i got fried for my controls
but it works for me
somehow my friend beat the entire game with default controls idunno how she did it
use what feels more comfortable. If you can't find a comfortable way to ||dash with your left hand||, try assigning it to your right
i hate using arrowkeys
alr
they seem good
u should
can you send an image of your inventory?
when ||the fireballs fall ||u can get 1 heal
i got everything i think
i'm 109%
do this
it's an easy and consistent strat
alr thankyou
||Also here is one for healing opportunities in case you want them. I only really recommend going for the easy ones. Maybe some medium ones if you are confident you can start the heal quickly. https://youtu.be/vk3x0KBl5V4||
what do ||hot springs|| do?
DAMN
lol
Average Gen Alpha unable to stand still in the glowing space for long enough to notice its effect
ok buddy
@crude cliff, Thommie, A_SHIP_IN_A_BOTTLE
Guys, I’M A FUCKING IDIOT.
I have something to confess. I haven't actually been playing on Radeon for 70 hours. The truth is, my main card died at the 60-hour mark, but I didn't want to stop since I only had a few ||Bindings left in the Pantheons||.
While checking the game files, I noticed a bunch of leftover DLLs and configs tied to NVIDIA. The problem wasn't with Team Cherry’s code or the game being "broken" — the problem was me being a complete dumbass and not realizing the conflict.
Sorry for lying and if I offended or annoyed anyone. My bad
.
.
Btw if you care about achievement there are some tools to cheat in achievements (if you are unable to get some because of sudden game crashes despite doing the thing it’s totally fine to use some tools to « cheat » them in)
||guys,how do i open this door?||
complete ||bindings|| on the big doors above
probably dont worry about it until ||godhome|| is done
any tips to deal w/ ||gallion and ummuu hitless on p3||?
||umuu is just weird without quirrel for me||
and ||gallion|| I just wanna avoid getting hit 1-2 times
||just spam abyss sherik on galliun only problem is its gonna take all of your souls||
||6 abyss sheriks and he dead||
my poor ||Galien|| getting his name absolutely obliterated
||and if ummu uses the electric thingy not the one that follow u, just go on the water||,
||galien is shrieking twice right as he spawns => 2 hits => 2 shrieks => 2 hits => 2 shrieks
uumuu hitless is mostly learning how to kite it properly (knowingly use the passive movement towards the knight to keep it in a good spot, like the lower middle platform)
ooma spawns are forced after 2 non spawning attacks
use the very bottom platforms as a base, minefield does not target them
do nothing for minefield, run up a wall and cross over to the other bottom platform for tracking
use fireball if oomas and uumuu overlap, dont overcommit to an ooma if its not a clear shot
||
||recommend using strength, qslash,shaman, long nail|| literally the best build, been with me from birth to death
alright, my one question is how do I not get hit when I use ||shrieks on gallien, since the big ah scyth follows you around||
but I see what you're talking about for ||umuu||
use them as the scythe bounces over
best way to learn the spacing would be watching clears
always use after/during the ||big axe hits the ground||
also ||ddark is very nice sometimes when you dont have shade cloak up||
lmfao, I suck at ||timing ddark||, something I oughta work on
use it without jumping and preferably with ||quick cast|| to actually make it viable as a reaction rather than a prediction
congrats
FINALLLLYYYYY
god dang!! congrats man
dammm congrats!!
Less goooo
its been 1 min, calm, also you do the ||bindings on the pantheons, if you do 8 separate bindings across them you unlock the door (these bindings can be done 1 at a time)||
Okay thanks
other than that, dw about it until you feel like you are struggling too much with the ||pantheons||
GOD DAMN 65K GEO?????
all this money nothing to spend it on
Makes sense
the last time i had under 500 geo was when i was ||strengthening charms||
with ||divine||_
Oh go to hell
Mhm
I got like 2K geo on me
To a new player (me) that's considered rich
Anything past 1K to a newbie is considered rich
goodluck man
||I mean there is no reason to get the unbreakable charms. At most strength but even that is only really worth it for a single boss if any||
||apparently when you dream nail god seeker there’s a 2 percent chance you get a thing, what is it without getting into spoilers, is it helpful? Does it give an achievement?||
||gives nothing, only lore and you get to go to a cool place, which is actually related to silksong if you have a keen eye||
Bruh I just spoiled this for myself
After spoiling most of HK for myself i would LOVE to blindly play silksong
good luck
I gotta save up money for it tho 😭
honestly the most worth $20 of all time
i played silksong immediately on release and still got a couple spoilers though so be careful 🥶
I spoiled only some of the bossfights and charms only
So I've still got the entirety of the map to explore
any advice for exploring ||white palace, more specifically path of pain 😭😭😭||
Equip charms that would help you with platforming and healing more. What charms do you have?
Not that much rn cuz i lwk rushed to ||palace|| but without realizing lmao
use ||hive blood for pasive healing, tho there are a good amount of soul totems so ur choice||
oh
show what u have ig
I cant show my inventory rn so js use this pic that i found online then crossed stuffs out
ok
im kinda cooked arent i 😭😭
how many ||noches?||
7
use || shamans qs and grubsong||
i feel like this is the best u can have
under ur circumstance
Lol thanks 😭😭😭
np✌️ 😭
||Mark Of Pride, Grubsong, Quick Slash. Shaman does nothing here whereas Mark of Pride lets you pogo more conveniently. Don't equip MoP in Path Of Pain, but it's good for vanilla white palace.||
||shaman helps in pop||
||and qs can help||
Need help beating ||godhome brooding mawlek ||
which ||pantheon?||
1
just hit and ||dash away||
and u can get heals of by standing in a corner
he has a very lil chance of hitting u there
I get comboed by the ||orange goo attack and the tendril||
Ok thanks
tendril?
Idk what u call it
like the blade thingie?
is this about ||god tamer?||
u have black ||dash|| right?
No
||mawlek||
alr, then what exactly?
Yeah I still get big tho
or whatever its called
||brooding mawlek||
for ||mawlek, I would say perhaps something like soul catcher/soul eater and just spam him||
||shade cloak||
what ||charms|| u got?
i was talking about ||mawlek but thanks||
I got everything in the game besides ||level 4 grim child ||
I tried that
u use ||nails or spells more||
||grimm|| is relatively easy to do if you get used to ||his bat attack||
||spells||
I wanted to do ||radiance then godhome after I beat his normal version and forgot||
||Shaman stone quick slash soul twister soul catcher steady body|| is good
hmm, have you tried a mostly ||spell loadout and just spam ddark and shade soul?||
use ||shamans,strenght, soul catcher and smt u like||
this is really good imo
did u respond to the wrong person?
u could use ||mop||
oh yeah mb
all g
@rustic frigate
Lots of ||spell|| charm loudouts to use
But why ||unbreakable strength|| if they run more ||spells||
||strength is just op||
more dps
Also kinda need some||other dps for the rest of the bosses||
There's also the funny one with ||weaversong sprintmaster grubsong||
But lowk why is ||brooding mawlek stronger than the hollow knight||
icl, insanely cracked loadout, ||grimmchild t4, glowing womb, and all the other charms that spawn helpers||
say wallahi bro
twizzler..its not..
||brooding|| has never given me any issues, although I did have most of the stuff in the game by the time I got to it
which charms should i buy first from the charm shop?

||shamans||
|| compass, shaman and longnail are all rlly good||
so ||shaman first and then longnail and then the notches?||
||compass isnt in the charm store tho..?||
get ||notches as soon as they become available, after that focus on charms themselves, they are useless if u can't fit them without compromise||
btw what does ||steady body||even do lol
well, it's a charm u buy lmao
Having a skill issue for easy bosses is crazy
so u dont take knock back
ohhh
||THIS IS CRACKED, you don't take knockback from enemies, and you don't get moved back when you hit an enemy||
removes ||knockback from neutral hits||
it does not remove ||knockback from enemies/taking hits||
really?
oh mb, I was unsure about that
||to fight radiance and hk in godhome do I needa beat them in pantheons?||
but yeah, it's really useful not get pushed back when you hit something
those two are not there
yep
I saw them in a video
Ok thx
yeah no, it's annoying having to do it that way, cuz then u can't practice em, but it is what it is
its very strong in endgame, decent dps increase and more control with tight gaps
in earlygame its not nearly as good but there isnt much better for ||one notch||
note that it does take a decent bit of taking used to
why are ||musk warriors|| so annoying, i take like 4 hits before killing one
I liked the fights but going all the way to ||forgotten crossroads is really annoying||
yeah, agreed. I wish there was some fast travel method to ||godhome and black egg, although dirtmouth is really closeby, it's just tedious lmao, welcome to metroidvania's ig||
how to kill ||musk warriors|| easily? or should i just jump over them
||what area are those in||
I forgot some npcs names but I remember them
||crossroads||
yo can anyone help im in || white palace i have no clue how to get past ts ||
Those big guys?
You can prob ignore em
no no the lil ones with shields
Or the shields
||pogo on them|| or ignore
||pogo once then attack normal||
OMG THERES AN NPC CALLED ||sly|| so nice of the devs in adding me to the game ☺️☺️🎉
this guy
🙁
Haha
Do you have a certain ||charm|| that looks a bit like honeycomb
yess
i have completed the || white palace ||
jus now '
how do i get to || the path of pain ? ||
Honestly not sure because that is like the one thing I am missing
||and how to get void heart||
ohhh
No! Don’t get it yet because you will lose access to one ending
what
ohh
okk
||But after you reached the first normal ending then go to the bottom of the abyss and the you can get voidheart||
so i have to fight the || hollow knight now ? ||
how tf do u get thru this
|| crystal dash ||
Ty to whoever helped me with ||brooding mawlek I finally beat pantheon 1 and got a 1 mask clutch too||
if ur new u cant do that yet
yea kk
Oui
what
Yw
Sorry I am learning French in school it’s a habit
ohhh
so i have to beat ?
Yes
with the charm on ?
You need a power I advice to go left from ||forgotten crossroads ||
Yes
I don’t think so maybe
i could jus change that || into void heart and then beat right ||
Yes but get normal ending first
You can’t switch back after
mhhm okk
|| So get the normal ending and then switch to voidheart and get the other endings||
Ok I gtg bye
okk
Guys I js beat ||p1 and p2 but p3 is locked how do I unlock it?||
||find the bosses outside and go back||
Ohhh ||the bosses that are shaded||?
i believe thats the ones, i dont remember
There’s only 1
show it
Can u tell me where’s ||elder hu without spoiling too much of finding him|| pls
I googled it and he’s the only one I didn’t beat
||fungal||
Ok ty
how do i use ||d-dark|| effectivly ;-;
spoiler it
it wasnt when i said it, thats why i said it
||use it above whatever youre hitting||
id say ||pick a relatively easy boss and try ddarking ontop f them, and walking out, check with different delays from the ddark to walking out to figure out a feel for how long your iframes last, very often while you are walking out of the boss you can upslash once or twice for extra dmg as upslash doesnt deal knockback to you when used||
other than that, usecases very depending on what you are trying to do exactly
for the boss id recommend something like ||watcher knights, or mawlek||

||top is in resting grounds||
||middle ones from left to right are in crossroads, crystal peaks, and the abyss||
||bottom one is in greenpath||
do you need the areas?
Nice ty
the exact ones
Ima go try to find
ok
After you beat 1 2 and 3.
||hi please guys help me on my playstation 5 i have the bug with you can’t get the keen hunter trophee i know i have all entry because i have the hunter mark please help me||
I think youre like the 3rd person ive seen with the same issue
As you've already asked this like 3 times in here and nobody knew, have you considered making a bug report
hi guys, am completly new to hk, i know it is a grat game and i really want help to understand, if someone could help me?
just say what you need help with and someone will help, remember to spoiler the parts in the game tho
Understand what
i find the game confusing
How so
hi izu
First time tips
- You can upslash and downslash if you are in the air, very useful for combat
- You can't softlock yourself, if you ever feel like you get somewhere you shouldn't be at, you'll not be stuck at all
- In the long run geo(the currency) isn't too important, you'll get enough eventually so don't worry when you lose some
- You'll die. A lot. And that's normal
- Team Cherry liked breakable walls so they are more than present in the game
- There never is a useless room, you'll always get something for exploring
- In metroidvanias such as Hollow Knight, you collect upgrades as you play, allowing you to reach new areas. If you don't think you can reach somewhere, you probably can't. Come back later when you have an upgrade that allows you to reach it.
Hey Blank
tbh, i think i have understood that i die alot😅 , but am gonna play the game tomorrow so yeah, ill ask for help then
A alguien mas le a pasado?
btw, i have beatenn the first boss, but i dont know how to cross that big gap he made
This server is english only
You can't, you have to come down with him
Sorry
i know, but how do i cross the gap he makes?
You can't
you dont
not after you beat him?
Indeed
you go down with him
but why is there a gate therthen??
ok i cant anymore
So you don't run out during the fight
gotta get back to class
i said i find the game comfusing
I think you are overcomplicating it
maybe, but am stupid so
but am gonna play tommorow so i may get help then
btw i was watching a walktrough, i fell of after that boss figths
You shouldn't watch walkthroughs, the game is best experienced without looking things up
yeah, i know, but i fell of so it dosnt matter
Trust yourself a bit, the game doesn't kill you for walking past a collectable
i got my first ||simple key|| where should i use it first, i just got the ||monarch wings||
What could i improve bruh
||When he is hovering mid-air, slow down to a crawl, barely enough to dodge the flames. Once the 4th one appears on the ground, run up to him and use Abyss shriek||
||Also, pogoing may not be the best course of action, if it’s not working try dashing away/through and run back to hit him||
for ||flame pillars if you find it difficult to space yourself correctly you can just press the map button, and keep moving, it will give you the exact walkspeed to avoid the pillars||
The more I know
||for the slash dash attack, instead of pogoing him twice, after the initial pogo you can turn to him and slideslash, or leave that second hit out completly, dodging the flames|| on the top is very finicky
||seem to just be trying whatever might work in the moment instead of getting a clear response to each attack
- pillars is being played very carelessly
- with the charms here, the idea is correct but the execution is a little off
- my preferred response to pillars is walking towards him (should be ~2 pillars), 3-4 nail hits, then dashing through the third pillar and getting a shriek in
- pogoing uppercut is.. something i see too often, not sure how it spreads
- either dash through and heal or dash away and get 2-3 hits in
- dive was fine, looked a bit frantic
- isnt a large enough sample size to say anything substantive on bats
- my response is dashing through the 4th bat (second lower) then either dash slashing + 2 hits + maybe a fireball
||
- my response is dashing through the 4th bat (second lower) then either dash slashing + 2 hits + maybe a fireball
if you opt to ||pogo twice anyway, you can ddark at the end to avoid having to try and dodge on the top||
hi
damn, you dont like ||pogo uppercut?, do you prefer standing parry||?
Bro chill out i left for 1 minute and you wrote an entire essay
jokes aside, id have imagined you would recommend ||pogo|| there
Why did ||forgotten crossroads|| turn ||corrupted||
just seems harder to execute for people that are struggling
default response is one of these ofc
-# ||its not, i just dash away + gslash
||
||wings||
i always recommend the ||pogo cause i feel like its easier to time witch the attack that way, but i suppose more inputs could couse different problems||
also, i will prob be stealing this as a safe ||2*naildmg strat for ab|| 
||i have the same issue and i dont know what to do cause i really dont want to start over and do the whole journal again||
apparently every new entry has a chance to retrigger the achievement flag
||but the only ones left for me are the godhome secret ones||
and there really hard
so just go for the relatively eazy ones, like ||zotelings, and menderbug||
well, if you dont miss any of those, the next most doable i seal of ||binding prob, than void idol||
i see, than ||idol|| it is
||ive got seal of binding, but void idol gonna be a pain||
lucky for you even ||base lvl idol gives an entry||
||yeah but i still need to kill absrad to do so||
its not as bad as some would make you think
||im not up to p5 so||
only once, and not in the ||pantheons||
yeah but still
||i still need to get up to her in pantheon to unlock her hall of gods entry||
that may take a bit than, but look at the bright side, ||p5|| is cool, and now you have even more of a reason to complete it
i suppose
if that doesnt trigger it it may be a bit rough, as im not sure how casual getting ||weathered mask|| would seem
so just hope ||idol|| works
yeah at that point id just do a new world and do it all over again
hopefully
anyway, gl with the|| pantheons||
||yeah im on pantheon 3 and its getting kinda difficult but i prob wont rly struggle till p4||
its a good sign if you dont feel too much of a struggle on ||p3||, you got this 
||have you returned to the hunter to actually get the achievement after getting 162/162?||
||yeah im on great nailsage sly and im slowly getting closer||
yes
surely...
heloo btw
i have the mark
not for that
achievement trigger is the interract button
||you need more enemies for the achievement than for the mark. Try returning now.||
go back, check again
||how many entries did you have at that point?||
No you dont? Or did it change
i think only one less than i have now
what? Maybe I'm misremembering let me check
||The 146 for the mark is the same as the 146 for the achievement ||
either way, ||interracting with the hunter with your extra entries, may retrigger the achievement flag||
so try doing that
ok ill try again
Idk who send it
i didnt so
its in disc
bot doesnt have log for that?
art disc
I dont have help logs
ive only been on discord for like 2 weeks so
Yes you aren't in danger of getting banned
theyre not a mod
ik
they have perms to ban i think
thats the mods that do
correct if wrong
I do not
theyre modding staff, not mod
damn, ig no than
||actually there seem to be one less required for keen hunter?
Total is 168. Keen Hunter requires 147. True hunter all but 21||
it went to art disc, i pinged the mods
168?
wut
it's almost the same from your standpoint
no
i though 164
nice 👍
Any charm suggestion for ||radiance, am trying to get ending 3||
164 get counted. 168 exist
tf im missing lmao
I was fairly certain its 146, not 147
||> There are 146 entries which are required for the Keen Hunter achievement. ||
from the wiki
maybe it's wrong
do the ||grimmkins and zotelings|| count as extra ?
i thought they were all numbered
the ones that don't increase the count are ||weathered mask, void idol, seal of binding and hunter's mark|| iirc
Those are the ones in between 146 and 164
no chance
||mask|| def increases, i did that pickup recently
it doesn't
aint no way i can be that blind
you are iirc
It aligns with what I said so I believe it
welp, i rest my case
ive picked up seal and mark and it seemed to increase the total
||but for hunters mark it's all but these so all but 21 meaning it's 147||
what are you trying to say
i didnt even know ||seal was grimm troupe||, im fake
||path of pain is Grimm troupe||
you are fake
They dont
Thats crazy
hello 
Im going to the wiki server and ask
I'm honestly more thinking they miscounted for one of the two
||hive knight|| maybe?
||The hunter achievement stuff always confused me||
I'll see what the wiki says for that specifically
yk why dont we just agree we need a lot of entries for the ||keen hunter|| i already have most of those ones that dont count so i doesnt help me much
it says it's required for both
well there seems to be an error in the wiki. That's important. Or something more to be learned. Which is also important
||Hunters mark is the 22nd||
||in the list it's treated as a normal enemy and required tho||
oh...
that makes sense
than again, maybe it does
||https://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=1805741189||
im confused
its in here afterall
Yeah the list nonsen f send was correct
so you need 147 actually?
^
They should add ||hunter's mark|| here imo
it would be correct and funny
Guys ||p3||. ||Steady body and longnail or strength||
||strenght is more important imo, but if you like steady body you should find a way to fit it into your build with strenght||
||sb, strength and qs leave me with four notches. Shaman and grub song or spell twister soul catcher||
||eater???||
don't wrong react me
||shaman is more important again, if you want to use twister do so instead of gsond, and steady body||
||its too much notches, soul eater is only useful if you're doing a spell build or want to be overcharmed||
Not saying it's the best option, but just throwing this out here: ||quick focus||. Also ||soul catcher|| is good, just not the best.
true, its very playstyle dependent afterall
also hello
Do you need to kill something for it to be in ||your hunter journal?||
not always
For example ||god tamer||
there are a ||few entries you get from interractions||
that1 yes
Im having serious skill issues getting that far 😭
Thank you, i got those all done!
Hi, i need to find a mod for that will let me bind downslash to one key
somethintg like bind anything for silksong
i had a moid that let me do that a while ago but i cant find it now
Better to ask in #modding-discussion, they are a lot more likely to know over there.
i'm stuck on the second ||hornet|| fight to get ||kings brand||
For ||hornet 2||:
||Hit the spikes as soon as they appear. Be patient, and keep in mind that just because you were able to punish a move easily in the first fight doesn't mean you can here.||
thanks
i'm getting destroyed by her
Not unusual, she's hard.
that fight gives me nightmares
i use ||long nail, dashmaster||, i am low on charms
On ||charm notches||? Maybe a little.
k, i'll try
also to add to the ||hornet2 fight, try not to predict her moves, but react instead, this is much easier to do if you limit your vertical movement to only when she is actually doing an attack so you dont get caught out in midair having a hard time trying to dodge, also you can heal twice after every stagger||
^
thanks, that helps a lot, i kept jumping
I was doing ||p3 all bindings||, and died on ||hornet 2||. Haven’t been able to make it back
Iirc you can play very aggressively bc she is quite frail
this fully depends on when you get there
True, im assuming like 7 masks
you can get there very early, or just not find stuff
Do you have ||strength and quick slash?||
no
Oh
i use ||long nail||?
Unnecessary spoilers, ask to see their charms, not name drop ones they might not have.
i'vve been fighting her right now
honestly, its great to try to help, and even nicer to be reasonable, so props to you
I tried to post something, but every time SpoilerBot tells me to put it in spoiler mode. What exactly am I supposed to mark as a spoiler?
||dash||
Thanks
You can click on the grey rectangle in the bots message to see what the spoiler is.
Hello everyone,
First of all, I want to clarify that I’m using Google Translate, so I apologize if some parts are unclear.
For context, I tried installing mods on my game, but after getting tired of them, I decided to remove them (although I’m not sure I did it correctly).
Unfortunately, after launching my main save file again, the issue shown in the video started happening. I can’t do anything except attack, and I can only ||dash|| once when the game starts.
Please help me if possible, and if the save is unrecoverable, please let me know honestly.
I think the issue may be related to the Pale Court mod.
Thank you very much
btw, you can just spoiler the whole message if you are asking for stuff, ppl who help will check anyway
But honestly, if you're asking questions, no harm just spoiling the entire message.

In the know problems section ^
Why did ||forgotten crossroads|| turn ||infected||
you have progressed the games plot/lore
Lore wise, ||the infection is leaking out even stronger||. The in game trigger was either ||killing someone important or getting a very powerful ability (being vauge so I don't spoil the other one)||.
I beat the ||broken vessel|| so idk if that has to do with it
That's it
Because||it got infected||
its the ability than
the ability part of this
so killing ||broken vessel||
I got these for ahh ||wings|| now
||you can unlock more areas now , shocked I know||
Also, why are you clicking on spoilers if you're still in your first playthough? That is a terrible way to spoil the game for yourself.
I got spoiled from tt so i already know abt all the cool bosses💔
I’m making sure to not spoil myself for silksong
Would it be hard to try and 112 the game for my first time playing?
i mean nothing is stopping you
I dont want to miss anything but I’ve played Elden Ring and i missed a lot in y first playthrough
cant really lock yourself out of much afterall
Yes. 112 is hard, but there's no difference if you do it on your first or 10th playthough.
in hk you can (nearly) always go back
Should i look up a tutorial, I’m not sure how to start
I think you should go for it, it's fun!
if you have time, than probably dont
its very cool to find the stuff yourself
And if you do want to resort to looking stuff up (no shame asking here btw), then I would lookup a checklist rather than a video.
Alright, i just got ||monarch wings and the upgraded dive|| so im go explore some more
id say 90% of the stuff in hk is very findable if you just look around for long enough, but whatever isnt will easily get answered here as Ben mentioned
Also, idk if you've even beat the game yet. That should be first priority.
actually 1 of the only things you can kinda lock yourself out of
nvm you just got ||wings||, ik you haven't
Nah i haven’t played it fully, and this is the very first game that I’ve ever played on keyboard and mouse
on this, ||try to finish the game at least before you start feeling like you have near everything, a good benchmark is charms, if you have like 3/5th you have a good chance to be able to finish if you have explored a lot||
||finishing doesnt end your savefile||
Also just follow the story and you will run into the end. Sooner or later.
I got around 10-15
I’m gonna explore ||deep nest|| next
i mean we will not spoil you on req to finish, but it is 100% that you cannot finish at this moment
||deepnest|| can be rough at 1st, but it grows on u
Good luck, I hope you are not arachnophobic.
never.
Which I am not doing to save my life
I went there after getting the ||lamp|| and i just turned around
but like rando
valid tbh
There were too many opps
i wanted to again say you will get used to them, but ill get yelled at by Ben
You will get used to it if you're not arachnophobic
Which I am
Also a new player is not spending 50 hours there btw
thats unfortunate, mb, hope i wasnt too insensitive
Not at all lol
been told i am so many times
Can u ||upgrade the nail|| more then once?
I upgraded once with that dude outside ||city of tears || but i didn’t know if i could do it more
Just always backtrack, the map in this game is very friendly for remembering interesting spots you cant immediately access
So just re-explore everytime i get a new ability
kinda
a good way to see where you havent been is that if the map has a rough cut off instead of an actual edge for a transition from a room, you likely havent been there yet
so check the rooms with such parts
Also, put pins on your map when you come across an area you can't reach (||like a ledge you couldn't get up to without wings||), then when you get a new ability, you know where they are.
Where do i get pins
did you use pins on your 1st playthru?
I didnt mean to reply to u mb
Constantly
I ran out too many times
||Iselda shop||
damn, never heard some1 using them, they are made for exactly that tho, so ye
have fun!
No, it was scripted, dw
how do i get in here???
Come from the other side
Show full map
Why the heck do the || volatile zotlings deal 2 contact dmg||
One spawned on me when I jumped and immediately lost 2 || lifeblood||
Help with ||2nd hornet fight||. Lmk if I should do sum else before
How many masks and what nail?
7 mask, ||channeled nail||,but would u recommend me go to ||crystal peak|| and get the ||pale ore||there to upgrade it again
It's possible with what you have
For ||hornet 2||:
||Hit the spikes as soon as they appear. Be patient, and keep in mind that just because you were able to punish a move easily in the first fight doesn't mean you can here.||
Best charm build for it?
What you have is fine.
Could go for ||qs st sc|| if you wanted to be more spell based
My main thing is using the last ||charm notch|| which is best for last one
Yea you don't have very good 1 ||notch|| charms. ||sb|| is probably the best, but that's why I suggested going for 3-2-2
When is it best to use ||spells in the fight||
Whenever you 1. can 2. dont need soul for healing 3. won't get punished for it
in || grimm ab nail arts take significantly longer to register whenever I release the attack key, is this a hardware problem from me pressing, holding, and releasing my x key too often in a short timeframe or has anybody else experienced this ||
What about this? ||quick slash, Long nail, and soul Catcher or spell twister?||
Better than what you have right now
Which tho, ||soul catcher or spell twister?||
||Spell twister has a great effect on spells, but no effect on healing. Soul catcher has an decent effect on both. Your choice.||
Also is ||descending dark worth using in the fight or just fireball(2nd ver.)?||
||Ddark is 1000% worth it for the iframes||
What timings tho
Whenever you need iframes or have extra soul
Ight ty
||ddark also deals more damage than shade soul||
depending on your proximity to the enemy
it's also used as a second ||shade cloak|| when it isn't ready

TYSM
WWWWWWWW
Now which do I go to next?
Would you rather do the more climatic one first or second?
2, also Now which build should I do when traversing?
Then keep exploring ||kedge||. Also idk, that's really personal preference.
does anyone know how to get up there
Come from the other side
i cant get up there
The other side is not acessed from ||greenpath||
oh, i have to progress some more?
this is what my map looks like so far
ive explored as much as i could before i got the ||monarch wings||
It is acessed from an area below ||greenpath|| which you do not have the map for yet
and i havent done ||deep nest|| yet
alright
how do i get the map for the area in between ||city of tears and the ancient basin||?
Have you been there yet?
Then why didn't you just say ||waterways|| lol
^ made it sound like you've never been there
||Royal waterways|| is the name. The map is on the left, before the drop down to the bench.
ill go look for it
So I uh finally check on my ||grubs||, and got all of this… should I go to ||ancient basin and put in fountain?, I alr gave 1k to it||
Yeah
Or buy any of this?
Buy both of them instead of the ||fountain||
Do these actually serve a purpose? Or is it better to ||sell to person in cot||
Just sell and lore
||it's the lifeblood arcane egg the only item you cna permanently miss?||
||Does anyone come to this place? Or does it stay closed||
Someone will come if you save them
Yo wait how many places have you explored so far
Plus like almost every upgrade
Help me, whats the easiest ||charm for the 24th one to buy the final charm notch from the lady? Ik there is 1 more from her but I am waiting to buy it when I buy the charm notch, will be 25||
||dream shield, dream catcher, quick focus from the lady||
||also fragile charms yea||
||fungal wastes. Leg eater||
He has not one but 3 that are important for late game
But ||greed is good||😔
||Colloseum of fools||
For mid game
Loll i hate ||doing colo|| a lot tbh

Just did that, got my ||8th notch, how many are there? Also is there a way to make them not fragile anymore||
🥹
11 and yes
You'll see later dont worry now
How do I get the other ones, beside ||coloseum|| hate it btw
Lol see what im saying
Also, how many donyou have again
You sure you want to know?
Or you wanna explore
Ah 8
Also when does the ||crossroads become infected? What part of game?||
||either getting wings or a dreamer||
Soon
Sure dc
:>
“soon” 
||im curious. Did you fight someone in basin||
Nah now lol I haven’t been back to the ||crossroads in so long and I came back to sulubra and saw it was infected and was wondering when did this happen lol||
many a time
Oh sorry wrong tag hahaha
@junior vigil
Ah alr
Then you already got it
Ye got the ||wings|| best item oat in hk
I thought you were just wondering
Best indeed
prob yea
So I how do I get the other ||notches aside from colo||
||the colo one is easy actually so dont be scared. The other 3, i wanna know where else you got them from||
||grimm, water||
Unless you get from him
What does ||water mean||
What is area that is water
||assuming hes gonna need the onw from canyon as well?|| right?
Just got my ||8th mask||
Nicee
Real question; do I do the ||Grimm child thingy first or go to fog and try to beat a dreamer?||
||Dreamer, faster simpler||
You can do anything. ||grimm is supposed to be late game but the first tasks for him are easy||
||grimm is mid game at most, NKG is pretty late game||
I mean qualifies
Lol
Ok I fking hate ||infected crossroads|| worst thing is it blocks off paths
But I lowkey want to go to ||crystal peak, get the pale ore and get coiled nail upgrade||
You have soooo many options
Have fun and do what you want
Thats how you enjoy it

Well got ||coiled nail||
Don't use ||Thorns||
What specifically? Any bosses in particular?
You mean ||dash slash||?
You have ||elegant key|| so you can get ||shade soul|| in ||soul sanctum||

No,||quick slash||
no it's a charm
||break the floor near where you got dash slash||
I don't think I have any ||spells||
||vs|| and ||dive|| are your ||spells||
Uhh || pure vessel markoth and failed champion ||
Imo ||failed champ|| is really easy, it's just a faster ||false knight||
mostly ignore ||the rocks in failed champion fight it's better to take one mask of damage instead of two ||
Oh alr
except for when he's in his tantrum
If you just stay close to him then most rocks will be bodyblocked
For || failed champion you can damage tank and spam nail hits until he staggers, then dream nail him for soul while hitting his armor between each dnail/heal to reset his stagger, then once you’re healed to full hit him in the head and damage tank until he’s staggered again||
This my || charm build ||, (ignore that some are missing it's an old pic)
OK so ||use the shade soul to defeat the Watchers||?
Alr thanks
i'd change ||steady body and compas for strength bc sharp shadow is rlly useful for pure vessel||
Its not buh
its only useful if you were already reliant on it from the start
It doesn’t do much
In which its still making the fight slower, harder, and riskier
OK so I gotta question.
If there's ||a boss fight that feels impossible to beat, then that means there's some skill I don't have but need to beat it||?
Which one?
Iirc no
You wouldnt be able to even reach it
But if it feels impossible then likely you are undergeared, just not that you need
If it feels impossible to beat then ||getting another skill might help you||
The thing is ||I can only use a limited amount of charms at any given time, so it feels not worth it||
||charms are 100% worth it
||
There’s no drawback most of the time
well yeah I had a time like that lol ||there was a boss that I fought like 15-20 times and couldn't beat him.. but then I switched my charms to better suit my playstyle against that boss (like I was getting hit a lot, I got a heal build) and beat him in like 2 more attempts :D||
||charms|| do help a lott
The only real one is ||that I can only get a small handful (out of 40) at any point in the game. Currently for me only five, but the max is probably not much more than that||
You have 5 ||notches|| rn?
||7 notches||, which ||fits 5 charms||
Most of those 40 are not worth it
I honestly don't know. I haven't filled in the entire map yet, but I acquired all the parts of it from the mapmaker
is there a ||boss|| you're struggling against?
Two.
||The Collector and the Watcher Knights||
oh
Can I see your inventory?
ig one ability can make it easier but it's not really necessary
Maybe use that ||pale ore|| and ||elegant key||
explore ||crystal peaks|| if you're really struggling 
What does the ||elegant key|| do?
What's in there?
Both of those give you an upgrade
I'm assuming the ||elegant key unlocks a door somewhere?||
OK I'll give that a try next time around
you want me to spoil it? 😭
Eh probably not then
aight xd
heyooo
I'll stick with @primal ibex's advice for now
oof
nothing at all xd
which is why I'm here

i'm about to lose my nitro today ig XD
😭 noooo
no more cute stickers huh
hahaha you got good ones ngl
sadly
Thanks! But I’ll try to get it legit one more time after the clean install. I haven’t tried everything yet, and I really want to see the cutscene inside the game to finally check that box for myself. Using tools to trigger the achievement will be my absolute last resort. Wish me luck!
i just started playing hk today and im not sure how to get past this guy. any tips?
It requires some abilities to go past him
where do i get some abilities
Explore the area u are in for now
Wrong place wrong time
Explore somewhere alse
If you cant go there now, maybe you can go later
ok cool ty
Welcome to metrovania motherplonker
yeah
do yall think i can run hk on my school pc with min-req
Probs?😭
yes
maybe?
what is best combo charm for || Grimm Trouper|| i just suck at that boss, my best combo that i had was || King soul, glowing womb and quick slash|| and some how survived little longer
||KING SOUL?!
KIIING SOUL???? WHY YOU MAKE YOURSELF SUFFER??||
never use ||glowing womb and kingsoul, womb is just horrible in general, and kingsouls way too expensive to be anywhere near worth, if you are struggling with staying alive you can use quick focus, mark of pride, even fragile heart||
some basic tips for that fight is to|| just try stay in the middle of the arena, and to try and figure out a foolproof method to dodge each of his attacks, since they never intertwine learning each separately is fine||
||get that shit of king soul outa there, put quick slash, long nail fragile heart for surviability||
becaus im a idiot
Hmmm idk, i can't find timing to normaly heal, most of time ||grimm trouper|| hit me after i heal most of time ):
-_-
there is a healing window after every attack, the more easy ones are after ||spikes, and after bats||
idk i more skill issue, idk how i beat ||hollow knight|| and then beat the game with 100%
Becouse the things in dlcs also count, you might have gotten couple % from dlcs
||That's how you get 112%||
yea i know
Importent question,
||Do or do you not respect the Grimm?||
||Hmmm idk i hate him but also like his ost||
||i respect him||
Good enough
819 new messages thats the biggest number i’ve seen in discord new messages and its in one day
wow
anyways i just go 200 hrs on hollow knight :D
Wow
I got like 400h 
yo which is better|| im trying to do all radiant||
||left also know you have space for a single notch charm between strength and mop||
Tho it can vary a bit per boss what works best but you should be able to figure out what you need when you struggle on certain things
i only 46h and 36h to beat the game
The postgame is huge tho
the problem is|| i wanna add long nail into the first pic build but i cant i want to mash up shaman, qslash, strength, long nail, mop||
is it possible or no
or is there smth else
I'd just suggest not using ||longnail||
But you can try anything
And builds that are best vary quite a lot per boss
For stationary bosses range doesnt do as much as bosses that move a lot
i have only ||a spare notch for a chamr then mop||
ykw im ||gonna use sprintmaster ||
||soul catcher doesnt give much of a difrance||
guys this is how my map looks rn which path should i go to now? many places are blocked, my ||charms are: long nail, compass, soul catcher||
explore the ||bottom left of crossroads or the bottom right of greenpath. Crossroads is easier and more direct but both work fine||
so bottom of ||anc mound in crossroads and the place near the stone sanc in greenpath||?
||for crossroads, much lower than ancestral mound. You can see the "opening" that's unexplored clearly on your map as that gap. Maybe that's what you meant tho.
And yeah for greenpath it's near the stone sanctuary||
yea thats what i meant, tysm btw
no worries. Have fun exploring!
||As a general information for the map system which will help when exploring:
Those "gaps" that I referred to and you spotted yourself, they always mean there is an unexplored exit there. Now, whether you can reach them or not is not clear, however if you ever don't know how to progress, you really just need to check out those places.
It's best to keep note of or mark on your map what place needs which "kind of" ability so you don't have to check everything every time.
Additionally, easier to spot, when you buy a map some parts are already sketched out. Exploring those parts will fill them with color after sitting on a bench. So any parts that are not coloured in are unexplored||
how to even get those abilities tho, i figure i need some kind of scaling ability or something to jump higher and smt to cut down the ||vines||? idk man exploring is more complicated than beating bosses
||you'll get more abilities over time. If you use the information about the gaps that indicate unexplored areas, you'll find ways to new places that will eventually lead to new abilities. Pretty soon, if you follow the rirections I recommended, you'll get more stuff that'll allow you to move to new places much more freely||
the longer you play, the easier it'll get to move around and reach places
there's a map
not a separate one
||the hive is the only place where you don't buy a map to speciifcally see it in the map right right||
||either you didn't find it or he already left||
cause the map that covers that area is only buyable later in progression
ohh kk
hi @shut sparrow hru
thx
realtively late in the whole agmes progression in fact
is using the ||ww compass||too much a bad habit?
alright. Having a headache and need to study for exam tomorrow but balatro makes me happy
Nah
lol gl with your exam
did a bit more ||rad 1.0 attempts like friday||
thanks
what about the ||notch||?
got one back today and got the best one 
niceee
do i need to try and memorise the map for the end game or can i just carry it with me to the endgame?
||it's one notch, not much is better, plus you'll use other charms while in battle||
||on a second play through I recommend unequipping it. It'll help you learn the map and rely less on it a lot. For a first playthrough it's completely fine though. Just don't use it for bosses||
alr
hello
do you have any consistent tech for evading ||flying nosk ceiling spit thingy?||
||dive||
||for the other one, although it's much easier, you can jump away and shade dash through||
||still struggling at The Pure Vessel
||
what are you struggling with?
you got this man
amn
||mainly speed, like, dash + triple slash Ship struggles dodging||
||always anticipate an attack. That doesn't mean staying far away from PV of course, in fact usually you should be close and attacking, but make sure you're always ready to jump (and pogo).
When you do jump, don't jump too high. You always gotta land before pv does the next attack||
well i always ||parry triple, but you can just pogo without parry too, dashing thru is kinda tight tho||
||would ddive work as a panic button if Ship doesn't want to waste shade dash||
||whenever Ship panics, they just go shade dash through, having nothing for the d aggers||
||I'd only dash for daggers and if you get parried||
||daggers|| should be d||ashed|| imo, idk
||yeah try not to do that. Really focus on keeping your shade dash for the daggers..If it still happens, you can dive too, yes. But ideally you keep the shade cloak||
alrighty, ty
gonna try again soon
WE all love ||primal aspids||😂😂
I've never had a hard time with them lmfao, I dislike the insane aimbot but ig it's cuz I went to ||kingdoms edge|| late
i went to ||kingdoms edge without having my nail upgraded||
||I HATE MARKOTH||
Can u send inv
hardest boss in the game btw 😭
this?
Yes
||ascended markoth|| is frying me 🥀
good, now do ||radiant|| in ||p5||
one day
Get under him and ||abyss shriek|| until he’s like off your screen from the knockback
ok ill try it
I’ve just beaten the ||5th Pantheon|| for the 5th time now, even after a clean reinstall and wiping all my configs... and still no cutscene or achievement.
Well, it is what it is. I guess I’ll just have to wait until my 1660 Ti is fixed
||you cant do that in ascended theres no floor and im pretty sure he would have more hp too||
||spam dash slash||
LMAO YOU CAN JUST DO THAT?!?!?
what are your charms, jesus christ 💀
that is with ||old nail, dream warrior health scales with nail level||
with a ||single nail upgrade hell have enough health for this to not work||
320 damage, 250 health
it’s really up to you, but the morally correct answer is no
both outcomes give an achievement
guess im not getting all the achievemnts in this game then
