RAT

[vernal mirage]

Bottled*

[reef patio]

Especially since I quit last year and returned a year later

[foggy plinth]

DAMN MOUSE

can you beat the game with myla being completely ok because nothing bad happens to her

[vernal mirage]

Just don’t get cdash

[foggy plinth]

simple enough

[soft kraken]

isnt there a miner speedrun

where you speedrun killing every miner in the game

except they count menderbug

[vernal mirage]

Minor speedrun?

[foggy plinth]

i forgot that the word minor existed

[warm lichen]

is this a better pfp? or should i keep the silly one

[serene sundial]

Insanely impressive!!

[serene sundial]

I like the one you have now!

[rancid charm]

how would the knight and hornet eat a waffle

[midnight oasis]

Ideally they don't and eat a pancake or crepe instead

[rancid charm]

the masks don't have openings exept for the eyes

would they have to become a shade to eat it?

[midnight oasis]

Vessels can just slide food into their eye-holes

(And they may have mouths that are not drawn on)

[rancid charm]

ok

but we never see them eating anything

when do they eat?

[pseudo pilot]

Vessels don't eat

[rancid charm]

wait what

but how do they grow then

[midnight oasis]

they don't

All of them (With one abnormal case) are the same size as at birth

[rancid charm]

what is the abnormal case

[midnight oasis]

hollow knight

[fluid hazel]

almost all upgrade items get eaten

[rancid charm]

what about the broken vessel?

[midnight oasis]

I don't think thats traditional consumption

Seems like magic

[midnight oasis]

Its not abnormally large or anything

Same size as a bunch of other vessels in the abyss

Corpses don't grow

[fluid hazel]

TK is on the small side

[rancid charm]

who would win

-29.3 lions or broken vessel

[royal crane]

Ok

im speedrunning holow knit

[warm lichen]

hello

[strong mesa]

The lions because broken vessel is broken

[warm lichen]

what if broken vessel wasnt broken

[midnight oasis]

monday left me broken

[gleaming cipher]

Hollow knight was normal size

Maybe his training made him grow

[warm lichen]

i never really thought of that

https://tenor.com/view/skinwalker-1v1-local-deer-fight-deer-boxing-gif-24034383

[midnight oasis]

what is the expunged data?

[warm lichen]

is this too much Fanart?

[proven quiver]

anyone have p5 charm builds?

it’s the 2nd to last achievement i need

[midnight oasis]

Quickslash, Strength, Shaman Stone are a solid base and the biggest damage contributors

Other than that its preference. Spell Twister, Steady Body, Soul Catcher, Mark of Pride, and especially Nailmaster's Glory are all solid options

I like to run Quickslash, Strength, Shaman Stone, Steady Body, and Nailmaster's Glory

[analog locust]

Hi, I'm from Brazil, and I started to get interested in game speedruns, and with that I spent literally 1 year studying and testing glitch and bugs to play with, using various tactics and various concepts, I created a glitch by ACCIDENT. My initial plan was to be able to equip amulets while maintaining the characters' movement, but I kind of ended up creating something that could end up breaking the way of playing hollow knight

[gleaming cipher]

WHAT

BRO

IF YOU MANAGE TO DO THAT ON RHE BEGINNING

THAT COULD BREAK SPEEDRUN

[paper vapor]

the only way I see that changing anything is if it avoids hazard respawns

also, it could be a quirk with mobile hk since yk it’s pirated

so idk

[supple tangle]

Cristopher Larkin just realesed a new sample from silkong

[gleaming cipher]

MY GOD

This theme is fire

🕺🕺🕺🕺

Such an emotional final boss theme

[misty swan]

This is cooper with his sister

his sister is very clingy

[valid escarp]

[agile pasture]

What a happy dog

[misty swan]

he is a newborn puppy, for some reason newborn puppies are always fundamentally sad

but he is very kind and loveable

[gleaming cipher]

COOPERRRR

[gleaming cipher]

He's happy

[misty swan]

yes

[analog locust]

guys, if this works for pc or xbox, or even be valid in a Pain Path speedrun... I kind of may have broken the game (which I think is impossible to be valid for)

[vast shadow]

can someone give me a good hk wallpaper for my phone

[pseudo pilot]

You know what else works? Debug mod

[analog locust]

?

[drifting cliff]

Most glitches are not allowed in PoP speedruns

There are also easier ways to get invincibility, usually

[mighty isle]

14% left 🙏 😭

[ebon stratus]

how do u check that

[mighty isle]

in a page from google

[ebon stratus]

k thx

[civic root]

[pure osprey]

You mean 26%?

[pseudo pilot]

when the math aint mathing

[slate spire]

howdy hk offtopic

[mighty isle]

XD

no

14

[pure osprey]

Hollow knight is 112% not 100%

[mighty isle]

i have the 112%

but i want the true completion

and i have 86%

[pure osprey]

It says 86.53%

[mighty isle]

yes

but look on the top of 86

[pure osprey]

Wtf is true completion

[mighty isle]

I just found this buried in a box. Totally separate from all of my other keychains and medallions. I even forgot I had it.

It's practically poetic that this would be the one that I lost.

[slate spire]

ohh wow, that's really cool!

[knotty edge]

Anyone feel like this when they crave McDs?

[slate spire]

lmao

i mean for burger sure but not mcd

[knotty edge]

Big Mac?

[slate spire]

[pure osprey]

Never ate one, too expensive

[slate spire]

i don't eat from mac

actually once

i only take an ice cream from there

[pseudo pilot]

This got me laughing more than it should've lol

[dull oracle]

I disagree

Machoke is bigger=more body heat

[steel wyvern]

imagine the power move of sleeping with your eternatis

[dull oracle]

I love sleeping with my world ending pet

[strong mesa]

Imagine sleeping with your Arceus

Ah yes I love sleeping with the literal god of the world

[strong mesa]

I disagree as well but the masses don't listen to reason

They say "gay is the man who sleeps with his Machoke"

[dull oracle]

Also machokes can be female

[pseudo pilot]

[dull oracle]

[strong mesa]

This is very true

[young otter]

humans can be female too

[broken roost]

What's hollow knight off topic mean

As opposed to HK discussion

[broken roost]

Good luck

[vapid plank]

Can be either HK or offtopic

[broken roost]

Then why is there off topic?

[vapid plank]

That's only offtopic and no hk

[broken roost]

Is this like... Off topic mixed with HK discussion?

[vapid plank]

Offtopic is for only offtopic

Hkdisc is for only hk

This is anything goes

[broken roost]

Ooooh

Okay

Thanks

[foggy plinth]

eternal ordeal is harder than p4

and p5

imposibl

[dull oracle]

eternal ordeal is free

[foggy plinth]

fake

[vapid plank]

Eternal Ordeal is technically easy

[broken roost]

I have high score of 100-ish

[reef patio]

There should be a loss count for p5 like how many times you lost there #ngl

[foggy plinth]

count it

[reef patio]

Gpz has a good design

[reef patio]

Ive lost count :)

[foggy plinth]

NO HE DOES NOT

i hate gpz

[reef patio]

im not talking about the boss fight itself

but yeah hes annoying to fight

[foggy plinth]

that true

[reef patio]

He falls on his ass and creates shockwaves

[foggy plinth]

that damn aimbot drop he does

[reef patio]

That is so annoying

Creating shockwaves constantly and spawning those zotelings

[foggy plinth]

who even fights him all like 10 times\

[reef patio]

That sounds psychotic just do him radiant

and even that’s psychotic as well

i get hes a joke boss but he should’ve not been in p5 or p3

But can't believe ets2 is woke now

[foggy plinth]

is zote infected

[junior ocean]

no

[foggy plinth]

why would he spit infection then

or volatile zotelings

[junior ocean]

he doesnt

[foggy plinth]

then what does he spit

[young nimbus]

https://tenor.com/view/cat-massage-gif-24282757

[junior ocean]

nothing, he never spits. he just falls over and flails his nail. i assume u mean gpz and no, he isnt infected either

bretta doesnt know what the infection is

[young nimbus]

and either way gpz is in bretta's mind

[foggy plinth]

i mean the

eternal ordeal isnt canon

The yellow one loves flying into walls (she is probably the least likely bird I have that would bite...)

[vestal finch]

YOU ARE EVIL JFC

[analog locust]

With this glitch I beat the pantheons without any difficulty, bro, it wasn't even fun, you can easily reach 112% of the game (if this glitch works on Xbox or PC)

[analog locust]

NO MAN

[foggy plinth]

kinda scummy

very scummy

[analog locust]

do what you want bro, it's in the game and to be used

[gleaming cipher]

Man

Let her be

Her true self

[foggy plinth]

its a glitch big man

its in the game unintentionally

why would team cherry implement a damn invincibility glitch

[vestal finch]

Prolly my favourite birb anyway

(might have brain damage though)

[gleaming cipher]

Let her be

[analog locust]

look...I created it and I have to test it to see the advantages and disadvantages ^^

[foggy plinth]

dawg

its invincibility

theres no disadvantage 😭

[vestal finch]

I remember vividly, where she'd do this stupid thing flying in circles on the floor like a helicopter, so id pick her up and put her back on the table I'm at

[midnight oasis]

who cares

[gleaming cipher]

Fr

[midnight oasis]

its a singleplayer game people can do whatever they want

[gleaming cipher]

WHATTT

jajajajaja

[foggy plinth]

ok but like in speedrunning

???

i understand theres some glitched categories

[gleaming cipher]

DO YOU HAVE A VIDEO

I BEG YOU

[vestal finch]

This is actually smth only she did, none of my other birds did it

[midnight oasis]

are they speedrunning though

[vestal finch]

My phone was broken at the time... And I don't think I've seen her do it recently after like 4 months ago

[midnight oasis]

it wouldn't get accepted to any categories regardless

[midnight oasis]

if they want to do glitched speedruns thats whatever

[analog locust]

and because there may be places where the bug can end up coming out, and while you are in "invincible" mode you cannot pick up coins or teleport using the dream stinger

[foggy plinth]

do you need geo when youre invisible tho

[analog locust]

Who knows

[foggy plinth]

the glitch is also pretty bad for speedruns since getting dreamgate requires 900 essence

[analog locust]

This is not a problem, there is a speedrun mode where you start with all items unlocked (and a real glich)

But even this invincibility bug, I don't think it would be worth using in a speedrun, you can make this bug at the beginning of the game, but it would be harmful because you need geo to buy certain items, so the bug would be more harmful than help

[foggy plinth]

you dont take damage

i dont think you need a damn quick focus from salubra when you cant take damage

[analog locust]

but you don't get geo either

[foggy plinth]

brother

if you cna start with all items all you need is just to get the dreamers and fight hollow knight

if you dont start with all items its just useless since 900 essence requires some bosses

unless you wanna collect dream roots

[analog locust]

but the beetles get blocked

and beetles are essential for the glitch

[reef patio]

They look like mini parrots I love them

[vestal finch]

I'm pretty sure they are part of a small group of parrots. And yeah, they're chill like that 🗣️

[reef patio]

I’ve been obsessed with them since last year

[vestal finch]

Buy a baby lovebird, they need lots of attention but it's worth (trust!!)

[reef patio]

You learned nothing if you used invincibility glitch to beat p5

[reef patio]

I already have two cockatiels taken care of tho

[vestal finch]

Oh-

[reef patio]

Theyre not in here rn tho other part of my family takes care of them

[vestal finch]

I gave my one to a close friend (pro birb keeper, can look after any birb given), but my lovebirds are still around!!

[reef patio]

Alright cool

[foggy plinth]

this is a true sore loser

[reef patio]

fym

[foggy plinth]

god gamer

[reef patio]

Im not fond of the fact that someone used invincibility to beat p5 whats wrong with that

[foggy plinth]

nothing

[analog locust]

I know that, but I'm not focused on training pantheon and pvp, my focus is parko, I'm speedrunning path of pain, my record was 5 minutes and 10 seconds

[vestal finch]

This is vile though.

[foggy plinth]

sore loser is a good thing

[reef patio]

I haven’t subscribed or joined fireborn so no

[foggy plinth]

ok

[reef patio]

Ah ok

[reef patio]

Alright :)

I stay losing anyway

[analog locust]

and I'm also more proud of what I'm imposing on myself, I've been looking for a bug in this game for 1 year so that one day I'll change the direction of a speedrun, and I'm seeing that my efforts are paying off, so you can have an idea , my initial glitch was to find a way to equip amulets without needing a bank, I almost managed it, but something is missing

[vestal finch]

Amulets..?.. bank..????

[analog locust]

?

[warm lichen]

Charms and bench? Is that what he meant?

[vestal finch]

I... Think???

[warm lichen]

There is a bank but, it’s not for equipping charms

[foggy plinth]

maybe he uses a translator guys!

dont be mean!

[warm lichen]

I’m not

Just trying to see what he meant

[analog locust]

sorry I didn't understand, I'm Brazilian I just wrote it and translated it into English

[vestal finch]

I'm not being mean, just confused

[vestal finch]

Ah I see

[warm lichen]

It’s fine, just for next time it’s charm and bench 👍

[analog locust]

Ok

[analog locust]

and because I'm using Google Translate, so when I write "bank" in Portuguese, it says "bank"

[warm lichen]

I don’t blame you google translate isn’t really the best

[analog locust]

the hollow knight and the knight are the same size when they leave the abyss, and in the white palace there is a cradle, which is pretty ovbiously for the baby hollow knight, the knight is literally the size of a child in a cradle

no problem with grey prince zote because i left him to rot in greenpath like that garfield meme with nermal

you have been playing too long if you can find any redeeming quality about nosk other than the build up

Ddark. Shade Cloak

Or just position yourself near the boss

still i honestly find that a worse projectile spread than primal aspids

because at least those are just in a weird arc that feels weird to dodge and arent affected by gravity

That’s just a terrible opinion, he has the best soundtrack, moveset in the game along with a top 3 design with him only rivaled by Pure Vessel and Mantis Lords

[strong mesa]

Nightmare King Grimm is just better Grimm though.

[quiet light]

Are Baldurs just armadillos mixed with moles? Or is another animal I don’t know about

[scenic frost]

Nightmare King Grimm is literally the better version

[burnt quarry]

Why is the off topic chat more on topic than the actual chat

[broken roost]

who knows

[visual widget]

i never talk here but i love hollow knight 👽

[cold linden]

Eh idk, harder sure but it doesn’t have the same feeling. It’s just like genechiro and his later version in Sekiro shadows die twice.

While I get the later version is harder it doesn’t serve the same meaningful resemblance nor feeling the original fight emulates.

[hushed trail]

We love objective opinions

[scenic frost]

Genichiro and Grimm are not comparable in terms of first fights versus second fights

Genichiro's second fight is arguably EASIER than his first

[cold linden]

It’s only easier if you level up further. My point is, the first time fighting genichiro is the best fight in the game where it feels like a clash of sword.

The NKG is a great fight but it’s overbearing with extremely fast and punishing attacks which while make a good fight it doesn’t hold the same meaning in my opinion.

The second feels like your fighting a god and the first feels like equally matched opponents in a dance and a battle of blade.

[scenic frost]

You know exactly what I was talking about with genichiro way of tomoe being easier than his first

Obviously I'm talking about both of them AT THE POINT you fight them in the game

[cold linden]

Yes I do, but that’s not the point, it’s not about difficulty it’s about the feeling the boss gives you.

[scenic frost]

I don't see how sisters of battle fits that description ngl

[cold linden]

What description? Well designed?

[scenic frost]

Well seemingly you like "equally matched" bosses best

[cold linden]

Not what I said at all homie, sisters of battle isn’t meant to be an equal matchup while Grimm is. The entire design of Grimm is a dance where he fights you not with intent to kill but to be a front for his show.

Not all bosses have to be equal fights, but yes bosses that are designed the same way they are mechanically played is my definition of a good boss.

NKG doesn’t give that feeling though. When I fight him it feels like I’m sweating my (word that would get me banned) off, it’s entertaining sure but doesn’t hold the same memorable meaning. Difficulty doesn’t define a boss is all I’m saying here. And the story element of base Grimm along with the parallel fighting style is what makes him memorable.

[scenic frost]

I mean yeah I can understand that

Also you can say ass here lol

[broken roost]

WHY DOES THIS FRAME OF SS CAST LOOK SO COOL

[cold linden]

I wasn’t gonna say ass but um, yes let’s go with that

[scenic frost]

[bold acorn]

ello

[weary linden]

just beat the hollow knight

how do I unlock the radiance battle?

1200 dream essence right?

[bold acorn]

i still need to beat hk

[barren crest]

honestly i had fun with learning NKG's fight but from a lore and presentation perspective i love the Pure Vessel fight so much it made my new online name

[ashen wadi]

PV is eh lorewise

Godhome

[ashen wadi]

1800 essence then go to seer, then find both white fragments and do what it says

[midnight oasis]

The boss is the set piece

PV's lore is meh but its attacks are peak

Like how it starts focusing at low health (in addition to using the focused soul in concentrated blasts)

[ashen wadi]

The focus is neat

[midnight oasis]

Or these gnarly af spikes

[ashen wadi]

PV is just so much worse narratively than THK it’s almost comical

[midnight oasis]

Dream No More at home

[ashen wadi]

dnm but if it didn’t involve any of the important thematic shit

Mfw TK doesn’t actually need to face the kingdom’s past to claim responsibility for its future

[midnight oasis]

I bet TC pondered for a significant amount of time on how to organically involve Voidheart and then just settled with the "Void heart door 9000" (trademarked)

[ashen wadi]

If you really wanted to do their work for them you could argue that represents TK turning off void’s sense blocking property to let them attune through pv but like

Meh

[midnight oasis]

The famously organic godly resonance

[ashen wadi]

Godly resonance is intuitive enough

[junior ocean]

TC did what

[scenic frost]

[scenic frost]

So true

does anyone actually use stalwart shell

[pseudo pilot]

I do

[foggy plinth]

why

[gleaming tendon]

yeah

[gleaming tendon]

because I'm baad at the game and since it gives a bit of invincibility it's great

[sweet charm]

honestly i dont think like a second of invincibility more isnt worth the notch but if you find it usefull wich i dont then use it sure why should i care

[foggy plinth]

2 notches

[sweet charm]

even worse honestly i always forget about it

[foggy plinth]

i have never used it

[gleaming tendon]

Yeah i know but still I'm not very reactive when I play

[sweet charm]

me too i just got it for 112

[gleaming tendon]

but for some specific bosses I use it, but I'm not always keeping it

[sweet charm]

me too but well for 2 notches its better to get long nail or somthing

[foggy plinth]

or soul catcher

[sweet charm]

or sould catcher

[foggy plinth]

maybe lifeblood heart for extra 2 hits

[sweet charm]

maybe

spell twister is also good for 2 notches

[foggy plinth]

true

[sweet charm]

or unbreakable heart if you have the money of fragile heart if you have the skill

[valid escarp]

i like heavy blow for nkg

[foggy plinth]

baldur shell if you need to heal
