Sometimes the path of revenge is not an honorable one
but nevertheless
it is a path that must be walked

[alpine marsh]

[alpine marsh]

HK does like its bombs

Speaking of bombs, I’m making a mod for HK

[outer eagle]

that has bombs every corner

or

[solemn drum]

Just looked and I'm missing zote I think

[alpine marsh]

Oh it doesn’t have anything to do with bombs

[outer eagle]

every time you hit a enemy you get exploded

[outer eagle]

bad transition

[alpine marsh]

It was fine if you can read my mind

[solemn drum]

How do I even save zote?

[outer eagle]

i work my ass off making animations and i get 83 views

and these ppl that do the same thing gets millions

[solemn drum]

Uhh

[outer eagle]

https://www.youtube.com/shorts/t5q8mVMUAq4

its funny that it just RANDOMLY CUTS OFF https://www.youtube.com/shorts/fae3UaZ9fiY

[alpine marsh]

Anyways it adds a gamemode in which you must follow all Fifty-Seven Precepts of Zote, and the idea I had for Precept Twenty-Five: ‘Protect Your Own Weak Point’ was that you must not take double damage (overcharged doesn’t count. I mean from attacks that deal double damage) so that’s where the bombs tie in

[alpine marsh]

You go around

Oh apparently Zote doesn’t die in Deepnest

So you can still save him ig

[solemn drum]

Thank goodness

[pastel oracle]

goo

world of goo mentioned

[alpine marsh]

I guess he’s just wternally trapped there

[pastel oracle]

[alpine marsh]

Good game

Okay I’m tired and have to wake up in like, 3 hours so I’m gonna go to bed

gn y’all

[pastel oracle]

gn

[pastel oracle]

btw sequel drops in uhh 6 hours

[solemn drum]

Goodnight

[glossy plover]

Hi, im planning to play hollow knight soon, but, i heard someone saying that you can only play it with a controller, is that true? i only have a keyboard

[pure osprey]

That’s a lie

You can play it with either keyboard or controller

Heck you can play it with a mouse if the mouse had enough buttons on it

[glossy plover]

mine has 2 extras, idk what they're for

[pure osprey]

You can use those if you like

But no you don’t need a controller to play Hollow Knight

Keyboard works

Just fine

[glossy plover]

kk thx

[pure osprey]

Yw^^

[glossy plover]

but is it harder to beat the game with keyboard?

[pure osprey]

And if you ever need help with anything in-game #hk-help exists to help you without spoiling you

[pure osprey]

I’d say easier but it depends on your preferences

If you have always used a keyboard it’ll be easier on keyboard and same goes for controller

[glossy plover]

im fine with keyboard then

[glossy plover]

i thought that was help in-game

[pure osprey]

The go ahead and buy the game

[pure osprey]

It’s for anything related to the game except modding

[glossy plover]

imma get it for my bday

[pure osprey]

Alright then hf playing the game^^

[glossy plover]

thx

[onyx eagle]

August 2nd

[slate spire]

[pastel oracle]

wog2 so close i can feel it

[wooden sparrow]

Umm I accidentally deleted Carl bot messages anyone know how I can get em back

[onyx eagle]

You like closed dms or what

[rustic crypt]

I feel like this fandom has been left with no updates for so long that something I call the ✨undertale effect✨ has taken place- where the community slowly devolves to chaos and copious amounts of fanfiction and OCs
/lh Ily guys

[pastel oracle]

nah

i know what you're saying

but it hasn't really gotten to that point yet

[rustic crypt]

Yea ur right

[pastel oracle]

or maybe nothing could ever get to that extent...

[rustic crypt]

We’ll get gta6 before silksong

[pastel oracle]

maybe!

[slate spire]

TELL ME WHAT GIVE!

[rustic crypt]

If we get GTA6 before SS I’ll stream eating a piece of bread covered in just mustard

Culinary atrocities

[drowsy valley]

what

what is wrong with this silksong stuff

[dull oracle]

nothing there is nothing wrong

[drowsy valley]

confused confusion

[brave blaze]

guys

it might be over

https://www.macrumors.com/2024/07/31/logitech-forever-mouse/

[undone chasm]

Imagine paying a subscription for your mouse 💀

[slate spire]

😂😂😭

[dull oracle]

it looks ugly as hell as well

[alpine marsh]

There’s a sequel?

Hell, I haven’t beat the first one

[alpine marsh]

Couldn’t sleep, back here now

[dense flame]

why do i always get the weird bugs

[placid kiln]

When you accidentally breath the bathroom air after your dad just used it

[dense flame]

i have a few questions
the enemies in the patheons are the same as them in hall of gods right?

can i practice an enemy in the patheon in hall of gods with lets say attuned

would it be the same or would it be easier

or harder

would i need to do ascended instead

[slate spire]

yeah

just first difficulty is enough

unless you reached p5 which might be...

how was your progress so far beat p1?

[alpine marsh]

I accidentally did a superslide in a Pantheon fight (I think it was Lost Kin)

[alpine marsh]

Ascended is double damage

[dense flame]

i stopped pretty early yeaterday so i didnt progress but i can beat the rest of the pantheon hitless i think
so far im trying to study oro and mato in hog

ive beaten them once i wanna make it consistent until i go there

[slate spire]

oh you got there

by the way...

once you got the first one down dream nail them

for more soul in phase two

[dense flame]

i do

i can only dremnail them once tho

cuz then it goes to the animation

[slate spire]

try to dream both at the same time

[dense flame]

i dont wanna start the fight while being too close to them or inbetween them

cuz then contact damage

oh and how do you unlock the rest of hog?

[slate spire]

if you standed between them and ddark or just stood there they will both jump into you which a good way to shriek

[slate spire]

pantheons

[dense flame]

i tried that avtually

[dense flame]

no like the blocked off area to the right

[dense flame]

the problem is after i do ddark i take comtact damage

[slate spire]

probably shriek iirc

try to be in a position like this:

and then after shriek they will jump and then go left or dash away

it's risky tbh but good damage

[slate spire]

The upper one is a boss the one below you need to beat all the bosses

if you beat them all in the first difficulty the shape will change, if you did the 2nd difficulty the shape will change also the same goes for the last one.

[dense flame]

do i have to beat every boss on radiant to get there

[slate spire]

the shape of you inside or smth, i think the door will be unlocked if you got all the bosses or beat them all iirc

[slate spire]

nah

[dense flame]

just attuned then?

or in ascended

[slate spire]

just attuned

as i said doing them later with ascended will change the look of the thing inside

[slate spire]

.

[dense flame]

oh

[onyx eagle]

You ddark, wait a bit and then shade cloak

Thats rad consistent

[ionic sigil]

Imagine if fotf worked on radiant difficulty

[chrome echo]

oof

no

wait

wat

i dont think that word is allowed here

[pseudo quartz]

i am the PEAK of human evolution

you are just a stupid capybarnia

[chrome echo]

bro

[slate spire]

???

[pseudo quartz]

I could be doing so much more. But no, Vought just wants me to make my big pretty dives into the water and flash my fcking biceps for Instagram. I mean, sure, four million hits a day, but still, it's fcking demeaning.

[lusty pumice]

Is that supposed to be a game reference or what

[pseudo quartz]

https://tenor.com/view/homelander-homelander-the-boys-homelander-sad-homelander-its-peak-homelander-peak-gif-14542009839452529163

[chrome echo]

damn bro

[lusty pumice]

okay then

[slate spire]

what's wrong with you

are you alright?

[alpine marsh]

Why can I dreamnail Markoth’s corpse ._.

What will this do

[slate spire]

do it

[ashen wadi]

<@&283547423706447872>

[alpine marsh]

Ok

Is there an achievement for PoP?

[ashen wadi]

no

[alpine marsh]

Damn

I’ll try to beat it anyways

Later tho

[ashen wadi]

there's not really any reward but if you're interested you should give it a go

[alpine marsh]

Nothing happened

[ashen wadi]

I'm not sure I'd call it good but it can be fun

[slate spire]

yea see

nothing happened

pop could be fun if you like parkour

[alpine marsh]

Why did I even place a pin marker there

[lusty pumice]

The reward is lore

[ashen wadi]

maybe you put one there before you fought him idk

[alpine marsh]

Maybe

That’s possible

[ashen wadi]

or if you bought the warrior grave pins from iselda they're automatic and I don't know if they go away after fighting them

[alpine marsh]

Apparently with shade cloak a normal dash will still get you through the black walls

[alpine marsh]

I bought out her shop I think

[alpine marsh]

I have 14132 geo so idk why I wouldn’t have

idk if there’s anything I could still purchase

Maybe rancid eggs or smth

[ashen wadi]

there is a pretty big late game money sink but idk if you've unlocked it

[alpine marsh]

I'm pretty late-game

this is normal btw if that makes a difference

111% completion (missing P4)

[pure osprey]

The Grimm one?

[ashen wadi]

then idk if you've already done this but you can use divine to upgrade the fragile charms, it's not really that important but it's something to spend your cash on

[alpine marsh]

oh I have all three Unbreakables already

also I banished Grimm

[ashen wadi]

never mind then

[alpine marsh]

Yeah that one took some time

expensive as hell

I think I have so much bc I'm so late game that there's nothing to purchase (that I can think of)

maybe rancid eggs from Tuk ig

tho I only die in dreams atp

and if I do die, it's not much hassle to regain my shade

[ashen wadi]

even the rancid eggs max out

[junior ocean]

[alpine marsh]

I know that bc I watched the Skurry speedrun

[pure osprey]

I wonder if Steel Soul is canon or is Classic canon

[junior ocean]

both are

[ashen wadi]

it depends on what you mean by the question

[muted jasper]

[pure osprey]

Which one is canon

[muted jasper]

That's kinda vague.

[pure osprey]

Like does Jiji exist or does Jinn exist

[junior ocean]

hkofftopic is the 2nd lore channel

[muted jasper]

Both exist.

[ashen wadi]

the respawn mechanic is not canon in normal mode and that's really the main difference.

[pure osprey]

Or is Tuk dead or not

[muted jasper]

They're both in the Wanderer's Journal.

[junior ocean]

he could or couldnt be

[pure osprey]

Wait we can read them?

[midnight oasis]

steel soul is a canon timeline where tuk got infected

[valid falcon]

Quantum superposition

[muted jasper]

No it's an actual book.

[pure osprey]

That’s how every ending is canon

[pure osprey]

Ohh

That wanderer’s Journal

[muted jasper]

[midnight oasis]

The canon ending is etv

[ashen wadi]

blocked

[pure osprey]

Canon ending is that Hollow Knight doesn’t exist

And we are all having a dream abt a cool game

[muted jasper]

Hmm considering the amount of infection in Hollow Knight and the fact that it is burning I would say it is rather far from "cool"...

Although the "burn" is likely not actual heat. Though... spells do burn, and hitting infected balloons give off Soul...

[upbeat ether]

I didn't even think about how infection is described as "burning"

[muted jasper]

While Pale Ore is chill.

[upbeat ether]

Having a shit ton of infection inside of you, let alone, containing the entire radiance inside of you must feel like hell

[midnight oasis]

you think the shamans cooked stuff with soul

[junior ocean]

[alpine marsh]

what's etv

[muted jasper]

Mhhh good snail 😋

[upbeat ether]

New headcanon unlocked

[midnight oasis]

maybe they farmed the baldurs as livestock

[brave herald]

Yo. Do you guys think this is a good tier list?

[midnight oasis]

All of them should be at the bottom

[brave herald]

Don't mind the grammatical mistake for the bottom one. Just imagine that there is a comma after the 'you'.

[upbeat ether]

I love how there's no mid grubs

[brave herald]

Eh. All of them are fine, they've done nothing wrong. The bottom dude still owes me 50 geo, the jerk.

[midnight oasis]

Every grub is the same

[brave herald]

None shall be mid.

[midnight oasis]

They whine and ruin the peaceful and captivating atmostphere of Hallownest

[upbeat ether]

They're babies stuck in jars of course they would whine

[midnight oasis]

Why don't they just break the glass? Are they stupid?

[alpine marsh]

Y’all do you need dash to get ddive

Yes, right?

[midnight oasis]

Thats really not my problem

[brave herald]

But their cute. Plus, they we're forced to be in the jars and they are also babies.

[midnight oasis]

They can get out

Baby smart enough to tunnel through rock and get back home baby smart enough to break glass

[brave herald]

I care for them. Except that bottom grub. That grub can go through every form of torture for stealing my 50 geo.

[brave herald]

Glass is different material made from different compounds. Totally different. Bad comparison.

[midnight oasis]

That doesn't matter

[brave herald]

Opinion invalidated

[midnight oasis]

Glass is more fragile

[brave herald]

https://tenor.com/view/trash-bad-opinion-opinion-your-opinion-garbage-gif-17590825021864202366

[midnight oasis]

TK can break it with a nail swing

[upbeat ether]

You're not funny for badmouthing grubs

[midnight oasis]

it can't break the ground

[brave herald]

So? Nails are made from metal. Grubs aren't made out of metal.

[midnight oasis]

Im not trying to be funny I just dont like the mfs

[midnight oasis]

TK can swing through glass but not the ground

The glass is more fragile than the ground and the grubs can tunnel through the ground therefore they can tunnel through glass

[brave herald]

Perhaps Pale Ore can't break stone but can break glass. Grubs can't break glass but can dig through stone. If we give a grub a pale ore, it'll be unstoppable.

New god = Grub with a Pale Ore.

[midnight oasis]

Its nail doesn't have pale ore in it originally

[junior ocean]

the grubs dont break glass because theyre feigning weakness for attention

[half halo]

Attention seekers.

[junior ocean]

yes

[solemn drum]

Ello

[brave herald]

Oh...

Lemme fix the tier list then

[midnight oasis]

Would you rather have dinner with a grub or elderbug

[brave herald]

Okay, there we go. Here's the ACTUAL revamped version with the new information that has been brought to my attention.

[delicate badge]

[upbeat ether]

Maggots deserve rights

[lusty pumice]

To the degree of jumping to a room right after a tiny knight goes inside of a room and then tries to kill that tiny knight?

[upbeat ether]

The false knight was infected and also super paranoid + trying to protect his bros

[dense flame]

i come with a sudden realization
has anyone realized how thk has a really bad neck hump

[lusty pumice]

Understandable

[upbeat ether]

To be fair, Pure Vessel has marginally better posture

[dense flame]

i mean

they probably looked down for several hundred years or so

like

i can see it

[upbeat ether]

Not to mention they were literally chained up

[dense flame]

THE BAD POSTURE IS STILL THERE

[upbeat ether]

They are staggered

[lusty pumice]

I guess it’s just a tall people problem

[dense flame]

i wonder what happened to their arm

like sure infection but

who the fuck cut off that arm

did it cut itself off

[upbeat ether]

When non staggered their posture is a little better

[half halo]

It rotted away.

[dense flame]

it's still bad

maybe that's just

vessel anatomy

[lusty pumice]

Wait, so void can rot like organic stuff (flesh)?

[dense flame]

you're just supposed to have a really bad neck hump

[half halo]

Well, it was contaminated by the Infection. So, in this case, yes.

[dense flame]

your head is supposed to be at the same height as your shoulders

[lusty pumice]

okay

[dense flame]

it's just vessel anatomy

[upbeat ether]

Pure vessel is already my favorite boss, but could you imagine if they kept that cool cape and/or the Armor when you fought them?

[dense flame]

not void i think infection

but then again what happened to all those corpses

which

still are infected

[dense flame]

that'd be so much cooler i'm ngl

[half halo]

That's actually the chain hooks that keep THK constrained in the Black Egg.

[dense flame]

i wanna see that

[lusty pumice]

I think the armour slows them down

[upbeat ether]

REAL

[dense flame]

wait then

then what's the purpose of the armor

[upbeat ether]

Should at least keep the cape, then

[dense flame]

i mean

[lusty pumice]

Style

[dense flame]

why even wear it in the first place if you're not gonna fight with it

fair

[lusty pumice]

yea

[dense flame]

very fair.

[half halo]

It's not armour.

[midnight oasis]

Its a harness

[dense flame]

if you think about it kin has horrible posture too

maybe all vessels are meant to have terrible posture

[half halo]

BV is literally dead, give them a fucking break.

[dense flame]

shhhhh

[midnight oasis]

TK's posture is great

truly the peak vessel

[dense flame]

real

born of god and proper posture

[slate spire]

howdy raincloud

[west mantle]

True, he just looks like a stickbug when you fight him

[midnight oasis]

tc after drawing 3 stick figures and calling it a day for the character design

[west mantle]

After giving him a cool ass design too

[hot dune]

Not again

[west mantle]

What does this mean

[hot dune]

Everything

[dense flame]

hi

[slate spire]

Howdy

got any progress yet?

[bronze acorn]

The people demand answers

[alpine marsh]

I BEAT P4

[brave blaze]

your elemental power is

green

[brave blaze]

hooray!!!!!

[hot dune]

Yippee

Summum is slaughtering me tho fr

[umbral bluff]

My little ones are enjoying the swim

[hot dune]

Waterboarding 100

[brave blaze]

theyre just trying to escape the smell

[hot dune]

I guess whatever works

[brave blaze]

[west mantle]

It gives more soul?

[brave blaze]

[dense flame]

108%

im so close guys

[brave blaze]

[slate spire]

Yayyyy!

good luck!

[dense flame]

why are there two circles inder main bosses in hall of gods
do you have to beat them two times

[west mantle]

Flower quest, P3, P4 and 2400 escense?

[dense flame]

nah, colo 3 and patheoms 2-4

[west mantle]

Ughh

[brave blaze]

[west mantle]

Attuned is normal boss, ascended is damage x2 and the last, radiant is no hits allowed

[dense flame]

no no

mot that

there are two ciecles

under

[brave blaze]

dreamnail it

or

hit it

[dense flame]

like false knight or hornet or broken vessel

or grimm

[west mantle]

What

[dense flame]

in hall of gods

[brave blaze]

dreamnail !!

[dense flame]

OH

OOOOHHHH

[brave blaze]

[dense flame]

so THATS where the dream variants are

[brave blaze]

correctamundo compadre

[dense flame]

ahhh i see

[brave blaze]

yeehaw

[west mantle]

Huh

[brave blaze]

https://tenor.com/view/hollow-knight-gif-1367789729691237610

[plucky eagle]

yep
(also if you go for rad/asc watchers you can use this paired with flukenest and shamans to actually just destroy them)

[dense flame]

is radiant the samw difficulity as ascended except you do it hitless

i know ascended is harder than attuned

[brave blaze]

looking at flukemarm after reading the journal entry is a life changing experience

[plucky eagle]

well
i haven’t done that yet

[dense flame]

[brave blaze]

flukemarm is utterly terrifying

[dense flame]

i showed my friend who doesnt play hollow knight flukemarm and he was like "ew what the actual FUCK is that"

[brave blaze]

AND THEN THE

THE JOURNAL ENTRY

LIKE

NOOOOOOOO

[alpine marsh]

Okay I got to the first bench in P5

Yo

Wow, who knew Xero was so difficult when the floor is missing?

[alpine marsh]

“An insatiable breeder. Has populated the Waterways with its kind. Its insides double as a nest for you Flukefeys.”

“The desire to breed, to leave behind a memory of ourselves in the shape of a child… it seems to be etched deep into the heart of every living creature. I too have felt the pull of that base instinct.”

Just figured I’d force y’all to suffer reading it to

[brave blaze]

[plucky eagle]

[alpine marsh]

hey carrot

did you get lemons

can the speedrun achievements reasonably be done just by doing the intended route?

[steel wyvern]

new knight

[plucky eagle]

i mean you have plenty of time for the speedrun achievements
idrk what you mean by intended route but probably

[alpine marsh]

like, not using skips. speedruns don't use monarch wings bc they aren't needed to beat the game, but you're supposed to use them to beat the game

What even is Godseeker mode

is it any different than Godhome?

[plucky eagle]

nope it just puts you straight into godhome (you can’t leave) so you can just do that whenever

[alpine marsh]

oh

eh I just keep my dreamgate in Junk Pit

I won't bother making a Godseeker save

at least for now

[plucky eagle]

also wait i genuinely forget where do you need to use wings to beat the game normally lol ??
but also yeah you’ll probably be fine
i managed to just barely get both achievements at the same time (it was like a 4:58 or smth) and i grabbed a lot of extra stuff

[bronze acorn]

White Palace

[alpine marsh]

alr I'm gonna attempt the speedrun achievements soon. I'll get 3 achievements at once (speedrun 1, 2, and The Hollow Knight)

[alpine marsh]

you're supposed to use it to get to Lurien I think

[plucky eagle]

ohhh yeah

[alpine marsh]

but there's objects or enemies to pogo off of every place it would be needed

[plucky eagle]

yeah you only need to use it once, there’s a background object you can pogo
rest of that area doesn’t need it

[alpine marsh]

also to get to Hornet 2 I think but I don't think that's needed for any%

[alpine marsh]

yeah I'm just gonna go straight for the goals

[plucky eagle]

alright

[alpine marsh]

after beating P4 I have confidence in my ability to beat HK a little underpowered (I'll still get at least one nail upgrade tho)

I'll get 2 if I happen upon a pale ore

[tawny prawn]

what spell would be the most useful in day-to-day life

[alpine marsh]

from HK?

[tawny prawn]

yes

[alpine marsh]

are the upgraded versions considered separate options?

[tawny prawn]

no

because i dont think most people would be using the spells for damage

[alpine marsh]

is focus included

[tawny prawn]

no but you get to use the spells for free

so you dont gotta kill people

to use 1 ddark

[alpine marsh]

shade soul phases through walls but VS doesn't

[tawny prawn]

i dont see a use for that other than harming

[alpine marsh]

and you see a use for the spell itself??

what use??

[tawny prawn]

fireball skips irl

[plucky eagle]

so true

i wanna do a stallball irl

[alpine marsh]

no--

[tawny prawn]

yes

[alpine marsh]

that's not--

what

[tawny prawn]

anyways i think d dark would be the most convienent for people that work high up because it might negate the death penalty from falling off a building

like construction workers

imagine accidentally using it on a plane somehow and you just soar into the ground

oh yeah and ig everyone else would be pulled through the hole

[alpine marsh]

what's the use for VS tho

[tawny prawn]

fireball skips

specially since you got infinite

[alpine marsh]

oh I meant wraiths

[tawny prawn]

if there's debris on top of you under a collapsed building

and you can scream the debris off of you

[hot dune]

Karens in Walmart would be op

[pure osprey]

Infinite double jump

[tawny prawn]

yeah well i dont think anyone here is a walmart karen

[hot dune]

You never know

[tawny prawn]

this game im playin fire, forgor what its called tho

[hot dune]

Describe it in 10 words

[midnight oasis]

is there something wrong with being named karen

[tawny prawn]

uhh you should be able to see it on my profile, i have activity on

[hot dune]

Probably

[midnight oasis]

rude

[hot dune]

Ohhh

[hot dune]

Indeed

[lethal stag]

Frick em shade skips if I had a shade imma be doin this all the time

[vestal finch]

im gonna fucking cry

on my second savefile, I was incredibly close to beating Absrad (P5) but died because my d key decided to say fuck you and be Unresponsive

[valid escarp]

d dark easily

not even a question

imagine just being invincible for a bit

and if you think abt it

since fall dmg exists in real life and not in hollow knight

and things that damage you during d dark phase thru you

you can phase thru walls and floors with d dark

[rustic crypt]

Ima just rant for a bit so here’s my headcanons for the royal duo

Hornet:
Can hold her breath for a while
Anger issues
ADHD of some variety
Misophonia

Hollow:
Nonverbal
Eternally eepy
Big baby
Pacifist

[prisma crown]

Why deepnest so scary bro 😭

Got my timbers shivering

[upbeat ether]

Hollow knight gibberish is legit part of my vocal stims

[dense flame]

why is p2 easier than p1

[wheat violet]

zwup

[alpine marsh]

no?? you don't have nail and you can't pogo irl. you only get the spell; not the other mechanics

[dense mica]

dung defender moment

[dense flame]

hehehehehe

colo 3 and p3-4 left

[pure osprey]

Noooo

[dense mica]

colo 3 is simple go in with a max spell build

[midnight oasis]

I can pogo irl

Im trained with a sword

[dense flame]

any tips??? cuz i usually went in with a nail build

i used nail arts for the flying enemies bc great slash can oneshot primal aspits

[dense mica]

there's a lot of sections with little ground to stand on, so you'll be abusing nail arts to one shot the armored squits and primal aspids alot

[dense flame]

yeah

[dense mica]

there's a fakeout segment where two heavies will ambush you and then the game spawns a fuck ton of the divebombing bomb bats

[dense flame]

by telling me to go for a spell build are you saying i should use shade soul instead

[dense flame]

the ones that explode and deal 2 masks of damage right

i just stand on the wall at that part

[dense mica]

shade soul to kill the flyers, DDark to abuse i-frames against the tankier grounded foes

yeah stick to the wall then

[dense flame]

okok

what charms

[dense mica]

Shaman Stone, Spell Twister, Soul Eater, Quick Slash

Shaman stone also increases spell hitboxes along with the damage buff

[dense flame]

no unbreakable stength?

[dense mica]

so hitting enemies is far less a game of precision

spells just kill enemies faster in my experience and even with Pure Nail + UB, crowd control in the colosseum trumps single target output by a lot

[dense flame]

i did NOT know that

[solemn drum]

Ello

[dense flame]

why quick slash then
for more soul?

[dense mica]

yeah

soul gen with nail benefits from slash speed, damage doesn't affect soul generation

[dense flame]

instead of using great slash i just shoot the squits and aspits with shade soul?

[dense mica]

you can still use GS to instakill them

even w/o UbS

[dense flame]

true

ok ty im gonna try

wait

th,is overcharms by one notch

[dense mica]

also the mantis enemies from QG show up halfway through so be wary of those assholes

wait do you not have every charm notch

[dense flame]

no i do

soul eater costs 4 charm notches

qs costs 3

[dense mica]

you can drop QS for NG then

[solemn drum]

Yall talking about the coliseum?

[dense flame]

colo 3 yeah

[dense mica]

get up great slash more for the flying enemy quick kills

[ashen wadi]

you don't need soul eater

[solemn drum]

I Literally.
Did that yesterday

[ashen wadi]

if you're worried aboud having enough soul use dream wielder or something

[dense flame]

why dont i just go soul catcher grubsong and quickslash

[dense mica]

you could do that too

[dense flame]

okok

im gonna try

[dense flame]

isnt it called colosseum?

i see so many people call it coliseum but i always remember it as colosseum

[dense mica]

either spelling is applicable

[solemn drum]

The build I recommend is glory, mop, dream wielder,
Heart, weaver song, grubsong, steady

Though I used a different build than this I did test it and it's pretty good

[dense flame]

so i got pretty far

i died

at the no floor part

because fuck everything

[solemn drum]

Oh well if you want you could take out steady and dream wielder in place of grimmchild, (that's the build I used to beat it)

I know grimmchild isn't that useful but for the no floor part it was absolutely necessary for me (you may be different)

[dense flame]

no it might be

lemme try itü

letting other companions or whatever theyre called is harder for me than actually doing it myself if im being honest

[paper vapor]

only shade soul's hitboxes increase but yes

[solemn drum]

Also, when you make it to the God.Tamer section just sit in the very top using crystal heart and don't do anything.Let the weavers do everything for you don't go down

[midnight oasis]

september 12th*

[dense flame]

what did you do for the trial??? like you cant just stay at top because flying enemies, do you just focus on dodging everything and not do anything?

[solemn drum]

I mostly stayed at the top.Drop down occasionally when I had my nail art charged and almost everything is either one shot or two shot

Sorry for the late response

[dense flame]

but they hit you regardless?

because they fly

top of which wall

[solemn drum]

Yeah

Though they.
're only two hit with neil arts So if you stay cautious Stay near the walls.Charge up nail arts only go down to hit them and then go all the way back up.Don't try to hit more and always remember you can pogo off the spikes

And grim will always be doing damage for you

And you'll get soul from the spiders

Just did it again for the 3 time yeah this setup works pretty well

[wet arrow]

What is everyone's preferred Nail Art.

[solemn drum]

Great slash for me

It goes through walls

And does 3 times dmg I think

What bout you?

[wet arrow]

I like the dash because it is useful if you have shade cloak

[midnight oasis]

I don't have a preferred nail art because they all have their different use cases

[solemn drum]

Dash has style points

[wet arrow]

Sertanly does

[solemn drum]

Sharp shadow + dashmaster + dash art = cool and effective

[wet arrow]

My favorite nail Master is Oro or Sheo

[wet arrow]

That's how I killed Nkg

[solemn drum]

Sheo is the best painting is fun

[latent cedar]

I love great slash cus big damage🔥 (i barely use nail arts though)

[wet arrow]

Nail spam or spells

[latent cedar]

Usually nail spam unless i find a opportunity to unleash spells

[wet arrow]

Personally I love descending dark

[solemn drum]

Why are you defending the darkness???

[wet arrow]

You've heard of Dung Defender get ready for Dark Defender

It's just batman

[latent cedar]

Ddark free iframes

[wet arrow]

I have a hot take

Wayward campus is mid

I like getting lost and finding my way

[latent cedar]

Cold take

[solemn drum]

BLASPHEMY... but fair

[wet arrow]

Half the time I have no idea where I am

And that's the way it should be

[solemn drum]

My sense of direction in this game is worse than zoros

[wet arrow]

Also the extra slot gives me room to make the soul catcher into shaman stone

[solemn drum]

How many notches do you have?

[wet arrow]

All

[latent cedar]

HK structure is not that bad to get lost unless deepnest

[wet arrow]

Void heart is S tier though

Takes up no slots

[latent cedar]

I have to use a full rendered map from online cus i dont want to deal with deepnest.

[solemn drum]

Deepnest is kinda fun , bc everywhere is certain death and spiders are skittering all over

[wet arrow]

Giant enemy spider

[latent cedar]

I just hate the distorting structure of deepnest

[solemn drum]

Fair enough, it's quite a challenging terrain

[latent cedar]

The mobs are so easy to kill anyways (not primal aspid😨)

[brave blaze]

who would have guessed

transferring your phone number from two different cell providers

is a pain in the fucking ass

dude how long have they put me on hold for????

[teal trout]

i dont know why i havent told yall this yet but a few days ago i had a dream where the pure vessel pulled out two guns and started blasting
they were also like guns you would usually hold with two hands and he was just holding two of them both one-handed

[brave blaze]

oh finally

I'm giving this woman on my support the cold hard truth

"I don't want your fucking plan"

[wet arrow]

Rattle 'em boys!

Do you think the hollow knight would have worked if he had a gun instead of a great nail

[jolly mauve]

how do i eat the crystals in the crystal area

[alpine marsh]

holy shit that one guy wasn't lying; there rly is a World of Goo sequel

[wet arrow]

Is the knights mouth on the top of their head?

[brave blaze]

the knight doesnt have mouth

only eye socket

[junior ocean]

it does

[brave blaze]

nuh uh

[alpine marsh]

Actually, it doesn’t have eyes. Those are mouths. /j

[brave blaze]

why is the shaman stone

[alpine marsh]

Just, at all?

[wet arrow]

The knight's dad is the Wyrm and his mouth is his crown like how you walk in his mouth to get the king's brand

[midnight oasis]

Deviator is out 😌

[alpine marsh]

Oh I never realized that

Cool detail

[junior ocean]

no it isnt

[junior ocean]

[midnight oasis]

that may not be the case for his second form which the vessels have genetics from

[wet arrow]

All other bugs with horns have mouths except the king's children so is it there mouths

[junior ocean]

hopping rn

[brave blaze]

is it any good?

actually no

dont tell

how much is it

[junior ocean]

deviator is peak

[midnight oasis]

i haven't played but given that its a metroidvania I wouldn't bet on it being anything great

[brave blaze]

shitty ahh graphics

[alpine marsh]

I headcanon that vessels have mouths on the top of their head

[brave blaze]

its the game inbetween silksong

[midnight oasis]

probably gonna get POPtlc anyways

[brave blaze]

i thought you misspelled nice

then i saw it

hunter fight in deviator real

i might just get the game for sillies

[midnight oasis]

The hunter bossfight is really good

I got a sub minute time on it during the boss challenge as well

[brave blaze]

i honestly really like the player design and overall aesthetic of the attacks and stuffs

that blue is very very nice

[midnight oasis]

its a decent looking game

from the trailers the line art seems inconsistent though

[scenic frost]

I like the parry but holy shit it could be so much better

Add some visual flare like sekiro does

[brave blaze]

thats what youll find with stuff like this

[midnight oasis]

sekiro parry was so good

[brave blaze]

i love parrying mechanics

[scenic frost]

And a good sound effect

[brave blaze]

bro

STEAM

I SWEAR TO FUCKING GOD

[scenic frost]

It was so satisfying because of the sound design and visuals

Deviator needs more of that

[placid kiln]

Is dream shield good?
I just found it

[wet arrow]

No

[placid kiln]

Ah kk

[midnight oasis]

dream shield does your nail damage every like 5 seconds assuming it hits your enemies which isn't great for 3 notches

[undone chasm]

That's all bad and all but the real detriment is the sound

Is the sound not ass cancer inducing

[brave blaze]

i just finessed that entire fucking level

[wet arrow]

I just opened up your bio...

good thing I have counter spells

[brave blaze]

review so far: deviator is a solid game for the price, the bosses sometimes feel a little clunky but the parrying is cool (when it works) , i think its worthwhile in the future when they hash out any issues

[mellow anchor]

looks like a pretty cool game so far tbh, heard it's not very functional on steam deck though so might wait

[opal igloo]

[placid kiln]

Just beat ||broken vessel|| and got ||monarch wings||
Spoilers bc
Spoilets

[severe viper]

Hello

Idk how to feel about this

I just finished ||Path of Pain||

Why do I feel so empty

[brave blaze]

how do i get access to the vc channels?

[misty pike]

The first of many, many, MANY sawblades

https://tenor.com/view/indanger-im-gif-18156229

fr tho I love WP it's one of my fav areas

[ashen wadi]

it would feel less out of place mechanically if the game had even just a little bit more platforming in general

[severe viper]

oh my, good luck

[misty pike]

thx m8

[severe viper]

no prob

[brazen wadi]

How do you do? Fellow hallownest dwellers?

[severe viper]

Trying so hard to fill the void in my heart, it hasn't gone well

The more I play the more I crave

[brazen wadi]

Why so? What poured the void in your heart 💀

[severe viper]

||Dream No More Ending||

I felt so acomplished in the moment and then I was like "oh well damn I just did it"

Then I fought again and won

Now I'm trying the pantheons 👍

I know you didn't ask but thought I'd get it out of my sistem

[brazen wadi]

Pantheons are kinda pain in the ass, but worth it. In my opinion, of course

especially 4th and 5th

Real dickhead type of content, but you love it more after time... Like your first relationship IRL xD

[severe viper]

I just finished Patheon 1 and 2 in like 16 minutes

I was hoping to take like 2 days or smth

I'm afraid of burning out all the content of the game 😭

[severe viper]

As a person who has never had a relationship, I can halfway relate

[brazen wadi]

my favourite boss is from pantheon 4th

[severe viper]

I still can't believe my first playthrough took me like 80 hrs and I didn't even get ||true ending||

I still miss getting lost on the map

[severe viper]

Mine is somewhere between Mantis Lords and Grimm

I like the pattern you can set into

[plucky eagle]

Anyone know how to get up there?

[brave blaze]

lets goooo solid sub 2:30 speedrun to get the 2 speedrun achievements

[rustic crescent]

Anyone?

[brave blaze]

you need to go through the other side

i shant elaborate further

[brave blaze]

also i recommend asking in #hk-help for the future

and read the rules for spoilers

[rustic crescent]

Thanks, and I got someone else helping me rn

[brave blaze]

guys

[rustic crescent]

I have love-hate this for this game

[rustic crescent]

?

[brave blaze]

play the game

[solemn drum]

Yeah?

[brave blaze]

[brave blaze]

wanna see a frog

[solemn drum]

Sure

[rustic crescent]

Awww

[solemn drum]

Cute

[south drift]

Feeling like a roast battle

[south drift]

Nice

[rustic crescent]

I kinda still need help if you don’t mind (sorry if I sound rude)

[solemn drum]

You don't

[brave blaze]

you shoulx play the game and explore instead of asking for help

[solemn drum]

it's easier just to go back the way you came and go down and left that's all ill say

[rustic crescent]

I’ve been trying for like three days.

[rustic crescent]

Is there like a false wall?

[brave blaze]

idk maybe theres an ability or something you need to get or a different way you need to go you havent gone

[brave blaze]

some people need help man theres no shame in that

[south drift]

Wdym

[brave blaze]

asking for help in a tough game is always an option

[south drift]

K

[brave blaze]

obviously preferrably youd figure it out on your own, but if youre stuck bad like pop tart is theres no wrong in doing so

[rustic crescent]

I’m still so confused😭

[brave blaze]

yeah for things like getting all the grubs and stuff but having to get help to go somewhere thats clearly very easy to figure out just by looking at the map and taking clues

is just

again, theres no shame in needing help in a hard ass game

[rustic crescent]

I’ve been doing that, I’ve had no luck

Idk if I’m blind or what

I just can’t find it

[brave blaze]

show map rq

[brave blaze]

that path you were looking at cannot be accessible until youve accessed an area you havent BEEN to yet

its a shortcut

you have to first make your way to said area

i actually forgot what area that was

[brave blaze]

||queens gardens||

[rustic crescent]

omg.

[brave blaze]

isnt that greenpath though?

[rustic crescent]

I’m so dumb.

[brave blaze]

thought you couldnt go there from greenpath

[brave blaze]

that shortcut in the screenshot leads there

oh wait

[solemn drum]

Ye

[brave blaze]

let me look at hk map again hold on

but you have to first go to ||queens|| to get to it

oh

yeah

i havent played overworld in awhile im dumb

[rustic crescent]

||a||

[brave blaze]

😭

[rustic crescent]

It works

[brave blaze]

i remember my first playthrough that little path made me so confused lmao

off topic but i decided to reset my achievements on hk on steam so im redoing all 60 something of them

[rustic crescent]

||so do I need the shade cloak to access the queens gardens||

[brave blaze]

i started with the speedrun 1 and 2 and completed the game in around 2:30

[brave blaze]

did you seriously search it up

[brave blaze]

uhhhh i dont think so?

[solemn drum]

Do you?

I don't think you do

[brave blaze]

also you dont need to spoil things in hk offtopic, i just did incase you didnt want a spoiler of the area

[rustic crescent]

Kk

[brave blaze]

this reminds me of this reddit post

[solemn drum]

I sometimes wonder why the person that made that post even plays the game 🤔

[brave blaze]

[solemn drum]

Rn the main problem is finding what I need to kill

i already have 23% completion in 2:17 so i think i can probably get atleast 100 for the speedy completion

i just need to find out what the easiest percentages are

[brave blaze]

tbh it isnt that hard to get the achievement

i got 112% in under 20 hours

on steel soul run
