master mode is a fun concept but the changes just don't really do very much to make the game more interesting outside of the first however long it takes to get off the plateau
Honestly totk could have been harder imo
Why is bro so cute
totk is an appropriate difficulty for a zelda game
Golden enemies tho 
basically just more health and cash on killing them
they are cool but not a big change
They're dumb af lol
I would've loved for that but it is a Zelda game 
But why are silvers actually intelligent but golds are about as smart as blues
Still, a difficulty increaser after beating the game would have been nice..
master mode is not a good hard mode
the difficulty increaser is doing stupid idiotic stuff and getting blown up
Someone knows if i watch regular show complete i will learn english totaly?
I don't think totk's mechanics would really allow for a hard mode other than like giving enemies more commonly elemental fused weapons
Idk about that but English content and practice is probably good for learning
Botws hard mode introduced "new" enemies like sky octoroks
Um i dont see a single connection between those two.. so no
NG+
those aren't really enemies strictly speaking
they could change up enemy layouts but like
the plateau lynel isn't good interesting difficulty
Watching stuff in english gets you more familiar with the language and will help you learn grammar and vocabulary
bad concept!!
Totk could get some new stuff that act differently, like a manhandla or something similar
relogic got lazy
If i watch regular show in english with english captions
Yeah but how would watching a english show improve ur english
we're not talking about terraria
I'd say go ahead
Ok
im at 111% and refuse to banish NGK. cant beat that one
botw master mode didn't add new enemies it added the flying platforms and the sky octoroks just exist to carry those, they can't fight you
Still I'd love a version that's harder as in smaller flurry frames and quicker Stamina drain
Regylar show boring unless ur watching it on tv
quicker stamina drain would just be annoying
😹
making flurry rush timing tighter would also be annoying and is pretty lazy as a hard mode
Regular show SUCKS tawog better 

Could also add better rewards like 5th armor upgrade idk
Though the frame in normal is gigantic
that's fine
What if for hardmode they reworked the healing system to actually make sense
that would have to be very different and I'm not sure what that would look like
Hunger bar, if it's full = no eating

that just means you have to sometimes wait before getting in a fight and that would also make food buffs annoying to budget around
Enemies drop hearts on death and you can hold like 7 meals that will heal you
chat is this real?
that could be fine but the fact that the speed boosting or heat/cold resistance meals you carry also often restore health will make that painful
I think that could be fixed by making them not heal you
or just not abide by the same rules although that would just lessen the problem
that would need a pretty significant rework of how cooking works
I don't think trying to make the totk combat hard is an important change or something that makes sense in the context of what the combat is there to be
totk is not a combat gauntlet
and totk does have controlled encounters in the forms of those shrines that take all your stuff
overworld fights being what they are is completely fine imo
What exploration aspects could be harderM
HOW IS THAT HARD?
I feel that just darkening everything isn't the way to go
IM PLAYING ON A RANDOMIZER
Just stand at bottom floor and jump hit repeat
i just dont want it to be completely trivial if you went to satori to stock up on apples
😭
it diesn't have to be
..
I PRAYED FOR TIMES LIKE THIS 🙏
zelda games aren't hard
what am i gonna do about the little babies she spawns
they take 4 hits to die
But what could be added as a difficulty increase
When they come at you stop jumping and kill them
true
not much could be
totk doesn't need to be harder
Staying at the ground floor is the way to do it
Randomizer moment
i mean it would still be not hard if they reworked the cooking system
Ever played zelda 2?
are you of the opinion that zelda 2 is representative of the series as a whole
because it's not
Custom Knight moment
certainly not modern zelda
zelda 2 is bad
is Zelda 2 what HK was ripping off
Totally
All metroidvanias are ripoffs of zelda 2
Yeah, and Zelda 1 ripped off HK (also Zelda 2 ripped off Zelda 1)
I GOT THIS FROM KILLING GORB
I don't really know where the 'hard is good' idea came from
🙏
bc easy is bad /j
Frustratingly hard is not fun, challenging hard is fun
not every game has to be challenging
🐊
This is why NKG is my pfp and not GPZ or Markoth /j
Certainly not, but games that have wide audiences could implement some type of difficulty meter
Lol
that is very unnecessary and doesn't make sense in a lot of types of games
sometimes that's not the point
also the idea of a difficulty meter as something that's universally applicable is flawed
But then casual gamers would be able to 100% some games :( /j
Often times its how engaged you are thats more important than how challenged you are
I like a mix of both though
But for totk specifically, the prequel had a bunch of those stuff. This game is good, I'm not complaining but a lot of people played a harder version and are then held in the hand a lot
if somebody is 100%ing something they aren't playing casually
I misread “engaged” as “enraged”
Shhh
Ngl the koroks are the real challenge there
master mode existed but also was pretty mediocre and its absence isn't a huge loss
I'm not sure I'd say botw is a harder game than totk they both take relatively similar approaches to a lot of things
although shit like gleeoks is probably harder than anything in botw
I dunno if TOTK is very hand holdey past the opening
its not anymore than botw at least
it has a bit more of an early game sequence but that's not hand holding
if I dont have easy bullet time for those guys its so over
Okay fine
But then casual gamers would be able to beat games :(
yeah 
or ultrahand monstrosities or something
Hyrule engineering goes crazy with those type of things
I saw a laser pulsar
I’m watching a video on the Grimm Troupe lore :3
Someone dropped the Lake Hylia one into the whirl pool with an ultrahand creation 
Atp totk is like a build-a-giant-death-machine simulator
I’m gonna charge my switch and finally finish playing TotK
you should the totk ending sequence is a complete 10/10 that shit is immaculate
No ultrahand dragon tho 0/10 😔 /j
second best ending sequence of any game I've played
Whats your fav
outer wilds

my personal favorite is the 2 1/2 hour wait sequence at the end of SH: MCD
Outer Wilds is great
I’m gonna get the DLC when it goes on sale
You know what it's time for now 
still makes me tear up if I think of it sometimes
when I'm trying to enjoy a video but they bring out the Outer Wilds OST
way to derail my train of thought 😔
More like absolute hell
the dlc is fantastic
I would say it has highs on par with the high points of the base game
do enough bindings and you can unlock lifeblood in p5
Do every binding in p1 and p2 and you'll get 3 lifeblood hearts for every bench room in p5
Or any 8 actually
Or 2 of each pantheon
Or 3 and 4
worst fight ever
Me when I hear OMORI music in a video:
Hm
also
I need HK reaction images
That you have beaten p1-p4
P5
yeah but its not fully open
Go up further to see what hitting that opened
In all pantheons I think
Correct
True but it's not really as useful imo
True
Tho I've never actually used lifeblood in p5 lol
it only matters in p5 
wait
do i still gotta do nkg in this pantheon tho i havent done it in the vanilla game
it should be in hog
awesome
All bosses in p5 except nosk, mantis lords, THK and radiance
im fine with that
Only once you banish
Dude
i want to have all 42 bosses in the pantheon
Does anyone have some good HK reaction images?
just making sure nkg is gonna be there even if i havent deafeated him
Can you imagine white defender 4 mask damage
Or even 5
white defender hella easy
Got that 5 streak in dung defenders home 
honestly
if im guessing the boss i will die to
its gonna be oro and mato or sisters of battle
im ass at multitasking
here we go
Oblobbles before SoB lol
If you don't stand in the middle between oro and mato you don't have to multitask
Ddark does all the work for you
miDdark
You may choose Sshadow or ddark
?tag noping
What is the name of the defender in English?
dung defender?

average dung defender fight
Real
Right, I knew it rhymed with drug
stunlocking ogrim with dive is very fun 10/10
Drug does not rhyme with dung
Ddark fr fr
Then a good old cyclone slaG
Both have a u and a g and a d
So? doing and going don't rhyme either yet share loads of letters
the codas are very different
?
the whatchamacallit of the thingamajig of the two doohickeys are very different
coda is the part of the syllable after the vowel
[g] vs [ŋ]
the fact that the words drug and dung both contain a g is more of a quirk of the writing system and how english writes that nasal sound
awesomesauce
i beat my expectations
Died to winged nosk?
For some reason elegy just shreds him
wow! whyyy
im on uumuu
How does one fully complete the game in steel soul ? Like I got a file with ||112%, the 164+4 journal entries completed, flower given to everyone, gathered every relic and geo rock, tiso in pantheons, AB in all pantheons, Mr.Mushroom, || what else is there for me to do ?
if you want the achievement it's by getting an ending
I got the ||Weathered Mask|| so I had to get GE
and I did TE too
I mean in terms of completion
(I also did all the ghostbusting Hallownest required)
wait do geo rocks and relics contribute to 112?
No
oh
That's what I'm saying im being completionist and idk what else there is to do
the last thing left would be hitless pantheons probably but if you have ab on all of them you won't be able to see the reward

hihi
now why would geo rocks contribute to 112
^
relics give money
geo rock give money
you can spend the money
so it wouldnt work
stuff that gives percent is permanent: boss completions, pantheons, upgrades, charms, etc.

😭
i honestly dislike how rng based absrad sometimes is considering you need like 40 minutes to get to her
because im practicing her rn and one time i beat her with full hp and the other time im dead before 3rd phase
i just have a slight feeling when it comes down to it ill get bad bad very bad absbad rng
like
its literally
one time
it aims the swords that go through the screen attack so fucking well that the best hk player wouldnt dodge them
and the next attempt it leaves the most obvious gap
a pig could jump over that bro
like im ong rn
What's your charm build for absrad?
ur not gonna like it but i dont use spells so:
unb heart unb strength quickslash mop
hmm
bro its not like im not beating her
I mean if you're good with it
yeah
it isnt
no because why did they slap reused assets set her attack delay time to less and then called it a day
how is it not
everything can be dodged everytime
sure
there is a large margin to.do so as well
u can heal multiple times during every attack
idk how u get that it is rng to begin with
:evilponder:
what do you mean lol rng doesnt necessarily have to mean its undodgeable
theres good rng and bad rng
like when it stacks some devious fucking attacks vs when it leaves the most obvious gaps through them
the rng element is when the attacks happen
even that doesnt exist
yeah whenever they spawn in
attacks only overlap if you let them
that isnt rng
thats u playing poorly
.
that isnt rng and that doesnt exist either
again, every attack can be dodged every time
Its RNG in the sense that she can choose a random attack
They aren't saying its undodgeable
idk if theyre saying that and if they are its meaningless (and it isnt rly true either)
dont be evilponder
💀
yea
u can reasonably know what attack will happen much before it does happen
bro
im not saying its done on purpose
but when it does the hardest attacks in a row and teleports to bad places
its just luck
not really
it is
WDYM NOT REALLY
💀
Its RNG = The boss can do some stuff randomly that will make your encounter with it harder but still doable
you actually would rather admit thatdead people can come back alive than side with me lol
sry bad spelling im mid attempt rn
its doable, but hard in certain cases
you can still, if you play correctly dodge and do lots of damage regardless of the attacks and teleport
idk where u get that conclusion
so okay. I just died 3 times in a row. And this time only got hit 3 times through the whole kill
bro
and its not the first time this happened
thats on u yeah
its on the LUCK
it could be avoided
you're literally calling him a skill issue
oh my god... i mean theres bad luck and good luck lol
if you blame deaths on luck then yes absolutely
Its about playing the cards you get right, the cards are still random
💀
Well AbsRad isn't entirely random but whatever
as you hardly improve if thats always the excuse for failure
welcome to episode three of broken hollow knight postures
i was gonna talk about traitor lords really bad neck hump but can we talk about this instead
in all fairness
Grimm is a dancer
HE LITERALLY BOWS TO HIS BACK
and regardless you can always dodge and capitalize on what happens
dont 🗿 me thats literally just true
does that mean he can lick his back or something
random means either good and bad but im talking about always getting bad
wait whata going on
Grimm is magic and his cloak does whatever he wants
just cheat
Grimm is him
Yes
grimm is just minding his own business
ok but can we talk about
bro has scoliosis 💀
man literally has thw worat poature after thk/pv
:((
THE WORST PART IS HE CAN STAND UP STRAIGHT
not as menacing
i might be wrong but how ELSE would he bow in 2d exactly? would you rather see his booty or some shit as he bows to the audience
traitor lord is just not just a dad. he is a grandpa with that posture
i mean still looking devious af ye
im just saying how he does not have bones
maybe he couldve turned around to face the knight and then bow so he wouldnt bow fucking BACKWARDS
only gruz have bones 
arent there only a few creatures that actually have bones in hk
again correct me if im wrong ig
I love his dream nail dialogue in godhome so much
but here it looks like he broke his back
"An honour seeker, to attend you call!"
im not mad i just find it funny
it adds so much world building honestly
ur mad
joker can we ban all grimm pfps
okay he mad geeked here icl
i have time so lets give this a couple tries (i wont be able to do it)
i usually wanna ascended before facing hard bosses but in this case.. 😭
good luck
thanks
New pfp just dropped
You don’t snap your spine in two when you bow? Strange
gg shell binding p5
was literally 1 shell near the end of the climb.
and did the rest without getting hit
Dang

Watch ok and millions of other Hollow Knight videos on Medal, the largest Game Clip Platform.
Watch Untitled and millions of other Hollow Knight videos on Medal, the largest Game Clip Platform.
thats just not the same fight
for the sake of the argument spend 1 min 30 secs watching both clips thanks
i watched less than 30 sec and u demonstrated exactly what i said
just watch both lmfao
look at the attack patterns
in the 1st shes on my ass and on the 2nd its like im fighting normal radiance
All bosses have a random pool of attacks they can draw from in the order they please
theres no way ur trynna ego me
yeah the fight varies everytime
YEP so going to my point it is luck based to some DECENT extent
that wasnt rly ever what i was arguing against
what is "it"
I BEAT PANTHEON OF HALLOWNEST WITH ALL BINDINGS
FUCKING FINALLY
IT WAS SO ANNOYING BRO 😭
even then not rly since u can know almost exactly what attack will be done beforehand

Aw, I have three pets (2 cats, 1 dog) and only 2 hands to pet them :(
truly a conundrum
also again u can dodge everything everytime so there isnt rly luck involved if u understand the fight a bit
Telegraphs are different from rng but thats whatever
that isnt what i mean :evilponder:
All at once?
alright did it ascended
Yes
Damn, nice
radiance can only do certain attacks depending on the number of teleports
but did you not see me struggling jumping around to dodge 4 fireballs as she spawns spikes beneath me? LIKE PLEASE im not even trying to argue that much atp
and
this time around
it stood still
for the ENTIRETY of 4th phase
i saw u not knowing how to dodge most attacks
like im being deadass
in the 2nd fight i cleared her tho?
and just finished her ascended
will u accept its not a skill issue if i beat her radiant
??
doable af
Nah
The boss can be harder depending on the attacks she makes and thats really where the discussion ends
no, that means nothing
so luck
Sure
alr
But whether or not you beat her is not dependent on luck
send evilponder
ok
🥺
omg thx star 😮
EVIL 👿 ponder
but would elegy be good in this fight since i can focus on dodging and not have to hit while jumping
radiant
not rlly
no
👍🏼
it decreases nail damage
steady body 
hm sure
Grubsong, gathering swarm
yw
take off MoP, then add in long nail, steady and sprintmaster, then ad back on MoP
Yeah best charming for radiant
okey
dont forget joni's blessing
real
cant forget shape of unn
Oh yes ofc
i cant have all of those so no sprintmaster
wait nvm
1sec im dumb
you can
Mmm that’s not entirely useless. Smaller hitbox
so i MAY have added dashmaster like a dumbass
COMPASS
FRRRR
bc if you think about it
how would i have found my way INTO hog without it?!?!?!
the fight wouldnt be possible.
WAYWARD
COMPASS
best charm in the game frrfr
anyone who's beaten rad absrad can confirm it
uhh do i just go for radiant absrad after p5 bc i feel like it will take me a long long time
nah
do rad absrad first
if your worried about time
its not gonna be easy. But alr
im not tbh
in that case do p5
I have moral qualms with ironically saying something is unironic
just gotta give it like atleast 5 tries just incase gods by my side on this fight
and i get the most insane LUCK
absrad All bindings radiant was fun
Do P5ab hitless
oh
Or at least AbsRad hitless
easy
I like looking at my pfp
I like looking at mine
nk is a fun boss
i kinda like looking at mine
fr
I like NKG
easy and fun radiant
Obviously
fr
my fav boss is PV
yeah we couldnt tell!!11!!!11 😜
I have yet to do NKG ascended
that was the first thing i did in godhome
its lihtwork freal
first thing I did was mantis lord radiant
I haven’t started working on RadHoG; I’ve been focused on P5
Lightwork no reaction
why
that boss is lowkey free
yeah
bro js swings
It took me. 10 hours. To beat fucking. Nkg. Pv. And radiance. in pantheon of hallownest. With all bindings.
My first radiant boss was Hornet 1
Pure Vessel is my fav boss
I feel you
i actually thought it was fun until yesterday's shennanigans
... you know
I recently did rad, nkg, and pv radiant AB
Still my favorite boss is nkg
Straight or allotted?
Somehow
Same
:((
i hate that i have to nail only bc i hate using spells so fucking much
why no me
I struggled with nkg
Then when I got used to it I struggled with pr
Then the same thing with radiance
like i swear why isnt there a charm that gives you more nail dmg but you cant use spells or one that makes you do less nail dmg but more spell dmg
I won
Who?
radiance is a she-
🫃
Real
criiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiinge
Whts y'all fav charm combo?
/j
MoP + Longnail
Defenders crest and glowing womb = exploding kids
mm yes
sigma build
heavy blow shape of unn jonis blessing deep focus and overcharm quick focus
I love exploding children
Mm yes
where tf is compass
Arson
not sigma
its a sigma build not alpha
Bro I have a infinite notch mod
Out if everything I could give myself
If you’re overcharming with deep focus you should not be overcharming
overcharm with DEEZ NUTS INSTEAD
I gave myself the grim child. The strong children. And exploding kids. I was so proud bro
I had an army of kids
fr
wdym
I love children
chat am I a fun boss?
unless ur radiant yep
😔
fun and relatively easy
It is always better to be not overcharmed w/o deep focus than to be overcharmed w/it
did you even look at the build
its obviously a joke build lol
I know
then|
Shhh
i said overcharm bc all of it is useless when i said jonis blessing..
yep
Am i
NOOOOOOOOOOOyou still don’t get pizza
whats ur fav hollow knight boss
Pure Vessel
Me or PV
?
Mantis Lord or radience
Damn
hmmmmm not the best but acceptable ur invitedf
Bro chose neither
I just died to Uumuu in P5 because the jellyfish wouldn't jellyfish 😭
i like nkg more
I would say Grimm bc the style but I hated the fight. It was just boring

why no one like me :((
bro the thing is
Bc
Your white
in absrad radiant i can really do it super easily
I like PV, it's another fun fight
nuh uh
i can do rlly easily

true


To the Geo mines you go @brisk oracle
FLOOOD
FLOOOOOOOD
@brisk oracle take this for your sorrows
:3
i was about to get to phase4 and then i jumped into the lightray 
'oo pretty flame'
ahh moment
shut up blud
hi British people
Kill the british
I SHALT REMOVE THY HEAD FROM THY NECK
Sentence them to fighting any radience 3.0
from thy neck*
YOU INCOMPETENT SCALLYWAG
I sentence you to fight any radience 3.0
i saw that.
alr done
bro aint so pure
Bro has NOT beat it
give me a challenge
Record yourself doing any radience 3.0 then
ugh i hate stage 4 of absrad
i just never know when to attack since i only have 1 life 😔
@brisk oracle help!
platform stage right?
y
bro the issue is that im 1 hit and idk when to attack
then when they are either next to you or on platforms left or right of you and attack then
bc what if it just fcking throws the sword circle at me

dodge
..
not that hard
watch the telegraphs 
ddark
bro do absrad radiant then
if ur gonna say 'dodge'
like GENUINELY
but yeah, if she's above you do a d dark
nail mains wondering why the boss is hard
:3
part of the reason u struggle
you get invincibility frames when you do it

Graig's a nail main so I'll let it pass
for .4 seconds
a lot of time in a high intensity boss
i just cant use spellssss
DDark is good for avoiding damage while putting pressure on the boss
and theyre too op anyway
please do
u can use spells u dont want to
ok then
😔 but then how can i tell ppl i beat absrad radiant with no spells!!!!!
(no i dont actually care about that)
i just cant use spells forreal
you just gotta get rlly lucky
you can't use spells because you ain't trying to use em 
u dont
its what ive done with rad nkg and pv so far
🗿
do u not believe in luck :ponder:
this channel makes me
too much
D1 opp
no such thing as too much :evilponder:
it can help, but it certainly isnt needed
bad.pfp 
but yeah
guys its time
HK fan when greeted with a good game with good designs
get lucky
ascended nkh=g
i mean ill definitely try my best
i love when it spawns 4 rows of blades that i have to double jump to go through
or shade dash
and all while theres like 2 fireballs leftover+ spikes on the ground ❤️
or practice the fight enough to understand it and make proper decisions 🙀
😍
what proper decisions
thats called doing the boss
like he is
you go to the boss wack it a bunch and ddark if its face starts glowing
i dont think its about practice anymore 1-3 and 6th phase ive mastered p much
(kinda)
if its far away you throw a shade soul at its forehead
drinking and driving
Yummers
mainly just positioning
omg is that homelander???
Radiance's face
"All on void!"
seriously, where?
eyes
and does the sword attack
i fight her bcs im not a pssy?
you can d dark
No its housefalling
During plats you probably want to stay in the two center platforms or the ones to the right and left of it
are u referring to this clip or no
Ah, listen, I'm sorry I beat you in tic tac toe when we were little
LMFAOO
The ones at the far edge of the arena (particularly the right one) are no man's land
what did i just see
the collector is so fucking annoying on p5 on charm binding. mostly because of not having quick slash lol
skill
not used to it at all
thats what you saw
Face dance ya
yeah fr, quickslash my beloved

You still owe me 5 dollars till that day
how is he not pogoing up tho
:ponder:
control
he?!
om whatever

how r they
i just pogo, turn around, slash, turn around, slash, use wings, repeat
its simple
wings :ponder:
He pogos once end proceeds to slash left and right 3 to 4 times and pogoing again
yeah this
also not he 🐊
yea, im not he 
nah really? 💀
nitro removing pronouns is evil

platforms lol
just dont play too agressive
take it easy
5 is the transition between nail rain and plats
but im gonna panic when push comes to shove ✅
just stick to the middle 4 platforms
you'll be fine
wdym
idk freal
ye im talking about 6
say the name of the phase so ppl dont get confused
ok but some people keep it as 6
theyre wrong
i should just give up and try this tomorrow
im fine with you saying there are 10 phases
but dont tell others theyre wrong for not saying it as well
ive only ever heard of 6 everytime ive heard phases mentioned
🗿
theres 10 phases; saying 6 is evilponder
bro i was shocked to see there was even '6' i only know the
- darkness rising
- platforms
- pogo final
where r there 10?
idk man
but yeah
you struggle on platform the most?
because im indecisive and i have to get rlly close
i provided the list!!
too close to tell what attack is coming sometimes
huh i missed it mb
and you're certain you wont use spells?
idk
idk when to give up
bc no spells is actually irritating
wym no spells are you doing soul binding
no, no spells is like being vegan
i think id rather deal with platforms phase (phase 6) as soon as possible rather than having to deal with it
with sbinding u can use 1
and like being vegan you have to miss out on the best thing ever (yogurt) 😔
just say the phase name, not the phase number
cant use soul products 😔
we dont know the damn names xd
true and by extension ayran...
yep 😔
nah but
i've never had ayran
some vegans are so annoying

i havent had yogurt in a while
its like liquid yogurt but its really good
frfr
i dont see the appeal 
greek yoghurt solos
I hope :pensivebear: is walking towards the EXIT because I don't tolerate yogurt haters
FR where r u from btw?
G G GREEK YOGURT !!?!?!?!??!!?!?!?!?!?
Mr Bean would solo Anyrad
i mean what else lol
i only enjoy my yogurts TURKISH
🇹🇷
