hk-general

[umbral finch]

Like both

But not both at once

[opal prawn]

To be really precise, it's either getting a dreamer or the wing's obtaining animation, which is the reason wings won't trigger infected crossroads if you're playing a randomizer

[languid yew]

Thank you. I have the game completed, even almost having radhog, but my friend is playing through and just got wings, and me and my other friend guiding him were confused

[brave blaze]

radhog is a really funny abbreviation

always think people are talking about a really cool pig when i see it

[languid yew]

It is funny tbh

[hard imp]

from demonspawn to silly green worm

[spare topaz]

mhm? you beat the pantheon? who cares, the real challenge is beating the pantheon without the wayward compass

noone ever did that

seems fine

[umbral finch]

Absolute hot garbage

[brave blaze]

is this rated on difficulty or just general enjoyment?

if its enjoyment id personally move the hollow knight up to B. not much of a challenge but it’s a beautifully crafted boss fight and a great visual/auditory story telling device

[west verge]

Just my enjoyment

[umbral finch]

Ohh

[brave blaze]

ill always be the number one hollow knight defender it doesnt have to be a hard fight to be a good boss

[west verge]

I agree xd

[umbral finch]

I mean it's just rlly slow

[brave blaze]

no? you can avoid its attacks pretty easily. the main thing that makes it harder is whether or not you have all the endgame powerups

not having shade dash makes it much less of a breeze

[umbral finch]

Yeah it's jus an. Ez boss

[brave blaze]

its also difficult enough that its not a total breeze your first time fighting him

i struggled some when i first got to it

even with shade dash

[spice willow]

https://tenor.com/view/cat-fast-cat-blanket-cute-gif-27420200

[brave blaze]

again though i think most of the value in the boss comes from how wonderfully crafted it is as a narrative device

the intention wasnt for it to be difficult, thats made clear enough by the fact it just starts stabbing itself partway through the fight and begins falling over just from the momentum of its own swings near the end

[umbral finch]

[brave blaze]

plus the way the music moves with the fight is wonderfully done

i had a similar experience w the soul of cinder in dark souls 3. not a crazy difficult boss but so well-done as a narrative piece that it more than made up for it

[vocal seal]

What the

[half wren]

It's quirrel on a beach

[fresh plank]

shamens trying to not drug the knight for five seconds

[brave blaze]

a peak into a dark twisted mind

[half wren]

It gets worse on my island

[brave blaze]

ive been getting an urge to play animal crossing again lately but id need to start a new island i cant face my islanders after abandoning them for like 2 years straight

[half wren]

Lol

I could lend you some non-native fruits to sell if you have online

[willow crane]

Why do I have a skill issue

[brave blaze]

sure, ill lyk if i need any!

[half wren]

Alr!

[half wren]

Same bestie. Who is the boss?

[willow crane]

Pure vessel, I'm practicing them and I've only won twice

[half wren]

Oh, I can't help there

I'm still on P3

[willow crane]

Hmmm

[half wren]

You mean the Pantheons, right?

[willow crane]

Yes

[half wren]

Ok

I'm on the 3rd one

[willow crane]

I'm practicing for the Pantheon

Yeah that one's annoying

[half wren]

Zote into uumuu into hornet isn't fun

I just wanna get past this

[willow crane]

Hmmmm

If you want to avoid uumuus attacks easily just slide on the wall

[half wren]

I get screwed bc I have low hp after zote, and then uumuu uses BS to use the jellies against me

[willow crane]

Just d-dark for half of zotes moves

[half wren]

Yea, then there's galien

Ppl tell me to just shriek

But then i have no soul for zote

[willow crane]

I would just do mini hops

[half wren]

[willow crane]

It's where you do a short hop

And then hit them with your nail

At a very fast pace

[half wren]

Oh ok

I'm on switch, so I may be unable to properly do that

[willow crane]

I'm on switch

[half wren]

Honestly makes it more difficult. 💪

Yooo switch gang

🤝

[willow crane]

Honestly I don't see what's wrong with the switch

[half wren]

Apparently

It runs SlOwEr

[willow crane]

That's dumb, I don't have any performance issues

It works just fine

Shade cloak is the goat

[half wren]

Ikr

[willow crane]

Anyways I'm going to go practice pure vessel, bye

[half wren]

GL switch bestie

[willow crane]

Tnx

[half wren]

Ofc

[plucky eagle]

same
fireball skips are harder tho (i think)

i had one lag spike, it was in the very large room in pop
never had any performance issues besides that

[willow crane]

It seems like it

Alr

[plucky eagle]

gonna have to get really really good at them tho lol

[willow crane]

Lol

I beat NKG hitless

[spare topaz]

Is it possible to see how much grubs i freed

[umbral finch]

Go to the grubfather crib

[spare topaz]

And count them one by one?

[umbral finch]

sure

I don actually know if there's a better way

[willow crane]

There isn't

[swift vault]

lag spike? 👀

[humble geode]

Naff has spawned in

[swift vault]

NAFF! nice to see ya
you made the PoP run?

[humble geode]

Nice to see you too Mango!
PoP run?

[swift vault]

i meant if you ever did a PoP run like (speedy)

[humble geode]

Nah, I want to tho, I’d have to make a new save and stuff

[swift vault]

oh yea...you cannot put mods, it is a lot harder to set

[lyric niche]

mango have you done any speedruns?

[humble geode]

Make a save dedicated to PoP, just close the game before finishing

[swift vault]

am a speedrunner Fant what kind of question is that?

[umbral finch]

[lyric niche]

i havent seen any of your speedruns

i didnt know

[swift vault]

Purevessel PoP AB Hitless

[lyric niche]

have you done any% before?

[swift vault]

never put a timer lol
below 55, it was a long time ago tho

[lyric niche]

below 55

my best is like an hour and a half(also my first actual speedrun that wasnt for an achievement)

i routed on the fly

[swift vault]

great! the fights are tricky because you only have fireball

[lyric niche]

i got some extra stuff tho

[swift vault]

i think my first ever run to get the silly achievement was 1 hour 40

[humble geode]

I found Hornet

[swift vault]

that means you do have all achievements right?

[lyric niche]

yeah i do have all achievements

[swift vault]

all achievements run when? 🥭

[plucky eagle]

we should do an all achievements speedrun race next

[swift vault]

heh might do it in the future

also heya Carrot

[plucky eagle]

hi mango !

[swift vault]

i thought the PoP run was 2:40~but it is actually 2:29

[plucky eagle]

nice

[swift vault]

for charmless is an ok time

[plucky eagle]

to me that’s an amazing time lol

[swift vault]

heh but when PV arrived the time went up a bit as expected

[fervent gazelle]

guys i think i made some one quit discord

[lyric niche]

how

[fervent gazelle]

so i asked how to make a screen shot

and someone said alf f4

and i said alt f4 these nuts...

he is still silent now...

[swift vault]

@plucky eagle you can easily get sub 5
go for it

[humble geode]

Can we call in a atom bomb on Markoth?

[fervent gazelle]

https://tenor.com/view/dunking-luigi-dunk-basketball-gif-13095397

[plucky eagle]

sub 5 minutes ?!
i still gotta actually get good at final room before i can even get close to that

[swift vault]

aww come on, the run there is with PV AB that is why the time went all up
you can do with the two guys

[plucky eagle]

yea but final room takes me like twice the amount of time it takes for me to finish the entire rest of pop

[delicate sigil]

[swift vault]

[delicate sigil]

Why the emoji-😭

[swift vault]

why you put the emoji in the first place? 😆

[delicate sigil]

As a-

WHY ARE YALL REACTING- 😭

[delicate sigil]

Cause I don't know how to enter the convo-

[plucky eagle]

you’ve entered it

[delicate sigil]

Fantastic-

Now if you don't mind me I'm gonna blast Radiance's theme in my ears.

[swift vault]

whaat is making you lose so much time on Room 4 Carrot?

[plucky eagle]

i’m just bad at it, so i have to redo it over and over again
ill try it again later with actually good charms

[swift vault]

.....i mean that room with charms is basically Pogo followed by a Dash all the time

you know how to Pogo Dash efficiently?

[plucky eagle]

yea it’s the last part i don’t dash at the right time lol
or i mess up with pogoing the spear thing right before the last saw

[swift vault]

oh you will get the timing :P
Sharp Shadow can literally skip the Moving Saw

[plucky eagle]

oo thanks for the tip
i was using not the best of charms yesterday when i was doing pop lol

[undone chasm]

Charms don't really matter for pop

[swift vault]

Sharp Shadow is kinda hard for people who are starting PoP but it actually is really neat if used right

[plucky eagle]

glowing womb

[swift vault]

a lot slower

[plucky eagle]

i can get used to ss
just probably not dashmaster

[swift vault]

Dash Master is Top charm for movement......recommend to learn it

[undone chasm]

Who cares about speed, your dying chances are still the same

[lyric niche]

its a speedrun

[undone chasm]

Ohh

I thought we were talking about a casual clear

[lyric niche]

also faster means less time of your life spent on it

[swift vault]

🤯

[plucky eagle]

the joystick makes it hard to not dash down

[swift vault]

Practicing all day to save 2 seconds yea less time 👍

[plucky eagle]

i’ve already cleared it casually lol

[swift vault]

Thommie is secretely the best PoP Charmless runner that is why he said that

[plucky eagle]

🤯

[swift vault]

kay next two to take down will be Pomi Charmless No hit
and PoP Clawless.....uff dunno how much time those will take

[plucky eagle]

how would pop clawless even be possible

[undone chasm]

[swift vault]

[minor echo]

i FUCKING HATE when pure vessel teleports on top of me and does that sword floor attack

[swift vault]

the time will come Carrot the time will come

[minor echo]

i have NO TIME to react

[undone chasm]

Kid named ddark:

[minor echo]

i cant even ddark

[swift vault]

stay right beside and up slash

[minor echo]

sometimes he just doesnt jump when hes going for that attack

he just teleports on top of me

[minor echo]

i cant do anything

[swift vault]

oh okay understood...well you will get the timing

[umbral finch]

React betta

Jk jk jk jk

[swift vault]

[minor echo]

sometimes he also does this right after that explosive circles attack

and since theres so much going on on the screen i cant even see him on top of me

[swift vault]

Carrot taught Mango how to deal with PV, you can get tips

[plucky eagle]

what

[minor echo]

teach me your ways carrot

[swift vault]

yea Carrot Taught AB PV

[plucky eagle]

what 🤯

[swift vault]

Radiant nail only

Carrot amazing, please teach

[minor echo]

sometimes i also miss the pogo on that 3 slashes attack

and end up getting hit

ive been practicing him for 30 minutes bruh

[lyric niche]

wow carrot is this true

[brave blaze]

idk man it seems kinda lackluster to me

[minor echo]

no wonder why i only beat p4 once

[swift vault]

three hours practicing...you will get this, the Pogo can be performed in different situation which makes it easier

[umbral finch]

https://tenor.com/view/chess-chesscom-chess-gif-reaction-react-gif-25967421

[minor echo]

i'll keep trying until im confident enough to beat p4

markoth also almost ended my run

and traitor lord

[swift vault]

Carrot favorite boss? i think it is PV right next Markoth

[minor echo]

bro loves suffering

[plucky eagle]

uh
well
it might be that (eventually)
markoth is a cool boss

[plucky eagle]

yes i do

[swift vault]

am saying Carrot is something else

but Carrot does not know how to Wall Cling

[plucky eagle]

yea

[swift vault]

What?!

@plucky eagle you are better than Cotton!? Wall Cling tutorial next day please? 🥺

if you teach this, Mango will do every Skip in low%

[plucky eagle]

[swift vault]

[plucky eagle]

[swift vault]

[swift vault]

I’ve got 2 bindings done on p2, 2 more bindings to go

Is there anything else that I should try to specifically avoid?

[stoic heron]

Some thing in god home are useful in the lore (P5 moment) but the reset can be ignored

did you get the achievement tho?

both

why would you do that to the best character

Not original, but my favorite is Quirrel

Then Jupiter is your best bet

Meet patt, my very stinky depressed furby

[plucky eagle]

dreamnail everyone in spirits glade except for one random ghost and revek so revek knows he failed his job

the te run and last any% run i did them first try

but the other two runs i had a time loss early game

one time i killed vfk the second he screamed, stunning me unless i quit out and te run i died to moss knights

[heady roost]

a character with a game coming out soon

yo anika

u are no longer here

[minor echo]

do you need awoken dreamnail to get lurien

hmmm cool

i was thinking if it is possible to beat the game without picking up a single charm

and you would get dream wielder if awoken dn was needed

thats interesting

yeah im adding that to my to-do list

im just thinking of new ways to play hk so i dont keep doing the same thing

a no map run would also be cool but really hard for me

i play with compass always on and i stare at the map for minutes wondering what to do next

at least its gonna help me memorize everything even more

damn i need silksong

[delicate badge]

[agile pasture]

None of them are even comas

it was from another race
(i lost, again)

it was a lot closer this time tho, and also only died on thk (kinda proud of that )

[swift vault]

Carrot and Fant running these categories, i am almost going back and run all these again

[plucky eagle]

[plucky eagle]

fant is god gamer, he gets ahead by like 15 minutes no matter how bad he does

nice! Fant doing good progress

Fant does not want P5 runs

what is your best time on P5 Carrot?

[plucky eagle]

i haven’t gotten to p5 yet

Someone once said something about how thinking means existing.
Or, well, being. Same thing basically-

[signal vigil]

Anyone know where I can get a custom wallflag? I'm trying to get an HK flag done

[brave blaze]

Just got a 24 hour time out in a server im in because

I wasnt sleeping

Cuz during the day

Its just stress

[prisma sapphire]

hello! new here. semi-new hk player. i've been playing since last winter with a bit of a break in between then and now, but have been pouring hours in again the last couple weeks 👋🏻

[brave blaze]

Nice! People here are glad you like the game!

And we hope you continue to love it as much as us

[dull oracle]

Who is we?

I fucking hate this game

[brave blaze]

Lol fr

I love hate it

[plucky eagle]

same

[gloomy mica]

hi guys

is the community as in much shambles as ive heard

[dull oracle]

Not really, only a few people are insane

We dont really talk about Hk that much

[plucky eagle]

don’t think so

[dull oracle]

@sterile shore is insane he only say the samething over and over again

[void mortar]

I mean some people are fine

Some are crazy

And some don’t talk about HK at all

[dull oracle]

People are just pretending to be insane too

[winter nacelle]

😮

[prisma sapphire]

well, to be fair, i think you have to be at least a tiny bit insane to be into this game.

[winter nacelle]

anyways ima do late night games anyone else?

[void mortar]

Most people here who actually try yea

But then theres a few who play for fun and chill and they are mentally okay

[winter nacelle]

true true

[prisma sapphire]

i play for fun :) how long it remains fun i don't know, but i'm already practicing godhall fights

[void mortar]

Anyway I have finally reached the point every radhog player dreads. markoth

[gaunt geyser]

Hollow Knight my beloved

[void mortar]

I am insane

[prisma sapphire]

what's radhog? i'm new lol

[gaunt geyser]

All bindings or just radiant

[winter nacelle]

silksong made half of the people in hollow knight go insane

[void mortar]

Its where you get every hall of gods boss hitless

[prisma sapphire]

ohhhh

[void mortar]

Radhog = radiant hall of gods

[prisma sapphire]

markoth eh? i've done his attuned and ascended fights but i've done no radiant fights yet

[void mortar]

Yea

[winter nacelle]

nvm the general 2 might cause me to go insane if i stay for 1 hour

[void mortar]

He steals your floor

[gaunt geyser]

Do you need tips for radkoth

[void mortar]

Definitely

[prisma sapphire]

oh no floor, that's a twist

[winter nacelle]

shockers no floor lol

[ashen wadi]

the best tip for radkoth is don't do radkoth

[prisma sapphire]

lol

[void mortar]

Good point

[winter nacelle]

amazing tip

[gaunt geyser]

Thats already part of ascended

Well i recommend using nail arts to safely get hits from a distance

Dont waste soul on phase 1

[prisma sapphire]

oh. i don't remember it being crazy. hmm maybe i should look at that again

[void mortar]

Charms?

[gaunt geyser]

Stay on the right side (and wall) of the arena because this way the blades dont spawn inside a wall

[void mortar]

Markoth was good before the ascended version existed

[gaunt geyser]

Strength, Shaman, Nailmasters Glory, Soul Eater

[winter nacelle]

how i feel when i come back to myla

[gaunt geyser]

Its peak form is radiant or ascended id say

[prisma sapphire]

so sad. i miss myla

[winter nacelle]

same

[void mortar]

Myla is fine cuz she drops 10 geo

[winter nacelle]

aint no way he killed myla lol

[prisma sapphire]

man i did too 😔 she aggroed me and i panicked

[winter nacelle]

I just accepedt my fate

[void mortar]

She should drop more geo for being a special enemy and whatnot tho

Ten is like none by the time she is killable

[winter nacelle]

i mean they thought you would never kill ya friend

[void mortar]

I forgot she was there

[prisma sapphire]

i just leave her be in new files now

[void mortar]

And killed her

Shes sorta like elderbug you gotta talk to her or the save is not valid

[prisma sapphire]

i try to get all dialogues, i love this game

[winter nacelle]

Who agrees with murder is okay guys

[void mortar]

This playthrough going well Encounters zote

Bro sits through every single 2100 or so words of zote dialogue

[winter nacelle]

same.

[void mortar]

Traitor lord is right

[winter nacelle]

super right

[void mortar]

L mantis lords with only 1 damage cuz they didnt drink their orange juice

[winter nacelle]

super true Absowute wadiance

[prisma sapphire]

traitor lord stinks for killing cloth

[void mortar]

My cloth survived

Cuz i never found her in ancient basin i think

[winter nacelle]

thats a fact thats is true

[winter nacelle]

same and thank i didnt

[prisma sapphire]

wait wha she can live??

[void mortar]

Yea

[winter nacelle]

duh

[void mortar]

If you dont talk to her

[prisma sapphire]

omg life changing

[void mortar]

She chills in dirtmouth

Asleep

[winter nacelle]

yes

[prisma sapphire]

man. i love her dialogues but that's pretty nice you can keep her alive

[void mortar]

Traitor lord good character tho

Bad boss fight but still

[winter nacelle]

he is kinda hard tho

[prisma sapphire]

i like the lore around traitor, i just wasn't prepared for that to happen in the fight

[winter nacelle]

idk why

[prisma sapphire]

le'mer

[void mortar]

First playthrough I died more to the path back to traitor lord than traitor lord himself

[prisma sapphire]

same

[winter nacelle]

same

[ashen wadi]

my first playthrough was pre-lifeblood so he was even easier than he is now

[void mortar]

Especially since i had sharp shadow

[winter nacelle]

i think we are the only 3 typeing lol

nvm 4

[void mortar]

Fr

[winter nacelle]

anyways game night people

[prisma sapphire]

sharp shadow threw me off too lol

[void mortar]

Traitor lord is wayy to easy for being such a cool character

[ashen wadi]

and for being what is essentially the penultimate main boss

[prisma sapphire]

all the too easy bosses have good godhall fights later

[void mortar]

Why are the easy bosses normally harder in godhome than the hard bosses

[ashen wadi]

you spend less time learning them because you don't really have to

[void mortar]

Like NKG, pretty simple once you memorise it, but hell no vengefly king on a whole new level

[winter nacelle]

im doing game night so heres your chance lol

[delicate sigil]

He was so annoying on ascended.

[void mortar]

Fr

Took way to many tries on radiant than vengefly king should have

[prisma sapphire]

i just beat the third colosseum trial for the first time omg 😭 i hate this trial so much

[spare topaz]

HOORAY I GOT THE LAST PALE ORE

[half wren]

Yay

[delicate sigil]

I hate trial of fool, What charms did you use?

[spare topaz]

Broklemm

[half wren]

Broklemm?

[spare topaz]

Made him spend 5k geos of old stuff i sold to him

[half wren]

Imagine being a historian lol

[spare topaz]

Do i spare the nailsmith or do i kill him with spell :trol:

[half wren]

Spare

Killing with spells is evil

Btw you don't need to tag in hk off topic

[spare topaz]

Oh ok

[half wren]

[spare topaz]

But tomfoolery

[half wren]

No

[spare topaz]

Eh alright i want to see those two together

[half wren]

Not a spell

[half wren]

[spare topaz]

If it was possible to kill him with sharp shadow i would be crying rn

[half wren]

Did you just shade dash through him?

[spare topaz]

Yeah

[half wren]

Oof

[spare topaz]

Hes alive

[half wren]

Good

[spare topaz]

Time to clap the knight but its hollow

[half wren]

Ooooo

THK is a fun fight

Enjoy the banger theme

[spare topaz]

Time to fight with strong nail, dreamshield, fragile greed, and sprint master

which is ok but im not using wayward compass

So its impossible

[half wren]

I'm sorry, DREAMSHIELD

That's a handicap, dude

why is that a joke

[spare topaz]

Ik dreamshield sucks

[half wren]

Also sprintmaster isn't bad

[spare topaz]

The charms i said

[half wren]

Oh mb

[spare topaz]

I had to choose smth

[half wren]

Thorns moment

[spare topaz]

But like

For what i saw

After i beat THK i respawn in the bench right?

And then i can redo

[half wren]

Credits roll, main menu, then when you go back to the save, then yes

[spare topaz]

Doesn't save

[half wren]

He gives no % btw

[spare topaz]

Oh ok

[half wren]

Gl

[spare topaz]

Tank yuh

[brave herald]

The only time where the Traitor Lord is based

[half wren]

Np

[spare topaz]

Im fighting him rn

That little fucking orange blob

[half wren]

No need for a play by play

[brave herald]

Ah, giving yourself a handicap so the enemies have a chance. How noble of you :D

[half wren]

Focus your mind

I had to, to beat hornet

[spare topaz]

I know i know

If i would be using wayward compass he would be dead by now

(jokes aside im never taking wayward compass off)

[brave herald]

I strive to be as kind as you but I just love murdering innocents just so I can get $5

[half wren]

I said that once. Here I am now

Trust me, eventually you will like a sixth sense for the areas' general layouts

[brave herald]

For the most part I do have that but sometimes I don't rember when I'm going

[spare topaz]

Best geoguessr knight ever

[half wren]

Real

[brave herald]

Such as how to get to the top entrance of Deepnest

[half wren]

I have deepnest down pretty well

I unironically enjoy deepnest

Except the devouts

[brave herald]

I only entrance for Deepnest I go is the Mantis tribe one

[spare topaz]

HES FUCKING STABBING HIMSELF

[half wren]

I think I once put off deepnest for so long I went in through core

[half wren]

Heal now

[spare topaz]

WHOS TELLING HIM THAT STABBING HIMSELF WITH HIS NAIL WONT GIVE HIM A STAND

[brave herald]

Mood tbh

[half wren]

He's doing his job

[spare topaz]

no soul 🗿

[half wren]

Smack him when he stabs himself

[brave herald]

He's actually trying to kill the Infection

[spare topaz]

HES FUCKING FLYING

[spare topaz]

Im so smart that i know

[half wren]

Yep

[brave herald]

Mood tbh

[half wren]

THK is truly tragic

[spare topaz]

TF DO U MEAN MOOD

[brave herald]

Is that not a mood?

[half wren]

Mood - slang for feeling with someone or thing

[spare topaz]

Gold roger revives john cena to annihilate jeff bezos the protector of snickers

M o o d

[brave herald]

Get infected by a moth god and then just start flying after stabbing yourself. Sounds like a mood to me

[half wren]

I hate moths bc that goddess

[spare topaz]

Uhhhhh

Im missing some lore who tf is the goddess of moths

[brave herald]

Goddess? So it's a female? Well now my opinion on her is completely different!

[half wren]

Yes

[brave herald]

Ur mom

[half wren]

She's very annoying

[spare topaz]

Oh wait nvm my game was bugged

When he was supposed to expell that many orange blobs he flew at me and kept making me take impact damage

Nvm

[brave herald]

Green blobs?

[spare topaz]

Not a bug

[brave herald]

WDYM? Hollow Knight is full of bugs

[half wren]

The acid everywhere thing?

[spare topaz]

Can i skip the credits

[half wren]

Nope

[heady roost]

Dont 🔥

[half wren]

Not that I know of anyway

[prisma sapphire]

unbreakable heart, shaman stone, spell twister, smth else i forget

[brave herald]

Yes

I know how to on controller but not keyboard

[spare topaz]

Holy burger when the soul is ste- WHAT HAPPENED TO MY MAIN MENU

[half wren]

You can change it

[spare topaz]

You goober its fire

[half wren]

You sounded distressed

Tbh

[brave herald]

If you are playing on pc you should download the Pale Court mod, it gives a menu background that is dope

[half wren]

What's the best vanilla menu theme?

I think it's the steel soul one

[spare topaz]

Ps5

[spare topaz]

U get one after completing steel soul?

[brave herald]

Darn

[half wren]

Oh mb, uh surprise

But yes, it's fire

I only recently got it

[spare topaz]

R u able to send a screenie

[half wren]

Yea one sec

[brave herald]

Personally I like the Infected one the most out of all the vanilla menu's

[spare topaz]

I would like to see shade wings

[spare topaz]

Ohhhhh thats sick

[half wren]

Yea ikr

[bleak osprey]

I never even noticed, I thought this was the normal one. lol.

[half wren]

Lmao

[spare topaz]

Would be like a longer monarch wings or a triple jump

[brave herald]

I wonder what mods there are that add even more menu backgrounds cuz all I know that does is Pale Court

[spare topaz]

Anyways just as i said i didnt take wayward compass off

[half wren]

I wanna see more cool charms tbh

Oh well we'll have silksong after the TF2 fandom dies

[spare topaz]

Wait i need awoken dreamnail for kingsoul right?

[half wren]

Yes

[spare topaz]

[brave herald]

Yep

Not too hard to get

[spare topaz]

How much essence do i need for awoken dreamnail

[bleak osprey]

funnily enough there are some very weird charm combinations that do extra stuff, that many people don't even know about. crazy. They are not OP though, mostly fun.

[half wren]

1800

[spare topaz]

[brave herald]

Most of the dream warriors and dream bosses aren't too hard

[spare topaz]

Pls tell easiest one

[brave herald]

The hardest I'd say is Failed Champion

[half wren]

Yeah, my fav is how you can stack hiveblood and jonis

[spare topaz]

I fucking hate saul masters and saul twisters

[bleak osprey]

white defender / soul tyrant are ok, then dream warriors are also ok for the most part.

[half wren]

Easiest is defo lost kin

[spare topaz]

Oh alr

[brave herald]

Lost Kin is very easy

[bleak osprey]

I wouldn't say that, but i guess its different for everyone.

[brave herald]

Just Broken Vessel just slightly more agro

[half wren]

And no headbang

[brave herald]

Best bring a soul charm setup for it

[half wren]

His headphones broke

[bleak osprey]

Even Zote is relatively fine in Bretta's hut on the first try, he doesnt have a lot of his abilities. He is much stronger in pantheons.

[brave herald]

Galien is my least favourite Dream Warrior boss

[half wren]

Galien, no eyes, elder hu, and markoff

[bleak osprey]

I think he is one of the easiest. spam attacks on him with nail then finish with 1/2 shrieks with shaman stone..

[spare topaz]

Hu is the easiest for me which makes it my favorite

[half wren]

He's simple, but annoying

[spare topaz]

Whats a soul setup

[half wren]

Like nosk and mawlek

[spare topaz]

OH I FORGOT

I HAVE TO STILL FIGJT THE MAWLEJ BOSS

[half wren]

Soul eater, shaman, Spell twister and soul catcher

[spare topaz]

I FORGOR HIS LOCATION

[half wren]

Lol

[bleak osprey]

on first playthrough, mawlek was possibly my worst optional boss.

[brave herald]

Every other Dream Warrior stays far above the ground which is same for Galien but sometimes the prick likes to go down right when I'm moving under him causing contact damage. Don't like Galien purely for that

[spare topaz]

How much notches

[half wren]

11

That's the max

[spare topaz]

Is there a chance for my little 8 notches

[half wren]

Remove soul catcher and spell twister for grubsong

Actually

Remove soul eater

[spare topaz]

My only soul related charms are soul catches, shaman stone, and grubsong

[half wren]

Put spell twister and soul catcher baxk in

Oh

[spare topaz]

Excluding the pets or how u want to call them

[muted jasper]

gwnj

[spare topaz]

Nvm i meant 7 notches

[brave herald]

Elder Hu trying not to do "that" attack for one second challenge (Impossible)

[delicate badge]

cookie

[spare topaz]

Im keeping wayward compass on

[half wren]

All of em + compass

[toxic nova]

girlwithnojob8682

[bleak osprey]

even in pantheons I only use shaman stone from the soul ones. I like grubsong a lot but its mostly useful for platforming/exploring.

[delicate badge]

sof

[muted jasper]

What are you, stalking her ?

[spare topaz]

Got 1 extra notch

[half wren]

You shouldn't

[spare topaz]

Man if only sharp shadow was 1 notch

[half wren]

I said all of the soul charms + compass

[spare topaz]

Yeah

I got 1 notch left

Wait

Nvm quickfocus is 2 notches

[half wren]

It's not

It's 3💀

[spare topaz]

O h

[half wren]

Yea

[spare topaz]

Holy shit deep focus is 4

[half wren]

Yeah, not worth outside a certain area

[spare topaz]

Anyways sporeshroom or sprint master or nailmaster's glory or dream wielder

[nimble hamlet]

i'm in love with the shape of unn

[spare topaz]

Oooo dream wielder id fast dreamnail and dreamnail gives soul

[half wren]

Slug lol

[half wren]

Yes, use that for your build

[spare topaz]

I don't have slug grrrr

[daring badger]

best bang for buck charm imo

[half wren]

Almost as good as compass

[daring badger]

true

even after 300 hours

i cant get my way around

[half wren]

The real compass

[half wren]

Was the friends we killed along the way

[spare topaz]

W charms?

[half wren]

That works

Not optimal, but it'll do

[spare topaz]

Wait where do i even find the lost kin-

[half wren]

Broken vessel

Dream nail his corpse

[spare topaz]

Oh alr

[half wren]

GL

[torpid trout]

[slate spire]

It's just a range charm

[torpid trout]

[spare topaz]

Can someone answer pls

[opal jewel]

You can't get better if you don't try

[half wren]

It just extends the nail

[torpid trout]

I'm using the translator now

[spare topaz]

Mb i meant uh

The stanky charm

[half wren]

Crest does

Yes

[spare topaz]

Hooray im getting it

[torpid trout]

you're right

[spare topaz]

And replacing the drim wilder with it

[bleak osprey]

if you want more damage per hit, you need strength one. I tend to use that literally everywhere.

[torpid trout]

M, I went through the whole hк on 112%

Am I cool?

did I translate the last two messages correctly?

[delicate badge]

Yes it's correct

And yes good job on 112%

[torpid trout]

yeee

[torpid trout]

thanks

[spare topaz]

YOOOO I CAN SUPER DASH INTO THE LOST KIN TO GET SOME STANKY DAMAGE

[torpid trout]

I'm going to play terraria

[torpid trout]

ura

bb my friends

[opal jewel]

Did you do the last pantheon?

That's when people get cool

[torpid trout]

уеs

[opal jewel]

Then you're cool

[half wren]

[torpid trout]

😎

[opal jewel]

Yeah do P5 rn or I ban you

[half wren]

Small issue

Zote's a bully

[opal jewel]

[half wren]

Although

I have done nkg. Once

I lost my mind that day

[prisma sapphire]

i did nkg tonight, just the regular fight

[half wren]

Question: is radiant tmg really something everyone does easily?

[prisma sapphire]

first time clearing

[half wren]

I have an asshole friend who takes our skill issue joke too far

[crisp zephyr]

Tmg was first try nkg was 4th for me

[half wren]

Oh. I guess he's right there.

Then Again I do have a skill issue

[ashen wadi]

tmg is pretty consistent so once you have the fight down it's a relatively easy one to do radiant

[crisp zephyr]

I think it's not necessarily that tmg is super easy, it's that there's minimal overlap in attacks so if you can deal with each in a bubble it's just consistency. You also learn it well since nkg is just super tmg so going back to tmg is like slow motion

[half wren]

Yeah I have him radiant. Just curious

[crisp zephyr]

Same for nkg minus the slow bit

[prisma sapphire]

sorry, newb here, which fight is tmg?

[half wren]

Troupe master

[crisp zephyr]

Troupe Master Grimm

[prisma sapphire]

oh got it

i was able to hitless two phases of that guy but i cracked in the third

[half wren]

My friend keeps saying every boss I struggle on is easy

[crisp zephyr]

I speedran the game already before godhome came out tho

I didn't do anything that killed grimm but the skill transfers

[half wren]

It's sometimes funny, tho usually just annoying

Anyway, thanks

[prisma sapphire]

that kind of down talking skill is kinda bleh. your feelings are valid.

i would be irritated too

[crisp zephyr]

Yeah people find dof stuff hard

And like nobody cares how easy a time u had the first time sorta thing

It's about improving as a player and being able to be proud of overcoming challenges you meet

[gloomy tinsel]

bals

[half wren]

I often forget that I only beat hornet 1 this march, I've made huge progress since then

[prisma sapphire]

i've grown a lot as a player playing this game. the skill ceiling is so high though, just beating the game is a feat really.

[crisp zephyr]

Yeah I love how tight the movement is / how much skill expression

[prisma sapphire]

it's so good

[crisp zephyr]

It's like a totally different game watching top players movement / combat

[half wren]

Oh, so you know how there's that one person who took 20 hours for hornet 1?

[jovial hull]

its pantapogo time

[half wren]

That was me

Hiii Nix!✨

[jovial hull]

https://youtu.be/ZEXS_UamAeI or TAS

[spare topaz]

I just realized u can cheese lost kin so im gonna go search for weaver song

[half wren]

GL

[jovial hull]

Javier has actually made some improvements to this since posting it

[bleak osprey]

yeah couldn't agree more about the skill ceiling thing. My first run in this game was mostly embarassing, I struggled literally on the easiest bosses and fights. crazy. I love how perfect the mechanics are and how better you get over time and practice.

[half wren]

Like, I beat Radiant Grimm, and he says, and I quote
'Dude, who hasn't. Skill issue'

[crisp zephyr]

Pantapogo is wild

Idk how he did it so consistently

I was like maybe 1/4

Do glad new epogo setups were found

[half wren]

Gm

[bleak osprey]

I feel like sharp shadow will give a run for my money on p4. With this lineup it should help a lot.

[spare topaz]

Dude, who hasn't beat nightmare king grim 7 times in a row with only using dreamshield as attack without wayward compass? Skill issue.

[half wren]

Ikr. Imagine

Who hasn't done R6 charmless with one hand and blindfolded, in addition to having keys jingling

[jovial hull]

ye its rly weird

[half wren]

Skill issue imo IIRC ngl

[crisp zephyr]

Sounds insecure tbh

[half wren]

He has all the completion thingies tho

Why'd he be insecure about that

[crisp zephyr]

Genuinely good players tend to be the least likely to downplay others accomplishments

And more likely to encourage / support

[half wren]

We do have a joke of haha skill issue

[wet ermine]

pringles

[bleak osprey]

yes but people can be different too.

[half wren]

But he takes it 5 miles from the line

[spare topaz]

I HATE THOSE SHIELDED SPIDERS

[half wren]

|the line |where he takes it

[jovial hull]

I have to use it bc its the fastest setup I can do with my current equipment and I can't do any dmg tank setup like this one

[delicate badge]

The way they glitch scares me

[crisp zephyr]

What gear do u have / what category is it?

Spelless hitless or something?

[jovial hull]

Shade-soul route TE but its TAS so im rerouting

I got fury and did itemless baldur

im not getting VS

so thats why. I just did fury elder hu and im overcharmed fury and shamans so the explosion does 4 dmg

[jovial hull]

this clip is from my itemsync any% tas, which im putting on hold for TE

[crisp zephyr]

Oh for a tas

[jovial hull]

yeah

I just finished fungus 2_10

[daring badger]

?psa- wait nvm

[bleak osprey]

Celeste is more for pure platformer fans imo, its a very nice little game, enjoyed it a lot.

[delicate badge]

You though this is #off-topic ?

[iron gate]

I have exactly one trophy left for hk and 2 for celeste and I'm avoiding them wholly for now.

[daring badger]

no ace is a off topic regular

[spare topaz]

BITCH TF WAS THAT ROUND SPIDER

[half wren]

Do farewell

[daring badger]

so a joke

[delicate badge]

😮

[half wren]

Creepy ass mf, huh

[crisp zephyr]

Sure but if ur making other ppl feel shit ur not being different ur just being an ass

[jovial hull]

deathless blindfolded no controller/keyboard fwg

you have to play with just a mouse.

[half wren]

Ong

Bet Nix could do it half asleep too

They're that powerful

[crisp zephyr]

Yeah, on average tho ppl in the speedrunning server who are on avg rally good are way more supportive than most the ppl stroking their egos in this server

[jovial hull]

raven stfu iirc

[half wren]

I'm complimenting you, dude

[bleak osprey]

@half wren you gave up on p3? imo you can do it, just practice a lot on the bosses you have trouble with. Its very doable with enough practice. find the inner strength to go for it.

[half wren]

No, just haven't started het

Proly gonna suffer through Radiant Zote

[bleak osprey]

lol why do that to yourself. ascended is fine.

[half wren]

Oh

Ok, then on to ascended hornet 2

[spare topaz]

Test

[half wren]

Test

[bleak osprey]

i haven't bothered with radiant versions of anything yet. They are not really needed. maybe one day.

[spare topaz]

Hooray

[half wren]

Aaaaaa

I only radiant the bosses I enjoy, and elder hu

[ocean schooner]

unbreakable heart is so underrated, literally carried me trough p5

[half wren]

Heart ftw

[bleak osprey]

thats nice to hear, never used it.

[half wren]

I had all unbreakables before kings brand

[bleak osprey]

true enough, but thankfully i have upgraded everything on my main save and still have around 5-6k geo left.

[spare topaz]

DAWG THOSE FLY PETS EXPLODE?

[half wren]

Yep

[spare topaz]

WEAVER'S DEN DOES NOT GIVE SOUL

[half wren]

Add grubsong

[spare topaz]

Do i keep soul catcher

[half wren]

Not really

It barely gives a bonus

[bleak osprey]

I use the strength one literally everywhere, but thats just me.

not really, at least not at this point after steel soul run. But I tend to favour grubsong on exploration for this. for the harder platform areas at least and for times when I mess up.

[half wren]

If you die at all it breaks

And so does your will

[bleak osprey]

not in dreams/gh.

[half wren]

Ik

Or nkg

[bleak osprey]

watcher knights is one of those that can end a run, if not recently practiced. and I love strength there. but its mostly an exception. they are notorious for ending speedruns as well.

[half wren]

And heart imo

Got me through wk

2

Besides, I have skill issue

I die. Frequently

[bleak osprey]

agreed I overutilized strength and heart (both fragile) in steel soul 100%.

[half wren]

MoP, Qslash beg to differ

Ik

But you need soul

That is what I just said

[spare topaz]

Cheesed the lost kin

[half wren]

Yay

[crisp zephyr]

Strength qs shaman and either twister, heart or 2 of grubsong, nmg, steady body or dwielder is also like super solid

Only real exception being colo where you can overcharm eater
