[pastel oracle]

but you use soul constantly with spells

soul charm is like the easiest unless you're used to healing

but even then healing is fine with it

charm binding literally says no no to charms

[ocean nacelle]

Sometimes ya can't, or it's not a good situation, I don't use spells that much because I'm more of a nail guy, but it seems unfair to me that it restricts more than the others, I'd be fine if it limited to one full soul gauge, that way it limits to about half like the others

[swift vault]

Soul Binding is real fine no way you wanna make it like that

[ocean nacelle]

Idk, to me it seems bad

Idk if anyone agrees, probably not

[swift vault]

if you had three casts of soul you are really op and not really matters to have a binding then lol

honestly one cast is already great

[ocean nacelle]

Damn, guess I'm just blabbin'

[pastel oracle]

as someone who is a nail player, you just gotta roll with it because spells do more damage and are just usually way better in most scenarios, plus the faster you play in most cases it allows you to heal just fine too or definitely at least once

[ashen wadi]

The fact that soul binding actually affects how you play is what makes it the least boring

[swift vault]

so true

[pastel oracle]

tldr just dodge and spam spells

[ocean nacelle]

I do agree in most cases spells are more viable with degraded nail, idk I'm probably just ranting

it may also have to do with the fact I'm doing it with shell binding together and not on its own

[swift vault]

yea both together get a bit tricky but more because of shell one i think

[pastel oracle]

tbh i say I'm a nail player but after doing the pantheons with all bindings for months I'm prob more of a spell user

[ocean nacelle]

Damn

[ashen wadi]

You ideally aren’t filling the extra vessels anyways

[ocean nacelle]

Wdym?

[ashen wadi]

They have reduced soul gain

[ocean nacelle]

The extra gauges?

[ashen wadi]

Yes

[ocean nacelle]

Well, I usually try to have as much soul as possible by using qslash and strength to hit repeatedly, but I can't do that with soul binding

[swift vault]

what are you doing imo?

P5 bindings or what?

[twilit gorge]

hey guys I'm having trouble on the (SPOILER AHEAD: nightmare king grimm fight. Any tips? I legit can not survive anymore than 10 seconds max in this fight.

[steel wyvern]

get anika on this

[twilit gorge]

whos anika?

[steel wyvern]

an awesome person in this server

[twilit gorge]

oh cool

[lost tulip]

i remember on my first time i bested grimm and then i could barely get an attack on NKG lmao

[twilit gorge]

fr the following grimm fights are so easy compared to nightmare

[swift vault]

Anika

[lost tulip]

theres also people who say NKG is easier than base grimm

because they got so used to his attacks

[junior ocean]

Anika

[swift vault]

Hello

[steel wyvern]

hi anika

[junior ocean]

🥭 🫵

:neatwheat: 🫵

[dusty shoal]

Do you have to tag spoilers here too?

It says they're allowed but not if I should tag them or not

[junior ocean]

read the pins

[dusty shoal]

I did

Thats where I saw that they're allowed

[junior ocean]

there is ur answer

[dusty shoal]

Doesnt say if I should tag them or not

[junior ocean]

it pretty explicitly states that spoilers are allowed

[molten moat]

If the pins or rules dont tell you to do something, it isnt needed

[dusty shoal]

I know, but it didnt say if I should tag them

[junior ocean]

oh man

[dusty shoal]

Otso66 actually gave me an answer tho

[junior ocean]

if spoilers are allowed that means it doesnt need to be tagged

[dusty shoal]

Not necessarily

[junior ocean]

yes necessarily

[dusty shoal]

Spoilers are allowed in help channel but they need to be tagged

[junior ocean]

so spoilers arent allowed

[dusty shoal]

dude

[brave blaze]

Stupid argument

[dusty shoal]

whether spoilers are tagged or not, they are still IN help channel

they are ALLOWED, but need to be tagged

[steel wyvern]

ok you only need spoiler tags if spoilers are spoiling someone

[junior ocean]

so spoilers arent allowed

[steel wyvern]

*could be

[ashen wadi]

[dusty shoal]

Just like how spoilers are allowed on the reddit but they need to have a spoiler flair

[junior ocean]

[steel wyvern]

the only channels that need spoiler tags is hk-help and hk-lore when discussing silksong

[junior ocean]

shoo

go to hkdiscussion

[brave blaze]

I am omnipresent iirc

[junior ocean]

😨

[brave blaze]

Besides in lore fuck that

[dusty shoal]

I don't think you recall correctly

[twilit gorge]

are my charms why I keep failing nightmare grimm?

[dusty shoal]

what are ur charms

i mean technically you could learn without any charms but charms makes the learning process easier

[twilit gorge]

this

[dusty shoal]

okay

you wont like this

[twilit gorge]

I had quick focus before but

[steel wyvern]

you should not make a build that rewards being hit

[dusty shoal]

but remove wayward compass

and thorns of agony

[twilit gorge]

aw dang it thats what I got last time I asked for build advice

alright what now

[dusty shoal]

remove shaman stone

[lost tulip]

K lets go

[steel wyvern]

shaman stone can be really good for nkg

i use shaman stone for radiant

[twilit gorge]

oh god who do I listen to

[junior ocean]

not can be. it is

[dusty shoal]

sharp shadow, quickslash, strength

[steel wyvern]

well it depends if you use spells

[dusty shoal]

for me i barely use spells, but idk his style

[twilit gorge]

yeah after I equipped that charm I used spells more

[steel wyvern]

use spells, they do hella damage

[dusty shoal]

i'll just link the reddit comment that i always link

[junior ocean]

if ur at this part of the game its about time u use them

[steel wyvern]

go get quickslash

[twilit gorge]

so don't throw shaman stone?

[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

[twilit gorge]

okay

[steel wyvern]

the best build imo is strength, quickslash, and mark of pride for nkg

[junior ocean]

quick slash

[dusty shoal]

mark of pride is a waste of 3 notches

[steel wyvern]

last two slots you can mess around with

[dusty shoal]

last two notches is grimmchild

[junior ocean]

tammo🫵

[dusty shoal]

hes doing ow nkg

[steel wyvern]

it helps with nkg imo

[twilit gorge]

bro theres like 3 people telling me what charms are good and bad

[dusty shoal]

if you REALLY need a long nail for whatever reason use longnail. mark of pride is too much range

[ashen wadi]

QS for nkg probably isn’t worth it unless you’ve already basically mastered the fight

[twilit gorge]

"equip mark of pride." "No mark of pride trash" AAAAA

[junior ocean]

each individual is right everyone else is wrong iirc

[steel wyvern]

i dont care i beat nkg a bajillion times

[dusty shoal]

instead of hitting once or so on the bat attack and once on the fire pillar attack you can hit 3 on the bat and 2 on the fire pillar

thats mega useful

[twilit gorge]

where do you get quickslash?

[dusty shoal]

4 if you do 2 cycles

[twilit gorge]

should I look it up?

[junior ocean]

iirc great slash does the exact same thing

[dusty shoal]

nailmaster oro i think? or mato

[steel wyvern]

thats because you should make your own strategy, quickslash and strength are pretty crucial imo

[ashen wadi]

Strength absolutely

[dusty shoal]

the one at kingdoms edge

right of the bench

[steel wyvern]

oro is the one at kingdom's edge iirc

[dusty shoal]

a bunch of breakable floors

[twilit gorge]

alright I'll head there now

[dusty shoal]

if you keep going theres 420 geo too

[junior ocean]

iirc use glory, shaman, and twister + catcher?!

[steel wyvern]

glory against nkg??

[dusty shoal]

twister??

[junior ocean]

ya u don't even need glory tbh

u can use grubsong instead

[steel wyvern]

twister is more soul effcient than soul eater for spells

[dusty shoal]

nail arts can be useful for nkg but dont use glory if ur using nail arts

[ashen wadi]

I’m not sure catcher is that worth it

[junior ocean]

but for newer ppl glory is helpful for consistency

[dusty shoal]

if you dont have qwuickslash you can great slash twice on the fire pillar attack but it requires skill

[junior ocean]

catchers benefits compared to twister are nearly identical

[dusty shoal]

strength + quickslash does more damage than nail arts anyway

[twilit gorge]

oh should I try that?

[ashen wadi]

Sure but strength is also good

[junior ocean]

it doesnt

[dusty shoal]

if you want to, requires getting used to tho

[dusty shoal]

in the long run

[twilit gorge]

alright I'll give it a go

[dusty shoal]

strength doesnt increase nail arts damage

[steel wyvern]

just get quickslash it will be helpful against most bosses

[dusty shoal]

yeah quickslash is a must

[junior ocean]

nail arts provide essentially the same damage

[steel wyvern]

even though it should >:(

[dusty shoal]

slower hits

[ashen wadi]

On pillars and bats but you’re also pogoing nkg a good amount

[dusty shoal]

just watch the video i link in my reddit comment @twilit gorge

[junior ocean]

u can use cyclone instead

[dusty shoal]

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=aOPya-sFdqI

[junior ocean]

cyclone can do more damage than shriek on pillars

[brave blaze]

And still less then graig knighting right

[ashen wadi]

I would definitely not suggest that to someone who isn’t pretty confident with the fight

[junior ocean]

practice

[dusty shoal]

zero nail arts used

[ashen wadi]

Yes it’s possible to do the fight without narts

[steel wyvern]

everyone plays differently

[junior ocean]

it is just wait for 2 pillars to fire then use cyclone

[dusty shoal]

yeah but for someone new to nkg nail arts are harder

[junior ocean]

its subjective

[steel wyvern]

there is no one good way to play hollow knight

[dusty shoal]

imo nail arts just arent worth the effort

[steel wyvern]

[ashen wadi]

Aggressive charm meta:

[junior ocean]

tammo should do anyradiance!!

[ashen wadi]

[junior ocean]

or neatwheat

[brave blaze]

Tammo should hop on good bosses instead iirc

[steel wyvern]

okay well the point of a video game is to have fun, so as long as youre having fun its okay

[junior ocean]

iirc yato should do anyrad

[steel wyvern]

im so rusty i die to absrad

[ashen wadi]

This is FALSE if you aren’t having fun the way I say you should you’re stinky and bad

[brave blaze]

Nuh uh, I did 45 minutes back in like 2022 and never looked back

[junior ocean]

[brave blaze]

Whenever the list was, I dont remember

[steel wyvern]

youre made me cough

[junior ocean]

u have gotten better since 2022!!

[brave blaze]

Yeah, but the boss hasnt

[junior ocean]

[steel wyvern]

and nkg

then again the wait for silksong is literal months

[tardy badger]

You're right, I found death door so better than Tunic

[midnight oasis]

Well there isn't a good or fun way to play HK in the first place

[ashen wadi]

You can close the game and play something else

[steel wyvern]

i mean i beat another crab's treasure all that's left is achievment hunting

[midnight oasis]

Like Chicory

Or Ultrakill. I've been spending a whole lot of time on those games recently

[twilit gorge]

ultrakill is really good

[steel wyvern]

my laptop cant even run fortnite idk if it could run ultrakill

and idk if i like shooter games at all

[twilit gorge]

ultrakill is ps1 styled

[steel wyvern]

so??

[twilit gorge]

a ps1 styled game shouldn't be hard to run but idk

I do get lag spikes on it sometimes

[steel wyvern]

well i cant run fortnite above 6 fps and apparently that means ultrakill wont run

or so my friend says

[twilit gorge]

fortnite is a game with a big map, lots of items and its online

[midnight oasis]

Shooter games suck 5-S and 7-S are the only reasons to play Ultrakill

[twilit gorge]

ultrakill is singleplayer ps1 styled and not very demanding

[twilit gorge]

the steam requirements aren't much

lemme check

oh hey

[drifting cliff]

Looks like Ultrakill has lower requirements than HK on steam

[twilit gorge]

theres a demo you could try out

[chilly timber]

i love ultra kill bro

I love hakita

[pastel oracle]

ultrapeak

[twilit gorge]

what are your pc specs if you don't mind me asking?

[steel wyvern]

i have no idea

[twilit gorge]

do you have directx?

[steel wyvern]

i dont know what that means

[twilit gorge]

try typing dxdiag into your windows bar

[steel wyvern]

currently am on mobile rn

[twilit gorge]

oh

welp

[midnight oasis]

dxdiag into your windows bar

Now what

[twilit gorge]

oh go to display and it should tell you your systems specs

[drifting cliff]

Me personally I would type "how to find pc specs" followed by my operating system into google

[steel wyvern]

me personally i just complain and never give any helpful info

[twilit gorge]

lol

[frigid island]

https://tenor.com/view/cat-pizza-sneaky-gif-8440850

[sick glade]

there needs to be a spot it/dobble type game bit it's hollow knight charms

[twilit gorge]

okay I'm gonna just go to godhome and then hopefully have more skill after fighting some people

[chilly timber]

it’s never been more over that how over it is rihhgnt now

[pastel oracle]

so true

[opal acorn]

alo

[velvet depot]

hollow knight is mid

just kidding lol

i love this game

[frigid island]

starpengu however

[midnight oasis]

Pictured: An #hk-general user accidentally becoming based and immediately realizing their mistake and seeking to fix it

[velvet depot]

what mistake?

[jovial hull]

Becoming based

Ismoil is the only based hk offtopic user fr

[velvet depot]

based? saying hk is bad unironically is not being based, its just not trying it, because if you try, you maybe wont like, buty you will agree that it have high quality

[jovial hull]

The art is high quality

[midnight oasis]

Quality is a subjective matter

[jovial hull]

The sound is terrifying because the thought of a voice actor sitting in a closet and making fluke noises is scary to me

[midnight oasis]

I'd agree the music and art and story are all peak

[jovial hull]

And the music/story are good

[midnight oasis]

Collector laughs

[jovial hull]

The code is atrocious spaghetti

[midnight oasis]

I think Hornet's VA did the fluke sounds

[brave blaze]

Its just an overused joke, I wouldnt pay too much attention to it

[jovial hull]

Like it’s hilarious because the game functions pretty well until you start doing anything technical

Ah yes, here we have: wall sliding mid air

Walking on the air

Casually dropping out of the map

[midnight oasis]

Yato is the fun police wtf

[jovial hull]

Sitting on a bench…from a mile away from the bench

Just fucking teleporting

[midnight oasis]

Didn't someone get soul from hitting a spike

Like as an enemy died

[jovial hull]

I think if you attack an enemy and then it dies to a spike you get kill credit

So essence chance and soul

[midnight oasis]

[brave blaze]

https://tenor.com/view/kanye-stare-lmao-neutral-face-not-funny-gif-23051909

[steel wyvern]

i mean you dont get soul from spells

[brave blaze]

That gif actually goes so hard lol

[midnight oasis]

I feel like its overused but I suppose I can't talk about that

[brave blaze]

If mobile wasnt absolute garbage id favourite it

I need that gif, but with like, dj khaled

[steel wyvern]

i need that gif but instead its the tas clearing anyrad 3.0

[magic python]

i lied to everyone here

i never beat p4

untill now

[frigid island]

WTF

[magic python]

i beat it after 2 tries not that hard acualy

[velvet depot]

hey guys, which one is better for you guys? hollow knight or undertale

[ashen escarp]

Hollow knight cause I dislike undertale

[velvet depot]

judging you, but okay

[magic python]

ive never played under tail

[steel wyvern]

hollow knight because undertale has like 10 smidges of content

[ashen escarp]

I didn't beat Undertale but from what I played deltarune is better

[midnight oasis]

Undertale is a lot less replayable imo

[velvet depot]

i agree..

just kidding i probably did more than 10 of each route

[frigid island]

Story of undertale....

[midnight oasis]

I don't see a whole lot of reason to play after true pacifist

Genocide is incredibly grindy and the game is pretty linear

[velvet depot]

only genocide

[grim quarry]

the funny thing is both games had plenty of room to improve upon their gameplay and content, but now both creators have the resources necessary to really put their all into Deltarune and Silksong

[frigid island]

I only replayed to do the bosses

[velvet depot]

yes, but you do it 1 time for the lore and the sans fight

[midnight oasis]

Sans fight kinda sucks imo

[velvet depot]

im a speedruner of undertale, so i cant say its not replayable

[midnight oasis]

The lore is googlable

[velvet depot]

. . .

[midnight oasis]

In comparison to undyne its incredibly lame

[velvet depot]

wont even answer that

[ashen escarp]

Ngl the only fight in Undertale I enjoyed from what I played was the undying fight

[velvet depot]

undyne fight is kinda, really kinda good

its too short bro

if you learn how to attack properly, she dies in a few turns

[midnight oasis]

Deltarune is its own thing instead of being weighed down by a bad predecessor which is really neat imo

[steel wyvern]

i prefer hollow knight combat to undertale combat infinitely so

[ashen escarp]

What's your opinion on deltarune

[velvet depot]

deltarune is very good

[velvet depot]

cant argue bout that

[frigid island]

Deltarune alr better than undetale

[ashen escarp]

Better than Undertale?

[velvet depot]

hollow knight combat is infinitely better

[ashen escarp]

Agree

[velvet depot]

no, but has potential

like, there are 2 chapters

[frigid island]

Idk I just enjoy feltrune more

[velvet depot]

but it will have 7, so i believe in some years or months it will be infinitely better

[ashen escarp]

I beat both deltarune chapters

[velvet depot]

me too, like 8 times each

and snowgrave too

[ashen escarp]

What's your guys opinions on Celeste

[velvet depot]

never played and know nothing about it

[ashen escarp]

Me personally I think Celeste is goated

[velvet depot]

DONT SPOIL

[ashen escarp]

Ok

[velvet depot]

thanks

[steel trout]

Hi guys, what can I do if my pc crashed at the end of PoP (i wanna cry)

[velvet depot]

whats pop?

[midnight oasis]

cry, try again later if you want

[steel trout]

Path of Pain

[velvet depot]

oh

is it that hard like everyone says?

[steel trout]

yes

[velvet depot]

do u need it to

||100% or 112%?||

[steel trout]

I already have the 112 so not

[velvet depot]

so its completly and literally optional and completly useless?

sad

[upbeat lance]

Never and i mean never understimate somethings difficulty in hk i underistameted failed champion today and i got destroyed

[steel wyvern]

deltarune is better than undertalr in a lot of ways

[frigid island]

I like that you can run

And skip dialogue

[wispy onyx]

not really

if you really are searching to get ||PV's entry|| it's easier to do it in ||Godhome||

[steel trout]

that boss is not in pop

[wispy onyx]

ik but if I were honest I wouldn't be surprised if it actually was there lel

[velvet depot]

hey guys what do you prefer?

[wispy onyx]

[steel trout]

lol

[velvet depot]

||can only use pure nail basic attack (no nail art) or just vengefull spirit and abyss shriek?||

||obs: on the second option you have a nail that doesnt deal damage, just to get soul||

[steel trout]

i say spells

[velvet depot]

its just 2 spells, not all

[plucky eagle]

yea i’d go for the spells aswell

[velvet depot]

but yea, im with you

and what if it includes nail arts?

[wispy onyx]

eeeeh in my case depends on whether you can cast spells infinitely or not

[steel wyvern]

in a hk movie, who would yall fancast as the characters? me personally radiance as jack black

[steel trout]

SPELLS

[plucky eagle]

still spells, don’t use narts tbh

[steel trout]

How can i write an spoiler

[brave blaze]

Chris pratt as hornet

[plucky eagle]

||like this||

[wheat field]

Oh hi carrot

[plucky eagle]

you don’t need to spoiler in this channel tho

[wispy onyx]

Danny DeVito as Grimm

[plucky eagle]

hi roma !!!

[velvet depot]

no, but you have a nail that doesnt deal damage

[steel trout]

||Shrieks absolutely destroy radiance haha||

[velvet depot]

to get soul

[brave blaze]

[steel trout]

oh fuck

Nah

we could use spiders + the grubs amulet

[wheat field]

The video has 10k views somehow

[wispy onyx]

icic
well kinda hard for me to choose then I love using both playstyles

[steel trout]

thx everyone, now I feel better, I will try ||Path of Pain|| another day

[wispy onyx]

but I pick spells just so I can run diarrhea spell build 24/7

[plucky eagle]

aight gl !!

[steel wyvern]

that might actually work tbh

[plucky eagle]

[steel trout]

haha

[wheat field]

I may have done a really good job on tags lol
I honestly don't understand how it's happening,but i'm not against it at all

[steel trout]

What would you ratter?

[plucky eagle]

nice

[steel trout]

Kill ||zote|| or kill ||mila||

[plucky eagle]

uhm myla does nothing and gpz gives 300 essence so myla

[wheat field]

Well myla would die anyway

[plucky eagle]

and that

[steel trout]

...

Shhh

🤫

[wispy onyx]

well I could kill Zote but saving him in Greenpath gives you a couple geo so...

[wispy onyx]

look man, I'm into the munty

because it's funty

[steel trout]

not if you let him die in deepnest

[wheat field]

Zote gives you eternal ordeal wich is fun,i wouldn't want to ruin my fun

[plucky eagle]

he doesn’t die in deepnest

[plucky eagle]

eternal ordeal appears anywyas lol

[steel trout]

seriously?

[wispy onyx]

yeah that too

[plucky eagle]

yep

[steel trout]

a

[wispy onyx]

ye turns out he just stays there till' the heatdeath of the universe

[wheat field]

I'm just making silly points

[steel trout]

Ok

[plucky eagle]

true (:
eternal ordeal is fun

[wheat field]

Zote is content

[steel trout]

if you kill my boy zote, you wouldnt have the oportunity to destroy my least favorite boss in the game

(I hate a lot gpz)

[wheat field]

The colo bossfight is also really funny

[steel trout]

yes

if you can call that a fight

[wispy onyx]

gpz is hard, indeed
maybe not the worst, tho

[steel trout]

No hard

[wispy onyx]

I'm looking at you, No Eyes you piece of shit

[steel trout]

i beat him like 300 times

[plucky eagle]

bottom middle platform

[steel trout]

but i still hate the fight

[wheat field]

No eyes isn't hard

[plucky eagle]

indeed

[midnight oasis]

no eyes isn't difficult she's just unfun

In comparison to GPZ who is difficult and very fun

[steel trout]

if you stay in the middle of the arena, no ghost will hit you

[wispy onyx]

facts

[steel trout]

and with the ascended one, just follow the hornet advice

[frigid island]

When I replayed hk I almost died to mmc

[steel trout]

get gud

[wheat field]

You don't have to even do that,just be patient and you won't get hit

[steel trout]

who is mmc

[wheat field]

Massive moss charger

[steel trout]

a

that "not boss"

[plucky eagle]

ima be honest i’ve almost died to mmc so much lol

[steel trout]

In my first playtrough i die to mmc

so im with you all

[jovial hull]

Nyoom

[wispy onyx]

I honestly don't even remember my 1st encounter with MMC

[frigid island]

Like no double jump or shade cloak I almost got beat by the worst boss

[steel trout]

(Sorry for my english, it is my second lenguage)

[steel trout]

Bro anhilate them

[wheat field]

Rng manip beloved

[wispy onyx]

I mean, tbf you usually encounter MMC somewhat early so...

[steel trout]

Here is a difficult question

[frigid island]

I had just beat failed champion so i I thought I was jus gonna steamroll mmc

[plucky eagle]

indeed nyoom

[frigid island]

Grey role 😭

[brave blaze]

[steel trout]

Would you ratter delete ||NKG|| or ||mantis lords/sisters of battle|| from the game?

[frigid island]

Tf did bro do

[plucky eagle]

idk ?

[wheat field]

Wait why does it show nix name grey

[brave blaze]

Powdered had that one queued up

[wispy onyx]

[plucky eagle]

mantis lords

[steel trout]

You didn't hesitate

[wispy onyx]

I mean, on one hand NKG is a fun bossfight and has gud music
on the other ML/SoS are some of the most fun bosses of the whole game in general

[plucky eagle]

i like nkg more

[steel trout]

same

[wheat field]

Wait why?

[steel trout]

"burn the father feed the child"

[fallow bluff]

Scroll up a bit in #help

Can't miss it

Whole load of grey name messages

[wispy onyx]

tho if I were to actually choose
eeeeh I'm somewhat bias towards the funni mantises so...

N K G
b e g o n e

[wheat field]

If i'm not stupid the last one i see is "all charms,bosses.."

[fallow bluff]

Nightmare Ging Krimm

[fallow bluff]

Scroll up further

[wispy onyx]

the super duper secret boss after completing Zoteboat 169% tree times

[frigid island]

Insane mute :

[plucky eagle]

back to hitless hornet2
(i have dive now)

[steel trout]

yes

My favorite one

[brave blaze]

Nix made like, one not perfectly within the rules comment while arguing in help

[wispy onyx]

now while I do like NKG it's mostly due to his theme so...

[wheat field]

I belive i see..damn

[wispy onyx]

plus when it comes to dream bosses I'm mostly bias towards Soul Tyrant so... yeah

[fallow bluff]

And really continuing to argue after the discussion was supposed to stop

[steel trout]

Well guys do you know that if you beat the game with the dreams no more ending and reset your run 3 times, team cherry will give you a copy of hollow knight: zoteboat.

[fallow bluff]

If he wasn't a regular there wouldn't even be a question if it was a deserved mute tbh

[brave blaze]

Come to think of if me saying this is probably grounds enough for them aswell, would be funny

[frigid island]

😭

[wispy onyx]

also if you beat PoP in less than a minute without getting hit once all while reciting all 57 of Zote's precepts you'll unlock the true super secret final boss

Luigi

[steel trout]

Dont mention me PoP 😦

[plucky eagle]

pop so fun

[steel trout]

Yes

[wheat field]

Yes

Not for the first time tho

[steel trout]

But im sad

[wheat field]

It will likely be easier this time

[steel trout]

i hope

[frigid island]

Pop one of the best parts of hk

[steel trout]

yes... but...

my pc doesnt thinks like that

[warped lodge]

[kindred cape]

help me hollow knight is too good i need a new metroidvania to play thats on the same level

[steel trout]

imposible

but have a nice death is good

it is more a rogue like than a metroidvania

[midnight oasis]

Ori 2 is rather good, though perhaps not on the same level as HK

Lone Fungus is also a fun metroidvania, though it has quite poor enemy design and a lacking atmosphere

[ashen wadi]

prince of persia the lost crown is good

probably better bosses, definitely better enemy quality, abilities are more unique too

[midnight oasis]

[midnight oasis]

[steel wyvern]

[fiery mountain]

Helo anyone knows why i cant use desolate jump

[junior ocean]

could be that u dont have soul, are pressing the wrong buttons

[fiery mountain]

I press the keys and I only heal myself, I don't do the spell

[junior ocean]

what are u pressing

[olive phoenix]

You don’t hold it, only tap

[fiery mountain]

and I'm stuck because I just beat the boss so I have no souls

[olive phoenix]

Healing happens if you hold

[fiery mountain]

uh

it was just pressing thank you very much

[junior ocean]

🙀

wrong reply methinks

[chilly timber]

same bvro

[chilly timber]

silk song is never evwr dropping in a million years

I NEED TO DO SOMETHING...

[indigo star]

to go ouitside.

[charred geode]

oh yeah i forgot doing steel soul

nvm im not going back to my life

and also getting a way to increase fps

and also mods that actually add new things to the game, rather than just dumbass features

like pale court

or whatever the name is

[frigid island]

Try the battle royal mode

[fallen fern]

just came back to hollow knight after like a year

[frank bear]

hello

[fallen fern]

also
let him cook

[unkempt willow]

NO I DIED TO FREAKING MARKOTH IN P5

WGYYYYYYY

[fallen fern]

that must suck

i cant beat p1 because of the nail masters 😭

maybe if i used different charms

[steel wyvern]

no its just your skill issue

[chilly timber]

na this was me a while back

but u def got it theyr enot that bad

[junior ocean]

that comment doesnt rly say anything

neatwheat :0

[steel wyvern]

anika

[fallen fern]

its not them it's the fact that i have to do it after dealing with the whole ahh pantheon

[fallen fern]

it basically says hes not the pure vessel

[junior ocean]

and uses incorrect reasoning and reading of dialogue

[faint horizon]

[midnight oasis]

sumwan

Mossbag if he was good

[junior ocean]

6 year old lore 😔

[steel wyvern]

lemme check this out

wtf outer wilds youtube

[midnight oasis]

sumwan is based?

[fallen fern]

anyways i cant beat the radiance 😔

hk isnt that hard
radiance after it is though

what charm lineup should i use

[steel wyvern]

strength

[fallen fern]

im already using that

i mean like a full setup

rn i have strength, quick slash, and quick focus

[frigid island]

I dont think u need quick focus

Out of those 3

[fallen fern]

what would you suggest as a replacement

i have pure nail btw

one charm slot is taken by the void charm

[frigid island]

Isnt it like free

[astral rapids]

It is

It takes no notches

[fallen fern]

It doesn't take a notch

But it does take a charm slot

Better than if it took notches st least

Anyways quick slash + unbreakable strength + pure nail give for a good damage output

I need something more on the defensive / recovery side

I'd use joni's blessing but then I can't recover if I get hit

Hiveblood is an option...

[swift vault]

how far you got? (the fight)

[fallen fern]

I usually get to radiance and then die in the first phase 💀

It's been months since I played this game so

[swift vault]

right.
you know spells also deal heavy damage, am i correct?

[fallen fern]

Yeah

Soul eater would be useful

Either that or hiveblood

Though I don't remember the recovery time for hiveblood

[swift vault]

you could get Shaman Stone for that one
it makes The (UP) spell deal more than 100 damage

[swift vault]

10 seconds which is quite a bit i guess

[fallen fern]

Yeah not too sure about that one

I'll use shaman and see how it goes ig

[swift vault]

people usually cast like four and the boss falls on the floor ^.^

[fallen fern]

I've got 1 notch left so I'll grab nailmaster's glory ig

[fallen fern]

😭

[swift vault]

you are using Strength and Quickslash which is pretty powerful
you could get use for it on the next phases
the first one Shaman can get the work

[fallen fern]

I kinda just cheese the first phase then heal while he's stabbing himself (hollow knight)

[swift vault]

yea worth noting that the soul you get from Hollow Knight will be there for you to use too!
you also get a heal when you get into the fight :)

you can already start the fight Casting two or three spells right at the start o.o

[fallen fern]

Oh I just noticed

You know that feeling when the radiance is radiant

Olay I may have to ditch strength for hiveblood or lifeblood

I keep getting hit by those spear things or whatever they are

[swift vault]

you have not made any progress after "Floor Phase" the one you start?

[fallen fern]

Sadly no, hornet was saying get good for a reason

Not making it past phase 1 of the radiance is the ultimate shame

I could also overcharm but that seems anti productive

[swift vault]

its all good
you will understand better the patterns the more you play
though Spells can get rid orf that phase quickly

[pastel oracle]

what are you doing with radiance

pantheon or?

[ashen wadi]

hiveblood in a fight is generally not a good option, especially not for somebody like radiance where even if you can survive long enough for the regen to kick in it won't actually undo all the damage

[swift vault]

normal rad

[pastel oracle]

ah

[swift vault]

hiveblood builds are poggers
not in this case

[fallen fern]

Elegy is useless considering I'm rarely at full health

[swift vault]

whats the problem exactly pal?

[fallen fern]

I can't beat the first phase 😭

[swift vault]

why? the attacks are too overwhelming?

[fallen fern]

I haven't played in months so I'm bad at the game now

[fallen fern]

Basically yeah

[swift vault]

what you feel the worst ( like the worst attack for you )

[fallen fern]

Probably that one pattern of spears that goes across the screen horizontally

There's like an opening between two of the spears in said pattern

[swift vault]

you should focus on that attack when it happens and not damage the boss then

its honestly not really bad when thinking like that

[fallen fern]

Wait I just remembered you can pogo off some of them right

Like in general

[swift vault]

you can but honestly not overcomplicate

[pastel oracle]

yeah but that doesn’t really help you if you’re talking about the ones you have to dodge across your entire screen

well maybe for the sideways one for dash refresh but that’s if you’re quick and need it

[swift vault]

yes stand with simple moves
you will get it real fast!

[fallen fern]

Having to deal with that attack and the homing attack at the same time sucks as well

[swift vault]

the orbs can be pretty annoyin i can see that
try to walk under them if possible
that will make them go to the ground making them disapear

jumping too much might make the pattern a bit tricky so thats why standing on the floor usually is better

[fallen fern]

Alr starting out at max soul this time

[swift vault]

300 HP right at the start gg

[ashen wadi]

360 if you use shaman stone and hit every tick

which will instantly knock her into phase 2

[swift vault]

yea thats why i am a bit surprised they said "no progress"

[fallen fern]

I used it like 4 times before dying

Skill issue fr

[swift vault]

to make sure 8 of them is 100% some progress you got it

[lost tulip]

guys im on the final room of pop wish me luck

[fallen fern]

👍

YO I beat the first phase

And now I'm scared about the second

Is it harder or easier

[swift vault]

you got this!

Quick slash (Up slash) a lot if it comes close to you

[pastel oracle]

it does get easier, just after it gets harder

[swift vault]

heal when you can

[fallen fern]

The calm after the storm

[pastel oracle]

yes

[fallen fern]

I fell into the void...

This is the worst way to die

[swift vault]

you got progresss i do not get why that

[pastel oracle]

time to repeat until you win

[fallen fern]

Second phase again

[tribal skiff]

Guys, something’s wrong.

[fallen fern]

Imagine

[lost tulip]

pop is making me realize just how janky this game's physics are

ok i beat the last room just because i said that

[hazy loom]

Guys wouldn't it be really cool if Hornet had a bossfight

[dull oracle]

How about 2 that would be cool as hell

[hazy loom]

Right?

[digital dawn]

I did it

[hazy loom]

hell yeah

[dull oracle]

13% to go

[hazy loom]

13?

I thought it was 14%

[dull oracle]

Yeah 13

What no?

[digital dawn]

oh nah I already have 112%

I was doing the achievement

like complete game for 100% under 20 hours

[dull oracle]

Then 1% to go

[digital dawn]

there is only 112%

[dull oracle]

No?

[digital dawn]

yeah

[digital dawn]

wait what

I guess pantheon 5 counts too

Thats funny I was about to do it

[dull oracle]

https://tenor.com/view/nod-cat-hyper-gif-9540792418684483949

[ashen wadi]

(p5 does not count as a %)

112 is the max

[digital dawn]

hmm

yeah that's what I'm saying

[dull oracle]

Lies

[hazy loom]

if 112% is the max then why does he have a picture of 113%

[ashen wadi]

mod, bug, or fake

[dull oracle]

Its fake

Or something with the language idk

[hazy loom]

but it's a picture... you can't change those

[dull oracle]

[hazy loom]

could you use the amazing power of hollow knight glitches to get infinite percentage 🤔

[sour hare]

Mods

[sour hare]

I got 108% in 20 hours 1 minute once

Forgot about the achievement

[digital dawn]

Photoshop?

[hazy loom]

no you literally can't change a picture

it's proof

[unique ether]

for a seasoned photoshop user its not that hard

the stuff you can do in that program is insane

[hazy loom]

you literally can't tho, it's a picture

[dull oracle]

[unique ether]

define picture

you absolutely can edit a picture in Photoshop

[runic flame]

Ea

Sports

[wheat field]

He means it's a picture of a screenshot

[unique ether]

people have done that

[hazy loom]

the fact y'all think i'm serious scares me about the state of the internet

[unique ether]

you didnt even try sounding sarcastic

you either suck at doing so or you're now just saying it to prove your point

[hazy loom]

believe what you want i ain't gonna try defending myself against some rando on the internet

[unique ether]

aight but you're as much of a rando to me as i am to you

fair point you do you

[hazy loom]

never said i wasn't

🤝

[unique ether]

have a good day

[hazy loom]

you too

[unique ether]

[hazy loom]

[sour ridge]

wtf stop being cringe mango

also surely you can outheal greatchampion

[stoic sentinel]

Some slime rancher drawings i did some years ago

[hexed tulip]

how was holllowknight made

i know they used unity but how did they make the art and sounds

[brave blaze]

The art is handdrawn, the music is made via computer software and playing the instruments( atleast keyboard id guess ) and recording that

[dim ravine]

Lovely

That's a lot of nature building

You must've worked a lot on them

[dusty shoal]

wish me luck im tryna pull an all nighter for school

3 am currently and im tired but if i sleep now i wont wake up at 7 so i gotta stay up

[jaunty nacelle]

I forgot slime rancher was a thing but these are really good drawling even for something so simple I'm jealous of your drawing skills

[dusty shoal]

my bad forgot this was hk-offtopic

[jaunty nacelle]

I would so do that so I can pass out in class and the rest of the day is over in 5 seconds only issue is I need like the perfect place to sleep for example I can't sleep in the car I basically need to be lieing down somewhere comfortable to sleep ik I'm spoiled

[stoic sentinel]

I always loved alien games ecosystems, subnautica my beloved

[stoic sentinel]

It's Nothing special really, the artstyle was pretty damn great and mine it's nowhere as close

[fluid shuttle]

i beat mantis lords on old school computer

[dusty crater]

Cool

[errant quest]

god, why is maimai so addicting

Hollow knight but rhythm

[dim ravine]

Ben 10 my beloved
Mutual Love for Alien Worlds 🤝

[delicate badge]

WILL SPOTTED 🫵

[small fjord]

im at final boss of trial of fool

again

and i died

[brave blaze]

Hollow knight? I got the nail for sitting on the bench

[wheat field]

Yep they had a collab

[dire umbra]

whats the game?

[brave blaze]

Dead cells

[dire umbra]

ok ty

[iron ember]

Idk why people hate so much on wayward compass

Like I’m not remembering the whole ahh map

[ruby rampart]

After my first play through I remembered the entire map some how

I don’t even buy maps anymore, not even for deep nest

[inland light]

Once you replay this game as many times as most people who dislike the map gets stuck in your head, happened my 3rd playthrough, at that point its just a waste of money and slots

[ruby rampart]

I learnt deepnest after my third playthrough

I don’t even get city crest anymore

Peak laziness

[woven oriole]

Lunch

[native panther]

FUCK YEAH

[steel wyvern]

hey man

[crude bear]

guys am i softlocked

i went to soul warrior from the other side of the room

[plucky eagle]

no there’s a lever to go unlock it

[slate nacelle]

this is the right side

[steel elk]

my current stats lol

trying to get r30

[fallen fern]

Bro I reached the 3rd phase of radiance and died

Though I did forget to collect my shade though so

I finally beat radiance

[frigid island]

Gg

[fallen fern]

Now I can say I got the best ending 🙂

Ended up using soul eater and shaman stone

If you stand on the middle platform on the beginning of phase 2 you can just annihilate it by spamming up slash and the upwards spell

[frigid island]

Self react rofl is diabolical 😭

[fallen fern]

Also I have 106 hours in hollow knight

[jaunty nacelle]

500+

[fallen fern]

💀

Well I unlocked the void background for the menu now

Also I'm at 99% completion somehow

[junior ocean]

<@&283547423706447872> this seems kinda nsfw. or weird at the very least

[fallen fern]

I couldn't even tell what was going on in the image

[junior ocean]

regardless this channel is not a meme channel either so it doesnt rly belong

[fallen fern]

Also personally the two most unnerving areas are the royal waterways and infected crossroads

[frigid island]

What about deep nest

[fallen fern]

I mean it is unnerving

But the waterways just make me feel a certain way

Disgusted I guess?
But scared at the same time

Crossroads are unnerving just seeing how far the infection has spread

Though in terms of fear deepnest may be higher yeah

[stoic sentinel]

GoldenGully comment section always having multiple "free palestine" comment is pissing me off so much

I just wanna see some cooking videos

[jovial hull]

…let’s not get into those topics here please

[stoic sentinel]

Oh my bad, i just wanted to vent because you can't escape it

[frigid island]

Oh I know that guy

[stoic sentinel]

The kulfi man

[fallen fern]

Gonna try doing pantheons now

[stoic sentinel]

Get ready for hell

[jovial hull]

Pantheons are pretty breezy

Atleast imo

[jaunty nacelle]

Can I have some money

[fallen fern]

Doing pantheon of the master rn

No bindings

[stoic sentinel]

Yeah but they can become really tedious, at least for me

[jovial hull]

Oh I speedrun that one

My pb is like a 3:30 iirc

[fallen fern]

I like how hornet is like the easiest one

Besides moss charger

Alt I'm at the first resting area

Any charm changes anyone would advise for the second half

Imma take out quick focus for soul eater

[chilly crescent]

Guys massive mosscharger is the hardest boss

[fallen fern]

Fr

[acoustic summit]

Real

Took me 1,5 attempts to beat

[chilly crescent]

Also I love primal aspids

And those crystal things

And also fluke thingys

So fun!

[fallen fern]

Oh yeah those are so easy to dodge

The hardest boss in the game has gotta be zote tho tbh

[acoustic summit]

I don't even know what to joke about at this point

[chilly crescent]

Anyone who says they are bad just aren’t REAL hollow knighters 🙄🙄

[chilly crescent]

Joke about how some ppl ACTUALLY think that pure vessal or nkg are good bosses 😭😭

Crazy

[fallen fern]

I was sweating while watching this
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=j873sMpA16Q

He looked like he was gonna die fr

[jaunty nacelle]

Prime ass piss because they are annoying

[jaunty nacelle]

Hardest boss

[acoustic summit]

FOUR K? You can capture all little nuances

[jovial hull]

Ahhh

Actually fk is pretty easy

Fk and MMC

[lethal iris]

[jovial hull]

Gruz mother and gorb are probably the worst

I’ve died to them countless times in runs

[lethal iris]

Worst boss is.... markoth

[jovial hull]

Talking about p1

Also worst as in hardest or worst designed?

[fallen fern]

Oh shit

I just remembered why I always die at the nail masters

[lethal iris]

Oh, mb

[fallen fern]

The boss that comes directly before it

The brooding mawler

[dusty radish]

D dark abuse

[jovial hull]

Mawlek is such an rng point for runs

[lethal iris]

I hate it because there is no floor in that bf

[jovial hull]

Cuz if you get bad rng you can’t fluke or they won’t multihit

Or you’ll just kinda die

[jovial hull]

Doesn’t mean the boss is bad. It’s the arena.

[lethal iris]

Yeah maybe but I just hate it

[fallen fern]

I'm on near max hp before nail masters at least

[dusty radish]

usually I just hit him until I have enough soul that I can spam D dark through his pellet phase then I continue to whack him when he shoots it all at once side and by then i can repeat the cycle

[jovial hull]

Yeah but that’s too slow for runners

[dusty radish]

if your speedrunning it's fair but generally he is not easy to die on

[fallen fern]

Well I died

At Oro and mato

As punishment imma fight radiant hornet rq

This is equivalent to the Kirby true arena

[chilly crescent]

Yo guys I actually 100% definitely truthfully beat p5 no spells all bindings no upgrades blindfolded one handed 💯💯

I’m actually the bestest player

I did it in 5 minutes also

I forgot to record tho

[fallen fern]

That's lame it with no hands

[chilly crescent]

Ok done

I used my toes

[fallen fern]

Now beat it in real life
Grab a cone and fight the sun

[dusty radish]

brb

[fallen fern]

I know it's called a nail grr

[dusty radish]

the sun kicked my ass I'm not posting that

[fallen fern]

I like how I'm gonna have to restart the entire game because I banished the Grimm troupe before I got all of the unbreakable items and beat nightmare Grimm 🙂
