[brave blaze]

Yah

Qg

[sudden cedar]

ah

[royal karma]

You can dash through every single one of his attacks, it's the best strategy

[thorny glacier]

nah bc i struggled at the start sm then he just became rly easy

[swift vault]

surprisingly Wraiths is better lol
sad you have only first dive

[thorny glacier]

dont rly remember my strategy tho

[royal karma]

Even better if you have Sharp shadow

Which is the best charm in the game

[thorny glacier]

eh not needed

[sudden cedar]

i just noticed that you're 113% percent

how

[royal karma]

I got the secret secret secret secret secret ending

[sudden cedar]

||mr mushroom?||

[brave blaze]

My fav ending

[dim ravine]

[royal karma]

I won't spoil it but it involves ||gorb||

[sudden cedar]

i dont care about spoilers

i had the entire game spoiled before i played it

[royal karma]

Do you care that I'm just goofing

[sudden cedar]

no lmao

[royal karma]

The actual secret ending is when you hit Grimm when he's bowing

[sudden cedar]

ah

[royal karma]

The entire HK Fandom comes to your house and beats the shit out of you

[sudden cedar]

they havent showed up yet

[royal karma]

And then before you go to heaven God shows you the results screen and it says 113%

[sudden cedar]

its been at least a year

[brave blaze]

The first time that I was fighting Grimm, I hit him and then cried myself to sleep

[royal karma]

You must live in like Siberia or smthn

[sudden cedar]

no i live in ohio

[royal karma]

You will be crying for mercy very soon

[sudden cedar]

so same thing

[royal karma]

That explains alot

[sudden cedar]

yeah ikr

[brave blaze]

Killed her

[brave blaze]

😭

Wait am I getting to see Mom?

[heady dew]

yes

[plucky hemlock]

i decided to fight NKG and i have only one thing to say

WHAT THE F#CK

[brave blaze]

I didn’t know this is where you got the white fragment

[royal karma]

Agreed

Don't worry it'll get easier after a few weeks

[heady dew]

I know he’s hot isn’t he

[heady dew]

I did it in only 6 hours

[plucky hemlock]

It looks and sounds amazing but JESUS

[heady dew]

he’s so hot ikr

[plucky hemlock]

......no he's a menace to my masks

[heady dew]

and he’s hot

And he has the best boss theme in the game

[brave blaze]

Can I go talk to the mantis Lords, or something after defeating her?

[heady dew]

And he’s the best boss in the game

[sudden cedar]

Wrong

[heady dew]

go to the room above the arena and have a look

[sudden cedar]

the best boss is dung defender

[brave blaze]

Well, I know about mother

[heady dew]

white defender better

[sudden cedar]

well

[plucky hemlock]

I kinda like watcher knights tbh

[heady dew]

what

[sudden cedar]

he's not real is he

[brave blaze]

Are you talking about the mantis Lords arena or the traitor lord

[heady dew]

Mantis lords

[brave blaze]

Oh ok

[plucky hemlock]

Either way i would like to meet whoever designed NKG and both shake their hand and stab them

[plucky hemlock]

Amazing boss

[heady dew]

[sudden cedar]

[royal karma]

NOT true

Sisters of Battle SUPREMACY

[storm wraith]

Did you know that

You Actually need to get an ability known as the "Soap Cloak" and the charm "Sharp Soap" to deal damage to a boss known as the "Dung Defender", wich also has a 0.575% chance to replace Traitor Lord and the shade gate at queens gardens, replacing the shade gate with the stink gate.

Pretty cool amirite?

yeah it gives you 5%

it's actually 117%, not 112%, wich is a common misconception in the HK community.

Yeah, everything that's on the internet is 100% true and shouldn't be questioned.

i read that on the internet so it must be true

[royal karma]

Yo look it's nostalgia critic

[glass ridge]

ZOE IS SO ANNOYING HOW MANY PRECEPTS DOES THIS MAN HAVE

[heady dew]

57

[glass ridge]

Im close now then

[lime briar]

me but with elder hu

[ocean nacelle]

Me with absrad

[heady dew]

Ignore the shake their hand part and you have my opinion on winged nosk

[lime briar]

actually yeah take out the handshake for me too i dont wanna touch whoever made elder hu

[empty fiber]

me irl

[glass ridge]

So zote huh

Killed him once

And then again

And again

This man keeps adding more and more to his name

[scenic frost]

Same with markoth and nosk/flying nosk but without the shaking hand part and only the stabbing

[versed cave]

this game’s characters are so cute

[agile pasture]

And you get to kill them : D

[versed cave]

yes 😃

[umbral finch]

Hk

[ocean nacelle]

How dare you insult: terrifying beautiful powerful, gorgeous passionate overwhelming, diligent vigorous enchanting, sensual invincible mysterious and fearless Grey prince Zote?

[glass ridge]

I’m fighting this man with a non maxed nail and now he’s summoning more bombs than ever 😭

[glass ridge]

The whole dictionary

[ocean nacelle]

Those are actually all his adjectives

[umbral finch]

Drake laughing gif

[ocean nacelle]

Get maxed nail then, smh

[glass ridge]

I can’t find the last one 💀

I need one more stone

[ocean nacelle]

Which ones ya got?

[scenic frost]

Have you gotten the one from colo

[glass ridge]

Who’s colo?

[scenic frost]

Colosseum of Fools

[glass ridge]

Yep

[scenic frost]

We just say colo to shorten it

What about the one from grubfather

[glass ridge]

I have ancient basin, colo, grubs, dream merchant, and a few boss ones

[scenic frost]

You're probably missing the one at hallownest's crown then

[ocean nacelle]

Lessee, there's Colo, peaks, grubby, seer, basin and nosk

[glass ridge]

I got the mountaintop one

[scenic frost]

What about the nosk one

There's one close to nosk apparently

[ocean nacelle]

Probably missing basi- wait nvm

[glass ridge]

I have basin

[scenic frost]

He said he got basin

[ocean nacelle]

Sowwie

[glass ridge]

What’s nosk?

[lyric niche]

look in deepnest

[scenic frost]

Go to deepnest

[ocean nacelle]

Boss in deepnest

[lyric niche]

near the hotspring

[ocean nacelle]

And tram

[glass ridge]

Oh got him as well

The spider dude

I have no clue which one I’m missing

Wait how many grubs are there?

And you get the stone at 30 something right?

[lyric niche]

one of the ones you listed, you didnt get

[ocean nacelle]

Hmm, you said ya got Colo, basin, nosk, grub, seer and peaks

[scenic frost]

Are you sure you got the pale ore

[lyric niche]

yeah and those are all

[glass ridge]

Ah!

[ocean nacelle]

So grub grind time!

[scenic frost]

Grub search

[glass ridge]

I haven’t gotten the grub since I’ve only just got the halfway trophy

[ocean nacelle]

Ah, I forgot the trophy name

[glass ridge]

I got the grub map tho 💪

Time to go hunting

[ocean nacelle]

Shouldn't be too bad then

[scenic frost]

I was missing the pale ore in basin for a while lmao. I only found it because I was going for lifeblood core to get 112%

[glass ridge]

Yeah I just assumed I got it because it seemed so obvious but it’s the most recent one I’ve collected

[scenic frost]

Lol

[lyric niche]

eat them

[glass ridge]

One more and purenail

[scenic frost]

GRUBPIE

[glass ridge]

[scenic frost]

Still proud of myself for beating p4 and most of p5 with coiled nail

And eight masks

[ocean nacelle]

Damn

[scenic frost]

And 10 notches lmao

[glass ridge]

I gotta max my nail because MAN night grimm is beating the life out of me

Barely any openings

[scenic frost]

I got scammed into buying salubra's blessing because I thought it was 11th notch

[ocean nacelle]

Hey, free soul at benches, I'll take it

[glass ridge]

I still only have 7 masks because I couldn’t be bothered to find more. Now I suffer the consequences in dlc

[scenic frost]

I see you are dark souls enjoyer. How hard is dark souls compared to hollow knight? I'm looking to get into it.

[scenic frost]

But salubra's dumbass babbling everytime you benchg

[ocean nacelle]

Well, idk if ya done it or not, but have you heard of "delicate flower"?

[ocean nacelle]

I don't mind

[scenic frost]

I don't either I just meme on salubra

[ocean nacelle]

[remote blade]

Shaw

[glass ridge]

Oh man where to begin. Dark souls 1 is the most hollow knight dark souls. 3 is more linear and of course elden ring is the big open one. They’re great games Ive played all of them. Same as hollow knight it takes a while to get used to because you’re weak and unfamiliar but once it clicks it clicks

[glass ridge]

Hmmm is that like a mask tracker?

[scenic frost]

I love how you completely ignore dark souls 2. Even more reason to not get it

[ocean nacelle]

You haven't experienced pain then

[scenic frost]

Delicate flower quest isn't even that bad

It's pretty easy if you just know where you're going

[ocean nacelle]

To me, no, to others yes

[scenic frost]

Just plan a route and DON'T use grimmchild

[glass ridge]

I’ve actually had 5ng+ on ds2 but I understand it’s not for everyone. Drags on and is unfair but still introduces unique stuff we never see again

[ocean nacelle]

But what if I do wanna use grimmchild?

[glass ridge]

What’s the flower quest. Rn I just freed a woman and she’s talking to zota

[ocean nacelle]

Go to bottom right of resting grounds

[scenic frost]

Person in resting grounds asks you to deliver flower to place in queen's gardens

[glass ridge]

What do they look like?

[scenic frost]

Gives mask shard for completion

[glass ridge]

Might trigger my memory

[ocean nacelle]

Uhhhh

Gray

[ocean nacelle]

Yeah that

[scenic frost]

This stick person looking ass character

[glass ridge]

No I haven’t met them I’ll take a look

[ocean nacelle]

Gl

[glass ridge]

But I just need to take a flower it can’t be that bad

[ocean nacelle]

When goin' to meet her, don't use any benches, trust me

[scenic frost]

You have to descending dark down a secret entrance to get to her

[ocean nacelle]

[scenic frost]

Fyi: The flower breaks if you take any damage or use a stag

[ocean nacelle]

Yep

[scenic frost]

And if it breaks you have to go back to her and get another one

[ocean nacelle]

Uhuh

[glass ridge]

AH so it’s a no hit run across the map

[ocean nacelle]

Yep

[glass ridge]

Great big fun

[ocean nacelle]

Pretty much

So don't use any benches, since that respawns enemies

Most, respawn

[glass ridge]

I mean clearing out everything and then going down might work right

[scenic frost]

There's a pretty simple path through crossroads, fungal, and then queen's gardens

[ocean nacelle]

Enemies like aspids and other small enemies respawn regardless

There's a safe route and a fast route

Pick your poison

[glass ridge]

Yeah it just depends on which path you take im guessing

[ocean nacelle]

That'll work, just like I said, don't use any benches

[glass ridge]

I would like to see a challenge run where you have the flower the whole game

Deliver it after the final boss

Hitless and no tp

[scenic frost]

I have two friends that are huge dark souls nerds and I'm wanting to get into it but I'm just waiting for it to go on sale. I don't wanna pay 40 dollars for ds1

[ocean nacelle]

[scenic frost]

Doesn't seem too hard imo iirc ngl tbh

[ocean nacelle]

I wouldn't do that shit

[glass ridge]

I’ve played all of them over and over but if it really gets you going on the first game there’s no going back you’re obligated to keep replaying them

I bought a ps3 just to play the original demons souls when I could have bought the remake on ps5

[plucky eagle]

so hitless no stags and no dgate?

[scenic frost]

Oh trust me I know I've had to deal with dark souls discussion for months

[glass ridge]

I slowly mutate all my friends in to fromsoft fans and in the course of 3 months all of them have played all of it

[plucky eagle]

what % would you be going to?

or what ending

[scenic frost]

Tfw just bench at location, travel over to grey mourner, get flower, leave game, join back and be at bench, finish quest ez

[scenic frost]

p5 ngl

[glass ridge]

It’s an interesting idea obviously make it a speedrun as well

[ashen wadi]

that doesn't work

[scenic frost]

Wdym

[plucky eagle]

it hardsaves you when you pick up flower at grey mourner

[scenic frost]

Oh damn that only works when you get flower at traitor's child

I thought it worked all the time rip

[plucky eagle]

yep

[scenic frost]

Tfw just use debug mod to skip all enemies

[plucky eagle]

so true

i wouldn’t be able to do it with just flower all game (switch) but you just don’t get hit
simple as that

aw that means no shade skips

[ocean nacelle]

Glass soul would like to know your location

[scenic frost]

Gold soul moment ngl

[ocean nacelle]

"Gold soul"?

[plucky eagle]

how does glass soul work lol?

[scenic frost]

I made it the fuck up

https://tenor.com/view/senator-armstrong-armstrong-metal-gear-rising-mgr-speech-bubble-gif-25397532

[ocean nacelle]

Steel soul but if you get hit you die

[plucky eagle]

oh
how fun

[ocean nacelle]

Hence, "glass"

[ashen wadi]

bold of you to assume the point is to be fun

[plucky eagle]

but it would be

[scenic frost]

Imma ask yall about this again cause we have a new lot of people but what if there was a 10x charms mod

All charm stats, good or bad, are multiplied by 10

[plucky eagle]

notches should be multiplied by 10 too

[ocean nacelle]

Dayum

[scenic frost]

Melody would be actually good

[ocean nacelle]

Practically invulnerable

[scenic frost]

No, fully invulnerable

100% chance to dodge damage

[plucky eagle]

kingsoul basically means inf soul
kingsoul + twister would mean inf spells basically

kingsoul twister shamans

[scenic frost]

But why would you do that when you have soul catcher and it can just give you full soul on one hit

[plucky eagle]

but
it would be cool if you just did no nail

[ocean nacelle]

Eater would be busted

[scenic frost]

Eater is overkill

Catcher would fill up fill soul anyway

[ocean nacelle]

But all that soul

[scenic frost]

Shaman stone would be a screen wipe attack

[ocean nacelle]

Bigger size and insane damage?

With qslash too?

Mop with that long range

[scenic frost]

To compensate all bosses have 10x health btw

[ocean nacelle]

Nkg with 10× health, dear god

[scenic frost]

Yeah but you have 10x damage

And screen wipe shade soul

And 100% chance to dodge damage

[lyric niche]

i dont think you would do 10x damage

[ocean nacelle]

[scenic frost]

Proof?

[ocean nacelle]

Basically invulnerable

[scenic frost]

Also joni's would be actually good

[ocean nacelle]

But this is a mod

Eh, fair. Don't know much about mods

[scenic frost]

I should learn how to mod hollow knight just to make this a reality

[ocean nacelle]

You should

Or send it to modders of hk

[scenic frost]

-1x would be cool too. Every charm stat reversed

Joni's would STILL suck

[ocean nacelle]

Kingsoul takes away soul

Even worse

Strength takes away power

[scenic frost]

But, new speedrun challenges

Fallen fury would be good

[ocean nacelle]

Hmmmm

[scenic frost]

Honestly for this one the numbers themselves wouldn't be changed just the core function of the charm

Like fury would still buff damage but it would only do it when you're not 1 health

[plucky eagle]

only works when at full health

[ocean nacelle]

Elegy works at 1 health

[feral elk]

Guys pill bugs can breathe underwater, quirell is fine and just swimming

[scenic frost]

Nah, only works at not 1 health

[ocean nacelle]

Cope, what I believe in everyday

[scenic frost]

Denial

[feral elk]

It's not denial!

[plucky eagle]

elegy works when at anything but full health

[scenic frost]

True

Glowing womb gives soul but spawns aggressive enemies

[ocean nacelle]

Grimmchild attacks you

[scenic frost]

If you reeeealllly twisted it melody would be good. It could make you dodge 90% of the time but you have a 10% chance to get hit

[scenic frost]

Same with weavers

[ocean nacelle]

Damn

[scenic frost]

If anything baldurs are pillbugd

[ocean nacelle]

Hiveblood?

[lyric niche]

There is a 99.9% chance that Quirrel dies at Blue Lake. The 0.1% chance is a boss fight with Quirrel right outside Salubra's hut.

[plucky eagle]

hiveblood heals you really fast

[scenic frost]

https://tenor.com/view/spongebob-squarepants-lollipop-happy-gif-7518151

[feral elk]

No.

[plucky eagle]

or takes away health but reallly slowly

[lyric niche]

jonis makes hiveblood damage you faster

[ocean nacelle]

I refuse to believe quirrel dies

[feral elk]

Hes alive guys

[scenic frost]

Prove it

[plucky eagle]

true

[scenic frost]

Does anyone actually use greed btw

[feral elk]

Hes a pillbug
Pill bugs don't drown.

[scenic frost]

Since when was he a pill bug

[feral elk]

He just is okay

[scenic frost]

Prove it

[ocean nacelle]

Cool mod

[plucky eagle]

i used it for money grinding for unbreakable strength because i used to not wanna do colos

[lyric niche]

maybe i would not feel bad for quirrel if he doesnt sit around for 2 attacks while im dodging uumuu

[scenic frost]

QUIRREL BOAT

[plucky eagle]

casual players probably use greed tbh

[scenic frost]

If I learn how to make hollow knight mods like I said I should then I should make the lich quirrel boss fight real

[feral elk]

He just is!

[ocean nacelle]

I mean, he's like the one bug that doesn't try to kill you and genuinely enjoys your company

[lyric niche]

blueberry quirrel

[scenic frost]

Even better we should contract a modder to make it

[plucky eagle]

true
make sure salubra shows up

[scenic frost]

Salubra could be like cloth in traitor lord boss ngl

[lyric niche]

ok but maybe he should stop ruining my speedruns and attack uumuu at the worst possible times

[ocean nacelle]

Contact or Contract? Because having them sign a contract would work better

[plucky eagle]

and that la gets destroyed like 3 times

[scenic frost]

No I mean pay them to make it

[feral elk]

Just make a mod where quirrel helps in every boss fight and never dies

[plucky eagle]

quirrel should die after every boss fight

[scenic frost]

We held a yasp session where quirrel became the blueberry lich god and rose out of blue lake with his arsenal of food themed attacks

[lyric niche]

quirrel hit himself with his own attack

[scenic frost]

And salubra had to put him down with the great-lollipop-sword

[lyric niche]

skill issue imo iirc

[scenic frost]

Whenever we talk about our dumbass antics chat unceremoniously dies

[feral elk]

Pill bugs can't drown guys hes fine( I am in denial

[ocean nacelle]

Or copium

[scenic frost]

He's not a pillbug

He's a lich

[feral elk]

Then what is he

[plucky eagle]

sadly it’s true

[scenic frost]

What bug is tiso

[lyric niche]

dead bug

[scenic frost]

What bug is the knight

[feral elk]

Ant

[lyric niche]

wtf are you talking about

[scenic frost]

What bug is mononon

What bug is lurien

[lyric niche]

how does tiso remotely resemble an ant

[feral elk]

Jellifisj

[lyric niche]

watcher bug

[scenic frost]

My favorite bug, jellifisj

[plucky eagle]

imagine monomon wasn’t always like weird bug thing

[scenic frost]

A watcher rat, if I may?

[storm wraith]

monomon is a bug (not an intended feature)

[lyric niche]

monomon is dead

[scenic frost]

[storm wraith]

no that's quirrel

[lyric niche]

both

[scenic frost]

Quirrel's only character trait is that he's dead

[storm wraith]

true bestie

fuck marmu

[feral elk]

Yeah theres only meant to be 2 dreamers

[scenic frost]

Really makes you wonder why hollow knight is populated by bugs when there's no real cherry-made bug relation

[plucky eagle]

did you know that herrah is actually is royal waterways 🤯
she’s located in the dung den !!

[scenic frost]

They could've at least made the designs resemble real life bugs

[storm wraith]

TRUE

You Actually need to get an ability known as the "Soap Cloak" and the charm "Sharp Soap" to deal damage to a boss known as the "Dung Defender", wich also has a 0.575% chance to replace Traitor Lord and the shade gate at queens gardens, replacing the shade gate with the stink gate.

[scenic frost]

Still grinds my gears that the stag isn't a stag beetle

[lyric niche]

Did you know that herrah is actually in waterways? She is found in the subarea known as "Dung Den"
Herrah actually has a 2% chance to show up as a boss in p5 alongside hornet. When this happens, there is another 5% chance that midwife appears to fight as well.

[scenic frost]

Need I present to you the several bugs that aren't based on their supposed bug counterparts

[plucky eagle]

absolutely crazy !!
i never knew before today 🤯

[scenic frost]

The stag

Proof enough ngl

His ass is NOT a stag beetle

[lyric niche]

yeah the stag doesnt look like one

thats what holeio is saying

[scenic frost]

ym

[lyric niche]

ym?

ym

[storm wraith]

dung defender is based on a real life bug, i think it's the same one that heracross was based on

[feral elk]

quirrel is alive because fuck you I say so

[lyric niche]

i think the weavers might be based on spiders

[scenic frost]

They should've based an enemy off of assassin bugs. They're so cool why didn't team cherry add them.

[storm wraith]

i kill quirrel in any% speedruns

[scenic frost]

Which one

[ashen wadi]

Sharpe

[plucky eagle]

spirit in spirits glade iirc

[scenic frost]

Enemy, they should've based an enemy off of assassin bugs

Why save all the actual bug designs for spirits glade

[storm wraith]

me when the hollow is knight

[plucky eagle]

did the last one send ??
anyway stag vs stag beetle

[scenic frost]

Me when the knight is hollow!!!

[scenic frost]

His ass is NOT a stag beetle!!!

They made his ass look more like a rhino beetle

[plucky eagle]

true !

[plucky eagle]

last stag vs rhino beetle

[scenic frost]

That's fhe closest comparison I could make

[plucky eagle]

they look pretty close tbh

stag vs stag beetle

[distant crest]

hi

[dry helm]

I will curse someone random in this server with a single sound, but who will be the question

Maybe tomorrow you will be chosen, Anika

[royal karma]

Elder Hu is a banger with shade cloak though

[delicate badge]

you are now a chosen one

[royal karma]

Feels like a rhythm game

In general, shade cloak is just the best ability in the game

And by extension, sharp shadow is the best charm

Very based

[lime briar]

I dont hate him because he's hard i hate him because he can choose to spam the fullscreen pancake where you can't hit him and it wastes your time lmao.

[royal karma]

Oh that is true

That's like if NKG just spammed his ground thorns ten times in a row

Kinda seems like an oversight honestly

Yeah, cus no other boss has that issue

Of just spamming an invulnerable over and over and over

He does occasionally

Maybe if you don't refight him over and over in Godhome like some of us did

To beat em on radiant

[brave blaze]

It's just pancake guy how are you getting to him
Also if you're grinding godhome you should have max stats and be better than you were when you fought him

[delicate badge]

dashdyl long time no see :D

[brave blaze]

Oh hi gwnj

How you been

[delicate badge]

well wbu

[brave blaze]

Pretty good

[delicate badge]

:)

[mystic tulip]

hollow knigjt when the

solid knight

[brave blaze]

So true

[royal karma]

True

But doing Pantheon 3 AB is probably why I fought him the most

I didn't die to him, died to Collector mostly

[brave blaze]

Collector is just a shitty boss

[royal karma]

Real son of a bitch with All Bindings

[royal karma]

Nah he's pretty fun

[mystic tulip]

[royal karma]

I can't imagine doing him in P5 with AB, holy shit

[signal blaze]

person who’s done ab that doesn’t hate collector woah

[storm wraith]

true

[royal karma]

Actually I never did P3 AB

OOH HAHA HEE HEE HAHA

[brave blaze]

What his attacks are just jump around and jump into the ceiling to spawn enemies

[signal blaze]

he’s fun when you don’t 1 shot everything

[brave blaze]

Bosses that spawn enemies are just so uninteresting in general

[royal karma]

P5 AB

[royal karma]

I hate Lost Kin but he's definitely not uninteresting to fight

[brave blaze]

Lost kin isn't only spawning balloons though

Like it has actual attacks

[signal blaze]

it gets better

[royal karma]

I mean neither is Collector

Most of the times I died in P3 AB, it was from his jumping

[brave blaze]

Hopping around and swiping air so interesting

[royal karma]

True

[royal karma]

I hope not

[brave blaze]

And in other games too
If there's a break from the boss to spawn like
Minibosses or something in a final boss it's fine but bosses that are defined by spawning enemies suck

[halcyon shoal]

Hello hollow chat

[exotic wraith]

hi

[halcyon shoal]

[heady roost]

Bone jaw

Bonjour

[heady roost]

hrya

[past juniper]

I’m good

And you?

[long pumice]

P5AB means Pantheon 5 with All Bindings if that's what you were asking

[eternal jungle]

no it means you are a pure vessel, nail 5 with any boss%

[sterile plover]

Charm: Dashmaster

Bears the likeness of an eccentric bug known only as 'The Dashmaster'.

The bearer will be able to dash more often as well as dash downwards. Perfect for those who want to move around as quickly as possible.

[heady dew]

@molten harbor it’s so obviously sans

[fringe rover]

I just assumed dashmaster was a bluebottle

[heady dew]

Lmao

[heady dew]

No it’s sans

how hard would spell-less be ?

[proven thorn]

not that hard

only problem would be the greenpath baldur

and it has been done'

[mild oracle]

Dumb theory

[proven thorn]

ok

[mild oracle]

Ness doesn't even have a brother

[plucky eagle]

ye
bosses would be a little harder without vs as well
but it’d be able to get dash and stuff so still probably wouldn’t be that bad

[proven thorn]

I basically did the game spellless first time I played

[plucky eagle]

i use spells so much lol

[proven thorn]

same

[plucky eagle]

came back to this and you could also just do itemless blue lake shade skip lol

[proven thorn]

get lantern and go to resting grounds smh

just farm 1800 geo

[plucky eagle]

itemless blue lake shade skip is more fun
can you even get there without dash ?

[proven thorn]

dunno lol

[plucky eagle]

idk either lol

[undone chasm]

Ye

You can beat the game without getting dash

[plucky eagle]

ye ik that i was just unsure if you could get there without dash

probably can just do fireball skips like with cdash room

[proven thorn]

spellless
fireball skip

[plucky eagle]

yknow

i forgot i was saying spell-less

but like there’s enemies too you could use those

[proven thorn]

spell less and item less run when

[plucky eagle]

true
5% run when?

[proven thorn]

now

dreamnail less

[plucky eagle]

oh yea

6% run when then

[dry smelt]

I finally have all charms I hate divine so much

[plucky eagle]

did you have to pay to get a charm back for salubra or smth lol

[proven thorn]

selubrass blessing is the worst item ever '

[plucky eagle]

so true

[proven thorn]

times it's useful: never
times it's annoying as fuck: any time you sit at a bench

[half wren]

Goof

I'm restarting hk, should I leave or kill Nailsmith?

[heady dew]

[half wren]

Good. I will

Let them be gay

I left Zote, I never do that

GPZ in P3 changes a MF

[acoustic sierra]

True!

[half wren]

I never beat P3 on my main save

And I deleted the save I did P3 on for godseeker

Should I go for P5?

[proven thorn]

do P5

it's very fun

you won't lose your sanity

[half wren]

If I can beat P4's 1st half then the rest of it plus the Peak of Game Design

[proven thorn]

whar

[half wren]

I gotta do P4 first

I was trying to make a joke about PV being my favorite boss

[heady dew]

I like nkg

[half wren]

I like him thematically

Gameplay wise, I hate it

He feels bs and difficult for difficulty sake

[heady dew]

he’s not difficult for difficulty sake

[half wren]

Try doing nkg on a switch

[heady dew]

Ah
I see why you’d think that now

but he is super optional
He’s not even required to complete the questline

[lyric niche]

It's fair difficulty tho

[half wren]

I did him for bragging rights tbh

Btw

I have a bullshitty tendency where my hands tense whenever I'm playing Hollow Knight, no other time, and I get cramps from it

Yaaaaay

[young summit]

[half wren]

NOOOO

[burnt heath]

YOOOO

[long pumice]

Just did P5 with the shell binding and I can confirm that you won't lose your sanity! Look at me I'm completely sane, I still drink my 8 glasses of battery acid daily!

[half wren]

Real

[proven thorn]

yummy

[scenic frost]

It's not bs tho

[half wren]

[scenic frost]

So the boss isn't bullshit, you're just bullshit

Stag????

[chrome rose]

yes

what is your biggest run ender in hollow knight everyone?

ill answer for me: royal god damn waterways

[ashen wadi]

sanctum probably

though I only failed one steel soul run so... that's not sayin much

[heady dew]

in steel soul?

Watcher knights or crystal cycle

[ashen wadi]

that's kind of the only sense in which a run ends so I assume

[scenic frost]

Fireball skip

[chrome rose]

dang

[plucky eagle]

shrumal ogres but i’ve only done one legitimate steel soul run and i’ve gotten better since then lol

[long oak]

in his second phase his projectiles appears from thin air at me and i can do nothing about it

its unreal

[scenic frost]

Get faster

[late light]

just spawns in my face without any warning or animation

[long oak]

there is an animation, pay close attention

[late light]

WTF

i just saw it in a vid

mine is difference

[long oak]

You're gonna have to focus on dodging and doing damage, but if you wanna be safe chip in a few hits then focus on dodging

[late light]

is it the lag reduction mods

[long oak]

in the base game first fight you're in the room below

The fight is the same no matter what unless it's modded

The projectiles spawn mid air but he stays still.

[lyric niche]

I think they mean that the animation doesn't show up for them

[long oak]

hm

Well if that's the issue then you're gonna have to just wait till they spawn

like I said chip some damage in and focus dodging

[late light]

yes

[ocean nacelle]

Maybe a glitch with a mod they have on?

[long oak]

or the save is busted

mine was, nail smith was out on the edge but in the forge lol

[ocean nacelle]

Whar? Wdym the forge?

He was on the edge of his house?

[long oak]

The house IS his forge

lol, And he was at the edge after you fully upgrade but I could still go inside and find him

[ocean nacelle]

Hmmm

Interesting

[long oak]

weird ik, I also got both achievements

Got them mad stacks

[grand oyster]

[acoustic sierra]

Tukk pretty sure

[stuck sonnet]

[brisk schooner]

i need urgent help

i am planning to buy the game

but i see they are selling dlc of soundtracks

[nimble hamlet]

and?

[brisk schooner]

what does this mean,,,

[ashen wadi]

You don’t have to buy the soundtrack

[brisk schooner]

will the songs in the dlc not be in the game

[ashen wadi]

They are

[nimble hamlet]

basically a dono to the devs

[acoustic sierra]

There will be no sound yeah

[nimble hamlet]

the soundtrack is ingame anyways

[ashen wadi]

And on Spotify

[brisk schooner]

so no need to buy the dlc ...right?

[ashen wadi]

Right

[acoustic sierra]

You gotta buy it so there will be music

[ashen wadi]

There’s no paid game content other than the game itself

[scenic frost]

Don't buy the soundtrack

[acoustic sierra]

Buy the soundtrack

[ashen wadi]

Don’t try to confuse people when they’re asking for clarification

[acoustic sierra]

https://tenor.com/view/get-out-of-my-way-scarm-shove-begone-shoo-gif-14797169

[scenic frost]

AHHHHH smetty noooooo

[ashen wadi]

It’s not helpful or funny, it’s just being obstructive

[brisk schooner]

so the song hornet will be in the game even if i dont buy the dlc

[ashen wadi]

Yes

[brisk schooner]

ok thank you

but whya re they selling it ..

[ashen wadi]

Buying that just lets you download audio files separately, it doesn’t affect the game

[brisk schooner]

oooooo

[ashen wadi]

It’s a way for people to support them and there’s not much reason not to

If some people want to pay, great, but it’s not essential to the experience

[brisk schooner]

and one more question.....which one should i try first hades or hollow knight

[undone chasm]

The songs are on spotify and youtube as well etc so yeah its just to support the devs

[undone chasm]

Well, you are asking this in the hk server, what response are you expecting

[ashen wadi]

They’re both worth playing imo, whichever seems more interesting to you

[brisk schooner]

i am tellin gyou to compare

i know that both are gr8 games

i am jsut asking for whioch to try first

[ashen wadi]

I will say that hades doesn’t exactly have a clean ending, it keeps going as long as you want to keep playing, so maybe it would make more sense to do HK first since that has a definite ending point

[undone chasm]

Well I personally find hk more interesting because I'm not too big of a fan of rogue lites

But like tammo said, it's all up to you what you like more

[brisk schooner]

bought holow knight

ty guys for help

[bleak osprey]

the endless debate. Both are so insanely good, that its a disservice to indie games and to gaming in general imo to not try them both. They are just too good. Can never pick one over the other personally.

[bleak osprey]

there are two endings to get in hades, the 2nd is definitely more definite for a final one and it hits all the right notes in both narrative and reward/satisfaction, plus the side quests all have very good endings too. After that you can keep playing if you do love the game increasing the difficulty indeed, but that's pretty much the same with hollow knight if you take into account all those mods that exist and personal challenges each player finds/does way after they are done with the story. In short both games can keep you company for hundreds of hours if you love them enough.

[ashen wadi]

The way heat works means the gameplay loop is inherently interminate

In HK that’s not the case

Mods and arbitrary challenge runs aren’t really comparable

[proud violet]

Oh

[delicate sigil]

REMEMBER-

People singing happy birthday to you feels like an unskippable ad in real life.

UNTIL WE MEET AGAIN!

[brave blaze]

I like people singing happy birthday to me what?

What would it even be advertising ?

You my good sir have [no clue] how to be a [SALESMAN!]

[burnt heath]

@polar tiger HAPPY BIRTHDAYYYY

[bleak gazelle]

Hollow knight hades good too though

[bleak gazelle]

Hollow knight also keeps going if you want to keep playing smh

Happy birthday @polar tiger

[polar tiger]

https://tenor.com/view/spongebob-birthday-squidward-meme-gif-7116719811574540022

[burnt heath]

LIAR

[polar tiger]

Also isn't HK offtopic just offtopic

[ocean nacelle]

Could be

[royal karma]

Hollow Knight

Hades is kind of a button masher

[bleak gazelle]

I see someone say happy birthday I say happy birthday

[ashen wadi]

Not in a way that’s at all comparable

“You can play it again” and “the gameplay loop never ends” aren’t the same

[covert tusk]

Does anyone know when will silk song come out

[ashen wadi]

No date is announced

[covert tusk]

Yeah

But it should come out

[burnt heath]

Guys lets sspsa this guy to death

[limber lion]

the truth is that it will never come out

[covert tusk]

Either way well outside the scope of my point

[burnt heath]

[limber lion]

[burnt heath]

[covert tusk]

I started 2 days ago and I am 2 hours reached the 4th boss

Good for you 👍

[long pumice]

[scenic frost]

https://tenor.com/view/pon-gif-15097379091171620462

[scenic frost]

Good job. Still working on that part lol

[scenic frost]

Why don't you go touch grass arround 40 times instead

[long pumice]

Literally.

[long pumice]

You'll get it eventually, keep up the good work

[neat quiver]

There's a lot of grass in P5

[long pumice]

clearly not enough

[barren sable]

I used basically unbreakable strengh, shaman stone, nailmaster glory, grubgsong, nohing exceptional

there is also the dreamnail charm

[scenic frost]

And out of all of it he chose not to engage with any of it

[long pumice]

no quickslash?

[scenic frost]

No soul twister?

[barren sable]

in the last battle I changed it

[barren sable]

I forgorI am shaking now

[scenic frost]

Wait nvm spell twister

[limber lion]

do you want a clip of me touching grass

[scenic frost]

Soul twisters are the enemies

[barren sable]

in the final two bosses I used the first two, but I added quickslash and longnail

[scenic frost]

Nothing you send can convince me

[barren sable]

quick slash is op af

[long pumice]

Probably edited

[scenic frost]

[barren sable]

for radiance especially, fi you get good rng and she spawns right below your range you can skip a phase basically

[limber lion]

i have a life

[scenic frost]

Prove it

[barren sable]

bro's better than 99 % of us

[scenic frost]

Prove it by giving me your full address and social security number

[limber lion]

[scenic frost]

[limber lion]

[lyric niche]

Didn't you say you had 2000 hours in hk

[barren sable]

give me a kiss

[scenic frost]

💀💀💀💀💀

[limber lion]

tf

[long pumice]

why would you want a kiss from this dude bro probably hasn't showered since the game came out

[scenic frost]

Friendship ended with showers, now hollow knight is my best friend

[brave blaze]

Considering you had nothing better to do then belittle and flex on people with a challenge in a video game I doubt its a very exciting one

[limber lion]

you want a clip of me showering too

[long pumice]

2K hours it's just straight up depressing bro's job and routine is to beat P5 or something

Tbf having a lot of hours isnt that crazy, most people here are teenagers/kids anyway not that hard to grind games if you don't have a job lol

[barren sable]

bro team cherry made an ad

from the official channel

[lyric niche]

Free silksong

[scenic frost]

Free silksong all you have to do is send your credit card info and you can have free silksong

[barren sable]

only the dlc, "zote's 1000 princes journey" is paid, which include a single bossfight whee you fight 1000 gpz, truly worth the money tho

[scenic frost]

Eternal Ordeal 2

[long pumice]

Yeah, I can understand that, meant it more in a satire manner. But yeah no idea how much is there in hk to have "2k" if they were even serious ofc.

also 2000h and only beaten p5 like 40 times?
that's slow

[grim prairie]

💀

what a build

[barren sable]

basically that till I got to pure vessel

[limber lion]

i do other speedruns like 112 to

[barren sable]

when i got to pure vessel I went full on unoriginal

[scenic frost]

I mean I have 1,400 hours in tf2 but that's just because most of that time was spent while I was younger with barely anything outside of school to worry about.

[barren sable]

quickslash, unbreakable stenght, sham- YOU GE IT!!!

[barren sable]

I have 2000 hours of whom i firmly believe at least 500 are afk

[scenic frost]

I bet most of my time in tf2 is actually afk

[grim prairie]

give me tips bro I need the speedrun achievements please!

[long pumice]

I gave you the benefit of the doubt when you dropped the sleeping statement
i can see it's edited

[grim prairie]

ignore the haters

[barren sable]

funny how I have got embrace the void but I miss like 11 achievements

[brave blaze]

The hatchlings hit the second pale beacon!

[grim prairie]

They jealous that you are a God at the game

[barren sable]

all the speedrun steel soul(currentely doing) an some minor ones

[long oak]

....ok? let the man or woman or THING enjoy the achievement not many people have, it's a feat they overcame

[long pumice]

don't worry, it's alright to focus on your first playthrough/save first

[grim prairie]

😴 hateas

[long oak]

I'd suggest getting all the achievements in your main save (or the ones you can) Then starting a NEW save and getting the ones you couldn't get

[barren sable]

Done

I need to banish grimm

[half wren]

Hemlo chat

[barren sable]

My steel soul playthrought is like at the point of killing thk, but i need 100%

In other news Zote bullied me into making a new main save

[half wren]

[long pumice]

Damn, what happened there

[half wren]

GPZ

I beat P3 without him on a second save

I left that bastard to die. Twas a canon event

[grim prairie]

[long pumice]

Ah yeah he's bad lmao, fair if you skip him, he can be quite a mild inconvenience for godhome

[half wren]

Yea

I'm thinking of finally getting nkg outside godhome this run

[long pumice]

Go for it, he's fun

[half wren]

Meh, not in my experiences

I see he's constant and reliable tho

[long pumice]

Yeah

[half wren]

I love PV tho

I love parrying the first of pv's triple slash after jump and dashing through him. Satisfying to do

[lyric niche]

[half wren]

I pogo the flurry

And the lunge

[barren sable]

You enter the pantheon, and since no bosses, you get in the room with her and next room you win

Truly gamer

[half wren]

S T R A T S

[barren sable]

I pogo most of the flurries

[half wren]

I wanna do P5 just to watch Tiso die

[barren sable]

But the lunge is shit

[half wren]

Just pogo then maybe land a few hits

MoP and Longnail goes crazy in PV

[barren sable]

I ain't doing a pantheon anytime soon

[half wren]

P2 is the easiest

[barren sable]

I just completed p5

[half wren]

[barren sable]

I have ptsd from rng markoth abd abrad

[half wren]

I hate radiance

Just the base one

I would always get 5 sword wall (felt like it at least)

Now I get to do it again

Eventually

[barren sable]

Sword wall horizontal is scummy

[half wren]

Sometimes the balls line up so I can't just ground them
