Nail upgrade||?

[ionic cargo]

yeah, its only purpose is to be sold

[timid glade]

Guys

[unreal basin]

i haten ||p3|| so much 😭 ||sly|| himself isn't hard but the fact that i have to ||go through so many other bosses makes it take so long every time i die||

[simple galleon]

Practice in ||hog|| until you can do it consistently

[timid glade]

Try training in ||Hall of Gods|| first

[unreal basin]

i've done that and i can beat him at least semi-consistently

[ionic cargo]

then all you have to do is keep trying

[timid glade]

Gyus, my game progress is 110%, but the only pending stuff I can see now is to complete ||p4||. What is the 1% left?

[magic zenith]

that must be the problem

[red cairn]

||hit and run||

[astral cosmos]

you learn his pattern

[magic zenith]

awesome

[astral cosmos]

pretty much, gotta learn the pattern to hit and run still

[magic zenith]

the only thing i know to do is hit and run

the fact that am sitting on 1-inch wide metal bars that are about a foot from each other is not helping

there is supposed to be a wooden pad for it to be a chair but it alt f4d

[astral cosmos]

come back again when you try fighting ||absrad||, that what im doing right now, and im sitting on a kitchen chair with pillows

with a fcking dining table

[magic zenith]

that must be bad

[astral cosmos]

exactly, so appreciate that you got a better setup than me

[crude cliff]

||I recommend doing all his overworld fights, those gradually get harder||

[magic zenith]

what overworld fights

[astral cosmos]

💀

[magic zenith]

i only fought him in the dreeeem

[astral cosmos]

💀💀💀

[crude cliff]

||non-godhome||

[magic zenith]

[crude cliff]

True tho

[crude cliff]

I never had issues with the fight after that

[magic zenith]

it took me over a hour to get the first one

[crude cliff]

Learning arc

[astral cosmos]

yup

[magic zenith]

might aswell get the last mask the last ||vessel|| and all the charms left also killing ||failed champion|| in the process

[astral cosmos]

ngl i quit the game 5+ times before beating ||nkg||
now i already quit more than 10+ times in a span of like 4 months, still cant beat ||absrad||
tho thats good in its own way

i tried lots of new games

celeste, dead cells, nine sols, satisfactory etc..

but most legendary of them all

oneshot

[magic zenith]

i played the game like a year ago and i quit after ||mantis lords|| then i came back like 4 days ago and now i beat the game and working on ||pantheons||

i beat ||nkg|| like 2 days ago

forced my self to not sleep untill i beat him

[astral cosmos]

yea that learning curve gets extremely steep the higher you climb, sadly

[magic zenith]

it was 3 am

[astral cosmos]

respect

meh 3am is mid

[magic zenith]

i mean i locked in

my bro helped me a bit

yea i mean rad was a bit hard for me

about 4 tries untill the first kill

[astral cosmos]

i was fighting the ||absrad|| from 5pm to 8am or smh

[magic zenith]

crawy

[astral cosmos]

lucky to have a good bro

[magic zenith]

i mean in terms of skill we are about the same

we both only beat the game once

[blazing yoke]

Imagine I've||finished the p4 and forgot to equip a charm||

[astral cosmos]

lmao

damn

[magic zenith]

lol

[astral cosmos]

congrats tho

[magic zenith]

but 12 mins is prety good

[astral cosmos]

it is

sad i cant view my best time

[magic zenith]

its fine

how do i get to ||failed champion||

[blazing yoke]

||Now since I've finished the game in 112 % I'm wandering why I've to finish The p5||

[blazing yoke]

Easy

[astral cosmos]

do glass soul 112%

[blazing yoke]

||use dash and equip the unbreakable strength and quick slash and dream nail him to gain souls||

[magic zenith]

i meant get to him

[blazing yoke]

Nah I've got a life

[magic zenith]

some people dont

[astral cosmos]

lol

[blazing yoke]

||You see where you've fought against him? He's above just follow the sound of crying||

[blazing yoke]

Besides didn't finished the||p5|| yet

[magic zenith]

i wonder why the ||god seeker is skinny in god home but fat in the real realm||

whats the best ||2 notch charm for a nail build i have unb strength quick slash and mop||

[gusty cove]

||steady body|| and ||nailmasters glory|| i would say if youre going purely for ||nail||

[magic zenith]

i am doing ||pantheons|| so does they change

[gusty cove]

?

wdym

i think itd work for ||pantheons|| just fine if thats what youre asking

it depends on which ||pantheon|| tho

[magic zenith]

3

[gusty cove]

then yeah id say ||steady body and nailmasters glory|| is good

[magic zenith]

kk ty

time for ||failed champion||

is ||failed champion|| just ||false knight on steroids||?

[gusty cove]

yeah

[magic zenith]

[magic zenith]

why is ||failed champion|| nearly impossible

[royal echo]

Guys, where should i go after getting ||crystal heart||?

[sand vault]

It ez

[magic zenith]

||dream nail|| if you havent already

[sand vault]

I think || dreamnail ||

[magic zenith]

also if you dont have ||mantis claw|| get it

[magic zenith]

hes really hard

for me atleast

[gusty cove]

how cpuld you haveno ||claw|| and ||cdash||

[royal echo]

Thx, now i now what to look for

[magic zenith]

i did

[magic zenith]

its in ||resting grounds||

[sand vault]

You have || monarch wings? ||

[gusty cove]

yeah probably dont say that because its discouraging

[crude cliff]

How?

[magic zenith]

i have everything but a ||vessel|| mask and a few charms

i was doing ||p3|| but had to fight him in the way

[sand vault]

Mbmb but it's just || false knight X2 speed, jus slow down time 😞 ||

[gusty cove]

yeahyeah i get it lmao

[magic zenith]

its me and expect anything stoooobid frm me

[sand vault]

Anywyad gtg

[crude cliff]

||how would you get heart before claw?||

[magic zenith]

bye have a good day/night

[gusty cove]

its only possible with skips so no you didnt

[sand vault]

Gn

[gusty cove]

gn

[crude cliff]

Ye

[magic zenith]

i didnt know that i had to get ||claw||

[gusty cove]

spoiler tag that

[crude cliff]

Then you didnt get ||heart||

[magic zenith]

took me hours

[magic zenith]

i did

[gusty cove]

yeah if you dont have ||claw|| then you cant have ||heart|| without skips/glitches

seriously its just not possible

[magic zenith]

i know

but then i didnt

[gusty cove]

you didnt have ||heart|| before ||claw|| because nobody is doing skips on their first playthrough unless they were a speedrunner of another game previously so

[crude cliff]

In simple terms, impossible

[gusty cove]

yup

[magic zenith]

i did

i just didnt know what i had to do

[crude cliff]

Just as impossible as (random other thing that isnt actually impossible but you think it is)

[magic zenith]

since i didnt use wiki

[crude cliff]

Then you wouldnt resort to skips

[gusty cove]

seriously, no. no you didnt.

[magic zenith]

i didnt know that it was a skip

i thought it was the intended way

[gusty cove]

that what was a skip?

[magic zenith]

wdym

[gusty cove]

what did you not know was a skip

i wanna make sure we're on the same page

[crude cliff]

Which part

[magic zenith]

the path to ||heart||

[gusty cove]

ok so

[magic zenith]

i thought it was intended

[gusty cove]

youd have to do multiple almost frame perfect skips to get to it

so no

[magic zenith]

and is the reason why i have like 50 hours on the save

[bronze minnow]

what did they have

[gusty cove]

you did not have ||heart|| before ||claw||

[magic zenith]

i just didnt have ||claw||

[crude cliff]

50 hours without skips is very usual

[magic zenith]

but theyre declining it

[gusty cove]

hes saying he had ||heart|| before ||claw||

which isnt possible without skips

[bronze minnow]

so they only had ||dash||?

[magic zenith]

[gusty cove]

i guess so?

[crude cliff]

Presumably

[magic zenith]

yeah

[gusty cove]

||crystal peaks|| is barely explorable without ||claw|| so

[magic zenith]

the miners were a clutch

[bronze minnow]

triple ||fireball|| skips?

[magic zenith]

i just pogoed on their pickaxes to traverse it

[gusty cove]

yeah hes saying it was his first playthrough and that he didnt use the wiki

[magic zenith]

i didnt do that

[crude cliff]

On a first playthrough

[magic zenith]

i cant do it

yes on a first playthro

without wiki

[crude cliff]

This makes it less believable

[magic zenith]

i just used my ||shade||

[magic zenith]

i know

[red cairn]

twas a scam

[magic zenith]

am not trying to prove my self correct

[acoustic sigil]

Good

Then we can move on

[magic zenith]

am trying to say the truth

yes

[acoustic sigil]

Yes, so you also shut up

[magic zenith]

what do i do to ||failed champion||

[bronze minnow]

kill it

[magic zenith]

no i want real tips

really hard cause hes fast

[modest sparrow]

cheese strat

[bronze minnow]

if u want

every stagger

[gusty cove]

OOPS

[magic zenith]

never heard of it

[gusty cove]

||dash|| under him i meant

[magic zenith]

yeah i know

[modest sparrow]

in every || stagger u can dream nail him than pogo on him|| as often as u want

[magic zenith]

i read it as ||dash||

[magic zenith]

just once per ||stagger||?

[gusty cove]

he means ||pogo on his armor|| and then ||dream nail||

[golden flower]

||
dont leave the ground for any reason that isnt jumping over a shockwave
hit meteors up if necessary
each move can happen up to 3 times in a row before another
there is the stagger cheese (where a hit to anything that isnt the maggot resets the stagger timer, allowing infinite dnailing/focusing), but that shouldnt really be necessary
depending on gear, he gets stunlocked as soon as the first stagger happens||

[magic zenith]

thanks

i will try that

[gusty cove]

this gyro wrap is so good...

[dry hamlet]

TE

GUEST WHAT

guees*

[golden flower]

?

[dry hamlet]

BUT

:D

[golden flower]

[dry hamlet]

uhhhh wana tell me something before i start playing

[gusty cove]

[dry hamlet]

or go in blind?

[timid glade]

I'm back

Maybe a bug?

Picture 1: ||The only thing I haven't done yet it is to beat p4||
Picture 2: ||What the games shows now||

[dry hamlet]

(i know NOTHING about silksong exepct 3 bosses)

how they look

[gusty cove]

i personally went in blind and accidentally got spoiled along the way so really it dpeends on what you eant

[fallow yarrow]

I can tell you in #hk-lore lil brodie

if you want

[timid glade]

What the hell am I missing?

[fallow yarrow]

oh lmao you've installed a mod

[fallow yarrow]

||Seer's achievement bugs sometimes, check her||

[timid glade]

Wdym?

[fallow yarrow]

LOOOL you changed your identity while waiting for reply

[fallow yarrow]

I thought the first pic is a mod but maybe just a site?

[timid glade]

Oh yes

[timid glade]

Normal picture

[timid glade]

I've been some long time off discord, and at this time I had this picture and username

[fallow yarrow]

check on her

[timid glade]

But it's a little outdated

[timid glade]

Fine

You mean going to ||resting grounds|| and look for her?

Seems like mentioning any game thing name is considered a spoiler

[magic zenith]

rip ||seer|| i just talked to him and he desapeared what did i do

[timid glade]

||She ascended||

[fallow yarrow]

bro you're silly

[frosty leaf]

im gonna lose my fucking mind

[fallow yarrow]

fjsdlkx,fhalsdghjax

spoiler your words, everything is spoiler here

[frosty leaf]

jesus christ

[fallow yarrow]

he's not a spoiler

[frosty leaf]

||spoilers for godhome|| ||does anyone have tips on beating pantheon of the sage? im having trouble with sly||

i wonder if hollow knight is a spoiler

oh hey i guess not

[fallow yarrow]

practice him in ||HoG|| also a tip for his last phase ||you can dodge his spin with 1 dash away, charge NArt in the meantime and hit him with Great Slash after dodging||

[primal ibex]

If you mean ||the boss|| then yes

[primal ibex]

||take nailmaster's glory. charge a nail art while he attacks and great slash after his swings/spin/nail art. dash out if he gets too close. repeat for phase 2.||
Practice in ||hall of gods||

You don’t need ||glory|| but it helps a lot

[golden flower]

||sly is pretty consistent, each move has a clear response

• triple swing: walk away

• downslash: stay out of range to bait out the counter swing

• cyclone: either ddark, pogo (risky, not recommended), or run and use a wall

• dash slash: jump over

• great slash: dash out then in

• each attack can be punished with a nail art, or 1-2 hits (sometimes 3 but thats greedy) with qs/sbody

  • i use great slash after everything, with a dash slash to punish his great slash
    • timing on the dslash is tight, would probably say to just do 1 nail hit

• if positioning on a move is tight, dont bother trying to punish

• for phase two:

  • he can spin anywhere from 2-5 times, keeping track of how many he's done to know when a spin has to happen is not a bad idea
  • walk away from his side of the arena, respond to each spin with a great slash (should be ~5 on attuned [p3])
  • dashing away is fine but isnt strictly necessary unless hes directly above

• only real healing window is a stagger, trying anything else will probably lead to a hit

[primal ibex]

Teqnok did you write these text walls yourself

[golden flower]

i write them every time
not exactly sure why
from:teqnok out then in is

[primal ibex]

What

Oh you search for a message from yourself with those words in it

[golden flower]

yeah

[errant vault]

||I only do 3 for tripe swing tbh

Also u should also try to bait triple swing bc he can stop before finishing that too

Cyclone pogo isnt bad at all, most of the time i either pogo 1-2 times and dash or ddark after

You can get a lil heal after his third swing while hes in the air aslong as u dont waste time to punish him and u have distance||

[golden flower]

most of my strats revolve around the runs that i do (mostly consistent hitless)
pogoing ||cyclone does work but using a wall is far safer for only 26-32 damage lost||

[errant vault]

Why the wall

[golden flower]

first thing that worked consistently
also ends with being in the middle of the arena

[lunar heron]

Anyone know how i can get to this || sleeper ||?

[red cairn]

zoom out so i can show

[red cairn]

see ||the bench above the statue?||

[lunar heron]

mhm

oh i think i already see it

||that boss is such a pain bro||

[ashen bronze]

Why is ||hornet so difficult in kingdoms edge||

[simple galleon]

||Skill check, since beating her unlocks late game stuff.||

[ashen bronze]

Ayaaaaa i got there late so happy flappy

[errant vault]

||First one was a test of a resolve, this one is a test of speed.||

[ashen bronze]

One last try before i cry ._.

Hahaha

Wait i did it...

Wooohoo!!!

[errant vault]

I expected it

Always when ur out of hope that u win

[carmine marsh]

||hornet sentinel|| tips?

[simple galleon]

||Hit the spikes as soon as they appear. Be patient, and keep in mind that just because you were able to punish a move in the first fight doesn't mean you can here.||
