[winter jolt]

I mainly wanna try steelsoul so I can actually learn what my mistakes are instead of shrugging off mistakes because I can go at it again

[scenic frost]

A perma-no-hit run

[winter jolt]

please god no

[merry dove]

Absolute Radiant

[scenic frost]

That is literally absolute radiant

[quasi lark]

That would be a bad idea, also team cherry said they wouldn't be working on hollow knight after they've done everything they've promised so

[scenic frost]

Don't care make goldsoul NOW

[quasi lark]

I mean, it's not that hard, I could prolly make you the mod in like a couple hours

[long pumice]

I'd prob die to the first vengefly tbh

[merry dove]

Hey guys, wanna hear the most disgusting charm build of your life that is really good for SEVERAL bosses on RADIANT???!!?!?!

[winter jolt]

I have some pretty bad hand-eye coordination so I often get messed up with attack patterns but I am learning

I love how I have 108 hours on the game and I still suck

[merry dove]

Baldur Shell, Grimmchild, Weaversong, Grubsong, Sprintmaster, Stalwart Shell, Dreamshield

[quasi lark]

Tbf on switch I got hit by the literal first enemy you see on my switch run

[scenic frost]

BREAKING NEWS: Team cherry quits silksong to add goldsoul mode, fans livid at such

[merry dove]

I would probably die in greenpath, I could maybe make it to mantis village but it's a nope after that

[quasi lark]

If you really want after I eat dinner I'll see if I can make that

[long pumice]

yea that could easily be me

[scenic frost]

Zotesoul when

[winter jolt]

That charm build....
Eeeunnghhh

How would baldur Shell help???

[merry dove]

Zoteboat

[scenic frost]

Zote playable character when

[long pumice]

i still don't know how to dodge normal mantis properly

[merry dove]

It grants invincibility so you can spam hits. Stalwart to make it better

[winter jolt]

The only exceptionally good charms there are Grubsong and Sprintmaster

At least in my opinion

[umbral vessel]

ive never used stalwart before

[scenic frost]

All jokes aside kinda crazy how Hollow Knight is Team Cherry's first game outside game jams

[scenic frost]

You're back

[winter jolt]

Hungry Knight update when

[scenic frost]

Team Cherry releases silksong but hungry knight ate it (the 6 years were a lie)

[winter jolt]

NOOOOO

[quasi lark]

I mean, they spent two years on it, and the game isn't super polished behind the scenes

[merry dove]

Ok listen. Grimmchild for damage, songs for soul, sprintmaster to chase bosses while invincible, dreamshield because I invented the build for oblobbles and didn't bother finding a better one, the shells to get about 10 whole seconds of invincibility, all you need to kill most "weird" bosses like god tamer, hive knight, zote, oblobbles especially

[jovial hull]

Spaghetti coded 2 year indie game made by a small dev team

[merry dove]

Me neither. Only ever used it for this build and that is IT. I refuse to use the charm otherwise

[umbral vessel]

honestly i wanna make my pfp a grimmkin novice they're so adorable

[jovial hull]

On a shoe string, community funded budget

It is crazy, I agree.

[umbral vessel]

so teeny and squishable looking

[quasi lark]

I should have purple name too noe

[umbral vessel]

yuhh purple gang

[scenic frost]

I know that but the fact they managed to make the game look like a real-ass professionally made game is insane, despite how messy it is. They did things in such a way where you wouldn't be able to tell how messed up it is.

[merry dove]

I want to squish it, not in a playful way. A very harmful, devious, evil, chaotic and destructive type of way

[umbral vessel]

[winter jolt]

Actually
On a majorly unrelated note
I was browsing through the Playstation store
And I found a game called "Elypse"
And it reminded me of Hollow Knight
The main character looked like the main Knight dude and Elypse is also metroidvania
So I might buy it to try it out

[quasi lark]

The art's great yeah, but most of the messy stuff's just hidden by it being dark

[merry dove]

Guys please help me with something

[quasi lark]

Whaddya need

[scenic frost]

And now they're spending 6 whole years making silksong. If Hollow Knight is what they can do in 2 years while cutting corners then silksong is gonna be biblical

[scenic frost]

Yet it doesn't show in the gameplay. It appears polished.

[winter jolt]

God I need to sleep
School starts Tuesday
Okay goodnight everyone

[merry dove]

I REALLY want a good metroidvania, bullet-hell or parkour game. I've already played Undertale & Deltarune, Realm of the Mad God, Celeste and obviously Hollow Knight. I WANT ANOTHER SIMILAR GAME

[quasi lark]

Just dont overhype it, even tho it's gonna be good it prolly wont be the best game ever made

[merry dove]

Using "biblical" like that is actually amazing I love that

[quasi lark]

If you hype it up too much it'll be a dissapointment in your mind

[scenic frost]

No it won't. I'm so excited it won't really matter if its not "the best game ever made." I'll just be happy to get more hollow knight content.

[quasi lark]

Fair

[scenic frost]

I got into hollow knight in July so I didn't have to wait these six long years for silksong like yall did. I've a fresh mind

[long pumice]

true hollow knight enthusiast

[scenic frost]

And the trailers look dope

[quasi lark]

In only 10 short years team cherry will finally consider making the abyss dlc

[hushed trail]

Weaversong doesn’t give soul.

[scenic frost]

Already looks so much more refined than hollow knight. I think it's reasonable to expect some good stuff.

[merry dove]

More hollow knight content = good. HK is the most fun I've ever had while gaming. It is amazing. As soon as I neared 112% I was wishing there was more content. I considered getting mods. At one point I wanted to learn how to code so I could make more hk content. I'm so ridiculously starved of hk content that I will eat up anything silksong gives like a prisoner with a moldy infested apple. Except that apple is in much better condition

[merry dove]

No but it does with Weaversong

[scenic frost]

HK is quite literally the best indie game I've ever played. Not really saying much but I still love this game.

[jovial hull]

My man we have an entire fucking fan made dlc

Mods are awesome

[quasi lark]

We do?

[merry dove]

Pale Court

[burnt heath]

We do!

[quasi lark]

I've not done much modding

[quasi lark]

Do you have a link?

[scenic frost]

Mods are just entire fan made dlc for every game where modding is possible

[burnt heath]

Its on scarab+

[scenic frost]

Doesn't that like just add 5 bosses

[hushed trail]

How is stalwart shell

[quasi lark]

No clue what that is

[midnight dirge]

You couldnt be more wrong

[merry dove]

But still, yeah it adds some bossfights and charms but that's not exactly what I want. I want the excitement of exploration that I can't have until silksong

[burnt heath]

Its more than any other mod has, plus it also adds new sprites music charms etc

[scenic frost]

So what exactly does it add. I haven't seen much beyond the fights with the knights and the cool new charms

[burnt heath]

Also its 7 fights i think

[quasi lark]

Mk, I'll try that in a bit

[jovial hull]

And that still doesn’t mean it’s not spaghetti coded garbage

[burnt heath]

Plus a pantheon

[merry dove]

After getting hit with Baldur Shell it makes you invincible for a longer time

[midnight dirge]

5 new charms 7 new bosses new main menu

[hushed trail]

I’d rather not waste 4 charm notches for that. Better learn dodge

[scenic frost]

Ok so basically what I thought it was

[quasi lark]

If possible can you throw me a link? I have horrible luck when it comes to finding things on google

[merry dove]

It's to cheese bosses radiant

[scenic frost]

Ok mister debbie downer

[hushed trail]

Not really. It’s much easier to learn how to dodge them than to try to use that

[jovial hull]

Also new music, new dream areas, and a bunch of other stuff

Including a new parkour area

[burnt heath]

#1057825333841240104

[scenic frost]

!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! I gotta get there NOW

[burnt heath]

The faq

[quasi lark]

Alrighty, thank you

[jovial hull]

Or just the pins in modding discussion

#modding-discussion message

[scenic frost]

I only tried out modded hollow knight recently

[merry dove]

You know the room in greenpath next to the bench and no eyes, with the polkas or whatever they're called that come out of the walls and shoot projectiles? There's a little moss crawler that comes out of the ceiling and crawls left to right... except it kept crawling left, off the roof and through the air, until it froze and did nothing

[midnight dirge]

It also has path of pain abyss edition

[quasi lark]

Alrighty, see yall, I'mma go eat

[scenic frost]

All I did was fight a few pale court bosses and take out my anger on NKG with hollow point

[merry dove]

Paint master Sheo is ome of the best bossfights hands-down

The color coding is amazing

[scenic frost]

mmmmmmmmmmmmmm idk about that one chief

[jovial hull]

Dude, I love this game, that’s why I spend hours and hours TASing it, but when you can do…this…

[hushed trail]

I love sheo

[jovial hull]

It’s a little hard not to laugh

[hushed trail]

Not the most difficult but I enjoyed him enough

[scenic frost]

They still managed to make it in a way where most didn't notice too many bugs upon playing it

[merry dove]

For some reason I keep thinking Sheo is a girl. It's such a feminine name and he looks kinda feminine too. Idk if that's just me but it's weird

[long pumice]

took me 40min to finish my breakfast (I'm so tired)

[jovial hull]

Yeah but that doesn’t mean it’s not 100% pure spaghetti code

[jovial hull]

casually does 200 damage with flukenest

[scenic frost]

I never denied that fact. That's exactly what I'm saying. Imagine what they'll do without spaghetti code.

[hushed trail]

Voila

[jovial hull]

100% silksong is still gonna have spaghetti code

[tired current]

Meh

[merry dove]

The fishing mini-game in silksong is sooo ridiculously fun and op. I got 5 mask shards from it bro they gotta fix it

[burnt heath]

Do not deny da gay😔

[scenic frost]

By the way thank you it is a very underrated usage of the word.

[merry dove]

What hellish combination of light particles just flew into my eyeballs

[jovial hull]

With the new movement, it’s gonna take TASers/glitch hunters like 2 weeks to find more game breaking momentum conservation

[scenic frost]

Idk man

[scenic frost]

So wait since when did it become considered spaghetti code for your game to be cracked by glitch hunters and speedrunners. That's standard for tons of games.

[merry dove]

Winged Nosk, Elder Hu and Absrad at F TIER?!?!

[scenic frost]

I'm not talking about Hollow Knight btw, I'm talking about the idea that the fact in general makes a game "broken"

[burnt heath]

Well the spaghetti code also comes from modders, where it isnt as usual

[jovial hull]

Dude, the variable that hovers whether or not the knight is in a swimming state or not isn’t the same as the variable named “swimming”

[scenic frost]

Read my other message

[jovial hull]

Also take a singular sideways glance at the history of flukenest

[hushed trail]

Elder Hu is tied for the biggest most pathetic joke for a boss, winged nosk just got reduced to a boring infectious vengefly king, and I despise abs rad

[scenic frost]

Momentum shenanigans being discovered by speedrunners is common in gaming

[jovial hull]

I know

[scenic frost]

Not just in Hollow Knight

[jovial hull]

But what happened with flukenest

[scenic frost]

Yeah so how about you answer my question on this first instead of redirecting to flukenest

[jovial hull]

And the fact that greatslash is referred to as dash slash and dash slash is called “upslash”

[jovial hull]

Which question

[scenic frost]

This one

[jovial hull]

And a ton of other weird shit that I don’t remember or don’t want to delve into rn

[merry dove]

Marmu is the worst, Elder Hu is annoying but at least takes half a brain, winged nosk is underrated and much better than vfk, and absrsd honestly isn't that good but deserves c +

[scenic frost]

Winged nosk is not underrated it sucks

It's slightly harder vengefly king

[hushed trail]

Elder Hu takes no brains at all. It’s even worse if you have shade cloak.

[jovial hull]

I shouldn’t have correlated momentum conservation to spaghetti code, but HK’s code is still rly weird

[burnt heath]

Imo marmu is at least kinda fun to bounce around and it actually makes you think when to fight and when to flee, hu is just incredibly boring

[hushed trail]

He’s the exact same as vengefly king except for one attack

[scenic frost]

Yup, yer correct on that one

[jovial hull]

Also the way the game checks variables is so fucked that I’m pretty sure every variable in the game has been stored at one point or another

[hushed trail]

And abs rad is just me. I hate that moth to death I never want to fight it again

[brave blaze]

yeah but elder hu can just disappear out of the arena which makes his fight drag on

[merry dove]

Exact same but doesn't waste 5 years between attacks and doesn't spawn one-shot minions the whole time. The acid is probably one of the only uses in the game that I genuinely enjoy as an attack (FRICK YOU GOD TAMER)

[hushed trail]

Winged nosk is an even bigger disappointment than regular nosk. He’s even easier and copies vengefly king, except for the one attack where he goes to the ceiling and drops down infection. Not hard either

[brave blaze]

yeah

[hushed trail]

He does. The infection balloons

[merry dove]

Wnosk is better than regular Nosk, vfk and ascended vfk

[merry dove]

Not the whole time and it barely replaces a real attack

[brave blaze]

winged nosk is probably C in my eyes

[hushed trail]

How barely? It’s 2 minions still

[midnight dirge]

The acid spewing attack has gotten me more times than Id like to admit

[merry dove]

I meant because it doesn't waste an entire attack worth of time and it's a lot rarer than vfk

[hushed trail]

You can dash through it and pogo on winged nosk

[midnight dirge]

The hardest part about winged nosk is the hitbox

[jovial hull]

Wall cling, wall slide, wall jump, inventory, bench, swim, surface-water, grounded, falling, fireball, collecting, tilted, etc etc etc

[merry dove]

Okay this i don't understand. I've never had issues with pogoing it while it swoops by. People say it's as bad as sly's slash hit box but NAHH they just have skill issues tbh

[hushed trail]

It’s the exact same amount of time as vengefly king. It’s just a tad less used. Still very poorly thought and too easy for being that late into the game too

At least sisters of battle was actually a pretty great challenge in P5. Then you just have that mess

[midnight dirge]

Its most noticeable when it swings down

[hushed trail]

I’ve gotten hit by it a few times but it’s not too insulting

[graceful arch]

[hushed trail]

And I’ve never tried to jump over sly when he performed his great slash so I never get hit by that either

[graceful arch]

[midnight dirge]

I mean its not too bad but the times that I hit its head but actually dont and fall into it is considerable

[tired current]

I would make a tier list if I wasn’t on mobile

[hushed trail]

But yeah I’d pass that as the hardest part of the fight compared to everything else lmao

[merry dove]

I just realized, how come we refer to some enemies as "it" and some "them" when they're all sentient (except for pv)?

Nosk is really intelligent but we still call it an it

[scenic frost]

Because it can't talk and is more animalistic

[hushed trail]

If he was intelligent he would be a challenge

[merry dove]

Ah true

[hushed trail]

Anything more about my list?

[merry dove]

Reply to it so I can go to it fast. Too lazy

[tired current]

False Knight should be A tier at least

[midnight dirge]

What the fuck is radiance doing on f

[hushed trail]

Personal hatred

[scenic frost]

Reasonable

[hushed trail]

To be sure that’s abs rad

[merry dove]

Before I say anything, why are guardian, hornet and sisters all the gray statues and not real photos?

[tired current]

HoG

[scenic frost]

To differentiate

[midnight dirge]

Alt fights

[merry dove]

Ohhhhhh makes sense

[midnight dirge]

The normal hornet is protecter while the statue hornet is sentinel

[scenic frost]

You put failed champion and hollow knight in S

[hushed trail]

Yes I did

[scenic frost]

idk about that one chief

[hushed trail]

I loved hollow knight because of it not being a traditional final boss. It was the perfect storyteller

[midnight dirge]

Especially failed champion

[hushed trail]

And I had a ton ton of fun fighting failed champion

[tired current]

Lost Kin should be S

[hushed trail]

I loved most enhanced harder fights

most

[midnight dirge]

Also why is Mossy at F but soul warrior at C

[tired current]

Mantis Lords and Sisters should swap

[hushed trail]

Master

[midnight dirge]

I meant C sorry

[scenic frost]

You mean that the final boss is associated with light?

[scenic frost]

Which is soul tyrant

[hushed trail]

A tier

[scenic frost]

Ah good

[hushed trail]

Because I’m not a meme person I’m not ranking big moss charger higher than F. When looking at a boss, moss charger is just bad. It can beat it without having to move

[tired current]

Should I listen to my Catchy playlist or my Metal playlist

[midnight dirge]

Why does soul warrior get C

[scenic frost]

Soul warrior is not worthy of being a boss

It's basically just a harder regular enemy

[midnight dirge]

Ik

[hushed trail]

Because it was perfectly okay. I don’t think it was badly designed nor did I not enjoy it, which lets it barely beat D tier.

[tired current]

That should be a tier

[jovial hull]

Your placement of uumuu is a bit off there bud, try moving it down.

[scenic frost]

No it should be ranked in the normal enemies tier list

[midnight dirge]

Also Hive Knight should be higher because of the music alone

[tired current]

Yeah but the tier list maker still has his icon so it has to go somewhere

[jovial hull]

This is the only time any satisfaction has been gained from the uumuu fight

[hushed trail]

Soul warrior already beats most if not all dream warriors anyway

[tired current]

Hive knight is S tier

[midnight dirge]

You can make a new tier yknow

[merry dove]

S tier:
Sly is B
Maggot is A

A tier:

Zote is C
Broken vessel is S
Watcher knight is B

B tier:

Lost kin is S
God tamer is C
Soul master is A

C tier:

Brooding Mawlek is B
False knight is S
Gorb is B
Soul warrior is D
Collector is A

D tier:

Crystal guardian is B
Enraged guardian is B
Hive knight is A
Flukemarm is F
Xero is B

F tier:

Elder Hu is C
Absrad is B
Oblobbles are D

Those are my complaints

[tired current]

Ik

[scenic frost]

Uumu should be in c if godhome, b if quirrel

[jovial hull]

Quirrel sucks, F if Quirrel, b if godhome

[scenic frost]

Nah quirrel >>>

[midnight dirge]

Uumuu isnt that bad in godhome except for the times it decides that it hates you

[jovial hull]

Lies

[hushed trail]

You wanna know why I have Oblobbles as my most hated boss?

[scenic frost]

Quirrel makes it an endurance fight that isn't completely bullshit when you're trying to hit uumuu with a jellyfish

[hushed trail]

Radiant. Just radiant

[midnight dirge]

Bullet spam?

[tired current]

That is a skill issue

[merry dove]

Baldur Shell, Grimmchild, Weaversong, Grubsong, Sprintmaster, Stalwart Shell, Dreamshield

[jovial hull]

You’re gonna love this video then https://youtu.be/AjpHaQI8N1E?si=goFU4jaIAC3SzUv8

[hushed trail]

I beat every boss but abs rad on radiant you can’t say that

[scenic frost]

Oh THOSE THINGS

[merry dove]

I invented this charm build for oblobbles specifically

[tired current]

I just did

[hushed trail]

I’m talking about how annoying those rng balls were to beat on radiant

[merry dove]

Hehe balls

[scenic frost]

Hehe balls

[hushed trail]

And I think they are one of if not the worst designed boss in the game. That’s what puts them below markoth and abs rad

[jovial hull]

Hehe rng manip

[scenic frost]

Maybe I'm just dumb but at what point in the game do you fight them aside from godhome? I literally forgot. Was it colloseum of fools?

[merry dove]

Z tier:
Vfk
Uumuu
Gpz
Markoth
Marmu

[burnt heath]

I LOVE 💜 OBLOBBLES ‼️

[scenic frost]

die

[burnt heath]

Rude

[merry dove]

die

[tired current]

Markoth gets too much hate

[hushed trail]

First off, all of that is awful for Oblobbles, and second, You should never, ever, ever, use dream shield

[burnt heath]

Rude

[scenic frost]

He doesn't get enough

[lyric niche]

I didn't have much trouble with oblobbles rafiant

[tired current]

Marmu is also fun

[burnt heath]

[lyric niche]

Why use stalwart shell on radiant?

[jovial hull]

That is…terrible

[merry dove]

Nuh-uh, it worked really well, and dreamshield is because literally 100% of oblobbles is their random ahh projectiles. Yea shield sucks but it's good for obbls!

[jovial hull]

You know stalwarts shell increases I frames, right?

[hushed trail]

Dreamshield is imo the worst charm in the entire game. Especially for 3 completely wasted charm notches

[jovial hull]

Okay but heavy blow.

[tired current]

Joni’s

[burnt heath]

Have you met womb tho

[lyric niche]

No. Jonis exists

[tired current]

Joni’s is the worst charm

[solar sleet]

this is wrong in so many ways

[tired current]

There is no debate to be had

[jovial hull]

Have you met deep focus?

[scenic frost]

I feel like stalwart shell would be useless in oblobbles

[merry dove]

I used Jonis to beat nkg... am I the villain?

[jovial hull]

It’s useless in radiant as a whole.

[burnt heath]

Well deepfocus at least has some uses

[tired current]

It disables healing

[jovial hull]

No…no it doesn’t

[scenic frost]

The balls are too slow for the i frames to make a difference

[hushed trail]

Dreamshield’s only use is for a markoth cosplay

[lyric niche]

No point in using jonis literally use lifeblood core

[scenic frost]

Oh well duh

[merry dove]

I didn't have it

[burnt heath]

Yeah, like time saves in pop and soul saves in wp

[jovial hull]

Ismoil go back to #hell gn

[tired current]

Just use heart if you need health

[lyric niche]

Yeah

[scenic frost]

Anything that you need to focus for or helps you focus or only affects after you take damage is useless on radiant

[merry dove]

Baldur Shell

[hushed trail]

I used deep focus for the soul binding in the pantheons. It helped quite a bit

[real slate]

Should i eventually 112% the game or jus beat it an drop it

[scenic frost]

Baldur shell isn't TOTALLY useless like stalwart shell

[tired current]

112

[lyric niche]

112

[jovial hull]

Already gives enough ifrsmes to not waste 2 notches?

[merry dove]

112

[real slate]

Ight

[tired current]

112 is fun

[scenic frost]

112

[lyric niche]

Just equip shaman stone and kill the boss quickly

[hushed trail]

As for heavy blow I used it for 2 bosses. Markoth and Oblobbles

[real slate]

Nah bro I think imma 336 percent it

[jovial hull]

112, then there’s a lot more other content and if you have a pc, you can play mods. The mentality of “best and then drop” is dumb, and there’s so much replay ability and content that comes with HK

[merry dove]

The whole point of the build is to be invincible for as long as possible and kill them before baldur runs out, so letting stalwart double your time is super helpful

[jovial hull]

That’s…gonna take a lot of mask shard duping

[real slate]

I'm a switch player sadly

[scenic frost]

I'm gonna 224% it

Double the playtime

[merry dove]

I'm gonna 56% it

[real slate]

No no beat it 3 times bro

[tired current]

I’m going to 0% it

[onyx crystal]

Xbox

[jovial hull]

I’m gonna just TAS it

Like I normally do

[scenic frost]

I'm gonna speedrun it using hollow point

[jovial hull]

TASers don’t have their changes write to disk, so we can beat the whole game without making a single change to the save file

[jovial hull]

Submit it to the any% NMG category. Surely won’t get banned from speedrun.com

Surely…

[real slate]

Why do streamers either play it on pc or switch from what I've seen 💀

[jovial hull]

Bc those are the 2 most common?

[scenic frost]

They won't ban it if I purposefully make it the slowest one

[merry dove]

Who said they could make goldsoul mod

[jovial hull]

Yes they will

[burnt heath]

That makes it a double ban iirc

[hushed trail]

You have to use it to get another charm. I don’t care how bad of an excuse that is, it’s a reason to equip it. Dreamshield has no use

[scenic frost]

Me. I will learn.

[jovial hull]

@drowsy spear someone said doG luos

[tired current]

No spell

[real slate]

Is there any reason to do so?

[scenic frost]

Release date is 2036

[tired current]

Dreamshield can be used for that

[merry dove]

Lifeblood heart, Heart, lifeblood cocoon

[real slate]

Like on the switch side atleast

[drowsy spear]

DID SOMEONE DYS GOD SJROJB

[hushed trail]

Weaversong defenders crest

[lyric niche]

Makes spelless baldur

[tired current]

That’s impossible though

[lyric niche]

Easier

[burnt heath]

No not really

[tired current]

How are you going to pass the first baldur

[scenic frost]

Skill issue if you can't

[drowsy spear]

Hi Nix

[tired current]

You need either dreamshield or longnail

Therefore giving shield a use

[real slate]

Is 16 hours and not even having beaten broken vessel slow-

[jovial hull]

Not true, Actually

[tired current]

If it’s steel soul no spell you absolutely need shield

[jovial hull]

Also not true

[tired current]

Have they changed it?

[jovial hull]

No??

[drowsy spear]

You can do itemless baldur

[tired current]

Since when?

[scenic frost]

Just remove the baldur from the game easy peasy

[tired current]

Oh true

[merry dove]

Someone make a mod that detects boss attacks and shows exactly where is unsafe to be in the next second. So when absrad is doing her triple light thing you know exactly where to stand to heal safely, where to go in climbing phase, where dung/white defender will pop out of the ground etc. Yes that is absolutely cheating but it would make bossfights less stressful and it could help make memorizing attacks easier

[jovial hull]

Also there’s a setup with a shade that’s why more consistent for humans

[burnt heath]

Just remove everything but thk from the game

[burnt heath]

Well uh i dont think thats possible

[tired current]

Interesting

[hushed trail]

Ha, thanks for showing that. Dreamshield still useless

[brave blaze]

The house is quiet, everyone is asleep but me. I'm pouring a hot cup of tea, and the HK menu music is playing faintly from my laptop, perched on top of my blanket nest, where I will be returning shortly. Things are good

[tired current]

That’s news to me thanks

[jovial hull]

So no, on steel soul you can’t use the shade method

[tired current]

But Joni’s is still worse

[merry dove]

Why not?

[drowsy spear]

I just remembered I was supposed to do smth in god soul

[jovial hull]

Theoretically this is possible for humans, would just take hours of healing and slowly chipping away at the baldur

[drowsy spear]

But you don’t have infinite soul

[jovial hull]

(Or you can just get longnail and fury and kill it easy, thus still making shield useless)

[jovial hull]

The elder baldur spits mini baldurs, no?

[drowsy spear]

Oh yeah

[crude galleon]

I douth hours of that would be healing, mostly waiting for good rng

[drowsy spear]

I forgot that’s the whole thing with bald it’s

[scenic frost]

They should add random crits to hollow knight

[crude galleon]

No

[jovial hull]

A lot of waiting, but it is still possible, which means dreamshield is still pointless!

[drowsy spear]

Nix should I beat lava layer or god soul PoP

[scenic frost]

Every swing you have a 15% chance to do 3x damage

[merry dove]

Like the mod would know exactly what attack the boss is using from any cues (or just digging into the game itself), and it would display a red marking everywhere that a hurtbox will be in the next second. If nkg is doing his swoop n uppercut attack you'd know where the flames land right when he starts his dash

[scenic frost]

It's perfect

[jovial hull]

God soul dashless PoP imo

[burnt heath]

Tc after making 40 charms (25 are useless)

[jovial hull]

If that’s even possible-

[hushed trail]

As perfect as hero’s crit chances from smash ultimate

[scenic frost]

The mod when it reads the attack "swimming"

[delicate badge]

ismoil

[burnt heath]

Well with the spaghetti coding and way more stuff i sinply dont think thats possible

[drowsy spear]

Probably possible but I don’t think I can even do it normally

[delicate badge]

nix and zuggo

[burnt heath]

Omg hi "dessert girl (dessertwithnojob)"

[drowsy spear]

Because you have to do the whole thing pretty perfectly

Hi gwnj

[merry dove]

I don't see why it can't be possible, they could use a trained AI to just be like a communicative TAS bot telling a player how it sees

[jovial hull]

Well, they made 36, and dreamshield, sprintmaster, grimmchild, and iirc grubsong were not among them. Then they said “let’s make 4 new charms and make them all useless” and boom, the Grimm troupe update added 4 new charms and all of them were useless

[drowsy spear]

Although with joni’s you can afford a couple mistakes

[jovial hull]

Hi

[scenic frost]

Hollow Knight battle royale when

[burnt heath]

Not grubsong, also called grubsong useless

[real slate]

Shield boys are scary 😦

[jovial hull]

What was it then

Dreamsheild, sprintmaster, grimmchild, and which one?

[burnt heath]

Idk but i really doubt it was grubsong

[real slate]

Grubsong is amazin bro

[burnt heath]

Tell that to nix not me

Nix.....

[tired current]

Weaver

[jovial hull]

Oh it was weaver

[woeful badge]

introducing a friend to hollow knight and they cant find good controls, anyone know any good ones?

[burnt heath]

Like 3 are literally minions

[real slate]

How is receiving soul when you take damage useless 😭

[jovial hull]

Whatever’s comfy, up to them, it takes some time to find a good scheme

[hushed trail]

Radiants

[burnt heath]

I have one i like but it requires a numpad

[jovial hull]

I use mouse

[woeful badge]

we’ll keep on trying

[real slate]

Grubsong has saved me so many times

[jovial hull]

Only use I’ve found for grubsong is in thorns damage only anyrad TAS

[real slate]

Your stinky

[jovial hull]

*You’re

[real slate]

I don't like you

[jovial hull]

That was the goal

[burnt heath]

Nix i think you forgot that the game is not just tas

Yknow were human

H-u-m-a-n

Except for sof

Hes just a cringemachine

[delicate badge]

what did he do 😭

[burnt heath]

Be cringe

Im still not taking the "breadless """pizza"""" shit

[jovial hull]

And except for te-ano and larry

Because they are TASes

[jovial hull]

Wait. The game isn’t just TAS?

[burnt heath]

[jovial hull]

Guy after realizing that the game isn’t just anyrad 2.0

My man The33rdGuy realized yesterday, and I quote. “Wait…you don’t start with wings”

[ocean radish]

Yippee I'm not going to prison

[burnt heath]

Noway

[jovial hull]

I’m serious

[onyx crystal]

We can change that

[onyx crystal]

Red

:]

[burnt heath]

Thats green wdym?

[burnt heath]

Eh uhm blindo?

[real slate]

I keep forgetting vessel fragments exist

[ocean radish]

You could if you had the evidence of what transpired

[onyx crystal]

I have a broken arm and a shatters leg in my basement

[real slate]

Where do I go to unlock tram again?

[hushed trail]

Yes
Trial 2

[tired current]

Spiderland

[hushed trail]

I forgot as well

[real slate]

Do I beat broken vessel before or?

[tired current]

You don’t have to

But you can

[real slate]

I should prolly unlock that then

I think i did an oogfy thing

[long pumice]

broken tram station in deepnest aaa

[real slate]

So i kinda forgor where to go so I'm jus explorin rn

[swift oriole]

just Embraced the Void

couldnt be happier

[brave blaze]

What area do i need to beat to unlock the way to open the black doors

[lime zodiac]

its a fairly late game ability

[swift oriole]

hornet sentinel, she's in kingdom's edge

[compact pollen]

Helloooo

[scenic frost]

Alr time to throw myself at markoth againe

[compact pollen]

Wich black doors¿

Idk if you mean the black egg or something

[swift oriole]

she means the shade doors, if i'm not wrong

the ones you use a shade cloak to pass through?

one's located in queen's gardens, another in fog canyon

[brave blaze]

Oh easy

I thought i was gonna have to go to deepnest

[swift oriole]

oh, heavens no

[brave blaze]

Aint no way.

[swift oriole]

that's for herrah and tram only

[brave blaze]

Ok cool

[grizzled dirge]

Dog

Boo

[quasi lark]

@burnt heath I downloaded scarab, what'd you say the name of the mod was?

[burnt heath]

Pale court

[dull oracle]

Thats is dog

[quasi lark]

thankies

[burnt heath]

Have fun and

GOODLUCK

[steel hare]

I'm not sure if anyone from the team saw this yet, but someone remade the Mantis lords fight in 3D and it's lowkey cool af

https://youtu.be/UJcsI2q1Q_k

[grizzled dirge]

Real

[muted jasper]

Oh hey

isn't that the one person-

[grizzled dirge]

Oh hello there

[dull oracle]

I saw it in reddit like 5 min ago

[steel hare]

Yeah it dropped today

[grizzled dirge]

:]

[steel hare]

Like 10 hours ago or sum

[quasi lark]

I'm decent at hk I shouldn't have that much trouble

[grizzled dirge]

Did i make a nice impression?

[muted jasper]

Oh well I wasn't talking about this at first but I remember you strawberry pfp 😋

[burnt heath]

Youll need more than decent

[muted jasper]

Good luck still !

[quasi lark]

._.

[muted jasper]

decent is more than decent iirc

[grizzled dirge]

Ok faq i gtg shower

[muted jasper]

When someone says that it usually means "I'm a pro gamer©™"

[scenic frost]

Man screw markoth all my homies hate markoth

[swift oriole]

also pale court introduces tiso

i haven't been able to beat tiso in all my years

[bright swift]

ok so I havnt finished the ritual yet for the achievement, instead I noticed I was making such great time on my save that I just went for the ending, I beat the game in 8 hours and 30 mins

also

[quasi lark]

@burnt heath sorry for all of the pings, is the pale court stuff all post/near end game?

[burnt heath]

Yes, it is suggested you start it on a 112% save

[elder escarp]

true, the bosses are also very hard

[quasi lark]

I dont have a 112 save

I got a 98% but it's broken

[elder escarp]

well than get on that GRIND

[empty fiber]

[elder escarp]

very unfortunate

[empty fiber]

NO 3D

ever

[elder escarp]

if only sega said the same thing

[empty fiber]

.

[quasi lark]

._. time to spend another 50 hours to play the mod

[empty fiber]

I hoped they did....

[elder escarp]

worth

[quasi lark]

any sugestions on other mods to install to make it interesting?

[elder escarp]

hmmmm, skin mod

custom knight skin is awesome

[quasi lark]

I meant more gameplay/content additions

[elder escarp]

when you get pale court install bench warp so you can go around the map quickly

bench warp before 112% is "no gooood"

[elder escarp]

idk anymore content additions

i think pale court is one of the only major ones

unless you count randomizer

[quasi lark]

@burnt heath last ping for now, promise

[elder escarp]

poor guy

[bright swift]

personally the way I have been keeping my game is interesting is nitpicking every possible thing I can do

I am 5 achievements from getting them all

[elder escarp]

which iiiiiiis?

[bright swift]

uh the ones im 100% sure of is
completing the ritual
completing the game in under 5 hours
and godhome ending

i am unsure of the other two ill have to look

[elder escarp]

i see

speedrun 1 is suprisingly easy

[burnt heath]

Randomizer is pretty fun but you could also use separately hollow point and zaliants surprise (best one of the bunch)

[quasi lark]

mk, they can be uninstalled afterwards to play the other mod yeah?

[burnt heath]

Yesh

In fact pale court isnt really made to work with other mods

[quasi lark]

aighty, thank you

[swift vault]

you can just disable them?

[quasi lark]

that's what I was asking, I wanted to ensure they can be removed after I unlock pale court stuff

[bright swift]

ah ok I got the other two
I didnt kill the nailsmith or do the mister mushroom thing

[swift vault]

you can disable istead of unistallin lol

[quasi lark]

didn't realise mr mushroom had an achievement

[bright swift]

he does.

[quasi lark]

eh, I'm prolly not gonna play much modded hk after I'm done with pale court so I will still prolly uninstall em

[swift vault]

Right then.....

[elder escarp]

fair enough

[quasi lark]

does hollow point make the game easier?

[swift vault]

yep

[quasi lark]

aight, by a lot?

[swift vault]

with the charms you can melt everything

[quasi lark]

ah, alrighty then

[elder escarp]

what is hollow point

not big into hk modding

[quasi lark]

gun

[swift vault]

a mod that allows you to play with a pretty powerful gun

[elder escarp]

oooooo

thats what that mod is called

thats a classic

[quasi lark]

I think it's a lil broken

[swift vault]

Mango think it is right?

[elder escarp]

looks vert normal

[grizzled dirge]

His fight in the pantheon is fun

[swift vault]

there are many charms combinations....but only one is already enough to be fair

[umbral vessel]

frame perfect inv drops are quite hard on switch

they're doable! but difficult

[quasi lark]

sooo, turns out pale court breaks hollow point

[scenic frost]

No it isn't

[glad bear]

ok but is no one gonna mention how smashable radiance is 🤪😊😩😤😳🤫🤤

[umbral vessel]

time to find the last 3 creatures im missing for hunters mark 🧍

[quasi lark]

I just realised you can get into wastes early with hollow point

[umbral vessel]

is hollow point the gun mod

[quasi lark]

yus

[umbral vessel]

ough

annnd i can't find the last journal entry i need

wonderful .....

[quasi lark]

:(((

very sad

[umbral vessel]

oj nvm i figured it out :3

[sharp pasture]

oof\

[umbral vessel]

wha

[sharp pasture]

finnaly got a pc

[umbral vessel]

im flying

[sharp pasture]

but i dont really want to buy hk again (i play on switch)

[umbral vessel]

switch gang

[sharp pasture]

yea

planning to play on pc too

[quasi lark]

I own it on pc, switch and ps4

[sharp pasture]

nice

[umbral vessel]

why is it that when i try to go to bed i suddenly hear the most scariest noises known to man what the fuck

can i sleep 😭😭??

[sharp pasture]

idk

try thinking about nkg

will make you feel better

https://tenor.com/view/grimm-gif-26059036

[umbral vessel]

im not thaaat obsessed

[sharp pasture]

same

[toxic nova]

[umbral vessel]

ill think about lore for my oc that i will never do shit for

[sharp pasture]

i just thought you banished them and you dint fight nkg

[umbral vessel]

i banished for a charm that i didn't know would replace my child 😔

[umbral vessel]

the only reason is that i can't animate for shit

anyhow goodnight

[plucky eagle]

same
mostly for mods
i play on switch currently

[dull oracle]

Do you guys think geting 4 steel soul saves to 112% is a good idea?

[robust crypt]

@swift vault :D

tomorrow imma spend a few hours getting the last 76%

[dull oracle]

For speedrun 2 you need to beat the game under 3 hours right?

[robust crypt]

under 5

[dull oracle]

Damn

You had 3 hours extra

[robust crypt]

the first time i got speedrun 2 on my switch i was literally a minute away from 5 hours

and i died to HK so my heart was racing so fast

[dull oracle]

I dont remember how I got the speedrun achivments but I have them

[robust crypt]

i still died to hk this time but the rest of the run was more optimized

[sharp pasture]

lmao same

[brave blaze]

how ._.

[robust crypt]

fireb0rn has a full any% walkthrough

i went along the general route and took some liberties

like some of the acid skips, they were too hard for me

but even then i had plenty of time

[brave blaze]

then

[swift vault]

NICE!!!! Mango said you would get it in 2~3 hours :P

[burnt heath]

I love stpeys

[empty fiber]

[tired sapphire]

i could still order the two hollow knight nendo's from like other palces

[wraith wasp]

[tired sapphire]

[wraith wasp]

watcher knights easy af ngl

[ashen cipher]

nice

[brave blaze]

easier than nkg

[slow orchid]

What

[ashen cipher]

nkg so easy dit it in radiant first try

[wraith wasp]

obviously 💀

[brave blaze]

yes

he is easy with ddark but its so hard in first try

[ashen cipher]

no d dark

i didnt use it

[dull oracle]

Nkg is the easiest boss in the game

[ashen cipher]

facts

[dull oracle]

Did radient nkg on my first try

[ashen cipher]

same thing

[dull oracle]

I may have done it my accident but still did it

[ashen cipher]

one time l did radiant nkg on accident too

[dull oracle]

I was waiting for some friends while playing terraria, and it just picked up hk and did nkg for fun

[ashen cipher]

ok

[dull oracle]

ok

[gloomy pilot]

Morning chat!!!!

[long pumice]

hello hk offtopic

[long pumice]

morning shork!

[dull oracle]

I love how its called Hollow knight offtopic but 90% im here its not even related to gaming at all

[gloomy pilot]

What is the going oning?

[gloomy pilot]

HK offtopic> offtopic

[long pumice]

huh

[dull oracle]

Its not like i mind it

[gloomy pilot]

Going oning 🦈

I hate r6s sm I don't know why I play it 😭😭😭

anyone else die to mawlek more than they should

literally such an easy boss

[dull oracle]

i die to him all the time in steel soul

[trim elbow]

[brave blaze]

https://tenor.com/view/senator-armstrong-metal-gear-rising-mgr-armstrong-gif-26250693

[merry dove]

Not me. Whenever I start a new save I pogo up the spike walls and fight it before I even see cornifer

[brave blaze]

i do the same thing and either die or do it hitless

[dull oracle]

i fight mawlek right when i get vegful spirit

and almost die to the spikes

[brave blaze]

Fighting it without dash is really annoying

[merry dove]

I feel like too many bosses are dependent on your abilities to enjoy them. brooding mawlek is mostly fun with dash, elder hu with shade dash, soul tyrant with double jump etc

[dull oracle]

the only bosses that is not annoying wiithout dash is vengfly king and gruzz mother

[molten leaf]

hey guys

[quiet kayak]

hello hk offtopic

@brave blaze the better steam deck shipped

[merry dove]

I just had some of the most infurating bad luck with absrad ever

[molten leaf]

I just did my first NKG attempt and died in 15 seconds

I have a severe issue of skill so yeah

[lilac pawn]

[dull oracle]

[merry dove]

anyone else remember the entire elegy for hallownest by heart or am I too obsessed with it

[dull oracle]

i only remeber one part of it

[rough wolf]

cat

[merry dove]

cat

[lyric niche]

"They speak your name in reverence and regret." Is the only thing I remember

[dull oracle]

cat

[lyric niche]

cat

[rough wolf]

who is floor 2 and why are we killing him

[lyric niche]

Knight 5 minutes no lifeblood

[jovial hull]

I know it

In wilds beyond, they speak your name with reverence and regret

For none could tame our savage souls yet you, the challenge met

Under palest watch, you taught, we changed. Base instincts were redeemed.

A world you gave to bug and beast, as they had never dreamed.

God that took a while to type

[dull oracle]

Im gona study the elegy of hollownest

I will get A+ at the end of this

[lyric niche]

I read as much dialogue as I can find so I remember none of it

[atomic basin]

holy shit was it posted before???

https://youtu.be/UJcsI2q1Q_k

[dull oracle]

Yes

A few hours ago

[brave blaze]

Good morning hk off topic 🙂

[lyric niche]

Good morning

[dull oracle]

Hello

[merry dove]

good mornin

im trying to beat absrad without healing, wish me luck

[atomic basin]

4 40 pm lets go

[atomic basin]

you mean radiant

[merry dove]

9:40 am lets go

[rough wolf]

holy shit there's a wild Hollow Knight roaming around my steam page

[atomic basin]

have you actually played the game for 3 hours

holy fucking shit i would give my life just to replay the game once again

[dull oracle]

You can

[brave blaze]

I was thinking again yesterday, there are many signs in HK where you can examine them to see what they say in english, but you can also see the gibberish writing. We could develop a writing system based on this information

[dull oracle]

Replay it

[merry dove]

no, ascended and radiant give her double health

[jagged jungle]

whats the white stuff i see on some random womans butt on the internet

[brave blaze]

Do it! Why not?

[merry dove]

they meant for the first time

[brave blaze]

Just start a new save lol

[rough wolf]

woag

[elder nimbus]

I think they mean as a fresh experience

[atomic basin]

dude

[brave blaze]

Ojhh I see

[elder nimbus]

LOOL

[brave blaze]

Sorry! Am dumbb

[atomic basin]

you can only have one first playthrough

[merry dove]

hollow knight is always fun to replay but that first playthrough just hits different on a spiritual level

[brave blaze]

So true

[elder nimbus]

Yeahhhh

[jagged jungle]

i had to watch alot of tutorials

[atomic basin]

im too tired of the game, 5 years of replaying it over and over

[brave blaze]

Silksong someday

[atomic basin]

ikr

it will be the best experience of my life i suppose

[rough wolf]

SORRY I THOUGHT THAT SAID TERRARIA SINCE IVE WATCHED ALOT OF TERRARIA GAMEPLAY-

[atomic basin]

EVEN surpassing Elden Ring

[merry dove]

I also like how free hollow knight is. I got dream nail before mantis claw in my first playthrough, and the tram pass was the very last item I ever collected, so the hive was easier than it should've been. I've never used the resting grounds' tramway in my life

the silksong fishing minigame is legit amazing I already got 2 mask shards like what

[atomic basin]

no one ever did it's useless

it's only useful for the delicate flower quest

[jagged jungle]

wait is silksong out

[merry dove]

I still just go through blue lake for flower quest lol

[atomic basin]

no

[merry dove]

yes\

[dull oracle]

Yes ot been out for 4 days now

[rough wolf]

best review of all time

[atomic basin]

dudes stfu don't give this poor man hope

[merry dove]

bro its out already wdym

[atomic basin]

i would send the best review here but it's Dark Souls 2 related so no one would get it

[rough wolf]

dont worry i would understand it

ive played dark souls 2 scolar of the fire

[rough wolf]

i dont have the game, just steam family sharing

[merry dove]

if I see one more negative review saying "what are you doing reading the negative reviews, go play the game" I will smash my monitor. it ruins the percentage of good reviews for an overused joke that isnt even that funny

[atomic basin]

first sin* but yeah

and DONT play DS2 first i beg

you'll ruin yourself the whole series, supposedly

[atomic basin]

ABSOLUTELY

i relate so hard

[jagged jungle]

why does it say add to wishlist when i try to buy silksong

[midnight oasis]

It's not out

[dull oracle]

We where jokeing

[merry dove]

its not reallt out lollll

um... I just found out you can do ctrl + slash/question-mark to pull up a list of key combinations..... since when was that a thing?!

[junior granite]

on discord?

[merry dove]

yea

[junior granite]

is that where each key you press makes a sound

[junior granite]

because I know there's a screen where when you press like the arrow keys and shit it makes noises

I made a song with myself lol

[elder nimbus]

it's something we all could only wish for at the moment 😭

[rough wolf]

fun fact: my keyboard can change colors

[dull oracle]

I had a dream about a nitendo direct where they where gona give us silkksong release date, but in the end the just the it would be anounced

[whole leaf]

Hello chat

[brave blaze]

Hi sword 🙂

[whole leaf]

I get to play hollow knight 3 times a year ):

[brave blaze]

Wow

[whole leaf]

2 times when i get to my cousins house and make decent progress then they delete hollow knight for no reason

Or get lucky with moms computer

So only 3-4 times a year

):

[brave blaze]

Do you not have a console of your own ?

[whole leaf]

No

[brave blaze]

Dang

[whole leaf]

Only wii

[brave blaze]

Wiis are underrated tbh

[whole leaf]

Yep

But its a cool toaster

[merry dove]

absrad ascended phaase 1 hitless

50% of the time the climbing lazer is absolutely cracked and predicts your heartbeat and the other 50% of the time it doesnt know how to breathe

ARE YOU KIDDING ME

I just bead absrad hitless on ascended

which is great... but now I have to do that on radiant

[dull oracle]

Is that a bad thing?

[merry dove]

its a good thing, but hitless on ascended is exactly like radiant mode, except now I wasted my "luck" on ascended and have to get a run like that on radiant

[merry dove]

how is everyone doing today on the sorrowing wait for silksong

[dull oracle]

Im doing good

[merry dove]

shimya shimya shimya (swalalala)

[undone saddle]

i dont expect 3 people to make a game that fast so, good

[dull oracle]

I have been trying do ignore silksings existins

[brave blaze]

waiting :(

[merry dove]

I challenged myself to beat every boss on radiant and/or beat all pantheons all bindings (seperately[including P5]) before silksong comes out a few weeks ago... well Im almost done with radiant bosses

[woeful badge]

i had a dream i lost my steel soul world to elder hu

[merry dove]

💀

[woeful badge]

💔💔

[dull oracle]

It was not a dream for me😭😭😭

[umbral vessel]

still trying to beat p5

[woeful badge]

relatable 😔

[merry dove]

reletable 😔

[dull oracle]

reletable 😔

[merry dove]

if I got a penny for every time a light ball hit me as I start ddarking, I would be more rich than team cherry after releasing hk

[woeful badge]

wait

including absolute radiance?

[merry dove]

yes. including absolute radiance. trying to beat her on radiant as we speak

[woeful badge]

i wish you luck on your journey

meanwhile im trying to beat her normally 😭

i still need more practice before another p5 attempt

[merry dove]

Sly in my opinion is the most difficult boss to dance with. I mean nkg and pv are very difficult but they're easy when you know the rythym and absrad is just plain difficult with no real pattern or strategy, but Sly is like... too hard in every way for me

[humble sequoia]

I clipped into a wall again

[woeful badge]

i mean, i dont think doing radiant sly would take too long

lure him to do the attack where he spins midair and falls to the floor and get some hits in

[scenic frost]

The hard part about sly is that he's a lot more dynamic than other bosses

Like when he slashes twice then does a "sly-clone"

[woeful badge]

in his second phase, lure him in and dash away and get some hits in or ddark him

[umbral vessel]

[scenic frost]

If you jump over his first slash he'll turn around to compensate during his second slash

[woeful badge]

for most other attacks, just stay away

[scenic frost]

I attempted p5 but died at umuu

[woeful badge]

when he does the cyclone attack, i ddark then use the i frames to pogo off of him while he finishes the move

[merry dove]

I beat her the first time with heart, lifeblood heart & core, spell twister, sprintmaster and grubsong, now im trying to beat her with soul catcher & eater, shaman stone, and spell twister, and mark of pride overcharm if im doing radiant. the main strategy is to cyclone slash at the beginning of each phase and abuse the invinciblity of descending dark.... a lot. mostly just practicing and some goodluck. it took me a few days to beat her the first time and another few days for ascended

[woeful badge]

DANGIT I FORGOT TO CHANGE SOUL CATCHER TO TWISTER

thanks for the reminder

[merry dove]

ooooooooof

[humble sequoia]

Why can't Jiji fix this regret

[woeful badge]

i think it took like 5 days to a week for me to beat her normally

but i wasnt practicing for hours

[raven moth]

BRO I CANT EVEN BEAT P1

i tried nail build and spell build i just suck bro

[woeful badge]

usually just a few attempts per day, if i do the fight too much i just seem to get worse at it

[humble sequoia]

Just not enough practice

[merry dove]

by the way, I recommend not bothering to go to the more empty spaces in the sword-rain attack because its really easy to go in between them anyways, you can even get a cyclone slash if you're good enough. the main thing is not to waste soul during the constant sword rain at the end of the first phase because she dies in a single shriek, so its better to just keep that soul for the next phase

[woeful badge]

honestly, valid

mato and oro are too annoying

[raven moth]

brooding mawlek gets my health down too much for nailmaster guys and i died

[quiet kayak]

no :3

[woeful badge]

i could beat the pure vrssel on radiant so much more easily than mato and oro

[quiet kayak]

im letting one of my irl friends use it so we can play isaac together

[merry dove]

the nailbrothers are pretty annoying to me. they keep charging in one-after-another until you're stuck in the corner, then one of the, drops on top of you and the other one uses a nail art to completely trap & kill you in the corner

[humble sequoia]

mato and oro are a bit hard to figure out but not too bad after

[raven moth]

FR THO WHY ARE THEY SO HARD

[woeful badge]

in fact, ive done pure vessel hitless before

on attuned

[raven moth]

whats isaac

[quiet kayak]

sadly i cant but im using my sd for my cfw switch

[raven moth]

ive heard of it

isnt it called legend of isaac the game

like the one they were just talking abt

[woeful badge]

i try to get rid of the cyclone one first. just completely targeting him. his special attack is so much more annoying

[raven moth]

ohh not legend

[raven moth]

i just get as many hits as i can

[woeful badge]

i recommend targeting the cyclone one first then finishing off the other

its easier to fight one than two

so using that strat it would be first phase, second phase, the basically redoing first phase

[junior granite]

how. my nail duplicates??

[woeful badge]

this would be a lore type thing

[junior granite]

i dont think theres a lore explaination

[woeful badge]

but your player self isnt necessarily supposed to exist when you die, so it makes sense for the shade to keep the nail upon death

[brave blaze]

aku

[woeful badge]

but you need your nail to defeat your shade and it would be incredibly difficult to do so otherwise

[brave blaze]

sayang

kamu juga sayang

[junior granite]

yeah but what if your nail was on the floor where you died or sum

i think that would be cool gameplay wise

[woeful badge]

that would be cool

[coarse plaza]

there is two german kids talking in general

[junior granite]

imagine u die in deepnest and havent sat on a bench for a while so u gotta get all the way down there without a nail

[scenic frost]

So wait is respawning canon

[junior granite]

i dont think its canon, but idk

[woeful badge]

i think the shade having a nail is something meant for lore, but you having your nail when you respawn is a mechanic that seems necessary for gameplay

[woeful badge]

i dont believe so

[woeful badge]

💀

[humble sequoia]

Pale court ruins it

[scenic frost]

Because what if you just leave your nail on the ground when you die and your shade picks it up

[woeful badge]

but then theres steel soul to consider

[amber hound]

LETS GOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO

[junior granite]

i feel like steel soul would be the canon one right

since like, you die and then youre dead

[woeful badge]

yeah but your shade ceases to exist

right?

[humble sequoia]

congrats!

[scenic frost]

Nah godseeker is totally the canon mode

[merry dove]

literally almost everything about the lore with your shade doesnt make sense

[woeful badge]

💯

[amber hound]

im at pantheon of hallownest now

is it hard

[humble sequoia]

hard is an understatement

[scenic frost]

Easiest pantheon (no it isnt)
