happy new saturday

[chilly timber]

WHAT THE SIGMA

my fault caps

i m gna replay this summer forsure inbetween elden ring dlc

[gentle haven]

Got the Killer Whale skin just for this (It was worth it)

[lost tulip]

what triggers the forgotten crossroads to become infected

[gentle haven]

Monarch wings/Dreamers

[lost tulip]

i thought it was killing one of the dreamers

[lost tulip]

oh so thats why

[gentle haven]

best to ask those sort of questions in #hk-help btw

[lost tulip]

k

[frank merlin]

hello chat

anybody have any charm builds i can use for p4?

[plucky eagle]

my usual build is shamans, strength, qs, dream wielder, steady body

[frank merlin]

what about sharp shadow

[plucky eagle]

sharp shadow isn’t that great tbh
but if you wanna use it go ahead ?

[lost tulip]

its good on some bosses

[frank merlin]

especially traitor lord

[junior ocean]

its useless for traitor lord i think

[frigid island]

Equipping ss kills you

irl

[frank merlin]

which ss

shaman stone or sharp shadow

[frigid island]

🤯

Yes

[frank merlin]

no honestly which one

[frigid island]

Shaman stone ofc

[frank merlin]

oh sure

[scarlet tartan]

Curious what’s everyone’s go to load out with charms?

[frank merlin]

weaversong and glowing womb

also grimmchild and dreamshiel

[plucky eagle]

none
(or shamans strength qs dw sb)

[frank merlin]

jk i actually js use a generic nail build consisting ub strength, quickslash, mop/shaman stone for the spells

[frank merlin]

i don't understand what any of those say

[plucky eagle]

fragile/unbreakable strength, shaman stone, quickslash, dream wielder, steady body

[frank merlin]

oh ok thx

[plucky eagle]

yw

or i do none lol
probably use that build more than my actual one

[frank merlin]

lol

[scarlet tartan]

That’s cool currently I use unbreakable strength and heart, carefree melody and the long nail
Though I normally swap out the two notches for long nail with spore shroom and grub song or the weaver charm

[frank merlin]

try taking out spore shroom and weavers to replace with either shaman stone or quickslash

also how many notches do you have btw?

[scarlet tartan]

All of them

[frank merlin]

i see

[scarlet tartan]

Yeah I figured the extra reach would help with super zote lol

I dunno I’m trouble shooting he’s a pain

[frank merlin]

fr

so switch out heart and carefree melody for mark of pride and steady body, take out longnail as you already have extended range and replace with quick slash, then put on nailmasters glory and try to get used to nail arts if you haven't, as that will make fights go quite fast

[dusty shoal]

tbh just use fragile heart instead of cm

cm blocks like 2/9 hits, fragile heart costs one less notch and gives you those two extra masks

[frank merlin]

carefree is two isnt it?

[dusty shoal]

obviously carefree melody if you're doing a double damage boss or ascended

[dusty shoal]

3 notches

[frank merlin]

oh

[scarlet tartan]

I have both equipped atm

[dusty shoal]

5 notches is too many, just unequip cm

[dusty shoal]

or radiant too

too risky for radiant though unless you have no other ideas and overcharm

since yk, first try it only has a 25/99 chance to succeed

and you only get one try with radiant

[drifting cliff]

Melody finds a lot more use in long runs instead of high damage runs

[scarlet tartan]

No just trying to beat this pantheon

So what would you recommend I swap it out for?

[dusty shoal]

which

[frank merlin]

which pantheon

[scarlet tartan]

Sage I think

Lemme double check

[dusty shoal]

thats 3 right?

[scarlet tartan]

Yeah

[frank merlin]

ok three

[scarlet tartan]

He’s the only trouble I’m having

[frank merlin]

what boss are you struggling on

[dusty shoal]

hardest p3 boss is hornet 2

[frank merlin]

for me it was god tamer, laugh all you want

[scarlet tartan]

Well I havnt got to her yet is she really that different than before?

I won’t I get impatient with god tamer

[dusty shoal]

understandable but i kill him instantly with fotf/ub/qs

[frank merlin]

yes, faster attacks

[scarlet tartan]

Noted thankyou

[drifting cliff]

Hornet 2 is still the same Hornet 2 you fight in overworld so like

[scarlet tartan]

Oh okay so much of the same

[dusty shoal]

exactly the same just a little more health

[frank merlin]

wait wdym? compared to hornet 1?

[scarlet tartan]

So really I just need to nail sore and then I should have this one I almost one shot the first two lol

[dusty shoal]

compared to ow hornet 2

[frank merlin]

oh no changes

[dusty shoal]

no, a little more health pretty sure

nvm,

[drifting cliff]

Most bosses have more HP in Godhome to adjust for scaling

[dusty shoal]

thats for p5, since it uses ascended

[drifting cliff]

You can check the values on the wiki

P5 uses ascended arenas but attuned HP

VKing is the only exception. One has attuned HP, the other has asc HP

[dusty shoal]

attuned mask damage ascended boss health no?

[drifting cliff]

Attuned boss HP

[dusty shoal]

interesting

so yeah then hornet 2 a little more hp

@scarlet tartan what boss are you struggling on?

god tamer?

[scarlet tartan]

Grey prince zote

[dusty shoal]

gpz is p3?

[frank merlin]

yes

after galien

[dusty shoal]

thought he was p4, anyway, i dont have a lot of experience with him but i found him very easy, i use qs ub strength for him and he goes down really quickly

i dont even need to dodge for him

he does like 4 masks by the time i kill him

you could play it more safe and dodge and shade dash more if you're low

[scarlet tartan]

Alright I’ll give that a shot ty ❤️

[drifting cliff]

If you're trying tank strats you may as well throw on stalwart

[dusty shoal]

yeah, good idea, i never used it though but it would significantly lower damage recieved

[scarlet tartan]

Alright let’s try this again really glad that they have the training area lol

For real though the collector has the coolest sound track imo

[frank merlin]

aren't you that one guy who said stalwart was trash tho?

[dusty shoal]

i used quick slash, strength, fotf, steady body for all of p5 until failed champion, where i equipped quick slash, strength, sharp shadow, shape of unn, grubsong (nkg charm build)

[frank merlin]

what about sealed vessel

[dusty shoal]

after nkg i put on quick slash, strength, quick focus, shape of unn

shape of unn for abs rad healing

• quick focus

[scarlet tartan]

That one is really cool too!

[frank merlin]

nkg's in p5

[dusty shoal]

longnail instead of shape of unn can work if you struggle with pv

[dusty shoal]

i know, just saying my charm build for p5

[junior ocean]

u can consistently heal without unn 😔

[frank merlin]

ok

slug in tub

[junior ocean]

i eat slugs in tubs

[dusty shoal]

more chances to heal though

[drifting cliff]

Are you citing something I said like 2 years ago or something

[frank merlin]

i am a slug in a tub

[frank merlin]

yes

[junior ocean]

the chances are pretty much the same tbh

[scarlet tartan]

Quick slash is doing good so far first win gonna try another time or two before I dip into the pantheon again thankyou!!

[junior ocean]

without any charms u can heal on every burst attack, every beam wall, most sword walls, and every sword rain

basically 1-2 healing opportunities per attack

[dusty shoal]

i dont think im that skilled yet

[junior ocean]

it isnt rly skill. just start healing on the last wave of the attack

[frank merlin]

or just heal 2 times on stagger

[dusty shoal]

stagger?

[drifting cliff]

Generally I feel like QF is the most useful survival charm

[dusty shoal]

much better than deep focus imo

faster than deep focus, only use for it is that deep focus uses less soul

[junior ocean]

u can heal 6 times

[frank merlin]

so it's when you get to one of the boss's other phases, they stop moving for a while to give you a moment to get a dream nail, heal, nail art or spell, basically the boss is weakened for a second

[frank merlin]

with qf?

[dusty shoal]

i know what stagger is

[drifting cliff]

You can heal 6 times w/o QF

[dusty shoal]

we're talking abt absrad

[drifting cliff]

I wouldn't recommend doing that though

[frank merlin]

ohhh

[opal acorn]

maybe i’m completely wrong cuz i don’t talk here much but this server lowkey seems like it has a good community

[junior ocean]

without any charms

[drifting cliff]

Don't worry it doesn't

[frank merlin]

ding ding ding ding ding

[dusty shoal]

i just joined like, this morning

[junior ocean]

u can heal like 8 times but u wouldnt have the soul to do so

[drifting cliff]

You also usually want to keep one soul charge active unless you know what you're doing

[dusty shoal]

yeah the second phase doesnt start until you go up the platforms

[frank merlin]

we don't talk about the other side of it

[junior ocean]

it starts with or without u

the void will rise after a certain amount of time

[dusty shoal]

does it?

oh

[dusty shoal]

what are you missing for 112% btw?

[frank merlin]

p4

[dusty shoal]

really?

[frank merlin]

yes

[dusty shoal]

with all the advice ur giving i would have assumed you could do p4 already

what's killing you

[frank merlin]

hm you think

[frank merlin]

just pure vessel

[dusty shoal]

same with any other boss, just learn the attack pattern and your instincts will catch up

[frank merlin]

such simple advice yet so useful

[dusty shoal]

i had never fought nkg or pure vessel before (not counting the one time i beat nkg when the dlc came out, since tht was so long ago i had forgotten his pattern (and only beat him once, not practiced)) and i was able to consistantly beat ascended 3 times in a row in the same day for both

granted it took hours but still, same day

[drifting cliff]

That's crazy #hk-discussion message

[frank merlin]

damn even i can't beat nkg on attuned

what the fuck i'm right

[dusty shoal]

just keep practicing

use this charm build

quick slash, strength, sharp shadow, shape of unn, grubsong

[frank merlin]

istg one time we were talking about if sharp shadow was good or bad and then this dude started ranting about how hollow knight is bad but only likes the art and music

[dusty shoal]

will i get muted if i post a large body of text?

[frank merlin]

idk, try

[drifting cliff]

If it's relevant, no

[dusty shoal]

ill post advice i gave someone on reddit just recently

[drifting cliff]

She was right

[dusty shoal]

on how to beat NKG

[frank merlin]

how long is it

[junior ocean]

reddit

[drifting cliff]

If it's on reddit why not just link it

[frank merlin]

who's she?

[dusty shoal]

not sure if links r allowed

[drifting cliff]

The person who was saying HK is bad

They're allowed

[frank merlin]

guys hear me out but

[dusty shoal]

https://www.reddit.com/r/HollowKnight/comments/1ct0voa/comment/l4cg815/?utm_source=share&utm_medium=web3x&utm_name=web3xcss&utm_term=1&utm_content=share_button

[frank merlin]

HOW DOES IT ONLY HAVE ONE UPVOTE WTF

[dusty shoal]

cause reddit makes you auto upvote your own comment

[frank merlin]

no i mean it deserves more

[scarlet tartan]

Wish me luck here I go with zote lol

[dusty shoal]

probably cause the post wasnt very active ig

[frank merlin]

gl

[dusty shoal]

on p3?

[scarlet tartan]

Yep

[dusty shoal]

good luck

[scarlet tartan]

With qs and stalwart he really was trivial I forgot about the jellyfish side note I adore jelly fish

[frank merlin]

like uumuu?

[junior ocean]

jelly fish evil

[scarlet tartan]

Yeah all done though

[frank merlin]

all of p3?

[scarlet tartan]

No the uumuu

[frank merlin]

oh

[scarlet tartan]

Forgot how quick it was hornet kicked my ass wow she is fast I’ll try and make sure I keep more health for her

But that’s progress I can work with!

[unique quiver]

is there a specific reason why pronouns are so promenent in this server?

[atomic hound]

what does prominent mean?

[steel wyvern]

another word for major

[burnt heath]

Well we added the pronound roles before discord added a pronoun section into everyones profile so, but i wouldnt say theyre "so prominent"

Literally just the roles lmao so idk

[steel wyvern]

i like them so that way i can see from a glance what someone's pronouns are

[unique quiver]

i was just comparing it to other servers which dont have anything of the sort, sorry for overtalking it if it i seemed i was doing so

[junior ocean]

99% of servers have pronouns roles

[atomic hound]

ohhh!
i don’t think they are very prominent, its just a conviniance to have them next to your name for others

[junior ocean]

almost every server will have them

[unique quiver]

not from what ive seen

[junior ocean]

ur in L servers then iirc

[atomic hound]

L servers?

[junior ocean]

yes

[atomic hound]

what are those

[junior ocean]

bad servers

evil servers

probably smaller/sub servers usually. they tend to not have pronoun roles

[atomic hound]

ohhh

okay

[unique quiver]

didnt know youy had a vendetta against terraria, hypixel skyblock, mario kart 8, deep rock galactic and goat simulator.

and hollow knight ofc

[drifting cliff]

Losing servers 😔

[unique quiver]

actually the hk modding server doesnt have pronoun roles either

[junior ocean]

i do

[drifting cliff]

This is because HK is a bad game

[junior ocean]

its a small server and that server is evil

[unique quiver]

https://tenor.com/view/hollow-knight-the-knight-dance-break-dance-spin-gif-26042207

[atomic hound]

me when i fight NKG

[unique quiver]

so your also not going to talk about these servers with their "small" size and "evil" staff

[junior ocean]

i have said everything i need to

[unique quiver]

cool

[junior ocean]

they are evil and mid

[steel wyvern]

small servers are lame

[atomic hound]

i think that any server that doesn’t have lesbian characters are evil

[unique quiver]

characters this aint an mmorpg

[steel wyvern]

see this is how you know hollow knight is one of the best games ever

[atomic hound]

YES

[unique quiver]

wait but non of the servers i listed were small

[drifting cliff]

Extremely loud incorrect buzzer...

[unique quiver]

how many people are even in this server

[steel wyvern]

i will glaze hollow knight until i die

[unique quiver]

i will glaze to hollow knight until i die

[atomic hound]

i want to clarify that, at least im pretty sure, this person were joking when they said the servers were “evil”

[unique quiver]

nah wait really

[drifting cliff]

How pitiful to die defending mid

[unique quiver]

the mogus has been captured

[junior ocean]

yes they are

[unique quiver]

like 14k members small

[junior ocean]

u should join anikacord!!

[hazy loom]

Tf is an anika

[atomic hound]

also i headcannon that hornet is lesbian

[unique quiver]

hornet is not anything

[junior ocean]

nothing points to that being true

[unique quiver]

just ghost

[junior ocean]

however if u want to believe that u can ig

[frigid island]

Horner's lace kiss end credits scene

[atomic hound]

its my head cannon 😭

[junior ocean]

iirc

[unique quiver]

me rn

[unique quiver]

dead 💀

[hazy loom]

Hornet is canonically a ||[REDACTED]||

[junior ocean]

mb

[steel wyvern]

hornet is half wyrm half wtf where legs

[unique quiver]

hornet is also half |beast|

[hazy loom]

Hornet is a hypebeast youtuber

[atomic hound]

also guys, question
what instruments do you think the HK charcters would play?

[steel wyvern]

white lady would play the harp

im adding that to my headcannons list thats too good

[atomic hound]

my parsonal thoughts are so far
hornet: violin
quirell: saxophone
pure vessel: electric guitar
salubra: voice

[atomic hound]

i agree!

[hazy loom]

Hornet seems like a clarinet player

[atomic hound]

interesting!

grimm is think would play the organ

[steel wyvern]

zote would say that they play all instruments and fail miserably

[atomic hound]

lol true

[hazy loom]

Grimm = Happy Mask Salesman

[atomic hound]

also true

tiso would i think play the oboe? or clarinet

[hazy loom]

Nah Tiso is hard trumpet

[atomic hound]

ohhh

[hazy loom]

Massive ego

[atomic hound]

yeah!

i dont remember how much ego tiso had

[hazy loom]

Not Zote big but still pretty big

[atomic hound]

cloth would play drums

[steel wyvern]

zote plays tuba

[hazy loom]

Zote I think would be a drummer but can't hold any rhythm and is garbo

[atomic hound]

oh ture!

[hazy loom]

Okay Zote tuba makes sense I think

[atomic hound]

ye

[hazy loom]

No matter what he sucks at the instrument tho and can't actually play

[atomic hound]

the knight would probably play the triangle or maracas

[steel wyvern]

the knight is a heavy metal drummer

[atomic hound]

that too

what about the pale king?
maybe piano

[hazy loom]

The pale king plays nothing because he's ded

[atomic hound]

lol

[hazy loom]

Unn plays triangle tho

[steel wyvern]

i feel like he wouldnt play anything because he's too buisy

[steel wyvern]

no unn is the dedicated person to hit a gong

[atomic hound]

i feel like unn would play the flute

[hazy loom]

I forgot the gong exists I failed as a percussionist

[atomic hound]

[hazy loom]

I'd agree if Unn had arms to play it

[steel wyvern]

remember they're not just the skrunkly they killed god

well the old god of gods

[hazy loom]

I think the Knight would play banjo or smth

[steel wyvern]

worst take i've seen in a while

[atomic hound]

lol true

banjo would fit imo

[steel wyvern]

a lot of characters in hollow knight would not play instruments

[hazy loom]

How many instruments have we even seen in the game

[steel wyvern]

no idea ask anika

[junior ocean]

2

[hazy loom]

Cloth's club is a horn type thing right maybe?

[atomic hound]

mantis lords would all play cello and make a trio

[hazy loom]

Like a ram's horn from the vikings

That's my impression anyways

[steel wyvern]

elaborate?

[hazy loom]

I think there's a piano somewhere

[atomic hound]

what could cornifer play?

[hazy loom]

I think cornifer would play harmonica

[atomic hound]

based

[junior ocean]

nymm and marissa both play an instrument and theres speakers

[atomic hound]

and what about sly?

[hazy loom]

I thought Marissa just sang

[atomic hound]

whos nymm?

[hazy loom]

Sly is a bass player ez

[junior ocean]

singing is an instrument

[atomic hound]

fits!

[steel wyvern]

cornifer sings

[atomic hound]

ohhh true!

[junior ocean]

hes bad at it so i didnt include it

[atomic hound]

ok the nailmaster bros

[junior ocean]

same for the grubs

[acoustic summit]

Nah cornifer 100% harmonica

[junior ocean]

the weavers also had music

[acoustic summit]

Grubs can be the choir

[hazy loom]

Was not aware that a voice counted as an instrument

[atomic hound]

that would be glorious!

[steel wyvern]

instrument of torture

[acoustic summit]

Wouldn't it?

[atomic hound]

yeah!
now i need grub choir music

[steel wyvern]

i think the grimmkin would be a better choir, i've headcannoned them to be the choir in nightmare king and the grimm troupe for a while

[sterile plover]

Charm: Weaversong

Silken charm containing a song of farewell, left by the Weavers who departed Hallownest for their old home.

Summons weaverlings to give the lonely bearer some companionship and protection.

@anikacy used /charms category: L-W charm: Weaversong

[hazy loom]

The grubs played the boomwhackers all at different pitches to make one cohesive instrument

[atomic hound]

i hope they dont sound like grimm 😭

[steel wyvern]

oooh boy cant wait for silksong to clarify wtf this means

[atomic hound]

who else is there?

elderbug

[steel wyvern]

brumm and nymn play accordian

[atomic hound]

tru

[steel wyvern]

am i trippin i thought anika played an instrument

[atomic hound]

who is that?

what instrument would elderbug play?

[junior ocean]

she does

[glass bolt]

elderbug the type of guy to play the trumpet

[atomic hound]

cool!

[hazy loom]

Nah he's not egotistical enough

I think he'd def be a more low key instrument like a baritone or a trombone

Maybe a French horn?

[glass bolt]

yea but think about the comical potential of elderbug playing the trumpet

[atomic hound]

makes sense

[frank merlin]

normal day in the hall of gods

[glass bolt]

the godseekers were left speechless as the knight dressed up as grimm obliterated 233 zotes

with his army

[junior ocean]

elderbug?!

[frank merlin]

no one can stop my army of weavers

[hazy loom]

Is he egotistical? I know he's racist or smth

[glass bolt]

weaversong is such a weird harm tbh

[hazy loom]

Man just wants peace and a quiet life I know that

[junior ocean]

he is xenophobic

[frank merlin]

we all know that

elderbug being a racist?

[junior ocean]

no

[hazy loom]

Weaversong more like beaversong

[glass bolt]

if he really was he would hate the knight

[frank merlin]

believersong

[atomic hound]

what about myla and bretta? bretta i think viola and myla xylophone

[junior ocean]

[frank merlin]

what

[glass bolt]

bretta probably the flute

[atomic hound]

we are talking about what instruments characters would play

[atomic hound]

makes sense!

[frank merlin]

oh i think nymm would play a piano honestly

[atomic hound]

who is nymm?

[hazy loom]

The dude that you free from Grimm troupe if you banish them

[atomic hound]

ohhh!
doesnt he play accordion?

[hazy loom]

Yup

[frank merlin]

yeah but hear me out

[atomic hound]

ok makes sense

grey mourner i think would play flute and violin

[hazy loom]

I'm waiting

[frank merlin]

idk abt the flute honestly

[glass bolt]

grimm def plays the drums

[hazy loom]

Grimm does not play drums at all

[frank merlin]

no grimm plays the guitar

[hazy loom]

He plays the organ

[frank merlin]

electric too

[glass bolt]

yea youre both right tbh

[atomic hound]

i agree with that on grimm

[glass bolt]

menderbug plays the triangle

[frank merlin]

also ever wonder why grimm looks like stolas

[hazy loom]

Grimm is too creepy and gentlemanly to play guitar

[steel wyvern]

soul tyrant plays the organ

[steel wyvern]

grimm predates stolace by several years

[atomic hound]

SAME

[steel wyvern]

if anything why does stolace look like grimm

[frank merlin]

yes sorry that's what i meant

[hazy loom]

Who's stolace

[frank merlin]

some gay owl

[hazy loom]

Huh???

[frank merlin]

he's from a show called helluva boss

[glass bolt]

PK plays the piano probably

[atomic hound]

also lets not forget about precious jiji
i think he’d play xylophone?

[glass bolt]

jiji is a girl

[hazy loom]

Jiji seems like a lute player

[atomic hound]

sorry

[atomic hound]

whats a lute?

[frank merlin]

the vessel piano

[atomic hound]

i was thinking either that or an electric rock guitar

[atomic hound]

ohh yes!

[glass bolt]

he would play the piano so well that he would leave the white lady amazed every single time

[frank merlin]

or anything made out of failed vessels really

[atomic hound]

pfff

[glass bolt]

the godseekers definitely sing

like opera singing

[atomic hound]

ye for sure

[frank merlin]

choir

[glass bolt]

yea that

[atomic hound]

i think more like chanting, or a choir
salubra feels more opera

[hazy loom]

The godseekers are like the Japanese government during the Edo period where they just kinda steal a large chunk of performers for private shows but don't actually do anything themselves

Or was that Meiji

I think it was Meiji actually

My point still stands

[frank merlin]

who's meiji

[glass bolt]

hornet definitely plays the harp like cmon now

[hazy loom]

The Meiji period of Japan 💀

[glass bolt]

who's japan?

[steel wyvern]

who's hollow knight

[glass bolt]

who's neatwheat?

[frank merlin]

[frank merlin]

idk who who is a one piece character is

[steel wyvern]

yisrael is in onepiece

[dull oracle]

[dull oracle]

Its white beard/ Edward newgate

[atomic hound]

[atomic hound]

getting out of bed is harder than beating abs rad

[atomic hound]

its ok, i dont judge preferences

[frank merlin]

moss charger is harder than both

[atomic hound]

yeah

[frank merlin]

that's not embarassing at all tbh

[frank merlin]

but gruz mother on radiant is harder
and believe me, i've been there

[steel wyvern]

https://youtu.be/NIqm73xsias?si=QdwIuD2ed1Qcs-K5

[frank merlin]

wait why was the other cover weird?

[steel wyvern]

revealing outfit of a girl

[frank merlin]

[frank merlin]

charm changer is insane

[glass bolt]

radiant hornet 2 plus all first column of radiants

[last bison]

all radiant except for fking abs rad :( plz halp

[hazy loom]

I think absrad took me about 8 hours nonstop grinding to get

Pulled an all nighter cuz I was pissed about smth and needed to get my mind off it

[acoustic summit]

There should be a separate radiant flexing channel

[ruby rampart]

Just keep on going, it’s meant to be hard and tedious if you end up getting angry over it take a break for a while

[last bison]

real

[last bison]

alr ty

[last bison]

gl with the zote loading screen lmmao

[jaunty nacelle]

Average Roblox ban

[meager knot]

Is there achievement for beating all bosses on radiant

[jaunty nacelle]

I find it funny Roblox bans ban people for shit like this yet their is 10 times worse things one Roblox then any other platform

[jaunty nacelle]

No

I'm about to play botw before my parents get up

[charred geode]

it was

it truly was

[gleaming mason]

guys

i know this isnt related to hollow knight

but i just wanted to say

i finally p ranked all of the seven layers in ultrakill

[charred geode]

ur a god gamoer

i was never good at ultrakill tbh

most i got was 3rd bossfight

or smth like that

[gleaming mason]

violence layer was the hardest

guttertanks most annoying things ever

[swift lance]

Or am I not allowed to say this

[molten moat]

[swift lance]

Ok

Sorry

[molten moat]

[delicate badge]

zote

[steep sorrel]

oh

[remote estuary]

Why I was warned 😭😭😭

[delicate badge]

hm?

[remote estuary]

I was warned but it's strange

[delicate badge]

ohh yeah

[remote estuary]

I just did the same thing that other

[delicate badge]

the one in #hk-meme ?

[remote estuary]

Yes

Why I was warned for that

I'm not the first who did it

[wheat field]

You were warned in order for you to stop doing that

[remote estuary]

Why me

[wheat field]

Other times mods just didn't see or let it slide

Not only you i belive

[remote estuary]

This meme turn since 2 weeks

[wheat field]

Well that is likely why mods want it to stop

[remote estuary]

Why me 😭😂

[wheat field]

Because you reposted it

[remote estuary]

Bruh

Like 15 persons

[wheat field]

As i said,they may have been warned as well

[remote estuary]

I have to go, bye

[lost tulip]

why am i dying to elder hu 😭

[brave blaze]

thats insane

just run

[lost tulip]

well, to be fair

im using a lvl 1 nail and no shade cloak

[dull oracle]

The ghost bosses get more hp ever nail upgrade so you made it easier for your self

[charred geode]

i have 5 achievements left

and for some reason one of them is letting zote to die

[pastel oracle]

yep

[charred geode]

then killing nailsmith

then getting hunter's mark

and lastly, the 2 steel soul achievements

[pastel oracle]

yeah just do all that in ss

[charred geode]

all but hunter's mark

im almost there in my normal save

[pastel oracle]

yeah

[celest ether]

is there a place on this server one could post a hk copypasta

[indigo herald]

LOL

[sour vessel]

memes, maybe? idk

[midnight oasis]

not HK copypastas

[lost tulip]

i was fighting soul tirant and they just teleported inside of me when i dashed 😭

[acoustic summit]

Lol

[main bough]

I can’t wait to start something Hollow Knight related in art when time allows it.

[lost tulip]

i beat it
poggers boss

if you learn how to deal with each attack its very fun
though i played very safe so the fight took ages

[neon falcon]

guys theres a hollow knight reference in my singing monsters now

theres a costume called shape of umm

[tardy badger]

can someone give me the list of his favorite indie games ?

[wild flax]

Manifold Garden and Chants of Senaar are two stellar ones I've played

[acoustic summit]

a rondom thought just crossed my mind

wheres the grim child in stag travel animations

just the knight

[pastel oracle]

the answer: budget and time and effort

[acoustic summit]

nah

team cherry doesn't do that

did you forget ss still isn't out?

they add features no matter how much time and effort it takes

[pastel oracle]

i’m saying they’re not bothered to animate small things like that in a quick 5 second transition

[charred geode]

uh

[pastel oracle]

erm what the radhog

[charred geode]

is it good or smth

[pastel oracle]

yes, but now your final challenge is all pantheons on all bindings if you’re up for that

[charred geode]

ohhh i was supposed to do that AFTER every boss radiant?

[acoustic summit]

is it just me or do you too have an urge to pogo bosses like grimm when they're doing melee and lose masks when they jump?

[pastel oracle]

did you do all pantheons all bindings? if so wp

[charred geode]

everyone does i think

[acoustic summit]

I just like to get on top of enemies ig

[charred geode]

yeah

[acoustic summit]

i think that pogoing just feels exeptionally juicy

[pastel oracle]

no it doesn’t matter which you do first, it’s just when i did it I found radhog way easier to do

[charred geode]

got hit a lot of times by thk the first time i tried it bc of that

[charred geode]

yeah ur right ig

i also got this for style points

[acoustic summit]

grim phase 2 is pure cocaine

WHY do I keep jumping on melee lol

[tidal marten]

meth

[charred geode]

i would recomend you to do it slowly

with patience and knowing when to heal

and fucking destroy him when he's staggered

[acoustic summit]

I dont really heal in bossfights

[pastel oracle]

based

[acoustic summit]

in grimm there just isn't enough time

and in general I get hit and lose more hp than I'd regen

cuz I swapped baldur shell for quickslash

but I like the faster speed more i think

[charred geode]

is this attack in normal grimm or just nkg?

because you can heal in it

[acoustic summit]

i mean you kinda can

[charred geode]

u got time in it

[acoustic summit]

but for me it's cutting it too close

[atomic hound]

both

[charred geode]

specially normal grimm

[acoustic summit]

halp

i gottakeep the grim child which is 2 notches

[charred geode]

i see the problem

ur not using compass

[acoustic summit]

ah right

[charred geode]

try again with compass

[acoustic summit]

so swapping baldur for compass + swarm?

[charred geode]

yeah

[atomic hound]

you only need it when gathering flames and fighting grimmy

[acoustic summit]

no the fight wont activate without it

[jovial hull]

why tf are you using baldur in grimm?

[acoustic summit]

what do you suggest

[charred geode]

maybe that's the problem u got

[atomic hound]

ye thats what im saying too! ^^

[jovial hull]

Literally anything else

[iron ember]

whats that one video hosting site that people use thats free to upload stuff to discord and you just click teh link to see the video

[charred geode]

im suggesting compass + swarm

[acoustic summit]

no baldur = no healing

in my fights

[jovial hull]

longnail, soul catcher, stalwarts, fury, etc

[jovial hull]

But if you get hit during baldur...you wont heal either way

[charred geode]

quick focus lore:

[jovial hull]

bilibili? youtube?

[acoustic summit]

Imma try without quickslash

[jovial hull]

thats not a good idea but ok

[charred geode]

why mark of pride tho

doesn't help that much in grimm

[acoustic summit]

cuz its better than longnail and the grub aint worth it imo

[atomic hound]

if you are used to baldur shell, keep it, otherwise you could change to steady body and grubsong for example

[charred geode]

quick focus to heal

[severe plover]

No cost too great another awesome phrase to justify my actions
Yay

[iron ember]

what no

[acoustic summit]

mb quick focus for pride

[severe plover]

Wait what we talkin about?

[charred geode]

grubsong best 1 notch charm by far (without counting compass and swarm)

[acoustic summit]

.

[charred geode]

charm build for grimm fight

[atomic hound]

for me its the dream one cause it makes dreamshiwled bugger
i know dreamshield is bad but i love it!

[charred geode]

i would like fighting markoth with only dreamshield and dream wielder

it will be weird

shield fight

[iron ember]

https://youtu.be/WTAOIRYvdPY

[jovial hull]

thats literally just youtube

[severe plover]

Shaman stone, grub, grimm child (yes), quickslash and last one idk, random choice

[severe plover]

Reason: spam abyss shriek.

[charred geode]

how many notches left?

for last one

[severe plover]

1

[iron ember]

yeah ik i was asking about sm else but im too lazy to find it so

[charred geode]

i would like to suggest nailmaster's glory

it's not that good but still

[severe plover]

It can do chip dmg

[acoustic summit]

alright quick focus did the trick]

[severe plover]

Using this build with abyss shriek in my opinion is basically /skip Grimm_fight

[charred geode]

/skip Grimm_fight

[severe plover]

Actually the last notch can be used with dream wielder if you need soul, prolly 2 dream nail and normal nail

[charred geode]

awww didn't work

[severe plover]

Oof

[acoustic summit]

rate my 1st save exploring build

the swarm's there for the meme

[severe plover]

Pretty nice

Wait how many notches can we get in total?

[acoustic summit]

11

I think

[severe plover]

Including the 3 starting one?

[acoustic summit]

yep

and the one from grimm

[warped lodge]

hi

[acoustic summit]

hi

[severe plover]

Then my exploration charms would be compass, swarm, MoP, dash master, dream wielder, grub song, sprint master and nail master (just to fill in and situational)

MoP be cause range, dash master cuz its fast, dream wielder to get soul fast, grubsong to get soul when moving through a trap of some sort, sprint and nail is just filing in the space

[jovial hull]

DD timeloss is so real

[acoustic summit]

ok ig

[charred geode]

i just saw a meme saying this is steel soul

[junior ocean]

this isnt a meme channel

[charred geode]

ok i will send it to memes channel then

[lost tulip]

we're getting there

[lost tulip]

soul farm 🔥

[steep brook]

Nobody:
Flukemon: slurping noises

[alpine wharf]

I easily cleared it with this

[lost tulip]

in that case i guess you also would want to use nailmaster's glory

[stoic sentinel]

I cooked bagels with my brother bagels

First time ever

[wild flax]

Very nice

[alpine wharf]

That's my favorite.

It allows me to make many changes to my play style.

[alpine wharf]

Looks delicious~

[lost tulip]

guys i just refused to give an item to pale lurker

[alpine wharf]

It's 2 a.m. here and I need to sleep to go to school, but it's so much fun that I can't sleep.

But now I have to go to sleep

[lost tulip]

https://tiermaker.com/create/indie-games-2024-17158924
i made a real indie games tier list template
help me if i missed ones

[wispy onyx]

actually massive respects for adding Death's Door

that game's goated

[midnight oasis]

[deep wing]

Wait subnautica is an indie game?

[covert current]

Why is Celeste in A tier

Oh NVM undertale is A tier too. Opinion discarded

[stuck hearth]

bcz mountain

[stuck hearth]

what do u mean

[iron ember]

my exploring build was compass chaman swarm and soul catcher

[midnight oasis]

Undertale has a few issues but I do enjoy it nonetheless

Celeste is unforgivable I agree

But I can't change enjoying it, its a curse I have to live with

[gusty tree]

Ok guys I have a very serious question
Should I write a detailed analysis on the geography of each area in Hollow Knight?

[midnight oasis]

do you want to

[gusty tree]

idk
should i?

[covert current]

Why do you need us to tell you

Do you lack autonomy

[gusty tree]

im gathering peoples opinions please 😭

[junior ocean]

idk if there is rly much info to write

[covert current]

Why do other people's opinions matter

[junior ocean]

zal W?!

[midnight oasis]

Mine does but if I wasn't in chat it would've been pointless

[gusty tree]

im gonna do it regardless of what people say i just want to see what people think

[junior ocean]

what does that even mean

[covert current]

Well that seems redundant

[boreal flame]

I just wanted to do it.

[midnight oasis]

won't play Little Nightmares or Outer Wilds

[swift vault]

Silksong is just "bad" before even coming out

[midnight oasis]

Its bad because its the sequel to HK

[lost tulip]

colo 2 my beloved

[lost tulip]

ok but is it just me that found the areas shown in the trailer a bit... lacking?

like, i didnt find them much interesting

[boreal flame]

I completely spoiled Outer Wilds and Little Nightmares for myself, and as for the later, I don't like horrors.

[lost tulip]

at least compared to hk's areas

[midnight oasis]

Just you yeah

[swift vault]

i think that effect happened cause you do not have the game yet
when it comes out you will probably get the feeling again

[midnight oasis]

They look breathtaking imo. Ari's artstyle has really improved since Godmaster

[lost tulip]

but if there's anything that im very interested in is the combat

[lyric mist]

https://vxtwitter.com/marioemblem_2/status/1791562568722432153?s=46&t=U8B0-0qHt_21QWlNI4sP_w Jin kazama

[swift vault]

i am a bit afraid of SS combat but it is promising at the same time

[lost tulip]

mfw hades is lower than friday night funkin

[steel wyvern]

havent played hades

[midnight oasis]

Lame sauce is the most concise and apt way to described this tierlist

[lost tulip]

you should def give it a try if you like roguelikes

[steel wyvern]

i didnt really like dead cells

[lost tulip]

and visual novels too ig???

[lyric mist]

Where is deltarune

[grim quarry]

Offtopic having a cool discussion for once

[steel wyvern]

towards the top

[lyric mist]

Oh

Yeah I’m blind

I didn’t expect it to be the blue logo

[steel wyvern]

i wish there were more spots then i could be a lot more accurate with how i feel

[lyric mist]

Thought it would be the the black one

[midnight oasis]

why is HK above Stardew

Or anything actually

[swift vault]

HK

[steel wyvern]

stardew is pretty lame, the only reason stardew valley is so high is because its addicting when you play

[midnight oasis]

I think you mean satisfying

[lost tulip]

stardew is not my type of game

[boreal flame]

I know this comment isn't directed at me, but almost everything I've heard about Hades is that this is a game not for roguelike fans.

[steel wyvern]

the only satisfying part is harvesting crops

[midnight oasis]

what do you mean addicting

[lost tulip]

i think everyone can enjoy it ig

[midnight oasis]

I'm fairly certain you don't mean actual addiction

[steel wyvern]

idk once i start playing i cant put it down for hours

[midnight oasis]

Thats because its peak

[grim quarry]

I haven't gotten around to Celeste mainly because I heard it's grindy
And a usual response to "I beat PoP" is often "wait until you try Celeste" which definitely doesn't help

[midnight oasis]

Dunno why i put it in fine tbh

[boreal flame]

I heard that the gameplay is the weakest part of the game, they mainly play it for the visuals and story.

[steel wyvern]

because how i play is like i think "okay i need to do this tomorrow" and then it loops

[lost tulip]

my hollow knight playtime is the definition of "addiction"
i bought the game yesterday and clocking at 20 hours

[lost tulip]

i... have to agree

[plucky eagle]

celeste is great

[lost tulip]

goofy ahh diff curve

[steel wyvern]

celeste is a lot more satisfying than path of pain and is worth trying

[lost tulip]

celeste is miles easier than hk imo

[boreal flame]

Agree

[midnight oasis]

Celeste would be good without 5A maybe

[lost tulip]

wait until you try 8b

[midnight oasis]

I have

[steel wyvern]

also i love celeste's story, quite possibly one of my favorite stories ive ever seen in a video game

[lost tulip]

also celeste's story is poggers too

[boreal flame]

А5? Only A5?

[lost tulip]

5a*

[midnight oasis]

8b is pretty bad

[brave blaze]

5a is fine if you skip

[lost tulip]

your opinion is correct /j

[grim quarry]

When I have more time on my hands I'll try it, I think
I've found myself recently leaning towards games that are less challenging that I can just sit down and chill with tbh

[lost tulip]

why the hate on 5a btw

[steel wyvern]

no idea how the naming system works for levels

[lost tulip]

serious question

[steel wyvern]

in celeste

[boreal flame]

I don't remember which ones, but I do remember that some of Celeste's levels definitely left me emotionally traumatized, especially Farewell.

[jovial hull]

@slate nacelle just a goofy ass wcs thing I discovered that lets you use wings infinitely

[midnight oasis]

HK is good if you skip 90% of it

[grim quarry]

Real

[slate nacelle]

so a glitch?

[lost tulip]

(chapter number)+(side)

[slate nacelle]

what's wcs?

[swift vault]

oh man

[plucky eagle]

wall cling storage

[atomic hound]

i died to pantheon 5 1 hit away from finishing off abs rad

[lost tulip]

5a is mirror temple A-side

[slate nacelle]

oh yeah

[boreal flame]

Every game is good if you skip 100% of it.

[slate nacelle]

hello 🥕

[steel wyvern]

oh i liked all the chapters

[swift vault]

Nixter

[steel wyvern]

havent played any of the remixes though

[plucky eagle]

hello !

[brave blaze]

Idk, its just confusing and not that fun gameplay wise imo, atleast the key section

[plucky eagle]

accidentally got a knight do be sliding earlier lol

[midnight oasis]

5b is peak however

[slate nacelle]

oh that's funny

[brave blaze]

Thats why I like it when you do the skip, because you dont have to memorize the stupid keys

[jovial hull]

That’s what tascord said

[midnight oasis]

I love quiet and falling as well. First playthrough its not bad

[lost tulip]

5c is meh

[plucky eagle]

haven’t done the b sides in ages lol

[jovial hull]

Like, it’s completely useless, but it’s hilarious

[swift vault]

5b is peak?! 👀

[lost tulip]

the first room is annoying

[steel wyvern]

oh yeah mirror temple did suck

[jovial hull]

And yes it’s banned NMG, cc said so

[steel wyvern]

and the music was worse

[lost tulip]

erm achtually the peak is 7a 🤓☝️

[steel wyvern]

iirc

[chilly timber]

hi guy s

[steel wyvern]

7a was way too long

[slate nacelle]

I mean wcs is banned as well right so this would of course be banned too

[swift vault]

summit maps are real

[brave blaze]

7a is cool

[chilly timber]

u guys talking ab celest

[plucky eagle]

yes

[steel wyvern]

the must for 7a is so good, i listened to it whenever i rock climbed

[swift vault]

Nix hop on 7C

[lost tulip]

thankfully i am not part of the "calm music = bad music" cult anymore

[boreal flame]

What are you even talking about? Level 2376y is definitely the WORST level in the game.

[jovial hull]

I’ve literally never done a b or c side piss off

[steel wyvern]

i like a lot of calm music but like mirror temple was not memorable for me at all

[jovial hull]

Unless you mean TAS

[swift vault]

wha but 7C is funny for tas

[jovial hull]

Honestly I’m horrible at Celeste TASing the TAS would be worse than just me playing it myself

[steel wyvern]

and i no longer know what to say

[jovial hull]

Idk the proper momentum tricks

[swift vault]

you know i mean the TAS version of 7C right?
7C needle

[iron ember]

look at my drawing? :3

[lost tulip]

you guys wanna see the 8c tas

[jovial hull]

Dude I’m barely a part of the Celeste community

I’ve talked in celestecord like twice

I have literally no clue what you’re talking about

[plucky eagle]

[swift vault]

lol its just a Sero like on 7C which is above +3 i think

[jovial hull]

Is that English?

[brave blaze]

Shrue mango

[boreal flame]

да

[swift vault]

this is Sero now imagine an almost perfect gameplay with 7C length

[lost tulip]

my face when cassoosted fuper

[lost tulip]

celeste players are great at naming tech, you see

[brave blaze]

Looking at that is giving me a headache

[swift vault]

[boreal flame]

my eyes breaking

[plucky eagle]

i have no clue how to do that but it looks kinda fun

[swift vault]

i love Sero
most hate it

[lost tulip]

someday i will play d1d7

[swift vault]

so true

[plucky eagle]

this is why i need a steam account i need the hk and celeste mods fr

[swift vault]

d1d7 was fun imo

[lost tulip]

63 hours on one screen

[swift vault]

ok i took 21 on that screen

[lost tulip]

like thats normal 😭

[swift vault]

Parrot got unlucky

[lost tulip]

now that i think abt it shouldnt the room name be 3-k2

instead of 2k-3

[swift vault]

2k-3 means its the Third room on 2k meters part

[lost tulip]

ye ik

[sturdy skiff]

slime rancher is wild

[lost tulip]

but the map is backwards

[midnight oasis]

Its very cozy

[steel wyvern]

star likes cozy games over peak games

[midnight oasis]

cozy IS peak

[steel wyvern]

erm

[ocean nacelle]

So, what do y'all think is the worst binding to do?

[covert kindle]

https://tenor.com/view/realization-life-of-brian-cesar-michael-palin-gif-26599102

[covert kindle]

1.000.000 your own kids for a few longer days your kingdom to live.

[ocean nacelle]

What?

[covert kindle]

What do you mean by binding?

[swift vault]

Charm binding makes the gameplay a lot slower and it might few awkward cause you got used to them
but the Mask one ia also pretty challenging specially if the challenge has many cases you get hit

[ocean nacelle]

Pantheon bindings

[covert kindle]

Ah

Im sorry i played alot of the binding of isaac.

I didnt get word binding right

[ocean nacelle]

Me personally I believe the soul binding is the worst, because it just seems unfair. My reasoning being the others limit to an extent, masks down to half, nail caps at 13 with pure nail being 21, and charms could be reworked to have only 3 notches or so, but soul just feels unfair. The others limit to about half or what your starting amount was before upgrades, but soul limits to one use, cutting it down to 1/6th
