@swift vault Alright, I have downloaded Any Radiance, but I don't know how to connect it to Hollow Knight or something like that. So I probably need a bit of help.

[heavy hemlock]

<@&283547423706447872> Is it forbidden to send server invitations from DM?

or reason for ban

[jovial linden]

depends if it has consent or not

also depends if the server is a scam server

context matters and stuff

[heavy hemlock]

can you look at your dm

[stark dirge]

?

yeah what val said

[trim blaze]

damn

Nosk managed to kill a devout?

wow, for such a pushover it actually managed that

[rugged kindle]

oh hey rq just wanna say, i was tryin to turn the guy down and pressed a few wrong buttons rlly quickly

[versed cave]

who is spamming

[swift vault]

i have already said you had to create a folder on Mods Folder to put the files ya installed but that little guide from dyno is Pog 😆

[opal jewel]

[lusty lava]

i beat the entirety of hog on ascended in preparation for p5 and guess what?
i died to fucking pv whom i spent 2 hours practicing on ascended

AND GUESS WHAT? I DIED TO HIM AGAIN RIGHT AFTER
dude i swear I'm the worst hk player

[dull oracle]

Skull issue ngl

[brave blaze]

Oof, nerves suck

[lusty lava]

i beat him twice in a row in hog I'm actually gonna cry

[dull oracle]

Do radient

Thats what I did

[lusty lava]

doable man i have strats for everything, i just get so nervous especially in the sword pillar thing

[cerulean wind]

Saygex

[lusty lava]

but yo good news
markoth is free lmao

[dull oracle]

He jumps on you so just walking a bit to the side you will dodge it

[lusty lava]

you will now engage in homosexual activities with me

[dull oracle]

[lusty lava]

walk? isn't that too slow?

you said gex
aka gay sex

gaysex

[dull oracle]

Nope, I would show you but for some reason you cant screen record on switch

[lusty lava]

I'll try it tomorrow, I'm done with p5 for today

5 attempts in total
first dying to sisters, then sly, then uumuu, then pv, then pv again, then lost kin cuz i gave up

[lusty lava]

internet too slow to load it tbh

i played nkg and markoth so much they're kind of a break

[dull oracle]

I die too abs rad

[lusty lava]

if i can fucking unlock absrad

[brave blaze]

The advanced strat is standing in the same free space right next to him and hitting him, but that ones harder

[lusty lava]

on the second time i swear pv was one shot, he started doing tendrils ages ago

lag moment

[dull oracle]

Dude thats skin

[brave blaze]

The easiest strat is just ddark spamming through it lol

[lusty lava]

hell nah i ain't got balls for that i need to be safe

[lusty lava]

you can't ddark fast enough right?

wait wait omg

[brave blaze]

Nah you can easily

[lusty lava]

when he wants to dive on me, can i dash away and ddark? will that be enough iframes for the swords to go away?

[lusty lava]

stealing this, tyvm

[dull oracle]

You have a few i frames after ddark

[brave blaze]

I dont have a ddark clip, but yes

[lusty lava]

same, but i learned that that gave me more nerves so i tried walking

[lusty lava]

I'll try that too, then I'd have literally no attack that can normally get me

[brave blaze]

Graig knight ftw

[lusty lava]

TIL if you're in midair for too long pv will just jump at you without attacking

like broken vessel jumps but he actually targets you

he's goofy lookin

[lusty lava]

especially when he staggers midair

[brave blaze]

Yeah he empty hops if youre in the air too long, its not even am intended mechanic he just somehow cancels a sword pillars iirc

[lusty lava]

bro's sentient

speaking of sentience i swear to god he parries me and triple slash knowing damn well i cannot dodge that

me half an hour ago

bro was one shot 😭😭😭

I'm gonna cry I'm so sad

but hey tbh p5 is not that hard, getting to pv and skill issuing twice in a row is some consistency i can't lie

[brave blaze]

He overall doesnt like you being in the air too long, if you go without touching the ground long enough/start clinging to walls he'll start chaining dagger throws for some reason, as in like, 4-5 in a row lmao. Very weird ai sometimes

[lusty lava]

probably because it's his default ranged attack

i like pv

[brave blaze]

Ig that makes sense yeah, i never looked at his AI in detail

[pure dome]

Peevee

[lusty lava]

how many times have you tried p5 in total

on a scale of nkg attuned to pv ascended how hard is absrad

guess I won't be doing p5 huh

i don't wanna do anyone on radiant it'll make my hog list look bad

everyone would be ascended except a few, and I'm not gonna do radhog

[pastel oracle]

now hold on there what absrad are we talking about here

[lusty lava]

the only absrad

[pastel oracle]

just normal? with charms and spells? full nail upgrade and health? i’d say it’s pv ascended, radiant pv seems a bit much just for a normal absrad

[pastel oracle]

yes but with bindings and stuff I’m asking

[lusty lava]

doable
with some luck and unskill issue

[pastel oracle]

i believe in you

[lusty lava]

thank you
because I don't 😔

[proven thorn]

woah

my favorite

[lusty lava]

dying to pv twice in a row means i have zero nerve control which is quite literally the worst thing for absrad

[pastel oracle]

oh yeah don’t worry you’ll find your ways of controlling that

for me i had to have nobody on call w me, having people watch me play subconsciously stressed me out a little bit more and it was just enough to mess me up always at like pv or absrad

i also couldn’t do controller lmao that’s why i moved to pc and then felt like i could do godhome properly

[versed cave]

hi i have question

[elder compass]

Depends on the question

[versed cave]

can i ask?

[elder compass]

go ahead, freind- always happy to help.

[versed cave]

ok thank you

that was my question

[elder compass]

I am now substantially confused.

[versed cave]

😄

[old timber]

i fucking bawled when i defeated marmu

she was pretty easy tho

[elder compass]

Wait why?!?!

I don't remember anything that sad about the marmu fight

[granite crane]

Me forgot.

[versed cave]

sometimes he goes hard and combos you to death

[bold yew]

4lamp zote is hard

i need that last mask

first 3 done in half an hour

[woeful frost]

You can check the official wiky, it’s well made and really easy to use. Also the mask shard are pretty difficult to get (especially in deep nest)

[signal harbor]

This santa hat hornet i saw at a con

[granite crane]

You thought I wouldn't notice those reactions, Mango?

[swift vault]

well not only one but the other ones as well

[granite crane]

[swift vault]

and one more coming

[granite crane]

Holyshaw!

[swift vault]

so true

am trying that Solaris for a little while but i closed the game for a bit

[tidal sandal]

pop is a requirment for one achievement

[swift vault]

no

[tidal sandal]

true hunter

[swift vault]

it is optional

and you do not need to beat PoP for that entry too

[tidal sandal]

how else do u get it

[swift vault]

it is in the beginning of it

[tidal sandal]

its at the end

[versed cave]

Pantheon

[swift vault]

seal of binding is in the beginning pal lol

again optional

[tidal sandal]

but its in the path of pain

[granite crane]

By the way, I tried AnyRad a bit, and I only reached the half-spike floor phase. This boss is difficult. I am struggling with the Orb Barrage and the Sword Walls coming from left and right and then the boss suddenly combos me by overlapping the attacks with orbs or something. Please give me some advice.

[swift vault]

okay i can help ya with this

[granite crane]

[grand oyster]

did you even beat absrad?

[swift vault]

basically try to survive as much as possible first learning how to dodge the attacks you can use inf HP
the Orbs can be dodged by running away doing somekind of circle

the walls is basically dashing, the easy way is to keep close to the floor but it is really recommended to learn how to chain it not touching the floor

Pogo Dash at each opening of the walls

to regain wings

[fierce blaze]

Henlooooooo fellow hk enjoyers and silksong cravers

[granite crane]

I always try to do that.

[swift vault]

yea you will get it eventually

[granite crane]

Alright!

[swift vault]

it is pretty common in HK maps to Pogo Dash immediately but not hard to learn now

[granite crane]

Should I use Balder Shell?

[fierce blaze]

Am new here cuz I wanted to branch out and meet new peeps

[swift vault]

Yea

[lusty lava]

I'm quite the opposite, if there's someone with me i feel more relaxed somehow

[fierce blaze]

Also am spheal

[swift vault]

Baldur Shell is necessary

[lusty lava]

what am i reading

[fierce blaze]

I'm just as confused lol

[swift vault]

doing a Carefree Melody run as first time is kinda crazy

[granite crane]

People when they read advice about AnyRad, without knowing what it even is:

[swift vault]

lol

[lusty lava]

wym run

this isn't a roguelike

[granite crane]

I don't like to use Carefree.

[swift vault]

fight, we usually call run or clear

speedrun

[granite crane]

I have never used Carefree in my entire life.

[tired dagger]

these people talking about hollow knight in hk-offtopic

may as well go in hk-discussion

[lusty lava]

it's hk offtopic
what's the topic? no one knows
therefore it's offtopic

[swift vault]

Carrot not here to talk about Low%

[granite crane]

And I never will, because I don't like that you suddenly don't lose hp when you get hit or something something zotespin i am sorry but zotespin elderbug yes because yes.

[fierce blaze]

B E E S

[swift vault]

it is Really good
again learning

ya going to do it for today then?

[granite crane]

Too bad I don't have Carefree in my save though.

[swift vault]

no you do not need to do it lol

[granite crane]

[swift vault]

it is for later heheh

[fierce blaze]

Anyways uhhhh, how's it goin

[granite crane]

I will try AnyRad a couple more times for today.

[granite crane]

You talkin' about climb?

[swift vault]

Baldur Shell is for it but it can also help on it

three "it" nice

[granite crane]

Alright, what Charm Build should I use on AnyRad?

[swift vault]

pretty Standart

Quick Slash, Strength, Baldur Shell, Stalwart Shell

Steady Body

[granite crane]

Alright.

[swift vault]

if you really want to change somethin
you could try Soul Eater?

[granite crane]

I will think about it.

[swift vault]

it is a different playstyle tho

[granite crane]

Soul Eater = DDark very often.

[swift vault]

yea

that is why you equip it

Quick Slash Pogoing the boss seem as efficient tho

[jovial hull]

baldurless climb would like to introduce itself

[swift vault]

Nix!!

[jovial hull]

unless its a different modded rad

[swift vault]

show me Hitless Climb without it show

[fierce blaze]

cries in no mods

[jovial hull]

ok no its AR

[fierce blaze]

[jovial hull]

i dont have the energy to TAS ar 1-3 and climb rn

[swift vault]

it must be really cool

[jovial hull]

but its possible

im gonna go do some 2.0 TASing

so, i'll do baldurless for that

[grand oyster]

carefree melody boring charm

[jovial hull]

ym boring charm

[fierce blaze]

[grand oyster]

do tas so melody always activates duh

[granite crane]

I agree.

[jovial hull]

actually

[swift vault]

what do you mean lol

[jovial hull]

Melody is coded to only be able to activate every other hit

[granite crane]

I am very sorry, Mango. Me will cry.

[grand oyster]

sucks

[jovial hull]

I can rng manip it to happen every other hit, but without modifying how it works, i can't do anything more

[cyan lichen]

how do i open this door

[grand oyster]

[jovial hull]

[cyan lichen]

idk can u get me a zoomed out screenie

[fierce blaze]

[jovial hull]

[swift vault]

[swift vault]

Catcher and Soul Eater you gonna do what Nix?

[jovial hull]

AR2 TAS

[pallid marten]

My friend is a [bleep] idiot

[swift vault]

is it that good to spam spell??

[jovial hull]

Not really, its mostly for spell stalling and i don't really have any other charm to put on

[swift vault]

ohh

[jovial hull]

maybe nmg ?

but then i need a 1 notch

[cyan lichen]

i feel so respected

[swift vault]

yea i dunno what could be better to be fair

[granite crane]

Get the Geo Chest that is within the Mantis Village, you will become one step closer to be as rich as Grubfather!

[dull oracle]

respect

[cyan lichen]

ik

god i despise deepnest so much

[granite crane]

Don't go there then.

[cyan lichen]

i needa get the pale tho

another unopenable door?

[swift vault]

explore a bit more around this area, you can keep progressing

[cyan lichen]

ik i have to open the thing with a key

but idk where to get more

[swift vault]

no you can keep exploring that area specifically

[cyan lichen]

i used my only one on the door to the very right of the town which was useless

[cyan lichen]

to get to waterways?

[pallid marten]

My friend refuses to go back to City of Tears to upgrade his Old Nail
Cus he is fighting Hornet

[swift vault]

no

[pallid marten]

Im not sure if i should be amuzed or sad over his stubbornness

[cyan lichen]

i killed hornet b4 upgrading

[swift vault]

he did a skip to get to city before Hornet? lol

[pallid marten]

No, he just missed everything
He has old nail and 3 charm slots

[grand oyster]

i killed hornet within the first hour of the game

[swift vault]

uhh how to get to city without skips

[grand oyster]

since that’s like you know required to get to fog canyon without skips

anyone who is fighting hornets should have old nail

[cyan lichen]

where can i get another key

[grand oyster]

sly

[swift vault]

Sly

[cyan lichen]

whats that

[pallid marten]

He hates primal aspids
So i guess we have one thing common for sure

[swift vault]

shopkeeper

[grand oyster]

bro never saved sly

[cyan lichen]

wheres that

[granite crane]

Or at City of Tears; the big room with a lot of platform and flying sentries in it.

[grand oyster]

wow he’s in kingdom’s edge before fighting hornet

[swift vault]

close to salubra or Gruz mother arena

[cyan lichen]

oh

wheres the closest one

[grand oyster]

hornet 2 before hornet 1?

[granite crane]

Everytime I send a message during these 15 minutes. That means I have lost to AnyRad.

[pallid marten]

No, the heck u talking about xd

[swift vault]

uhh it is in the same room of those i said

[cyan lichen]

wdym

[grand oyster]

how would he be fighting primal aspids if he hasn’t beaten hornet

[swift vault]

the guy you need is in that room

[pallid marten]

He beat Hornet 1 and went all through Soul Sanctuary and stuff to go to the Kingdom's Edge

[grand oyster]

if you meant hornet 2 then correct me

[cyan lichen]

what room

[swift vault]

😆 have you fought a big Fly boss?

[pallid marten]

The kind of drugs are you on to think my idiot friend is able to pull the skips
When he dies to miners in Crystal Edge

[cyan lichen]

[pallid marten]

[cyan lichen]

[dapper sandal]

Time for pain and suffering

[knotty valve]

[jovial hull]

so yrue

[opal jewel]

Jere I'm 1 win away

I have 17 minutes

15 now

Plsplsplsplsplsplsplsplsplsplsplspls

[dapper sandal]

On second thought ima fight 42 bosses in a row just to lose

[timid charm]

Back again.......

[cyan lichen]

man how do i beat the empty vessel

[storm wolf]

how many mask
what nail upgrade level
what spells

theres a lot to consider but usually if you have coiled nail and go with a spell charm build you can just vaporize him with some effort

[cyan lichen]

no extra masks, sharpened nail, vengeful and desolate and crystal heart

[storm wolf]

O K

take a step back

[cyan lichen]

?

[storm wolf]

ok heres some thing you want
at least 7 masks, channeled nail, and one or two upgraded spells

you speed running boi?

[cyan lichen]

no

i just wanna get the double jump so i can get a pale ore

i kidna got spoiled because i wanted to upgarde my nail

[storm wolf]

the one crystal caverns

[cyan lichen]

?

[storm wolf]

which pale ore

[grand oyster]

spoiled? don’t be in the channel with spoilers then

[cyan lichen]

in deepnest

[storm wolf]

nosk?

[cyan lichen]

?

[storm wolf]

you dont need double jump to fight nosk

[jaunty bramble]

they spoiled themselves on purpose

[storm wolf]

you can crystal dash to the breakabe wall

you said you have crystal heart

[grand oyster]

literally has a map with the entire game yep i know

[cyan lichen]

yes

[storm wolf]

you can fight nosk

[cyan lichen]

whos that

[storm wolf]

nosk

[grand oyster]

💀

[jaunty bramble]

I'd argue beating nosk is harder than beating broken vessel with that equipment

[storm wolf]

ok so have you gone to deepnest and seen a clone of yourself?

thats nosk

[cyan lichen]

yeah

i couldent get to it

[storm wolf]

https://tenor.com/view/hollow-knight-gif-13956224

[pallid marten]

I convinced my friend to go to Colosseum of Fools

[cyan lichen]

that looks terrifying

[storm wolf]

good choice

[storm wolf]

and its cheesable

[cyan lichen]

aww thats no fun

[storm wolf]

ok

just abuse a spell build then

[grand oyster]

well you don’t have to cheese 🫕

[pallid marten]

I prefer to not cheese Nosk. Funnier to chase him around like "i ain't trapped here with you, you are trapped here with me!"

[storm wolf]

i used to think the first hornet fight was hard

[azure spire]

it is the first time

[storm wolf]

then i commited git gud

[pallid marten]

It was shrimply krill issue

[cyan lichen]

wheres the wall in the crystal place

[dapper sandal]

.-.

[cyan lichen]

and where do i get more masks

[grand oyster]

holy shit we aren’t #hk-help

[cyan lichen]

ok

[opal jewel]

Why do they have dcrest

Who uses dcrest

[dapper sandal]

Stop hating on dcrest

[opal jewel]

It's bad, but at least it only costs 1 notch

It's mid

[storm wolf]

cheese

[opal jewel]

Bad is a bit mean

Cheese what

[dapper sandal]

It's used for a stinky build

10 bosses closer to my inevitable defeat

[proven thorn]

why

[opal jewel]

Dcrest is mid but that also means it's bad

[proven thorn]

at least it isn't actively detrimental, and it's just one notch

[vagrant scroll]

every time I have 1-2 good AbsRad fights, I end up having 10-15 more bad ones

I really wish I felt more consistent in beating her; finishing P5 still just feels way outside my reach

off the top of my head:

1. very easy to try and avoid one attack and end up slamming right into another; this especially happens when she does a sword wall followed by a sword drop, or a sword wall and big beam in the platform phase, and I end up getting hit by one or the other

2. orbs appearing literally where I am, particularly in the platform and final phases, so 100% unavoidable AFAICT

3. in general the RNG. I've had some fights where I finish the pre-platform sections hitless and some where I get killed within 30 seconds; for the hitless ones, it's still a crapshoot RE: getting to the last phase, or even to the climb

[cyan lichen]

7 masks, upgraded spells, my ass. I just beat vessel with 5 hearts, no upgrades, and shapened, what a gigachad i am.

[vagrant scroll]

sometimes I can have 2-3 great runs in a row, I even beat her 3 times in a row. then I tried for a 4th and it took almost an hour

[vestal granite]

I need another soul vessel fragment where can i find one

[cyan lichen]

sly shop

[vagrant scroll]

which ones do you have so far?

[willow juniper]

its as shrimple as that

[vestal granite]

All I know is both of slys the stag station one and two others

[vagrant scroll]

patience is one thing I definitely have worked to be persistent with. it usually pays off, but sometimes in the platform phase I just get a bad series of things all hitting me at once

not too much no, not unless she's within 1 platform

I tend to stay on the bottom-middle and wait for her

[cyan lichen]

yo thanks for your advice but i beat him without alla that

[vestal granite]

How many precepts does zote have

I'm trying to have him shut up

[vagrant scroll]

good luck, he never shuts up

[storm wolf]

ok

[vagrant scroll]

I think I gravitate towards the bottom-middle because then I have more platforms for the orbs to hit

I think part of it is that every strat I read/watch advises doing things I don't inherently do, i.e. pogoing and/or constantly spamming spells

[granite crane]

I agree with this statement.

[vagrant scroll]

I tried switching out MoP for Shaman Stone to better utilize shriek

but now it's easy for me to Shriek a lot and then end up with too little soul to heal

oh I know

[granite crane]

Utilize your soul.

[vagrant scroll]

that's what I'm saying, I took out MoP and put in Shaman Stone instead

[vagrant scroll]

I try to. I have to remember that Shrieking means she's more likely to transition faster

Shaman Stone / UnStrength / UnHeart / Quick Focus

I need QF for Pure Vessel

yeah, that's what makes it tricky

I need to try switching QF for Quick Slash

[granite crane]

That's kinda good Charm Build, to be honest. Though, I think you can change out Quick Focus for a better Charm if you want to.

[granite crane]

Quick Slash That charm is so good.

[vagrant scroll]

I do feel like I've gotten so much better with PV that I may not need QF

especially since I get a full heal + Lifeblood before them in P5

[granite crane]

I have a feeling that it won't be long until you beat Pantheon of Hallownest.

[vagrant scroll]

I hope so

I think I might try practicing the individual parts

I feel like absrad is the only fight where you need to actively change tactics with each phase

I will say, except for the occasional fluke I can beat the final phase almost every time, and usually hitless

one time I got to it with 1 mask left and still beat her

the only times I screw up final phase are when I slip off the platform and trigger the wings, instead of actually double jumping

but, again, once I get there I can usually finish her off

it's the getting there

do you find that steady body does a lot with her? I wouldn't think it would since you're generally swinging up

face dancing?

so, jump high and hit repeatedly?

oh yeah I definitely can't do that

with quickslash yeah?

I'll have to try that

I don't use Steady Body at all; I tried it when I first got it and I had gotten used to the knockback at that point, so I felt like I had to completely relearn how to fight

but I have to remind myself that absrad is such a different fight, esp with no contact damage

I'll try it for sure

thank you, I really appreciate it

I'm not good at enemy pogoing, but I can try

actually, I think I tried doing that a few times, and each time I got hit by falling swords/beams

that was something I just learned

I don't use ddark nearly as much as I should

I just watched an anyrad video

nope

[brave blaze]

what do the pale king and William afton have in common?

They’re both child murderers

[vagrant scroll]

wat

yeah anyrad is just ridiculous

wireless controller?

battery low maybe?

sometimes it happens with mine and I just have to smash every button to 'unstick' the controls

for me it stops registering dash, or triggers my great/cyclone slash when I press it while charging up

it's super irritating when it happens

anyway, thank you @brave blaze for the tips

I just came off almost an hour of unsuccessful practice -- the last try I actually died literally before the final hit -- so I had to step back and take a break, since it felt really disheartening

[cyan lichen]

hey theres some guy running through deepnest that looks like me and stuff just closed behind me

this is bad

hey whos this nosk fella

oh my god that is terrifying

how do i beat him

[vagrant scroll]

hide in the corner next to the raised section

[cyan lichen]

ok

[vagrant scroll]

you can hit it when it runs left and over you, and then pogo off him if he comes back to you

[cyan lichen]

thanks

[vagrant scroll]

and 90% of the time, his infection won't hit you if you're there

this in particular

when he goes on the ceiling, get out of the corner and guide him across the room, then double-jump/shade cloak to get through his falling infection and back to your corner

the timing takes a little getting used to, but once you have it he's very easy

[modest walrus]

I'm going to run away because I'm not into girls.

I don't want to mess with any girl.

After all, I need men, are you a man?

I agree, men and capybaras

Interesting question

Not a fact

Hm

Maybe you're a woman. but you're basically a man. Until we fully saw that you are a woman, so far you are a man

You look like Schrodinger's cat

[valid falcon]

Got it

[modest walrus]

They work quickly

Yes, he or she is. He tells us "I am a woman", claiming that he does not know this, but maybe he knows that he is a man?

The depth has not yet been determined

Well, do you think cats are liquid?

[quartz siren]

Congrats!

[modest walrus]

Mmm

[quartz siren]

Cats are almost liquid, but not quite

[modest walrus]

Of course, medic, everything is for you

They squeeze through in all places

[woven geyser]

I have Become mexican skeleton

[modest walrus]

It proves everything!

[woven geyser]

?

[modest walrus]

Classics of the genre

Confirm

No? Okay

Yes, no

Yno

I turned around to see if she had turned around to see if I had turned around.

She passed like a caravel over green waves, A cool downpour after a hot day. I looked back to see if she had looked back, To see if I had looked back

[covert current]

Ok

[cyan lichen]

bro nosk is impossible

how do i beat him

[modest walrus]

So far, the developers have not confirmed that it is possible to pass the Sock, so maybe you are right. I passed it, but there is no denying that it was a dream under anesthesia

[cyan lichen]

everything

he keeps hitting me even tho im in the corner

ik

[modest walrus]

You need to write to the police about this. Nosk is facing 15 years in prison

[swift vault]

the orange joe can still hit you there

[cyan lichen]

ik

i am

[modest walrus]

No spoilers! Dangerous Dangerous

[swift vault]

you got spells?

[cyan lichen]

yes

[swift vault]

which?

[modest walrus]

A peach?

[swift vault]

LOL

[cyan lichen]

dive, vengeful, crystal, thats it

[swift vault]

the white ones?

[cyan lichen]

yes

[modest walrus]

White is elegance

Black is the fashion

[swift vault]

so go explore and upgrade them, it will make life easier

[cyan lichen]

thats gonna help me beat the boss?

[swift vault]

yea

[cyan lichen]

in the vidoes they dont even use the spells

[swift vault]

because they do not like it
but it can be good

dive upgraded is real good

Nosk is also an kinda late game boss i guess

[cyan lichen]

for the boss?

[cyan lichen]

well how else do i get pure

[modest walrus]

Oh, man. I didn't find Sock chutley at the end of the story. And you're at least in the middle, even in the corner. The sock is crying

[swift vault]

later after getting more masks or charms or better spells

[cyan lichen]

alr

i needa upgrade my nail tho

[swift vault]

ya can take other Pale Ores that are easier

[cyan lichen]

how much do u need

[swift vault]

31?

[modest walrus]

Excuse me, but in my language, Nosk literally means Socks

[cyan lichen]

russian?

[cyan lichen]

and where do i get that much?

[modest walrus]

You guessed it

[cyan lichen]

i thought "noski" means socks

is there an easier way?

oh

[modest walrus]

Yes

[swift vault]

Crystal Peaks/Ancient Basin has Pale Ores

[cyan lichen]

i was just in ancient basin and i beat the boss

[swift vault]

not necessarly

[cyan lichen]

[modest walrus]

Time will stop

[swift vault]

[modest walrus]

https://tenor.com/view/times-up-time-to-stop-stop-it-clock-gif-14809690

Eyes, open your eyes and see your beloved paradise

By the way, I didn't plan a rhyme.

[swift vault]

lol

[modest walrus]

If anything, I speak through a translator

[cyan lichen]

oh

[swift vault]

ohh you use translator 👀

[modest walrus]

Yes, I use a translator. The translator is my husband, and his husband

[cyan lichen]

what?

[modest walrus]

He doesn't know. He doesn't know hee hee hee

[cyan lichen]

i dont think he actually means that, just google translate (probably) being google translate

what?

[modest walrus]

Me and my husband

Okay, this is a joke. This ugly guy is not my husband

[cyan lichen]

i didnt know that had a translator

oh

[modest walrus]

True this works too lol

i have an vid that is perfect but it is too big lol

[cyan lichen]

wdym its too big

[swift vault]

to big to put here on Discord

[cyan lichen]

[swift vault]

it would be worse here in the server you can send longer vids but that one is lil big

[cyan lichen]

oh

[swift vault]

try to Pogo the Boss when it comes to you

[cyan lichen]

are u sending a link or a file?

[swift vault]

file

[cyan lichen]

just send a link

unless its not on yt

[swift vault]

it is not because i tried to pretend as first timer

[cyan lichen]

well closing the save works, thank you even though you're a meanie

[cyan lichen]

wdym

[tiny moat]

Yo is that Gyro from the hit manga Jojo's Bizarre Adventure's Steel Ball Run?

[cyan lichen]

you called me incompitent because im new to the game?

[swift vault]

the fight i did it like someone who first saw it so someone would not feel overwhelmed but it makes the fight longer
well you did the thing now upgrade i guess

[cyan lichen]

oh

hey is the failed tramway still useable as a tram

[swift vault]

uhh no?

but there is somethin there

[cyan lichen]

oh

that sucks

i hope you get a nightmare

whats that

[cyan lichen]

what the hell

@swift vault wheres the pale near the tram

[burnt heath]

Near which tram

[cyan lichen]

basin

[burnt heath]

From the room you exit/board the tram, walk left instead of going to main basin

[cyan lichen]

wait maybe i know

[burnt heath]

Youll end up falling through a hole somewhere in the floor

[cyan lichen]

theres a room with the 2 spiky mouths

and then theres a locked door

or a thing blocking off a room

[burnt heath]

Spiky mouths??

[cyan lichen]

idk what theyre called

[burnt heath]

The mawlurks? Mini-mawlek

Those?

If so thats it

[cyan lichen]

yeah those

the ones that shoot orange gloop

[burnt heath]

Thats it then

[cyan lichen]

alr thanks

[swift vault]

bee helpin in offtopic

[cyan lichen]

good job

[swift vault]

yea am proud of ismobee

[delicate sigil]

Once again- I am asking for advice against Markoth.

This may stretch for weeks.

[swift vault]

is not Mark of Pride an good alternative?

and then Shade Soul `hase two

[delicate sigil]

I've tried soul and nail and I've came to a conclusion....

I'm fucking ass at this game.

[swift vault]

nah you are just not taking it calmly

try again focus and not stress

[delicate sigil]

It's hard enough trying to dodge his nails let alone attack him.

I like playing aggressive.

[swift vault]

you can attack Markoth in the Middle of the arena

or Pogo

[delicate sigil]

I've tried pogo-

[swift vault]

Mop has enough range to get hits better

it is adapting i guess

[delicate sigil]

I've fought him 50+ times-

[swift vault]

have you reached Phase 2?

[delicate sigil]

Uncommon.

But yes.

[swift vault]

when reachin that phase with Shaman Stone equipped, a few Shade Souls can finish the boss

[cyan lichen]

alright ive obtaind my nail upgrade, time to slay some foes

[delicate sigil]

I usually DONT have soul then.

[cyan lichen]

is there any pure ore thats locked behind bosses (except nosk)

[swift vault]

yea you can get from phase one

[delicate sigil]

Because.... My dumbass wants to get out of Phase 1 fast.

[swift vault]

yea phase one no rush first times, and ya will have soul for the harder phase which would be harder to get hits

[delicate sigil]

True. .

So should I just nail only for phase one and spam soul on him for phase two?

[swift vault]

there is another one but it is in an area you probably have not gone yet

[swift vault]

it is a way to do it

[delicate sigil]

How?

[swift vault]

i said it is a way to do it

[delicate sigil]

Oh

[cyan lichen]

oh i just realised i have to defeat nosk to get every nail upgrade

[delicate sigil]

Nosk ain't that bad

[swift vault]

yea it is in another place, you can use the trams?

[cyan lichen]

yeah

[cyan lichen]

it is

[swift vault]

the lower one lead to that area am talkin

[cyan lichen]

well do you have some reccomendation for bosses i can try to beat

but good bosses, not nosk

i mean like mantis lords, that was fun

so was hornet

[swift vault]

do what i said there i guess it is progression

[cyan lichen]

where

[swift vault]

this

[cyan lichen]

where is it

[swift vault]

i just asked you about Trams, so the lower one use it

[cyan lichen]

in basin?

[swift vault]

Carrot explosion of Reactions ✪ ω ✪

[plucky eagle]

true

[swift vault]

how is it goin?

[plucky eagle]

good, hows it going for you ?

[swift vault]

in a bit i will go beat Solaris Full Clear
today was pretty warm day :)

[glass fjord]

Yo

[inner turret]

I'm curious, assuming the white lady is a race of tree like higher beings does this mean that there could be a lifeblood tree being, and if so would I be all blue or be blooming the butterfly like plants

And could it produce lifeblood possessing offspring

[glass fjord]

I'm hoping for silksong at the game awards

[swift vault]

after editin the vid of this clear, i will probably be close to finish routing i guess

[plucky eagle]

cool

[swift vault]

Enraged Guardian Skip is very punishin if it is a speedrun lol

you have to beat Crystal Guardian and at the same time set a shade

would not it be an one time skip?!

if you miss you lose LOL

[cyan lichen]

hold on mango dont i have to unlock the tram station in the spot before i can drive to it

[swift vault]

ya said you could use it

you need something before to be able to use them

[plucky eagle]

oh could crystal guardian kill shade ?

[cyan lichen]

yeah i have the tram pass or whatever

[swift vault]

👍
you over if it go wrong

[cyan lichen]

but in theory you need to go to the station before you can go back to it

[plucky eagle]

i was just thinking of dying to guardian then coming back and beating it and then using shade

[cyan lichen]

its like that with stags

[swift vault]

yea then use the lower one

[swift vault]

the shade goes to the other side of the room?! 👀

i guess it does but it is such a time loss

[cyan lichen]

whats the area called

[swift vault]

the area you said earlier the failed tramways

to collect the thing

ya have it?

[cyan lichen]

deepnest?

[swift vault]

yea the thing to use Trams is there

[cyan lichen]

yeah i have that

[swift vault]

ohh

[cyan lichen]

but im asking

if you have to go to the tram station and open it before being able to fast tarvel to it

[swift vault]

go there you can use it

you have to go there not like a teleport thingy lol

[cyan lichen]

so i can go to any tram station without having to unlock it

[swift vault]

you have the item then yea

[cyan lichen]

alright thanks

so where should i go

[swift vault]

i said a few times before...... in the map you can see the lowest tram go there

[cyan lichen]

alr thanks]

is the boss hard

[swift vault]

they can be tricky i guess but similar to what you played

[cyan lichen]

well compared to mantis lords

[swift vault]

it is harder but i know you will learn it

[cyan lichen]

alright thank you

[plucky eagle]

noo i died on second phase soul tyrant lol

[swift vault]

Hog?

in Hall of Gods?

[plucky eagle]

no in regular i’m doing him on my steel soul

[swift vault]

ohh not bad in this case

going for achievements?

[cyan lichen]

@swift vault this?

[swift vault]

yea

[plucky eagle]

nah just for fun lol

[cyan lichen]

alr ty

[swift vault]

Steel Soul instead of hog Practice okk

[plucky eagle]

yea i wanna do a legitimate steel soul lol

[swift vault]

have done Steel Soul only one time, it is like normal game -~-

[plucky eagle]

ye i cheated and used savequits to get the achievements lol

[swift vault]

this is not cheating

[plucky eagle]

it is

[swift vault]

...

[cyan lichen]

kingdoms edge?

[swift vault]

you just taking away that way to play the game

[plucky eagle]

also i beat soul tyrant 1 hp lol

[swift vault]

hard bossssss because it is super slow 👍

[plucky eagle]

it was hard to hit with basically only dash lol

[swift vault]

Dash is pretty standart to be fair

it can happen in a first playthrough as well

[plucky eagle]

yea

he just was teleporting too far away for me to be able to hit lol
2nd phase was little hard because not used to the timings on his dives

[swift vault]

Slash Up dash away and nail trun around for phase two

at each dive

on switch it must be a bit harsh

[plucky eagle]

mango that way too fancy
also just found record cenda never knew about it before now

[swift vault]

it is speedrunning strats but that is not the one that deals most damage but definetly really consistent

you could try Up slash and dash away

it deals a lil bit of damage and time well the dives

[plucky eagle]

i was just trying to dash away lol

[swift vault]

yea it doesn't seem intuitive to hit the boss during the animations

but up slash is pretty easy

that is why people do one cycle Soul Tyrant even without Flukenest which is half cycle lol

[plucky eagle]

yea makes sense

[swift vault]

good luck with the run
gonna finish this clear and route a bit more :P

[plucky eagle]

nice
ima go get wings

wings are fun

i also happen to have 7000 geo so ima get the vessel fragment

[cyan lichen]

hey theres dead bodies falling, i think that means a boss

[plucky eagle]

maybe maybe not

[cyan lichen]

hmm

thats suspicious

how do i uh

is ti the crystal heart?

[heady dew]

no

[cyan lichen]

oh

[heady dew]

well

I think you can use crystal heart there

[plucky eagle]

you could use it but that’s not what the game intends at all

[cyan lichen]

gonna be risky

[heady dew]

but it’s a speedrun skip that’s very difficult

[cyan lichen]

does it break the game?

[heady dew]

no

[cyan lichen]

k

[plucky eagle]

you can also just go around that spot btw

[cyan lichen]

oh

how

[heady dew]

it’s just extremely hard to pull off and jumbles up the intended progression

well

you get to place before you’re meant to

[cyan lichen]

i just wanna get to the geo

[heady dew]

well

[plucky eagle]

go down there’s another path that’ll let you bypass going through there

[cyan lichen]

k

down from that place?

or the other side

[plucky eagle]

down from how you got into that place

[cyan lichen]

k

yo who are these jumping bugs

[plucky eagle]

hoppers

[cyan lichen]

hey

[hushed mist]

Yall ever just take MoP off and start missing swings 🤡

[plucky eagle]

no i just never have mop on

[cyan lichen]

whats mop

[plucky eagle]

need an upgrade to get past that

mark of pride

[cyan lichen]

k

wait i have that the charm

[plucky eagle]

ye it increases nail length

[cyan lichen]

from the mantis lords

[burnt heath]

Different answers

[heady dew]

have y’all seen that ez gaming guy

[burnt heath]

Yeah its kinda cool

[burnt heath]

Uh no? Maybe? Idk

[heady dew]

He’s this guy who just says games are terrible
And he was doing lost kin
And basically he died like 20 times and then won before saying he one 1st try and all the other attempts he was just examining the moves and that the games is easy

[wispy onyx]

well you could pull out the Crystal Dash skip over it, or use the game intended method of first getting Isma's Tear

so pick your poison

[karmic willow]

howdy hi

[vestal granite]

Idk what to do rn

Closest thing I'm at completing is beating watcher knights

[burnt heath]

Play among us

[vestal granite]

No

[karmic willow]

i've gotten back into this game it's so over /pos

damn my last message here was in 2021???

[wispy onyx]

welcome back then, lassie

[plucky eagle]

go do that

[karmic willow]

[vestal granite]

Last 2 knights are a pain in my ass

[cyan lichen]

so wheres the boss

[plucky eagle]

i mean if you can get past 3 you can get past 2 more

[vestal granite]

Which boss

[karmic willow]

to unrust i spent a lot of time yday trying to beat radiant lost kin (in the past i did every radiant boss back in fuckin 2020 LMAO)

[cyan lichen]

in kingdoms edge

[plucky eagle]

head up

[heady dew]

Radiant fights are really good imo

[vestal granite]

Goddamit I have to get used to jump height again

[karmic willow]

radiant watcher knights gave me a migraine

[vestal granite]

I was playing cuphead and I barely have any horizontal mobility in that

[karmic willow]

so i disagree :3

[plucky eagle]

uhh i never look at maps uhh

[heady dew]

I’ve not done that yet
My hardest radiants currently are Collector, Lost Kin, and Grimm

[wispy onyx]

alright give me some minutes and I'll be back

[cyan lichen]

thanks

[karmic willow]

my longest radiants were oblobbles, watcher knights and absrad

[vestal granite]

It's that path on the bottom right of that image

[half wren]

https://tenor.com/view/hello-chat-discord-cat-discord-cat-cat-chips-gif-23734919

[cyan lichen]

alr ill check it out

[heady dew]

That’s not the way to hornet 2

[heady dew]

Don’t, it’s the wrong way

[vestal granite]

It is

I'm looking at the in-game map rn

[half wren]

Bottom right is Markoth

[heady dew]

That’s the way to nailmaster Oro

[heady dew]

that too

[vestal granite]

Not complete bottom right I mean bottom right of the ss

[half wren]

My brother in Gorb, the map doesn't show bosses, no pins will, either

[cyan lichen]

?

[vestal granite]

I memorized the map tho

[heady dew]

go to the top right

[vestal granite]

So I know where on the map the boss is

[heady dew]

Hornet 2 isn’t in the bottom left

[half wren]

Then why say you're checking the in game map???

[vestal granite]

Not there

[cyan lichen]

well atleast theres a bench

[heady dew]

There’s a breakable wall iirc

[cyan lichen]

ill check

[vestal granite]

Cause I memorized it?

[burnt heath]

Wtf no?

[cyan lichen]

yo i saw hornet

[plucky eagle]

in that image of the map it is

[half wren]

You're going in circles. If you memorized the map, why check it?

[burnt heath]

Chat wtf hornet 2 IS to the bottom right of the image

[heady dew]

I’m not talking about that image I’m talking about kingdoms edge in general

[vestal granite]

To double check

[cyan lichen]

uh oh

boss is here

[half wren]

Fair enough

[plucky eagle]

hornt

[wispy onyx]

alright here it i-

[heady dew]

[wispy onyx]

[burnt heath]

H2 is easier

[cyan lichen]

alr i died but that was just my first try, i messed up in the start but im used to hornet attacks

[wispy onyx]

well seems I didn't needed to help at all so I kind of wasted effort. Well...

[vestal granite]

Did you get to phase 2 at least
