[knotty valve]

is that a photo of a car or an NFT of a photo of a car

[austere flower]

its funnier to say its an nft

[knotty valve]

already downloaded babeee

[austere flower]

yeahhh

[smoky chasm]

Now do it rad with fury (like I’ve been trying for quite a while)

[brave blaze]

bro i cant even do it on ascended

[smoky chasm]

I got so close once

I missed my last shriek completely tho

[brave blaze]

dam

[austere flower]

you cannot stop me

[harsh gorge]

How are you guys struggling so much on markoth of all bosses

[brave blaze]

bro

i did pure vessel on radiant

but somehow cant do markoth on ascended

[versed cave]

Markoth is the most difficult boss to radiant

[brave blaze]

yh

[harsh gorge]

You just walk left and right holding up on the look button tho

[pure dome]

Ascended markoth doesn't have a floor

[harsh gorge]

Ah

[regal iron]

Nah I'd say ||absolute radiance|| is harder because of the speed, though she is easier once you've gotten consistent at fighting her.

[harsh gorge]

Still shouldnt be harder than radiant P vessel

[versed cave]

Markoth is more difficult

[brave blaze]

wym nuh uh

[regal iron]

I personally disagree but your opinion is yours

[pure dome]

Pure vessel is always consistent, markoth isn't

[harsh gorge]

Oh no he pulled out the nuh uh card

[regal iron]

Markoth took my soul + 3 hours of grinding

[versed cave]

i guess, i’ve all bosses radiant except for markoth

[regal iron]

AbsRad took double that

[versed cave]

you die in one hit on radiant

[regal iron]

That doesn't matter on radiant since it's one-shot kill

[brave blaze]

i just hate all the dream bosses

like

y do they fly

[harsh gorge]

Master hu cant be that bad right?

[versed cave]

Master hu is master hu

[regal iron]

His rng is BS, but apart from that...

[brave blaze]

master hu is ez

i ate his pancakes

[regal iron]

Sorry I meant rng

If he does the one where he disappears it gets frustrating real quick

Especially in p3 all bindings

[harsh gorge]

All my homies hate marmu

[regal iron]

Because he is right before colelctor

[harsh gorge]

Wait im thinking about ummu not marmu

[regal iron]

Yeah f ummu

Especially the Godhome one

[harsh gorge]

Specifically the godhome one

[regal iron]

The normal one is fine-ish if you have Isma's

Radiant Umu is just pain

[harsh gorge]

Normal one is easy even without ismas

[brave blaze]

||dream wielder||

[regal iron]

Can't really do that effectively in Godhome to my experience

[harsh gorge]

Every other boss in p3

[undone chasm]

You don't need to use spoiler tags here btw

[knotty valve]

5 abyss shrieks

oh have you tried spell twister

[regal iron]

Nah you're forgetting Invincible, Fearless, Sensual, Mysterious, Enchanting, Vigorous, Diligent, Overwhelming, Gorgeous, Passionate, Terrifying, Beautiful, Powerful, Grey Prince Zote

[brave blaze]

gpz isnt that hard tbh, just a bit annoying

[regal iron]

On radiant though...

[brave blaze]

fr

[regal iron]

And all binding p3 is just (censored)

GPZ hardlocks my p3 all bindings runs

[brave blaze]

W?

[harsh gorge]

You practically need future vision for zote

[harsh gorge]

Yippie

[brave blaze]

(i still died to no eyes in p5)

[regal iron]

Yeah, to match his, since he is the one and only Invincible, Fearless, Sensual, Mysterious, Enchanting, Vigorous, Diligent, Overwhelming, Gorgeous, Passionate, Terrifying, Beautiful, Powerful, Grey Prince Zote.

[regal iron]

We've all been there 🙂

No-eyes is my nemesis on ascended/radiant... I'm very sensitive to green on screens for some reason, so I'm basically blind during that battle :/

[regal iron]

Congrats btw

[brave blaze]

thx

[harsh gorge]

Next step is weathered mask journal entry

[versed cave]

[regal iron]

Quite the feat

[regal iron]

That one was pain

Charm binding is the hardest for sure

Do them one at a time

[brave blaze]

btw do i need to do p5 with all bindings

for the land of storms

[regal iron]

Yes, but not all at once

[harsh gorge]

I dont think im even gonna bother doing radiant bosses since its not worth a trophy on ps

[regal iron]

One at a time is fine

[brave blaze]

ima try that

[regal iron]

You got it! Believe!

[brave blaze]

what do yall suggest on p3

[regal iron]

All bindings?

[brave blaze]

i already did p1 and p2 all bindings

[brave blaze]

na

one at a time

what do i do first

[regal iron]

I'd get all one at a time

Charms is normally hardest I'd say

[harsh gorge]

I would say put on the quick heal charm at the first bench if you struggle with zote

[regal iron]

So start with that

[brave blaze]

ima just try all bindings

[brave blaze]

note to self:dont try that again

[regal iron]

My build is normally quick slash, strength, shaman's and spell twister

[regal iron]

Yeah no 🙂

[brave blaze]

ill try shell

[regal iron]

I'd recommend getting all radiant first in HoG, then try all-bindings runs

All-bindings referring to all at once

(so four bindings)

[red cove]

всім пр

[brave blaze]

what

[red cove]

не

я укрик

ukranian

[regal iron]

For shell I'd recommend Unb./Fra. Heart, strength, quick slash and shamans

Twister is nice if you're confident you can dodge most attacks

[red cove]

ok

i know

[brave blaze]

Portugese and spanish

Thea Time typing up an essay 😭

fr

[burnt heath]

Discord users when you take more than two picoseconds to write:

[red cove]

what is he writing there for so long?

[regal iron]

My recommendations for p3:
-Shell: Fragile/Unbreakable Heart, Fragile/Unbreakable Strength, Quick Slash and Shaman Stone.

-Soul: Quick Slash, Fragile/Unbreakable Strength, Mark of Pride, Longnail

-Charms: no charms

-Nail: Fragile/Unbreakable Strength, Shaman Stone, Spell Twister, charms of choice: I'd use Quick Slash or Grubsong + Soul Catcher

[brave blaze]

Its been like 6 mins

[regal iron]

@brave blaze

[brave blaze]

Is ur name a reference to Drake's part on that one Travis Scott song?

[regal iron]

Nope, never heard of it sorry :/

I just like thea a lot ^^

[brave blaze]

thx

[regal iron]

(and no I'm not British )

[red cove]

very good advice

[brave blaze]

MELTDOWN by Travis Scott ft. Drake

[regal iron]

Thanks

[burnt heath]

I would add grubsong+smth or twister in soul rather than longnail

[brave blaze]

Bro rn

[brave blaze]

good

[regal iron]

I can probs help with strats for most bosses/pantheons if one were to ask (including Pale Court, AbsInfKing Grimm, Corrupted Kin), since I beat all but some (Corrupted Kin, P3-P5) on radiant or all bindings

[red cove]

how to pass pantheon 5, because I can't

[regal iron]

I also collected a lot of data on Pale Court as a mod, so hopefully the poll on HK-wiki modded pages result in a modded sub-domain

Since I could then help with the page

[finite pivot]

Git gud (jk)

[regal iron]

What build do you use?

[finite pivot]

Also Markoth

[burnt heath]

Markoth isnt that bad

[red cove]

unbreakable strength, unbreakable life, fast attack, and spider spawn

[brave blaze]

it is

[burnt heath]

Hk-off/disc try not to exagerate markoth to death

[regal iron]

Ascended is 🙂

[finite pivot]

He isn't too hard to defeat, but you need to keep you hp for Zote

[burnt heath]

Yeah but theyre not doing it ascended or radiant

[regal iron]

P5 uses ascended arenas

[finite pivot]

I know, he's overhated

[burnt heath]

And if you dont know how to travel through floating platforms thats not the only boss youd struggle on

[regal iron]

Radiant Markoth isn't though :/

[burnt heath]

But normal is

[regal iron]

It's a fine build, but I'd recommend either leaning into spiders more or into your nail: do you use spells consistently?

[finite pivot]

When I fought him it didn't feel hard, it felt like I was the one having skill issues

[regal iron]

Agreed normal one is pathetic

[finite pivot]

After some time I beat him

[burnt heath]

The point is practice on what youre steuggling on, not only what is deemed difficult by others

[regal iron]

The problem is that he is so rng dependent it's stupid; his nails can occasionally spawn under you when jumping, and they can appear off-screen

[burnt heath]

And why are you saying that like hes the only rng boss?

[regal iron]

He is not

[burnt heath]

Literslly every dream warrior is rng

[regal iron]

He is the most rng dependent boss

[finite pivot]

Yeah, that's the most annoying part, but it doesn't happen often

[burnt heath]

Thats kinda subjective

[regal iron]

(it happened so much on my attempts)

[finite pivot]

I miss 7 bosses to complete radhog

[regal iron]

Yes and no; he doesn't have the most rng of all bosses, but he does have the biggest rng-related difficulty spike according to a large percentage of the community, only (maybe) bested by AbsRad

[spiral peak]

gm

[regal iron]

But AbsRad has a higher base difficulty than Markoth, resulting in Markoth having a greater difficulty peak: he is either just a pain in the butt or the destroyer of worlds

[regal iron]

GM!

[burnt heath]

I still disagree, it is definitely overhated

Hes like barely any problem normally

[regal iron]

@red cove

[burnt heath]

And if youve never fought markoth before then you literally arent doing p5

[regal iron]

Yes

[burnt heath]

Mainly because its required to be fought twice

[finite pivot]

I got nosk and absrad attuned. Obbloble, Zote, Oro and Mato, Soul Tyrant and the nail sage ascended

[regal iron]

Have you beaten P5 or not

Because Markoth has murdered quite a bunch of P5 attempts in this fanbase :/

Nah I'm bad :/

[spiral peak]

is this off topic or not?

[burnt heath]

Just the same as a tonnof different bosses have done

[regal iron]

900-ish, I have barely any foresight

[burnt heath]

All the way up from absrad to like winged nosk

[regal iron]

It was a joke

[spiral peak]

[regal iron]

But in general, going back to the earlier questions about P5, my advised to-do list:
-Practise all bosses on ascended in the Hall of Gods, all but ||Absolute Radiance|| if you have yet to encounter them at pantheon's peak. If you have encountered them, practise them too on ascended. Most bosses in P5 use the ascended areas, so don't slack off and practise on attuned.

-Use builds that work to your strengths: if you prefer using spells, go a spell oreinted build with Shaman Stone and Spelltwister with Soul Catcher/Eater or something in those lines. If you are more into nail damage, use Quickslash, Fragile/Unbreakable Strength, Mark of Pride and Longnail. I personally like to use a hybrid build of Quickslash, Fragile/Unbreakable Strength, Shaman Stone and Spell Twister.
Don't limit yourself to my preferences. Test your own builds and discover your preferences instead! You'll do much better with a build catered around your playstyle.

-Finetune your build around bosses to come. If you know you struggle against Marmu and keep losing, use charms that increase nail range. If you struggle versus NKG, use a nail-oriented build. Even the easiest bosses can be a struggle at times, so plan in advance what you want your build to look like in particular parts of the pantheon.

-Lastly, keep yourself calm and collected. Raging is appealing after so many runs, but if you feel like you are getting annoyed, take a break. A bad mood is probably going to impact your performance negatively, so try to either stay calm or to take short breakers in between attempts.

Best of luck to those attempting the climb to Pantheon's Peak!

Yup

That's what she said-

Da meme

Long - particular reproductive organ

Yes

[brave blaze]

[brave blaze]

The wing hitbox is just stupid thats why it feels rng

[white summit]

The attack where he spills infection always get me if i have Bad luck

[white summit]

I don't struggle with that attack tbh

[swift vault]

Winged Nosk is Silly

[versed cave]

He’s like a giant giant fly boss

[versed cave]

do descending dark or the balder shell

don’t rely on chances

[swift vault]

jump and Dash it is so safe

[icy bolt]

I wonder how bath bomb tastes

[swift vault]

people forget they can Shade Cloak through the attacks lol

[delicate sigil]

Instead of the watcher Knights we got the Hunting Squires.

[delicate sigil]

Take a big black one and put it in your mouth.

[woven nova]

Good day members of Hollow Knight: I'm currently facing a problem
I have thrown my cat into high into the sky about two minutes ago and he still didn't return, what do I do?
Help is much apprecciated!

[burnt heath]

Yeah uh so how do i tell you this

Before adopting a pet make sure they dont have the ability to grow wings and fly away

I learned that the hard way

😔

[swift vault]

winged Grimm?

[burnt heath]

Bats always have wings tho

[delicate sigil]

Pass

[swift vault]

[woven nova]

Update: My cat has been flying so much it reached the Silksong exists dimension
Any help chat?

[burnt heath]

I-

[delicate sigil]

What?

[burnt heath]

Hes probably not coming back

[woven nova]

Bait used to believable

-|

[delicate sigil]

I WOULD Smash grimm.

In a fight.

[midnight oasis]

[burnt heath]

Yeah so can you not
I know where youre going with this

[delicate sigil]

Got it.

[midnight oasis]

-| has spread from reddit to here

[ashen wadi]

Have you been clipping its wings like you’re supposed to

[woven nova]

I'm afraid not

[burnt heath]

Is this another one of those lame thingies the fandom gets obssed with everymonth?

[delicate sigil]

[midnight oasis]

Its a simplified version of the "Bait used to be believable" image, yeah its lame

[ashen wadi]

It’s way too simplified to read as that c’mon Reddit I expect better from you

[burnt heath]

Yall are both extremely predictable and combination of cringe and boring

hk memes needs a new hobby
Or therapy

[scenic frost]

Hk community try to make a funny joke challenge (implausible task)

Seriously tho what is I-

[gaunt geyser]

Cringe sth

[scenic frost]

Er -|

Tf is it

[gaunt geyser]

-| ym

[undone chasm]

Is this loss?

[gaunt geyser]

-| what

[scenic frost]

Don't mess with us hollow knight fans, we have 3 jokes

[undone chasm]

How do you not know what loss is

Am I getting old

[scenic frost]

What is loss

[midnight oasis]

Thats not loss

[undone chasm]

Is loss

But the trend was to say it everytime you see something even remotely resembling it

Aka 2 lines

[scenic frost]

Ah

LOSS

[ashen wadi]

That’s not even the original thing

[midnight oasis]

It isn't yeah

[ashen wadi]

[undone chasm]

The original thing is an unfunny comic so

[ashen wadi]

I don’t think it was supposed to be funny

[scenic frost]

What even is this

[undone chasm]

Loss

[midnight oasis]

It wasn't

[undone chasm]

Okay good

[midnight oasis]

The comic in general was trying to be funny but some genius decided to slap a miscarriage subplot in there

I dont think it even comes up again

[ashen wadi]

Well it doesn’t sound fantastically handled but still

[eager falcon]

if anyone wants to do a hk bingo i have some cool ideas for squares:

Kill nailsmith’s bestie (sheo in p2) with only pure nail hits

Myla’s revenge (die to myla and dont kill her)

beat grimm one cycle (kill him before/during one pufferfish attack)

Give everyone but the grave a flower

mimick gorb’s voice for the whole gorb fight

kill marmu with only minions/dreamshield/thorns/stink damage/etc.

[scenic frost]

This is way hard except for gorb and myla

[icy bolt]

Optional objective: Find maurice

[granite crane]

@swift vault I am now back. We can start the race now, if you want. I am ready.

[swift vault]

Poggers

my Discord is kinda slow today dunno why :(

[muted jasper]

[granite crane]

[swift vault]

well as Mango said in the other message, i saw a lil bit and this gonna be fun heheh

[granite crane]

Is the Invincibility Monitor allowed when we race?

[swift vault]

yes definetly

[granite crane]

Yay!

[swift vault]

legacy quick slash too....this is real wild

[granite crane]

Indeed it is. Is QoL allowed?

[swift vault]

Mango uses QOL too...this should not affect at all in the fights so yea

[granite crane]

Good!

[swift vault]

Flukenest 3 otherwise this gonna be a Fluke run

[granite crane]

Mods I will use: DebugMod, God Soul, Invincibilty Monitor, QoL, SFCore, Vasi.

[swift vault]

game is opening

[granite crane]

Launching the game now.

[swift vault]

ya going to record it right? :D

[granite crane]

Don't start yet, let me get the upgraded spells and stuff.

[granite crane]

I will tell you when we can start.

[scenic frost]

Hello

[swift vault]

[granite crane]

[swift vault]

debug menu and alternate the things there till you see like "Give extra mask, vessel, Notch"

it is the 10/17

Binds lol make sense that name

[chrome rose]

[swift vault]

kay Mango just do a lil quick chat once in the day

[granite crane]

Me not live here. Maybe whenever you join, you see us communicating. Coincidence?

[chrome rose]

I think not

[granite crane]

[chrome rose]

[granite crane]

By the way, should we do the bosses in order that is on the lore tablet in HoG?

[swift vault]

yea this seems cool
i will do in statue order

of course starting from the entrance

[granite crane]

Yeah, I'll do the same order as you. So the statues on the 1st floor from left to right, then the statues on 2nd floor from left to right?

[swift vault]

yes

[granite crane]

Alright, I have the Charm Build ready. We will start, now.

[swift vault]

LET`S GO!!

[chrome rose]

[swift vault]

Hornet Got me once LOL

[granite crane]

HOW FAILED CHAMPION???

WHAT.

[swift vault]

Failed Champ eassssssy :P just Quick hit and tank llol so funny

[granite crane]

[finite pivot]

Advice, even though you probably noticed that, he does the waves when he jumps backwards

[granite crane]

Haha, yes. Though, this is God Soul.

[finite pivot]

Oh, didn't know, sorry

[swift vault]

LOL i just discorvered a cheese for one of the worst bosses
😆 it is ridiculous

[granite crane]

No problem.

[granite crane]

[swift vault]

it really works! i think you gonna need this because this is harsh heheh

am gonna try without it now :P

[granite crane]

Well, I don't think I'll reach that boss. Failed Champion completely stopped me.

[swift vault]

Bro Quick Slash Strength lifeblood Core Stalwart shell

two already start down so it is not hard

[kind mason]

dont forget sharp shadow

am i wrong tho?

[granite crane]

G o d S o u l

[granite crane]

Oh, alright.

[swift vault]

really Failed Champ is a lot easier than other bosses

[kind mason]

i struggled a lot with him when i first started but after a few tries he's not the worst

[plucky eagle]

so true

[swift vault]

we racin

[granite crane]

Already using that loadout, but I switched Core with Joni's because I would have one more notch if I used that charm build.

[swift vault]

Lost Kin time lol

[plucky eagle]

oo you two racing

[raw olive]

Hi guys

[kind mason]

ello

what do you guys think is the worst boss in hk?

[ashen wadi]

In what way

[raw olive]

İdk Man im new

İ only defeated like 10 bosses

[swift vault]

Joni is Four notches what do you mean??!?!?!?!

[raw olive]

İm mobile btw

[kind mason]

just which one do you personally feel is the least fun to fight

[swift vault]

Hive knight no changes i did not know that 15 sec fight lol

[ashen wadi]

Most of the dream warriors are boring, mmc, vfk, gruz mother are boring

[swift vault]

MMC almost killed me

[grand oyster]

mobile what

[granite crane]

Joni's always was 4 notches.

[raw olive]

Mobile

Player

[grand oyster]

that’s not allowed iirc

[ashen wadi]

Weird thing to advertise for no reason

[swift vault]

Stalwart Shell IS SO GOOD MY GOD AM LOVIN IT

[raw olive]

Sait what

[grand oyster]

it’s piracy

[raw olive]

Oh im sorry

[swift vault]

the bosses die so FASTTTTTT

[raw olive]

İ dont have a PC

İm sorry İ will delete it

[kind mason]

what is stalwart shell is it a charm i dont know about?

[grand oyster]

if you didn’t buy the game it’s piracy so don’t advertise it

[raw olive]

Ok so so sorry

[wooden matrix]

its an early game charm

[kind mason]

huh i must have missed it

[grand oyster]

it’s bad anyways

[raw olive]

Where do you obrain it

[grand oyster]

very niche charm

[swift vault]

Yea more Iframes kill the bosses like nothin

[wooden matrix]

i lied u have to kill absrad for it

[brave blaze]

Arthur, Mor, Gan

[ashen wadi]

Given how low the bar for bad is, stalwart shell is…. Eh

[grand oyster]

sharp shadow

[raw olive]

Oh

[kind mason]

read dead very good

[swift vault]

God Lost Kin died less than 30 sec LOL

[kind mason]

so just face tank?

[ashen wadi]

Worse than stalwart but doesn’t really help

[swift vault]

yea with Ddark is super optimal

[kind mason]

isn't it kinda boring tho?

[swift vault]

it is speedkilling really pog

am almost half Hog

[kind mason]

ig its up to personal preference but dont you actually wanna learn the moves and kill the boss in a duel?

[raw olive]

Can anyone help me to defeat that one boss who is like crab and sends orange juice

[swift vault]

that made me feel a bit PK

[grand oyster]

are you playing the same game

[kind mason]

brooding mawlek?

[raw olive]

Yeah

[raw olive]

Yeah

Mid game ig

[kind mason]

oh mid game

[grand oyster]

game is mid

[raw olive]

Nooo 😭😭😭

[fathom pelican]

Very early game fym

Brooding mawlek is at the start

[raw olive]

What

[brave blaze]

Oh no, Dutch is thinking... This cant be good!

[grand oyster]

can get there without anything besides nail

[fathom pelican]

Yeah

[kind mason]

thats the fun part about ametroidvania you can miss bosses completely

[raw olive]

That one boss you go there with mantis claffs

[swift vault]

you got Failed Champion? am so hyped
Really i have not felt this a long time already, all challenges were so bald

[fathom pelican]

True, though if he is having trouble with it he's still early game

[kind mason]

its cause ppl use a skip where they only need nail

[raw olive]

Howw

[swift vault]

am about to finish floor 1

[fathom pelican]

It ain't a skip tho

[raw olive]

İm noob 😭😭😭

[kind mason]

it ain't?

[fathom pelican]

No it's just a more advanced way

That's why it's spikes and not vines

[kind mason]

dw about that just play the game you'll figure it out

[raw olive]

Ok Man İ trustt you

[swift vault]

Zote was pretty harsh but really cool
now 2 floor probably gonna be the hard things

White Defender Deals Double Damage?! That is so silly and Bald at the same time

[granite crane]

No, I am still on that boss.

[swift vault]

oh my god
that is why i said for you to practice Speedkillin

i could send ya a clip but i wanted to see your strats -~-

[granite crane]

I am trying, but they are just jumping everywhere.

[swift vault]

Focus on the ones that start on the floor

when they go to the middle tank the damage and make them fall again

it is pretty simple lol

[granite crane]

Oooohhhhh, never thought of that.

[swift vault]

Oh my godness you were making it harder 😆

[granite crane]

[swift vault]

only one should be up after a lil bit...which is super simple then

i beated the clones first but you can switch as well

[granite crane]

WOW, IT WORKED. WHY DIDN'T I THINK ABOUT THAT? Thank you!

[swift vault]

Welcome To Speedrunning/ Speedkilling
you will make all bosses suffer lol

[granite crane]

Respect that you're helping me, even though it's a race.

[granite crane]

[swift vault]

i mean i have not showed a clip heh
well you lost a lot of time...but i guess i will lose a bit as well trying to figure out White Defender

Soul Tyrant is horrible almost got me

[granite crane]

Oh, Markoth abilities...

[swift vault]

they teleport too fast...

almost no damage

Phase two wish Speedkill strat and Fury was super fast tho 👍

got lucky that the boss was on the ground lol

why White Defender is dealing double damage sometimes...that boss has so much HP X_X

when entering Phase 2 i do not even know where he is going to leave from the ground ow

[granite crane]

Ah yes, Ogrim really learned how to camouflage now.

[swift vault]

that double damage is breaking me -_-
even with good patterns am not even close to finish phase 2

[kind mason]

oh are you guys racing?

[swift vault]

yea i think i got a huge advantage but this still very harsh

[kind mason]

you trying to see who beats it first?

[swift vault]

am on floor 2 dunno about him

[kind mason]

is it the whole game or?

[swift vault]

God Hog

[kind mason]

god hog?

[swift vault]

Godsoul Hall of Gods

[granite crane]

If you take it out of context, then it is something else; A godly animal.

[cold valley]

Oh god I've barely played godsoul but that sounds awful

[kind mason]

oh its a mod

right?

alr

[granite crane]

I have tried Double White Defender without God Soul, and they still dealt two damage, for some reason.

[swift vault]

WHAT?????????

[granite crane]

Yes, broken thing I found out.

[swift vault]

that does not make sense oh my godness

[granite crane]

Sisters of Battle, me on it now. I HATE those wind-scythes.

[swift vault]

Oh wow you beated Mantis Lords congrats

[granite crane]

The fight itself is not hard, only those wind-scythes.

[swift vault]

there is a cheese to beat this boss easily

[kind mason]

how does the mod work is it just making the bosses harder or?

[swift vault]

gonna let you find out, try to be creative

[granite crane]

Abyss Shriek spam when they on the wall`?

[swift vault]

i tried that quite a lot, i think it can be possible if there is not so many of those bald things

that cheese allow to even do hitless lol

[granite crane]

[swift vault]

look with attention in the beginning of the fight....you might see a way to cheese it

[granite crane]

You mean only dream nail and kill them with Spells?

[granite crane]

I thought about that, but didn't do it, for some reason.

[swift vault]

that seems wild you could do somethin similar that is easier :P

[granite crane]

But I will try it now.

[swift vault]

after all Dreamnail is not the only way to get Soul (¬‿¬)

[granite crane]

Grubsong.

[kind mason]

how do you even unlock sisters of battle in base game?

[swift vault]

P5

[kind mason]

ah

[granite crane]

Godhome, P5.

[swift vault]

Grubsong

[kind mason]

oh do you guys have any tips for markoth? He's being a real pain in the ass

[swift vault]

i could assist ya with this but am thinking about strats now, you can go to #hk-help there are bunch of people there waitin LOL

[kind mason]

oh right i forgot #hk-help was a thing

[brave blaze]

Hello

This is a test:

🥥🏝️

🐴

[kind mason]

what kind of test was it?

[granite crane]

GRUBBERFLY ELEGY

THIS ONE. MUST BE.

[kind mason]

wat?

[swift vault]

Elegy oh my never used that seriously

when you fought White Defender in your playthrough, he dealt double damage?

if no am gonna half damage of the boss dunno that is soooo bad

really every thing has a random chance to deal double damage....that does not seem like a Godsoul Gimmick

[granite crane]

No, he didn't.

[swift vault]

do you have Godseeker +?

i think you can halve the damage with that mod

[granite crane]

No, I haven't downloaded Godseeker +.

[swift vault]

well when you get to this fight get it...and it gonna be good to practice future things as well

[granite crane]

Well, can we pause the race now, because I am going to get some rest? We can continue it later or tomorrow.

[granite crane]

Alright, I will.

[swift vault]

yea this fight is pretty annoyin
rest because it goes harder and harder lol

[granite crane]

Still on Sisters of Battle, though...

[swift vault]

oh my god, be creative with your build

[dapper sandal]

I have a dry throat in school so I'm in the health room

[granite crane]

I am trying.

[swift vault]

that fight is pretty impossible without the cheese not gonna lie

[dapper sandal]

What is?

[swift vault]

God Sisters of Battle

[granite crane]

I have tried so many different builds.

OH.

[swift vault]

lol Free Soul build pal...there are only two ways to get free soul

[granite crane]

SHARP SHADOW.

[granite crane]

Oh, so it triggers right?

[swift vault]

dunno but it not seem as good even if it works

[granite crane]

Dream Nail, Grubsong, I guess?

[swift vault]

Dream nail could be an alternative

[swift vault]

again only two ways to get free soul....should not be hard to think right?

one way is not possible so only one option

[granite crane]

Kingsoul? Though, it is not available.

[swift vault]

yes that is not possible

there is another way think

[granite crane]

Dream Shield?

[swift vault]

wha-- that does not give any lol

that charm combination is so underrated

[granite crane]

Weaversong?

Alright, I will try that Charm Build, the next time we race again.

[swift vault]

okay okay okay

[granite crane]

The race is now paused. We'll continue later or tomorrow. I don't know, but I will get some rest. So yeah. It was fun racing, even though I knew that you would easily cut through the bosses. 😆

[swift vault]

i mean okay the first ones
but the more i progress the harder :D
am already stuck lol
this is also an awesome way to get better at combat, i think they are close to their modded Versiond O.O

i think this will be good at what you are trying

Soffers what was that?!

wanna Race God Hog?

[granite crane]

I agree with that statement.

[granite crane]

[swift vault]

cringed the thing you called true? LOL

[granite crane]

To be honest, shrue fits there.

[swift vault]

thoucringer not fit at all tho

[granite crane]

So why you put it there? NEVERMIND.

[swift vault]

me that was Sof

Carrot 👀
am on 2 floor

[plucky eagle]

oo nice

[granite crane]

Well, it was fun racing! And I will be back later. Bye!

[swift vault]

Bye have a good rest!

[granite crane]

Thanks, you too!

[swift vault]

Carrot ya should run as well

[plucky eagle]

i should

am in school right now tho

[swift vault]

okay good studies

[plucky eagle]

plan to kinda match the rly hard of godsoul is all bosses ascended, no charms, no spells on first floor
and then gotta beat p3, p4, p5 to get access to other bosses, and do all bosses ascended again and then finish
idk if it hard enough, probably not

[harsh gorge]

I just watched a bird try and fight its reflection

[swift vault]

well that would be reallt cool too

White Defender dealing Double damage for no reason:

[plucky eagle]

why he do that

[swift vault]

we think this is a glitch

[harsh gorge]

Does he start doing more damage as you beat him more times?

[swift vault]

yes but that is hog

he should not deal double damage

am reaching phase two and losing immediately lol

[harsh gorge]

He has to get harder

[plucky eagle]

ye i believe he can do up to 5 damage when not in hall of gods

[harsh gorge]

Otherwise it would become too easy

[harsh gorge]

Oh hell no

I aint fighting him then

1 time is enough for me

[plucky eagle]

you only need to beat him once for the achievement yea

10th fight gpz does 8 damage iirc

[swift vault]

Fluke/Strength strats not working

[harsh gorge]

https://tenor.com/view/scared-dog-shivering-dog-dog-shaking-meme-gif-26566244

[plucky eagle]

it’s not a one hit kill so is be fine

[swift vault]

how you beat Double Defender dealing Bald Double Damage Carrot?

[harsh gorge]

It means i cant use his knocked down time to heal effectivly

[plucky eagle]

idk i struggled with white defender regular

[scenic frost]

Simple: Don't heal

[swift vault]

he is easy to speekill but it is so messy

he has the power of hiding in the floor, you cannot see where he is going up ow

[harsh gorge]

But what if: i can only beat him in godhome by healing six masks and leaving on 2 damage left to heal during ummu

[plucky eagle]

then get better

[swift vault]

the phase transition is so hard to dodge, actually not even dodge....just pure RNG

[plucky eagle]

[swift vault]

i cannot do Fury Quick kill skipping phase two i GUESS....

[smoky chasm]

Just do it rad

[plucky eagle]

godsoul

[swift vault]

What do you mean LOL

[smoky chasm]

Could not be me (real)

[swift vault]

Radiant Godsoul bosses feel so horrible and Tas only kinda

[kind mason]

phew finally beat nkg on radiant man that boss is tough

[smoky chasm]

Nice

[swift vault]

oh my god True this gonna be HORRIBLE TOO X_X

double damage grimm oh no

[plucky eagle]

nkg quite fun

[kind mason]

i agree but it sure is a long fight

[plucky eagle]

double damage double gim

[smoky chasm]

Overcharmed

[plucky eagle]

radiant

no charms

nail0

[smoky chasm]

With hiveblood Joni’s blessing fury and grubsong

[kind mason]

that actually might be fun

[smoky chasm]

Not charmless

[plucky eagle]

no. no charms at all.

[kind mason]

i'll try that

[smoky chasm]

But they don’t do anything anyways

[plucky eagle]

who needs charms
they give %

[swift vault]

Joni, Hive, Grub, Fury are all awesome charms

[plucky eagle]

radiant

[smoky chasm]

Oh and heart too

[plucky eagle]

so they no do anything on radiant because no heal

[smoky chasm]

So overcharmed

[swift vault]

Radiant is Lame

[smoky chasm]

Which does nothing either

[plucky eagle]

best charms dream wielder kingsoul and gimchild because you required to get those anyways (for etv)

[kind mason]

isn't hiveblood like only useful in white palace?

[swift vault]

no in Flukemarm as well

[smoky chasm]

Even then
Imo deepfocus on top

[kind mason]

why not both?

[smoky chasm]

Deepfocus heart grubsong elegy (I mean maybe you can use hiveblood but longnail)

[swift vault]

Long nail is so pog

[smoky chasm]

Real

[plucky eagle]

nail length good longnail is fun to use tho

[smoky chasm]

Now do PoP

[kind mason]

man i cant wait to get further in hk

[swift vault]

Path of Mango...

[plucky eagle]

takes 10 minutes

[smoky chasm]

Overcharmed with longnail and MoP

[swift vault]

that is the best

Overcharm with Sharo shadow and dashmaster

[plucky eagle]

overcharmed means more charms, more charms = good = easier

and glowing womb

[kind mason]

overcharmed = death

[swift vault]

you should not get any hit in PoP then no

[plucky eagle]

there’s always soul in pop

[smoky chasm]

And put Pv at the end

[kind mason]

doesn't it double all dmg sources?

[swift vault]

PV so simple

[plucky eagle]

yes but there’s always soul in pop

[swift vault]

God PoP is kinda punishing tho

[plucky eagle]

true

[smoky chasm]

But I can’t rad it with this build bc of skill issue dash charms

[swift vault]

am gonna do Dashless PoP i guess but that would be too easy

[plucky eagle]

is clawless pop possible ?

[swift vault]

yes

[plucky eagle]

neat

[swift vault]

already did with the very good tech called Shrogo

Dashless should be also possible with Shrogo

but wingless is somethin else

[smoky chasm]

jumpless

Go tas low% with minimal pogos

[peak token]

serius question how does the knight blink is they have a rock solid skull

[molten moat]

Does it blink?

[peak token]

i mean it kinda close they eyes in a bench

sorry im not good with inglish

[sour atlas]

I don't know if it does

Does it

[wooden matrix]

it looks down it doesnt blink

[sour atlas]

Like he is dozing off

[scenic frost]

It doesn't

It just looks down

[peak token]

ok

[wooden matrix]

more like boredom/thinking

no mind to think though so im not sure

[swift vault]

White Defender is possible with Godseeker +

[smoky chasm]

What made it not before?

[swift vault]

the double damage that probably is a glitch

[smoky chasm]

On first attempt?

[swift vault]

yea that was the only thing stopping

[smoky chasm]

Oh ic

[swift vault]

there are so many Watchers
they are really easy though

[limber valve]

guys i'm cool now look

[wooden matrix]

ill consider u cool when u do absrad radiant

[limber valve]

am i at least semi-cool

[smoky chasm]

you just got the most useful charm in the game from grubfather

[limber valve]

isn't it only good if you're good at the game

because if you're good at the game you don't get hit

[smoky chasm]

i mean it has some use in radiant

[limber valve]

wait

GRUBFATHER ATE THE GRUBS

[smoky chasm]

[sour atlas]

[sour atlas]

It doesnt have good use in radiant also

[plucky eagle]

how many..?

[sour atlas]

20 at least

[plucky eagle]

20?!!

WHAT.
HUH.

that’s scary

[burnt heath]

Everwatchers?

[swift vault]

it is so easy tho

Ddark them, it is infinite soul basically lol

Sof thinks Godsoul is cringe....yea kinda perhaps

[swift vault]

i think this answers your question

a lot of them

[ashen wadi]

Just Ddark smh

[swift vault]

yes that is what i said up there this is easy

[plucky eagle]

AAA

[swift vault]

🥭

[sour atlas]

How many are there

[plucky eagle]

that’s too many..

[swift vault]

dunno it is like three copies or four each lol

[ashen wadi]

Looks like 9 at least

[swift vault]

i killed some already lol

[plucky eagle]

and they all attack at once ..?

[swift vault]

they do not spawn at once it is like the normal fight....if you kill three clones all of them will come tho

[plucky eagle]

that’s like 5 of them at once there

[sour atlas]

That looks so hard

[swift vault]

it is not hard even with Ddark nerfed

[plucky eagle]

5 of them separately was hard enough

[swift vault]

what?

[plucky eagle]

hours spent

[swift vault]

it is not low gear...it is okay

[sour atlas]

Do it without spells

[plucky eagle]

it’d be silly to do them low% gear tho

[swift vault]

i think without Ddark is doable but it is silly

in theory Dive would be enough as well
or the iframes are less?

[plucky eagle]

idk it feels the same to me

[swift vault]

if you get good it is doable then

[ashen wadi]

I think they’re the same but I could be wrong

[plucky eagle]

get good and just pogo

[swift vault]

with five masks that would be a bit more than that

[ashen wadi]

Pogo is boring slamming shit into the ground with magic is fun

[plucky eagle]

but it’s an extra %

[swift vault]

Pogo to get soul

[ashen wadi]

…
Acceptable compromise

[brave blaze]

guys

[swift vault]

the rest of Hog feels real hard...

[brave blaze]

Is this real?

[plucky eagle]

sillson

[swift vault]

yes it is real it gonna come out eventually

[plucky eagle]

silksong will be here someday

[sour atlas]

It's silksong

[plucky eagle]

true

[swift vault]

am afraid when it releases not gonna lie

[sour atlas]

I dont know anymore

It looks like it will never come out

[swift vault]

do not know if i will record when it comes out or wait

[plucky eagle]

i’ll get silksong when i can once it comes out

[sour atlas]

if it comes out

[plucky eagle]

no, when.

it will come out eventually, then it of be cool

[swift vault]

will i already be "good" when Silksong releases?

it is a similar game i guess

[sour atlas]

Even GTA 6 could release before Silksong

[ashen wadi]

Sprint and upgraded pogo, as well as the different movesets, are different enough that stuff won’t necessarily translate perfectly

[swift vault]

oh my...it is modded Hollow knight
might be fun then

[midnight oasis]

Plus new spells and tools

[swift vault]

spells?!

[midnight oasis]

The silk meter isn't for healing only

[sour atlas]

Hornet doesnt use soul though...

[ashen wadi]

Her silk is infused with it

[midnight oasis]

Hence why I said "silk meter" rather than "soul meter"

[swift vault]

interesting

[ashen wadi]

Silk spear is probably fairly mechanically similar to vs and the I frame dash is like sharp shadow (but maybe useful now)

[swift vault]

dashes need this oh no

[ashen wadi]

Normal dash doesn’t

[midnight oasis]

Though silk spear looks much cooler than vs

[swift vault]

dash Horizontaly only?

[ashen wadi]

Yes

[swift vault]

am gonna miss the charms not gonna deny it

they are so powerful

[ashen wadi]

Tools exist and can potentially be actually balanced

[swift vault]

hopefully those tools will be nice to use

this will be an upgrade or bye bye?

[ashen wadi]

tbh I wouldn’t miss it

Just standing there and slapping a boss looks like the least enjoyable way to play ss

[swift vault]

it is how it is 😆

am curious about the speedrunning knowledge and how different it will be
i will definetly have to learn it

[sour atlas]

The speedrunning will be cool

The different crest systems and which one will be best

The best movement also. hornet has a lot of move options

[vagrant reef]

🥔

[sour atlas]

🥔

[delicate sigil]

Imagine Hornet.

But she isn't agile at all.

[vagrant reef]

That’s hornet 1

[delicate sigil]

... Fair point.

[limber valve]

what happened to quirrel at the blue lake /genq

[sour atlas]

I think he drowned

[limber valve]

did he like fall in or something

[sour atlas]

Yes

[vagrant reef]

No he left hollownest and went to silksong

[brave blaze]

He ded

[sour atlas]

He was very old and tripped and stubbed his toe on a rock and lost his balance and drowned

[limber valve]

but why is his nail planted in the ground

[brave blaze]

Tbf, not like he needs it considering hes yknow, dead

[limber valve]

tbh true

[marsh whale]

Goodmorning

[ashen wadi]

He says that the dead shouldn’t be burdened by weapons, and he leaves his weapon behind when he dies

[limber valve]

neato

[icy bolt]

This is...calming

[lament estuary]

Why is nighmare king grimm so hard bro, i land max 5 hits😭

[icy bolt]

Patience, child, patience

The Grimm fight is a dance and you must follow it's moves

[vagrant reef]

Yummy

[limber valve]

nyquil chicken

nyquicken

[lament estuary]

Bro i just wanna get over with him, 4 hours of mt life wated💀😭

[icy bolt]

Don't worry, you will beat him

Just be patient, learn attack patterns

[lament estuary]

Bro

I did
But my eyes cant track

[icy bolt]

NKG is just like regular Grimm, but a bit faster

[lament estuary]

I cant focus on multiple things at the time

To much for me to process

[torpid oar]

Hello

[icy bolt]

Okay I was trying to be nice and all

[icy bolt]

But that is a skill issue

[torpid oar]

NKG is very spiky

He likes to hit you lots

[lament estuary]

Wasnt enough he was fast he meeds to do 2x damage aswell

[torpid oar]

I like the Grimm 1 cause he is tuned perfectly to the move speed

[lament estuary]

Bro i just want 112

🥲

[icy bolt]

You can just skip the whole fight

[knotty valve]

You don't need NKG for 112

[icy bolt]

By choosing brumm and get your percent

[torpid oar]

I did that by accident

I didn’t fight him until the pantheon

[icy bolt]

Wait

NKG only appears in P5 right?

I mean in pantheons

[torpid oar]

Idk I never got there. I fought him in the practice zone

Grimm 1 is my favorite boss

[brave blaze]

Yes

[torpid oar]

Least favorite is flukemarm

What’s your middle favorite

[sour atlas]

So a mediocre boss

[knotty valve]

I find pure vessel to be pretty mid

At top we have mossy boi

[sour atlas]

Moss charger

[knotty valve]

And at the bottom is grimm because I hate all the easy fights

[sour atlas]

That looks great

[limber valve]

i hate delicate flower

[smoky chasm]

It happened irl

[fringe totem]

mario looks so goofy in the new mario game

[forest thorn]

My Hollow Knight Nendroids just came in. They're beautiful.

Makes me wish Silksong was actually real though 😭

[vagrant reef]

The real silk song was the friends we made along the way

[ashen wadi]

damn they got hornet's eyes wrong 😔

[sour atlas]

I loved it when mario said its brinstaring time and brinstared all over the place

[forest thorn]

Hmm now that you mention it they did, didn't they? They're not as narrow in these.

Oh well, I still think they look pretty cool overall though.

[midnight oasis]

Vessels all have inset eyes

[ashen wadi]

[alpine wave]

Cool ig

I’m very tired

[sour atlas]

Sleep then

[alpine wave]

It’s 6 pm

If I go to bed rn I won’t be able to sleep later

[vagrant reef]

Sleep and don’t wake up until the next day then

[eager wing]

what does the nail binding do

i can still swing my nail

[sour atlas]

It decreases your nail damage

[eager wing]

oh that's way less bad then i thought

[harsh gorge]

It sets it to one nail damage

1/5 of what the base nail does

[limber valve]

i have performed the forbidden strategy

[alpine wave]

LIAR!

It goes down by 40%

@eager wing

[harsh gorge]

Thats what my friend told me it does

[alpine wave]

Kill him..

Kill him now..

[harsh gorge]

Burn, stake

[scenic frost]

What do y'all think about the double bosses in Hollow Knight. Like the bosses that have two enemies instead of one.
