[robust crypt]

no but it's a good way of storing your geo if you don't wanna lose it when you die

[dull swift]

btw is there a pin for him on the map?

[dull swift]

wdym

[robust crypt]

don't sell them all yet. just wait until you absolutely need the money because you might die and lose it all

[dull swift]

i can store geo?

[dull swift]

i died alott they vanish?

[robust crypt]

no the relics don't vanish when you die. that's why i'm saying don't sell them unless you absolutely need geo

geo DOES vanish when you die

if you can't get it back from your shade

[dull swift]

i want for salubara or whatever it is its with 300

and idk what it does but a skill so why not

[robust crypt]

sell enough to get 300 geo and buy whatever you need

[dull swift]

this npc

sells smth with 300 geo

idk whats that but i wanted to buy it

[robust crypt]

just sell enough relics to get 300 geo

[dull swift]

after i buy it what does it do

[robust crypt]

idk what you're trying to buy lol

[dull swift]

i can kill high hp npc and they give 50

[robust crypt]

that's also a good strat

[elder nimbus]

longnail?

[dull swift]

yeah

[elder nimbus]

it increases the length of your nail slashes

you have more reach with it

[robust crypt]

the big husk with the horn-like weapon in the forgotten crossroads give 45 geo on death, and you can farm it by sitting at the stag station bench to respawn it each time you kill it

[dull swift]

idk names but ye

[dull swift]

where?

i know him

i farm him for 50 geo

i know

but do u know a shortcut way there?

to get between them fast

[robust crypt]

blue is where the enemy is and red is the path you take

just go back and forth and sit on the bench each time you kill it

[dull swift]

i went to kill the guy over here

[robust crypt]

wth why are there so many player markers

[dull swift]

cus am on pve server

i went there

ty

[robust crypt]

yw

[dull swift]

[robust crypt]

[dull swift]

[robust crypt]

not sure what you mean

[dull swift]

[dull swift]

@robust crypt these

[plucky eagle]

[dull swift]

i dont need em then

[dull swift]

what does long nail do

[robust crypt]

makes your nail a little bit longer

[dull swift]

what is the nail

[robust crypt]

not by much though

[robust crypt]

your weapon

[dull swift]

o

[devout hazel]

finally

[robust crypt]

shaman stone is the best charm from salubra, it increases your spell damage by a lot

[dull swift]

so why should i collect money rn

idk what to get after super dash

a double jump?

[robust crypt]

should i tell you where to get it? there's minor spoilers for a boss

[dull swift]

ye i dont mind

but do || before and after the spoiler

so that if someone doesn't want to get spoiled

[devout hazel]

i think its better if he explores tho

idk

[dull swift]

nope i get lost everytime and go to the same place i were in first time

i have a problem with directions in this game

[devout hazel]

that was my first gameplay lmao, give it a try and idk complete the map and shi

[dull swift]

like i walked 5 hours just to find the dash boss

and died before knewing there is a bench near him/her idk

and tried to find it another 2 hours

[devout hazel]

go like the places you didnt went and in any point you will get som new

[dull swift]

i did to get the wall jump and couldnt get out the place until my friend came and took me out lol

[robust crypt]

have you gone to city of tears so far?

[plucky eagle]

i didn’t get dash until like 10-20 hours in?
it’s fine if you’re a bit slow

[dull swift]

ye

i explored that much and got lost cus i didnt have the map

this is what i explored in total

[devout hazel]

[dull swift]

o

[devout hazel]

[dull swift]

and a boss for what

[woeful badge]

i continue my journey

[robust crypt]

[robust crypt]

buy the stag markers from iselda to show you where they are once you unlock them

[dull swift]

i have 188

geo

[robust crypt]

you pay some but not a lot, it differs from station to station

[woeful badge]

if you havent done the broken vessel yet, theres some geo rocks on the way

if i remember correctly

[dull swift]

should i go there or where to be near the city of tears

oh there is city of tears

[robust crypt]

you can go to city storerooms but you'll take a slightly different route

[dull swift]

wdym

[woeful badge]

pretty much down and left until u reach the sign

[dull swift]

and my brain isn't working rn idk why

[woeful badge]

idk if u have the watchers spire area unlocked yet tho

[robust crypt]

[dull swift]

MY BRAINN

[woeful badge]

[dull swift]

ALL THESE are making me remember geography and how long i studied

and that giving me brain dmg

[robust crypt]

i've been playing since 2018 and even i can't memorize the whole map lmao

[woeful badge]

[agile pasture]

"Shaw"

[dull swift]

greenstar typing another essay

[agile pasture]

Who is that guy

[dull swift]

@fallen night

[agile pasture]

Hey dont disturb him

[dull swift]

o

[fallen night]

RED SHADOW

[dull swift]

see?

[agile pasture]

What the heck

[fallen night]

(Aka basically Grimmchild but radiance + radiance redeeming or something arc idk)

[dull swift]

isn't that the thing the is sold behind the old man

[fallen night]

There’s like 9 simple keys and simple locks in the game.

Less so in actuality but there are still quite a few.

[dull swift]

i did now lol

nice

what should i buy?

[plucky eagle]

there’s 4

[fallen night]

Charm notches.

You cannot go wrong with more charm notches.

Because there’s always SOMETHING extra to equip.

[plucky eagle]

if you don’t have it get shaman stone

[dull swift]

what does they do + i already bought long nails

[fallen night]

Shaman stone when soul twister:

[plucky eagle]

charm notches allow you to use more charms at a time
longnail for example is a charm

[dull swift]

nice amma try to get it but need money so amma buy relics

[fallen night]

Stronger charms cost more notches (at least that’s intended but some are questionably good or stupid strong for their cost)

(At least in specific scenarios)

[dull swift]

this is the guy that buys my relics?

[fallen night]

That’s a stag station

It’s basically fast travel.

[dull swift]

then which one is the seller

[fallen night]

To other stag stations. (You need to unlock a point to travel there and back so it’s balanced)

[dull swift]

orange one?

[fallen night]

Oh the dude you sell relics to is in city of tears.

[plucky eagle]

show full map of city of tears?

[fallen night]

Left and above the statue.

[plucky eagle]

the orange guy in here

[fallen night]

If you REALLY want cash though

[dull swift]

lemme get there rq

[fallen night]

Grind Colosseum

[dull swift]

what?

[plucky eagle]

they do not have colos unlocked

[agile pasture]

Spoiled...

[fallen night]

What you need that much cash for then?

[plucky eagle]

they want charm notches??

[dull swift]

to buy all charms

[fallen night]

You can’t buy all at once

[dull swift]

wdym

[fallen night]

More unlock over time. As you beat stuff more stuff is sold.

[dull swift]

ohh

so amma get first 2 only

i am on Fungal Wastes how do i go down now

[plucky eagle]

all salubra charms can be bought immediately though if you have enough money

[dull swift]

nvm i did

[fallen night]

The map is just slightly off at all times.
Devs did it to mess with perfectionists.

[dull swift]

whats that near the bench?

[fallen night]

Breakable relic salemsn.

[agile pasture]

Wait you're playing multiplayer?

[dull swift]

ye

[plucky eagle]

a shop guy

[agile pasture]

For your first time?

Have fun i guess

[fallen night]

Instructions for such but memes basically to avoid spoilers.
So anyway once you go past THAT ONE ZONE and have fought the laser guns go to melted teapot and fight the orange crayon then go and commit genocide for money near the pasta shell boiling water zone or whatever that area is called.

[robust crypt]

he sells and repairs a few charms

i just finished recording the route, do you still need it?

[fallen night]

There’s a really funny thing you can do with the charms once you meet a certain fluffy character and do something with a item they give you with another NOT fluffy character.

[dull swift]

ye

was it a route for what again?

[robust crypt]

the double jump ability

and the dream nail if you don't have it, and a couple new stag stations

[fallen night]

What enemies have you seen in the fungal wastes so far?

[robust crypt]

i don't think you have the dream nail yet so it's also a dream nail route

[dull swift]

ye

[fallen night]

I was trying to keep its name a secret

[dull swift]

i saw it from the settings lol

[fallen night]

Oh wait the dlc names are in title screen right?

[robust crypt]

oh oops

[dull swift]

dlc?

[fallen night]

There’s free dlc because devs apologized for not making silksong basically yes that’s a lie but it’s free and you have it.

[dull swift]

what is dlc

[fallen night]

Grimm troupe.

[dull swift]

what?

[fallen night]

The blue lifeblood hearts.

[robust crypt]

god dammit i exported at 480p and sped up the video by 2x speed, and it's still too large of a file

[fallen night]

Dream nails.

[dull swift]

o

[robust crypt]

i can upload it to google drive i guess

[agile pasture]

144p time Ducky!

[fallen night]

All this stuff is dlc.

[fallen night]

Upload it as unlisted to YouTube and just link.

[dull swift]

u can put it on a website and send the link dm or here

[robust crypt]

[robust crypt]

tru

if you need it to slow down u can just lower the playback speed ig

[fallen night]

@dull swift as soon as you get the dream nail go to where you spawned and keep going. There IS a path it’s hidden. Use the dream nail on the correct corpse to trigger a very fun dlc.

[dull swift]

didnt understand anything

[fallen night]

By where you spawned I mean the intro area keep going left and up.

[dull swift]

keep what u say simple cus i dont have energy to think i get some brain dmg when it ry to think rn

[robust crypt]

you'll understand when you see the video

[fallen night]

And dream nail the corpse that’s hidden. There will be red things if right corpse, then hit fire.

[robust crypt]

when you get the dream nail, you get teleported somewhere but it's easy to see where on the route that is

[fallen night]

Then you will see ||the “circus” is in town,|| with many new charms and upgrades and ||maybe even some fights too?||

[dull swift]

where did u tell me to go with the stag station?

[fallen night]

What spells and movement items do you have rn.

[dull swift]

||||

[fallen night]

Not relics

Movement items. E.g the cloak that lets you dash

[robust crypt]

he has cdash

[dull swift]

how do i know?

[robust crypt]

in your inventory

[fallen night]

Can you wall jump?

[dull swift]

i can wall jump super dash and dash

and have a skill that takes soul i press 'A' to hit with

without hold

[fallen night]

So mantis claw, crystal heart and cloak. So I would suggest you climb city of tears to visit the little Necromancer boss dude.

[dull swift]

what how do i climb there

i am here

[fallen night]

You already beat soul master. I can tell by that route.

[dull swift]

@fallen night

[fallen night]

Ok so, if I recall somewhere around maybe green path it is there IS nail ability person and maybe also another spell? Also try to visit the deepnest trams and unlock those around the maps.

[dull swift]

ig amma turn off the game until i can think normally again

cus i am braindead rn

i can't even know whats ur saying even though ur typing and am seeing it

[fallen night]

Play through 2 I suggest to add various mods to spice things up such as the vocalized mod, transcendence mod, boss improvement (||inferno king|| and ||corrupted kin||)

[dull swift]

ok ty

amma go rest for a bit bye

[fallen night]

Also the one court dlc mod

It’s such a good mod it’s considered fanmade dlc.

I killed Zote so I won’t ever hear their voice.

Blueberry flavor.

[ocean nacelle]

Absolutely inferno blueberry flavor

[ocean nacelle]

The absolutest inferno king grimm

Not exactly HK, but since it runs on Unity...

Kenney (@KenneyNL)

Unity will soon charge devs per-install after a certain threshold. I'd like to express my concerns regarding privacy (tracking installs/downloads), preservation and changing the whole business model while devs are using the engine for their projects. 🫤

[keen kraken]

this sounds really atrocious

[pale crystal]

LETS FUCKING GOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO]

I BEAT THE GAME

[brave blaze]

gg

[agile pasture]

Congrats

[pale crystal]

AFTER SO MANY TRIES

[delicate badge]

rocket ehat does your name mean

[brave blaze]

if you know you know

[delicate badge]

i dont...

[brave blaze]

rip

[delicate badge]

[robust crypt]

somehow i just had more trouble with radiant vengefly king than radiant failed champ

it took me like 8 attempts while failed took me 1

[brave blaze]

ok alright, my name can be abbreviated as RF20
and the 20 here in this case is a certain rubiks cube algorithm which involves turning specific faces in a certain way, in the order that's written in my nickname
the algorithm in question is case #20 in a step called OLL (orientation of last layer) which orients the top layer in a way that all the pieces of that color are facing up
hope that makes sense

[delicate badge]

😮

thanks :)

[brave blaze]

another random thing: if you actually take a rubiks cube and turn it the way its written in my name you'll get something like this

[delicate badge]

ah

[brave blaze]

(surely im not the only one in here thats into stuff like this, right? 👉 👈 )

[delicate badge]

my school back then used to obess with the cube

[lime mist]

i guess i never beat p5 on a normal file on steam before then

i've been doing it on my switch or just on a godhome file

[swift vault]

Cool!

[robust crypt]

next im planning on doing neglect, speed completion, steel soul, and steel heart all in one run

i always saved zote

[swift vault]

Speed completion on Steel soul....that is hyping

[robust crypt]

with my recent 112% run, 20 hours seems very doable

i got to 112 in just a little over 20

[swift vault]

speed completion is in 10 hours?
you will have to 100% in ten hours, neat

[vocal seal]

Wth 20 hours 112% ssoul

[vocal seal]

grubby grub

[brave blaze]

Hi

[robust crypt]

i'm a coward though so if i'm about to die i'll just quit and respawn

[vocal seal]

looks adorable

[swift vault]

what? never saw it
probably Mango got it without even noticing

[brave blaze]

I just set in a jar

[vocal seal]

ifbits not a liegrub tho

well all grubbys in the game are adorable

[mossy nymph]

I imagine this was shared at some point last year, but if anyone hasn't seen it, I recently discovered this Dung Defender theme with lyrics.
The voice acting is outstanding.
https://youtu.be/Sb1Dz9BALbQ?si=56dbxQoXIfNuKB2o

[vocal seal]

doma doma domadomadoma

[robust crypt]

one time i sent an image of a grub plushie and said "i wanna put it in a jar" cause that's what the collector do
then someone accused me of wanting to do unspeakable acts to the grub because of the whole stigma around putting things in jars

[mossy nymph]

It's filled with Soul, clearly.

[vocal seal]

wyy do you even put it in jar just left it free

why*

[robust crypt]

because i'm collecting it

[vocal seal]

[swift vault]

put on a cookie jar :3

[vocal seal]

collctr!!!11!1

uhh i have small amount of cookies

but the cookie knight is in progress of making

...in 0% progress cause im lazy

[brave blaze]

Very Disney

I like it

Don't put me back in the jar

[vocal seal]

Ye pls dont put grubby guy back

or else

[robust crypt]

i don't like when people add lyrics to instrumental songs, it's hard for me to listen to for some reason, but i will admit the singing and voice acting is really good

[agile pasture]

Get in the jar, grubby.

[vocal seal]

Nooo

[robust crypt]

[vocal seal]

no putting grubs back into jars at halls

[mossy nymph]

Yeah it usually ends up really cheesy and awkward, but for me in this case it really adds a lot to the nobility and honour of DD so I like it.

[brave blaze]

No

[agile pasture]

You have to

[brave blaze]

I'm go train with the nail masters

[swift vault]

[vocal seal]

bro wth waior grub omg

warrior*

[swift vault]

well we have fruit.......why not a Grub that fights? 😆

[brave blaze]

Exactly

[vocal seal]

Well fruit have tree and othe fruits on his side..

while gruby is alone

[swift vault]

Grub father

[vocal seal]

well grub father impostor

if he really was their father he doesnt let them go until they tunr into butterflies

[brave blaze]

Grub need no one

I solo

[vocal seal]

wth solo grub omg😳🤯😱🔊😈

[swift vault]

that is how things works

[brave blaze]

I never trusted that old grub

[vocal seal]

well he do know there was danger around but he let tgem all go..

[swift vault]

Grubs got protected!

[vocal seal]

also first you need to get out of jar

yup protected kinda

but alone

[swift vault]

[robust crypt]

i love when im about to get hit by a dash attack then i accidentally stagger them

[vocal seal]

and that protectin is just ajar wth

[swift vault]

Grubberfly Elegy????

[robust crypt]

it might not be the best charm but i love how much range it gives

[vocal seal]

he is pro

they *

[robust crypt]

ty

[swift vault]

the range okay but the price is too high.....half damage X_X

[vocal seal]

yup range very cool but it halfs damage you deal

[robust crypt]

yeah, but if you're constantly spamming with qslash anyway you'll get in some extra hits if the boss is too far away

[vocal seal]

well uh unb strenght plus fury of the fallen

plus last hp

[swift vault]

[robust crypt]

usually i'm rushing them down with steady body but the extra ranged damage helps when they're too far to hit

[vocal seal]

no one eVerbuses that

ever uses this combo i mtntioned*

[swift vault]

What?! Mango loves the damage boost

[robust crypt]

i tried using fury for absrad and it took me forever, i just ended up switching to deep heal and i beat her like 3 attempts later

[vocal seal]

mentioned* like seriously one hp wth

[swift vault]

One HP is okay on base game

[robust crypt]

it lets you do a ton of damage, only if you're crazy enough to use it

[vocal seal]

DEEP HEAL bro what its so slow no way it helped

[swift vault]

it is good if you wanna play super safe

[robust crypt]

i healed after each phase change

[vocal seal]

like whatt isnt it the worst charm hmm

oh ye

[robust crypt]

yeah its pretty bad when you're in quick combat but she has long phase transitions

[vocal seal]

i forgor thes huge window between phases

[swift vault]

far from that lol

[robust crypt]

you just have to get lucky enough not to get hit by a beam at the beginning of phase 3

[vocal seal]

its slow,takes four notches and all it does is economy ur soul

[swift vault]

two masks is good definetly a good charm depending on what you want

[robust crypt]

actually i have no idea why i used deep heal... i was doing ascended absrad but deep heal overcharmed me

i literally could've just not used deep heal and it would've been the same

[dire ore]

the opportunity cost is really huge and i think its value diminishes for more experienced players

[slate spire]

hey guys

[swift vault]

Good charm :3
Mango approves

[swift vault]

Heya!

[slate spire]

I hope yall doing great

[swift vault]

same with ya!

[dire ore]

none of what I said was positive

[swift vault]

Pal it is good

[vocal seal]

You can synergy it with quick focus,but it’s seven notches only on heal💀
Idk how u all are
But I always thought what it’s just d- charm
Like isn’t it better to take quick focus,so you can focus right in the fight???
Like its op it gives you some extra heal windows just bc you healing faster not that slow three seconds animation or whatever seconds it takes

[swift vault]

Wow quick Focus and Deep Focus together is OP

[robust crypt]

best charm combo is wayward compass, gathering swarm, and grubsong. it absolutely shreds bosses

[vocal seal]

yup.Theyre not just working,but theres synergy what fully removes that slowness from deep focus,but that seven notches on heal,and you keft four on fight

left*

[swift vault]

Definetly this helped a lot on my challenges

[vocal seal]

nah best combo is broken strenght,broken greed and broken health,it absolutely shreds the game

well if thats so its cool

[swift vault]

it is so broken that it breaks the game

[vocal seal]

yes

[pale crystal]

Nevermind he was trolling me the entire way through he finished with 3 hours and 8 minutes on first try with old nail. I was so confused but i geniunely felt happy for him since this is my first time beating the game with standard ending today. I've never beaten the game before.

So i had no idea

He has 326.6 hours in the game

[swift vault]

Well Cool! is your friend active here?

[vocal seal]

wth what

oh

[pale crystal]

@subtle yoke

[vocal seal]

theres the part where mango pings me

[pale crystal]

no

[pale crystal]

No i dont think so

[vocal seal]

it have been thirty seconds

[pale crystal]

He's beaten steel soul 112% which I didnt even know was a think till 1 hour ago

[swift vault]

Kay one day gonna talk with your friend if they want

[vocal seal]

ss 112%

op so prooo

[pale crystal]

I am just happy with my 71% standard ending cause i'm sure i will never be good enough to do all this special shit that everyone does so

coloseums and path of pain are something I will never be able to do for sureee

[vocal seal]

bruh we dont really allow to,but why tho just get at least 100%,other is isnt important

[swift vault]

hey do not say that

Mango improved a lot on a quick period of time
you just have to keep goin

[vocal seal]

like its much of content left

[pale crystal]

My only goal was to beat the game

I did it. Why should I continue

[swift vault]

TE is the nicest to go.... :P

[pale crystal]

TE?

[robust crypt]

don't say that! i used to rely on my friend walking me through the entire game on discord screenshare, but now i'm nohitting every boss (sorry for the flex)

[swift vault]

True Ending
it is the main thing the game really wants you to do :)

[robust crypt]

true ending isn't technically "true" but it's what the community sees as the most true

[pale crystal]

My friend literally trolled me beating the entire game in three hours and he's gotten ss 112% trust me it's no bother.

[swift vault]

everything is canon but the story works more oon that ending lol

[vocal seal]

Like I’m sure he doesn’t seen hive,pop,white palace,queens gardens,abyss,this silk house secret location I forgor how it calls and most of the game

[pale crystal]

I understand that I am bad at the game

Took me 39 hours and 36 minutes or something insane to beat the game

[swift vault]

it is already good 👍
keep goin

[pale crystal]

39 hours sucks

[swift vault]

[pale crystal]

All my friends did it in 26

[robust crypt]

even if you're not planning on speedrunning, if you wanna get better, i recommend watching speedrun commentaries or tutorials

[vocal seal]

i have 80+ hours

[robust crypt]

they give you a good idea of what you need to do in a short amount of time

[pale crystal]

my friend who is pro told me he would teahc me

[vocal seal]

while going the casulanon nkg, non PoP,non p3-way

casual non*

80 hours...

[swift vault]

What is considered a Pro?

[pale crystal]

Someone who has completed the game multiple times and has gotten 112% on ss plus radiant on every single boss in the game

I consider that pro

[swift vault]

Well kinda..........

[robust crypt]

i think i've beaten the game on ss but probably not 112%ed it

not even 100%

[pale crystal]

He also speed ran the game sub 2 hours

[vocal seal]

or one sucessful speedrun or one hollow knight kaizo walkthrough ita slo makes you pro

[swift vault]

sub hour you mean?

[pale crystal]

no jsut sub 2

Look for a begineer

I consider him pro

Cause I'm brand fucking new

I just beat the game

[swift vault]

Ducky on their first made on 2 hors lol

[pale crystal]

what's that mean?

[swift vault]

that means everyone can do this.....why you just say that you cannot without trying?

[pale crystal]

Cause i suck

You know how many tries it took me to beat hk?

at least 15

[swift vault]

you know how many trys take me to do everything i do???
Pal never give up

[robust crypt]

tbf i've been playing since i was 13 in 2018, speedrunning wasn't a huge challenge for me. you don't suck, you're just new to the game and that's fine

you'll grow out of the learning phase

[vocal seal]

Bruh 15 is fine wdym no joke

[pale crystal]

Bro sometimes i can even hit free boss hits

[pale crystal]

I dont give up

[plucky eagle]

indeed never give up

[swift vault]

[robust crypt]

it probably took me more my first time

[pale crystal]

I fought tooth and nail trying to beat hollow knight

[vocal seal]

ok,Ats fine i mean you think we expect from you playing as fireborn or as bot or what

[plucky eagle]

got to second phase thk (:

[pale crystal]

and i somehow beat the dream version of lost kin

before i beat hk

[swift vault]

you got this

[pale crystal]

I'v heard there is a speicial verison of him

Which I dont wanna know about so

[plucky eagle]

the double damage attack is pretty harsh
(second phase)
the faster attacks makes it a lot harder too
i’m sure i can do it

[swift vault]

PP

[plucky eagle]

ye haven’t gotten to it yet

[plucky eagle]

because usually i don’t have full health

[pale crystal]

But anyways yeah

I just wanted to beat the game

[plucky eagle]

so i can only take like two of those
they wipe like half my health

[pale crystal]

maybe I'll try to be better later on

[plucky eagle]

yea just beat the game first
you get better the more you play

[pale crystal]

I beat it

[plucky eagle]

ye

[swift vault]

you beated the game?

[pale crystal]

I heavily doubt that but ok

[pale crystal]

yup

1 hour ago

[plucky eagle]

i’m gonna try and go for low% after i finish up my slightly less hard low%s (no movement, nothing but movement)
this one is at 29%

[swift vault]

Wow For Mango someone that "beated the game" is doin everything you can do lol

[vocal seal]

Bro,chill,at most of the main game you dont going to fight those extra hard bosses like hArder version of hk.

wth keypad living irs own life

its*

[plucky eagle]

i consider myself at least semi decent
i’ve grown and improved heavily since i first started playing

[pale crystal]

I fought Lost Kin dream version and he felt harder than the final boss

[swift vault]

you are the second of most reknown what you mean? heheheh

[vocal seal]

bc the final boss isnt actually final.

[vocal sluice]

is this real chat???

[pale crystal]

According to sotry line he is

[swift vault]

[swift vault]

no it is not....and that is why you have to keep going

[pale crystal]

But i suck ass

[swift vault]

if you do not do this how you will improve?????????

[vocal seal]

Also dream bosses isn’t the thing to do in hk.
They’re much harder and rather lategame things.
I got all the dream essence needed for awakened nail and even for the this moth to go,without beating any.
Also they don’t give you ANY %.

[pale crystal]

AWAKEND WHAT

uh oh

[plucky eagle]

get essence.
lots of essence

[swift vault]

TE path

[plucky eagle]

i think i might go for low% te too

[robust crypt]

an upgrade that's required for the true final boss

[vocal seal]

Shhh

not the true one tho

[swift vault]

[vocal seal]

theres even more truer boss there

hidden in canalisation

[plucky eagle]

the double damage on that one attack second phase is so hard
it goes so fast i can’t heal too
i try tho

[vocal seal]

where

what boss ure talking about

[plucky eagle]

thk

[robust crypt]

what attack, the pillars?

[plucky eagle]

that’s the only one that does double damage in that fight

[vocal seal]

the hollow knight? Or is it another boss

[plucky eagle]

ye thk

[robust crypt]

the best strat for that attack is to bounce on thk's head then ddive or ddark for iframes

[swift vault]

no

[plucky eagle]

yea i pogo off of thk as much as i can
but also no dive or ddark

[robust crypt]

what is it then

[swift vault]

Low% lol

[robust crypt]

oh you're doing low%

[vocal seal]

mango when disagree:😡

[robust crypt]

no

[plucky eagle]

29% completion
not as low as i can go but i mean yea
2% of that could’ve been skipped
3% actually

[swift vault]

Nah you all do whatever you want
Mango just watch

[vocal seal]

Ik its just funny

[plucky eagle]

going for dnm after this so i grabbed a couple things i didn’t need
and also got defenders crest (even though unneeded, i did the skip in ismas grove anyways)

[vocal seal]

wait its pretty night at mango isnt he sleeping already

[swift vault]

Pretty night?

[vocal seal]

oh wait no IM wrong

its maximum evening nvm

[swift vault]

In a few hours gonna be morning :3

[vocal seal]

What wth

[pale crystal]

Is mango just an actual mango?

[vocal seal]

is it 6 am to u

[swift vault]

🥭

[vocal seal]

ofc mango is mango

just hes educated

[pale crystal]

But like how can a person be a mango

[vocal seal]

shhh

dont talk

[swift vault]

am Mango! Top player of HK
Nice to meet you! how should i refer to you?

[pale crystal]

TOP PLAYER?

You’re the best in the world?

[swift vault]

Best is too much but Top player yea

[pale crystal]

Refer to me?

I’m a dude

[swift vault]

how should i call you heheheh

[pale crystal]

U?

[plucky eagle]

was doing pretty good
1250 health is gonna be a lot to get through

[vocal seal]

Crowned frog

[pale crystal]

Trios, Jimmy, Jarma

Anyone works

Crowned frog works too

I have dude pronouns if that’s what your asking

[robust crypt]

jarma985

[pale crystal]

But anyways

[swift vault]

ow

[pale crystal]

Yeah i’m a dude wbu mango?

[swift vault]

am Mango :3
kinda messed
and kinda insane

[pale crystal]

Well yeah but like

Girl or boy?

[swift vault]

@vocal seal what is goin on here?

[pale crystal]

It doesn’t say anything in your bio

[swift vault]

ye definetly true

[pale crystal]

?

Me is confusion

[swift vault]

Gosh you will have to dodge all attacks with normal dash and deal 5 damage all the time
hope you do well

[plucky eagle]

got hit by the attack twice and i was dead
was at full hp second phase

[plucky eagle]

thanks
probably won’t take me as long as watcher knights but still gonna take a bit

[vocal seal]

Wth ping

[pale crystal]

So uhh… i’m assuming no answer?

[plucky eagle]

probably only gonna get like 1-2 more attempts in tonight bc it’s late and i’ll be going to sleep soon

[swift vault]

yea
dunno what is happenin there

[vocal seal]

The usual of hk offtopic

[swift vault]

not that usual tho

[pale crystal]

I was just asking

I normally ask people that.

Did i do something wrong?

[swift vault]

you see that lil "any" beside my name?

[pale crystal]

Mhm

[swift vault]

am anything you think Mango is 👍

[pale crystal]

Wdym

[robust crypt]

radiant gpz only took 3 tries this time omg

[pale crystal]

@swift vault wdym

[swift vault]

umm....you asked about pronous well: Any

[robust crypt]

you can use whatever pronouns you want for them

[pale crystal]

But

That doesn’t make sense

[swift vault]

[robust crypt]

mango's fine with being called anything so there's nothing wrong with it

doesn't matter if it makes sense or not

[swift vault]

well said

[robust crypt]

oh wow elegy shreds soul master 2nd phase

[modest adder]

is it a hot take to say the Pale King wasn’t that bad?

[robust crypt]

no pale king was a great dad 👍

[plucky eagle]

pale king wasn’t that bad tbh

[swift vault]

Pale King definetly made a good kingdom but other than that dunno

[modest adder]

it’s not his fault his kids weren’t hollow

simply should’ve been born different

[robust crypt]

the only bad thing he really did was kill off thousands of his children but who really caaaaaaaares

[modest adder]

can’t kill his kids if they don’t have birth certificates

who knows whos shells are at the bottom of the abyss

probably people from the ancient civilization

[robust crypt]

bro humped n dumped

literally, dumped them all into the abyss

[modest adder]

ok but ignoring the abyss memes

like he did that himself, didn’t pain anybody except himself and the Pale Lady with the process

and his thoughts were only to the subjects of Hallownest to protect him from an angry moth

very good monarch, and it’s easy to see why people revered him so, other than the fact that he’s a literal god but that’s besides the point

[robust crypt]

maybe the vessels didn't feel very much but they weren't all void, they all got discarded for a reason

they had to have felt some emotion or some kind of feelings

but yes he committed infanticide for a good cause

[modest adder]

maybe them being like, physically born was the reason none of them were truly hollow

[robust crypt]

physically as opposed to what

[modest adder]

because as said in the elegy for hallownest, “For none could tame our savage souls yet you the challenge met, Under palest watch, you taught, we changed, base instincts were redeemed”, he gave mind to the bugs of Hallownest, yet he needed a child without a mind to think

[robust crypt]

i'm confused how what you said after the comma at the end relates to the elegy

[modest adder]

I thought I explained it clearly

but apparently not

[robust crypt]

wait i might be getting onto it

so you're saying the reason the vessels had minds was because he gave other bugs minds as well

[modest adder]

no

[robust crypt]

then im lost

[modest adder]

The Pale King was sort of an anchor, giving all in Hallownest higher thought, or a “Mind”

no I guess that explains it

[modest adder]

yeah

[vocal seal]

Well i slightly explained to crowned from about genders and stuff

in dms

now he know how to call mango

[robust crypt]

who's crowned?

[vocal seal]

frog

crowned frog pfp gui

[modest adder]

now, serious question

[pale crystal]

That’s me

[modest adder]

in a straight 1v1, who wins in a fight: Shade Lord or Absolute Radiance with no pre-vessel fight to weaken the moth

[pale crystal]

I no understand such language

[vocal seal]

Shade lord cause multiple hands

[pale crystal]

Ah ok comrade

Good explanation

[robust crypt]

he got tentacles, no way she wins a fight against a giant tentacle monster

[modest adder]

but light stops them, because of light house

[robust crypt]

oh real

[rough wolf]

say hello to my new pfp

[modest adder]

no

[robust crypt]

hello new pfp

[rough wolf]

thanks

[modest adder]

it’s not Vespa

so I will not simp

[vocal seal]

w ell the voidmore flexible,i mean void is liquid so kinda cn take any form

[robust crypt]

why is the queen of a beehive a wasp

[vocal seal]

well,void more,can*

[modest adder]

why do the bees turn into drills?

[vocal seal]

so many mistakes in one string

[modest adder]

yeah and that flexibility gets stopped by light

and Radiance is the god of light

[robust crypt]

they're pokemon enjoyers

[vocal seal]

bc bees turns in the drills

nah its only lumafly light

[modest adder]

anyway do you think Hive Knight tapped that or was he forever a simp?

[vocal seal]

or else rad would stop void lord in p5 ending,

[robust crypt]

i think the light of a goddess would be enough to do the same as the light from some bugs

[modest adder]

no, they were weakened because they just fought the Knight

[vocal seal]

nah its different

[robust crypt]

it goes dark at the end because she's been weakened

[modest adder]

then they got jumped

[vocal seal]

weakness can affect by her attacks or strenghtness,

but not by permanent features like fucking being a sun

[robust crypt]

if she had no effect on void, she wouldn't have been able to escape the void tendrils after she gets knocked down on phase 1

[modest adder]

also she did do something about the void in the first phase of the fight. After falling down and getting grabbed, she immediately dispersed it

[vocal seal]

on last phase she shots lasers

[robust crypt]

we have the same mind

[vocal seal]

giant lasers

[modest adder]

also I bring back this question

[robust crypt]

oh i didn't even see that

[vocal seal]

idrk the hive knight lore like he was vespa’s simp or what

[modest adder]

he is the commander of the hive’s army

[vocal seal]

idrc actually its small character

[modest adder]

[rough wolf]

i hate hexatronic bots in tf2

[robust crypt]

too weak to kill a little void bug though, she wouldn't have let him

[vocal seal]

ok thatt is rude

[modest adder]

that’s it

i’m gonna say it

Hornet is Void

[vocal seal]

ok

my honest reaction on that joke

[modest adder]

[vocal seal]

papyrus

Hk offtopic being dead without some fruit around here

[robust crypt]

i mean i'm a fruit, but i could never be as fruit as mango

[pale crystal]

mango be fruity

[tawdry canopy]

fr

[rough wolf]

the only fruit i love is apples

[blissful rock]

i put grimm theme on alarm, i woke up instantly

[robust crypt]

grimm's theme is like a lullaby to me

i've fought him so much it doesn't even faze me

[blissful rock]

same

i beat him on radiant twice in mobile (both normal and nkg)

[swift vault]

Oh you doin P4
nice! this one is cool how far have you reached?

[half venture]

ive pv once

but ive beaten him and nkg on ascended

[swift vault]

well then you are close to achieve it :V

[brave blaze]

P3 was harder than P4 imo

[half venture]

its just markoth who gets me on low health than whatcher knights finish me

[swift vault]

double damage can be really tricky for many 👀

[brave blaze]

Double damage sucks

[half venture]

tbh your kinda right

it took me MONTHS to beat p3

[brave blaze]

Is NKG in P4?
Because he didn't appeared for me

[half venture]

no

you can fight nkg even if u banish the troupe

in godhome

[swift vault]

The next one yea but P4 already had the count of 10 bosses that is why no

[brave blaze]

Oh i get it

[brave blaze]

I banished the troupe on my main save 😭

[half venture]

but p3 has nine bosses if u dont save zote which i didnt

[half venture]

me too

[brave blaze]

I did
But i'm not really regreted
Grey prince zote is so fun

[half venture]

no i didnt save him on my main file

[swift vault]

GPZ is kinda tricky after Markoth

[half venture]

gpz is one of my favourite bosses

[brave blaze]

I can't even beat markoth on ascended help

[half venture]

its harder than abs rad on raidient

[swift vault]

Pogo strat is good
spells or quick hits

[half venture]

me too

[brave blaze]

Because absrad is a fair fight
Markoth's isn't

[half venture]

exactly

[brave blaze]

Imagine any markoth

[half venture]

NAH DONT GIVE EM IDEAS
