[subtle crater]

Getting all strawberries in it thought made me hate myself

Though*

[plucky trout]

core and resort are the worst imo

[subtle crater]

Yeah

Resort b side

Is so bad

So is core

[plucky trout]

core b side is the reason im not doing farewell golden

[subtle crater]

I might do farewell golden if I become a no life

Or become a steamer or smthn

Because I need too much free time to do that

[plucky trout]

All the goldens took me like 400 hours

farewell would probably be 150 by itself

[subtle crater]

You know

Summer break is coming up

Oh no

Too much free time

Dude resort golden I HATE IT S QWKU6EWUIKDGW

[plucky trout]

sounds like someone is gonna do goldens

and quit the game after core b side golden

just like me

[subtle crater]

Yeah lol

[plucky trout]

honestly celeste made me so good at platforming that when i tried path of pain i thought it was easy

[subtle crater]

I’ve done pop hitless

Idk how I did

I have video proof

[plucky trout]

Ive only done pop once but i only got hit 4 or 5 times

[subtle crater]

Dang

[plucky trout]

and then died to the kingsmoulds

[subtle crater]

Noooo

[plucky trout]

i know.

[subtle crater]

Dying to them is so sad

I can’t believe I didn’t get hit by them when I did it hitless

[plucky trout]

i got back to them within 5 minutes

[subtle crater]

The video of it is insane

[plucky trout]

or was it 10 minutes? i wasnt paying attention to the time

do you play yomi hustle?

[subtle crater]

Lemme stream my screen in general 3 rq

What’s that

[plucky trout]

a really fun fighting game

you know smash bros?

[subtle crater]

Yeah

[plucky trout]

think of that, but turn based

[subtle crater]

Ooh

That sounds cool

[karmic apex]

These emojis are straight fire

[subtle crater]

What the

[plucky trout]

[subtle crater]

Oh mb

I thought you were just spamming emojis

[karmic apex]

Haha

I just wanted a better look

[plucky trout]

grubs are the best chars in hk after all

[subtle crater]

I have a grub plush

[karmic apex]

Yes!

That’s why I play hollow knight

[karmic apex]

Celeste 🔥

[subtle crater]

Yes

[plucky trout]

we all love celeste here

[subtle crater]

I love Celeste

Prob my favorite game tbh

[karmic apex]

I have never played it

[subtle crater]

What are you doing wit( your life

Please play it

It will change your life

[plucky trout]

its amazing

[karmic apex]

My impression of it is like Hk + Undertale

[subtle crater]

Not saying for good or worse

[karmic apex]

Yess

I’ll do that after I beat hollow knight

Then Undertale

[subtle crater]

Dude undertale is so good

[plucky trout]

it made me so good at platforming that my first time at PoP i only took 4 or 5 hits

[subtle crater]

I’ve done genocide and pacafist route too many times

[gray robin]

I can't beat genocide

[subtle crater]

Genocide is very Grundy

Grindy*

[lapis raft]

shithsithsithshitshitSHIT

[subtle crater]

NO

NOT YET

I STILL HAVENT GOLDEN BERRIED EVERYTHING

[lapis raft]

once i saw this in a diff server i imediatly thought of putting it here

also

what if

[plucky trout]

confession time: i havent played undertale

[lapis raft]

young radiance

was called

light?

[subtle crater]

Oh my gosh

Please play undertale

[subtle crater]

I used to play it all the time on my switch

[lapis raft]

insert undertail ost 000000000001 fallen down

[plucky trout]

its on my wishlist

[subtle crater]

Hopes and dreams is a fire song on the ost

[plucky trout]

but i have a large backlog of games

[lapis raft]

hopes and dreams you say? proceeds to draw the dream nail

[gray robin]

Spider dance is the best

[plucky trout]

RDR2, horizon forbidden west, mindustry v8, etc

[lapis raft]

bone trousle.

[subtle crater]

i secretely hate hollow knight and I am here for celseste content

That’s my dream dialogue

[lapis raft]

execute him.

[lapis raft]

EXECUTE HIM.

[subtle crater]

No not yet

I haven’t radiated absrad yet

[lapis raft]

why should i wait for that...?

[subtle crater]

That’s why I am playing Celeste

[lapis raft]

I HAVENT EVEN BEATEN P3

[plucky trout]

skill issue

[lapis raft]

AND I HAVE OVER 100+ HOURS ON HOLLOW KNIGHT

[subtle crater]

I’ve radiated every other boss

I have 250

[lapis raft]

W E D O N T C A R E

AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA

[subtle crater]

Most of it from leaving it on while sleeping though

[lapis raft]

it annoys me though

someone got 112%... in 38 hours

[subtle crater]

Sly is harder that absrad

Than

[plucky trout]

i think it took me 50 to 112%

[subtle crater]

I can easily beat absrad but not sly normally

[gray robin]

Let me guess..

Because of that damned Zote?

[lapis raft]

normal radiance is easy as FUCK

[plucky trout]

my last p5 attempt died to markoth

[subtle crater]

No absolute radiance

[lapis raft]

HAHA JOKES ON YOU
i dont even have zote unlocked in godhome.

[subtle crater]

Dude I understand

Markoth is ASS

I HATE MARKOTH HE SHOULD BURN AND DIE AND SUFFER IN HELL

[plucky trout]

actually my 2 best attempts both died to markoth

[lapis raft]

its sly.
not mother fucking ZOTE the "Mighty"

[lapis raft]

so should nkg.

[subtle crater]

nah nkg is easy

[plucky trout]

NKG is amazing

[subtle crater]

But very fun boss

[plucky trout]

sisters of battle is the best boss. change my mind

[subtle crater]

But easy

[lapis raft]

ages...and ages..went by...and finally i beat him...cause i didnt cheese the whole damn fight you mother fuck-

[subtle crater]

I cannot because that boss is very very good

Nah I did it legit nkg mad easy

[gray robin]

Sly is harder than NKG

[subtle crater]

Yes

Yes

I heavily agree

[lapis raft]

mmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmm.....

[plucky trout]

sly is very difficult

[subtle crater]

Anyways watch me suffer to beat resort golden in general 3

I’m being muted the whole time

[plucky trout]

nah im gonna get some food

[subtle crater]

Alr bye

[plucky trout]

have a nice day

[subtle crater]

You too

[lapis raft]

i would hold nkg at gunpoint in public and pull the trigger
and than tell the judge to make my sentence 50 years longer

troupe master grimm?
nah we fine hes easy as fuck

[plucky trout]

nkg is a fun boss though

[subtle crater]

Yeah

It is really fast paced

And that’s enjoyable

[plucky trout]

if you dont like him then skill issue

[lapis raft]

**N O **

wait

did i just

[plucky trout]

good music too

[lapis raft]

who ever cheesed the nkg fight

[subtle crater]

How do you even cheese nkg

[lapis raft]

please dont tell me hes easy after it took me over like 5 months to beat him

[pearl parrot]

what do you guys think is the room with the most loaded visible enemies at the same time? asking for no reason whatsoever

[lapis raft]

only 2 words.
abyss.shriek.

[plucky trout]

i think he is talking about abyss shriek during puffer phase

[subtle crater]

Ohhhh

No I’ve beat him radiant

[plucky trout]

i never use abyss shriek anyways

[lapis raft]

i rarely use spells

[plucky trout]

i use ddark a good amount

[subtle crater]

But that’s dark

Ddark*

[lapis raft]

i really only use spells for god tamer and hive knight

[plucky trout]

but abyss shriek only sees use against flukemarm

[subtle crater]

When in doughy

Doubt

Ddark*

Tf am I saying

When in doubt, Ddark

There

[lapis raft]

also

i have never fought god tamer

in the cof

[subtle crater]

Huh???

Why not

[lapis raft]

why the fuck can i fight them in god home

[rich mica]

helo chat

[subtle crater]

Because it’s weird like that

[lapis raft]

why the fuck can i fight them in god home

uh

[subtle crater]

You don’t have to beat godtamer for pantheons

[lavish python]

how do i change the hollow knight discord image i think theres sum wrong w it

[lapis raft]

maybe they already attuned to the god tamer..?????

[subtle crater]

Yeah

You don’t have to beatgodtamer

[gray robin]

They are accessible when you encounter them in p3

[subtle crater]

Ik it’s always gay

[lapis raft]

dang ok

[subtle crater]

The hollow knight discord image is always gay

[plucky eagle]

yeah it’s just so that you don’t have to do colo3 to be able to do p3

[lapis raft]

wait a minute

p3... and c3........hyummmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmah

anyway

question

why the fuck does godhome have NORMAL ASS BUGS IN THE HALL OF FUCKING GODS???

[subtle crater]

Idk lol

They are gods ig

Also what does ong stand for

[gray robin]

They got Gruz mother here...

[lapis raft]

and vengeflys. not vengefly kings...vengeflys.

[plucky eagle]

on god (if i recall correctly)

[subtle crater]

I think it does

Yeah it does

[gray robin]

Are lumaflys the souls of fallen Moths?

[subtle crater]

Nah they just bugs lol

[lapis raft]

why the fuck is the brooding mawlek,soul warrior,massive mass charger,fluke marm, vengefly king, and gruz in there?

[subtle crater]

Mossy deserves to be in there though

[lapis raft]

eh

[subtle crater]

Yes

It’s mossy

[gray robin]

Not to mention goddammn Zote!

[lapis raft]

i will admit, grey prince zote is kinda hard

mother fucker i just had a great idea to bring quirrel back

[subtle crater]

Yes

Gpz is hard

[gray robin]

He is so random

[subtle crater]

Harder than absrad

Not joking

Absrad is so easy tbh

[lapis raft]

what if, you could dream nail his nail, leading to a QUIRREL DREAM FIGHT that once winning, you can sit by him again in dream ghost form or sum shit like that but you cant dream nail him so hes essence

[subtle crater]

Yessss

That would be cool

[lapis raft]

had to throw in the last bit in there for the genesis

genesis?

genosis

genocidalist

[subtle crater]

Like skurry

Killing Marissa for no reason

[gray robin]

We need a dream Traitor lord fight

[lapis raft]

ehhhhhhhhhhhhhh

...

the horror

[subtle crater]

Nah

[lapis raft]

poh

[subtle crater]

We already have normal fight

[lapis raft]

nkg

and

THE HORR-

[gray robin]

I mean, we have failed champion, soul master and etc
Even Nosk got it's dream form in Godhome

[lapis raft]

nosk has a dream form?

[gray robin]

Flying one

[lapis raft]

dawg thats not a dream form, but i apologize as i see your a new comer, i for one welcome you

[gray robin]

I mean it is in Godhome, what technically a dream world..

But yes, I don’t think it counts

[quaint fiber]

who wanna slide me hk

[loud rivet]

hornet is too strong 😭

[plucky trout]

Stick with it! Hornet is a great boss to familiarize yourself with the movement and learn attack patterns

[native oracle]

Btw whats it with the canue under all the memes ?

[slate dawn]

Would u say there alot of trans hk fans?

[warm echo]

Probably yeah, but not as much as other games

[warm echo]

Doesn't mean anything

[slate dawn]

I think ik wut other games u mean

[native oracle]

Which ones ?

[warm echo]

Celeste

[native oracle]

Yeah ? Why is that

[warm echo]

I'd say that some factors are because the plot is very relatable and the protagonist and creator are canonically trans

Could be more

But I'm not educated enough on Celeste stuff to tell

Ask @slate dawn

[slate dawn]

It cause alot of people working on it are trans, the main character is trans,the story is very relatable to trans people

And it fun

And got a rly cute art stule

[manic light]

Nope it's about the canoes 🛶 in https://discord.com/channels/283467363729408000/736153071218065508

[native oracle]

Hiii @manic light

[manic light]

Hi !

Hum the canoes don't have any meanings its just all 🛶

[native oracle]

Ok :3

[native oracle]

I didnt know that , really interesting

[mossy badge]

breaking news, dead island 2 and happy game for free on epic games till 22-23rd may

[slate dawn]

If i am honest celeste community is way more fun yall feel way 2 serious

[young otter]

I think a lot of the people here lost their minds a long time ago while malding over no silksong

[slate dawn]

It a game about gay bugs

[young otter]

lmao

[native oracle]

So maybe i should start playing it them

[slate dawn]

U rly should

It amazing

The best platformer ever in my opinion

The story is perfect

And it got lesbians

(In the spinoff but still canon)

[undone chasm]

Whose the lesbian

[formal flume]

P Diddy

[undone chasm]

What

[formal flume]

Where tf did u see a lesbian

[native oracle]

Now u got me convinved haha

[undone chasm]

Who is the lesbian is not a question I see as making fun of 'your kind'

[slate dawn]

My bad i mistake wut u daid

Said

[formal flume]

P Diddy

[slate dawn]

Madeline and alex

The perfect couple

[wide pike]

Aye

Atlast

Oro and mato was screwing me over. Lets go

When does it get hard

[dull oracle]

Never

Hk isn't a hard game

[wide pike]

I really dont know. Havent watched videos because my friend asked me not to lol

[lunar ocean]

p3

[wide pike]

You all finished the game or what?

I have to get some more masks. I think ill do that shit first

[lunar ocean]

yeah i did finish it and i can say p3 is where the pantheons get harder

not going to tell you why

[wide pike]

Oh thanks. Its also my first game so 🤡

[lunar ocean]

you should 100%

[wide pike]

I was using unbreakable heart this pantheon

[wide pike]

Does defeating nkg give you anything?

Im getting screwed over like all the time i fight

Lol

[lunar ocean]

it does

[wide pike]

What would it give. Im okay with that spoiler

Lol

I need another charm notch as well. And a charm vessel

[lunar ocean]

upgrade to grimmchild

thats really it but it's also good practice for the harder bosses

[lunar ocean]

did you buy all the notches?

[hot dune]

Good morning

[minor walrus]

hi, where can I report a bug?

[glass oriole]

Pee

[quick notch]

is there a kn server tag

[umbral granite]

@wild pollen Stand ready for my arrival.

[nocturne wind]

Hive Knight's most powerful move: standing still so that I walk into it in a p5 hitless run.

I will say, that was my first hit in the entire pantheon

[terse scarab]

dang

good job

ngl i could never do that

also 10 more bosses to go

[nocturne wind]

Nah, you could

It's just a matter of how addicted you are to the game

Because to do this you must not be able to stop😂

[terse scarab]

bro i've played this game for 200 hours and i still die to nosk 😭

[nocturne wind]

My pb in terms of depth I think is soul tyrant

Which is very far

[nocturne wind]

2000

probably 2100

[terse scarab]

is that how much you've played

no way right?

[nocturne wind]

Approximately

[terse scarab]

NAHHHHH

[nocturne wind]

There are people with over 4000 hours

[terse scarab]

SEND SS

[nocturne wind]

Like Fireb0rn

[terse scarab]

bro

no way

[nocturne wind]

1300 were offline😅

You are gonna have to believe me

[nocturne wind]

Think of this as a proof of concept

I am far from the craziest player

[terse scarab]

yea but thats different bro

he's like a youtuber with lots of popularity

no one would like him if he had like 500 hours

he had to

[nocturne wind]

Idk what to tell you man, there are people with lost of hours who aren't well known

[terse scarab]

ye

[nocturne wind]

For example the anyrad server

And a lot of speedrunners on the leaderboard

MonstahLer Also

He is a beast honestly...

[terse scarab]

really?

ive never heard of him

but at the same time i never really watched that much hollow knight

[nocturne wind]

My point exactly

He used to have TONS of wrs

A top player for sure

Did p5 hitless years ago

[terse scarab]

umm

why the hell did he complete p5 in 20 mins

how is that possible

[nocturne wind]

Not the craziest at all

Fury and flukenest makes it reasonable

Cause idk if u know, but flukes r broken as f

[terse scarab]

ye

[nocturne wind]

I think he didn't use flukes because it wasn't known back then

But fury is enough for 20 min

Especially for a top runner

Also remember he could use the lifeblood you get from doing bindings

[terse scarab]

ye

but that wastes time

right?

[nocturne wind]

What time?

2 seconds each?

[terse scarab]

oh yea also like 150 hours ive played have been offline i thought it still tracks your time even offline

[terse scarab]

ig

[nocturne wind]

It's worth it for being able to use fury safely

[terse scarab]

true

but the fact is

TOUCH GRASS MAN WHY DO YOU HAVE 2K HOURS

[lapis raft]

hows everyone doing today?

[terse scarab]

good

what about you

[lapis raft]

i have over 100 hours on my main save and i dont even have 112%

[terse scarab]

well

[lapis raft]

uhhh idk i gotta pee so brb

[terse scarab]

umm ok

but its mainly just playing undertale

thats how i got so good in such a short time

specifically undertale fangames

like when i came back to hollow knight and decided to do absrad i did it in 5 tries

[lapis raft]

radiance is easy as fuck
why?
i beat nkg before beating the radiance

sooooooooooooooooooooo

[terse scarab]

same ngl

wait i mean absolute radiance

[lapis raft]

abs radiance is just sped up radiance

[terse scarab]

ye

[timid lion]

hello chat

[timid lion]

run that by me

[terse scarab]

so basically

i played undertale

and i liked it

so i stumbled an ink sans game

and i liked it

and then that kind pushed me to do a lot of undertale fangames

so i got better

which somehow also made me better at hollow knight too

atleast thats my theory

maybe i just got better for no reason

[hard wraith]

how do u get all endings on one playthrough

[midnight oasis]

Get ending 1, pick up Voidheart, get ending 2, get ending 3, get ending 4, give delicate flower to Godseeker, get ending 5

[quartz parcel]

@terse scarab @terse scarab

[terse scarab]

uh yo

why'd you ping me 2 times

[brave bramble]

https://tenor.com/view/hollow-knight-grimm-spider-get-grimmed-gif-26005759

[terse scarab]

why do hollow knight speedrunners play the game in another language if they speak english

[midnight oasis]

Some languages can save time in comparison to english

Speedrunners are pretentious hacks who believe anyone actually cares about this fact

[hollow sleet]

speedrunners are weird creatures

[hexed grail]

guys I think I’m boutta beat p5 soon

i can beat Absrad and Pure Vessel mostly reliably

[ionic orbit]

guys how to appeal for unban

my freind got banned

[slender vector]

can i post pictures here it wont let me

[hollow sleet]

gotta wait like a day

[slender vector]

i see

[hollow sleet]

for the new knight role to disappear i think

[slender vector]

i wanted to post a pic of my hall of gods achievements, not to flex but to ask if what i did is impressive cuz ive been playing for a month only

already my all time favorite game

after avoiding it 😭

[hollow sleet]

what all did ya do

[slender vector]

beat everyone on atleast ascended with a couple of radiants

excluding nkg

he is attuned

[hollow sleet]

ima be honest

[slender vector]

but im nearing ascended

[hollow sleet]

failed champion is harder then nkg

i think i have him on ascended

[slender vector]

actually?

[hollow sleet]

yeah

[slender vector]

failed champion was not much of a problem for me

[hollow sleet]

nkg is 'harder' so you take longer to learn his patterns

[slender vector]

but i do cheese through him

[hollow sleet]

which in turn makes the fight way more predictable and easier

[slender vector]

ig makes sense

[hollow sleet]

-# and sharp shadow but like that doesnt exist

[slender vector]

i rarely change my charms tbf but i tried using that against zote

he kept kicking my ass but i finally beat him ascended

[hollow sleet]

the 11 charm notches preventing me from having that sweet juicy mark of pride shaman stone quick slash and strength combo

(without overcharming)

[slender vector]

id love fury of the fallen but id be overcharmed

i use shaman stone, quick slash, nailmasters glory, steady body and unbreakable strenght

[hollow sleet]

failed champion is more unpredictable than nkg but an easy strat for him is just that when he jumps near you, dash away and keep hitting him, then when he jumps back to where he was, do it the same, etc, etc, when he jumps to the edge, don't follow him

like jumping at you and slamming his mace where it doesnt create a shockwave

[slender vector]

for him i just spam click him until hes down (quick slash and unb strenght is goated for this) then i just hit behind him to keep him down and dream nail him for soul

[hollow sleet]

though i truly fear what i call the feisty four in pantheon 5

[slender vector]

then you can just soul attack him from far away and he will keep getting knocked down

[slender vector]

oo what is that

P5 i died to nkg i wanted to die irl

[hollow sleet]

whoevers work it was to put failed champion, markoth, gpz, and nkg together with no breaks should burn in the fires of hell

[slender vector]

cuz i have no trouble vs pure vessel anymore i wouldve gotten to the radiance

[slender vector]

i completely agree

markoth is the worst

but i do have him ascended

[hollow sleet]

this is coming from an mf who hasnt even ATTEMPTED IT yet

[slender vector]

i CANNOT do radiant

[hollow sleet]

because ive tried all these guys on radiant

its hell

its pure hell

[slender vector]

what charms do u use mainly

[hollow sleet]

shaman stone, quick slash, and strength

the last two charm notches depends

[slender vector]

i also use those

[hollow sleet]

if it's walking around normally it's wayward compass and nailmasters

[slender vector]

so we practically have the same charms 😂

[hollow sleet]

if it's a boss then I choose lik

shit i forgot

[slender vector]

except i dont need the compass anymore im only in godhome

i use steady body could it be that

[hollow sleet]

sometimes i use that

but im too used to going forward a smidge when i use my nail

oh right, i use defenders crest for lost kin

(not broken vessel, he's a joke)

[slender vector]

yeaa fair

good charm

[hollow sleet]

idk how skilled i am either but i beat path of pain with like 7-8 masks and no hiveblood

no deaths

[slender vector]

thats really impressive

i havent died either but i did use hiveblood

how long did it take u

[hollow sleet]

erm

like 40 minutes

[slender vector]

yea thats really good

took me about 45 ish mins

but you had no hiveblood thats sick

[hollow sleet]

im good at platforming

i genuinely think that PoP is easier then white palace now

just because they were really generous with soul totems

the kingsmoulds did jump me though

[slender vector]

the entire palace made my blood boil

i hated it so much

and i dont wanna do it again

[hollow sleet]

yeah

[slender vector]

but i never sat on the throne

[hollow sleet]

yeah

[slender vector]

that pains me

[hollow sleet]

me neither

[slender vector]

😭

[hollow sleet]

but you wanna know what i HATE about it

if you die there your steel soul run ends

[slender vector]

i havent tried steel soul yet

[hollow sleet]

i have a bit

[slender vector]

id hate to play for 15h then die

[hollow sleet]

died to a goam for a silly mistake (really early)

i forgot how moss knight works so i got greedy and died to him

[slender vector]

oich

ouch

atleast u didnt go too far

[hollow sleet]

yeah

[slender vector]

imagine tryng 112%

then dying before getting it

[hollow sleet]

steel completion:

[slender vector]

aight i go now

see u around

[hollow sleet]

bye bye

[slender vector]

byeee

[halcyon tide]

Hot take: pure vessel is easier than ascended Markoth

At least for PV you can learn his patterns until you've got them down pat

Markoth just floats around like nobody's business and you've got a nail through your mask before you know it

[barren thorn]

Not a hot take at all

I think most people would agree

I'll go as far as to say radiant pv is easier than ascended markoth

[halcyon tide]

Thank you!! I honestly thought I was crazy XD

[brave blaze]

:>

[halcyon tide]

Dude literally!! I've radianted (is that a word) everyone in HoG except AbsRad (for obvious reasons) and Markoth because f Markoth

[barren thorn]

Radiant PV took maybe 3 tries, ascended Markoth took me 20+ tries.

[wild solar]

pv already does so much damage and doesnt let you heal much radiant isnt much worse than normal

[barren thorn]

Nice! I might try radhog too because I finally beat p5, after exams tho

[wild solar]

oh also guys i got weathered mask

[halcyon tide]

That's seriously impressive. I guess it helps that fighting them is so satisfying

[wild solar]

idk if i ever posted it here but i finally have all journal entries

[barren thorn]

Pv is my favorite boss

[wild solar]

based

[barren thorn]

I've heard of that before but forgot what that is

[wild solar]

all bindings separately

[halcyon tide]

Based²

[wild solar]

so like one run with charm, one with shell, etc

[barren thorn]

Ohhh, for every pantheon or just one?

[wild solar]

all of them

[barren thorn]

Ohh I see

[wild solar]

others were ez compared to 5 tho

[barren thorn]

It sounds very doable except in p5

I barely beat p5 normally today

[wild solar]

lowkey i havent played this game in forever but a couple months ago i did a run and got godhome ending

i had no idea i could still do it but ig its hard baked by now

[barren thorn]

I see

I started this game like less than 2 months ago and I thought I was close to finishing it when I beat normal radiance. But damn godhome has so much stuff I'll spend this summer doing bindings, radhog etc

Oh and the speedrun achievements I need those too

[halcyon tide]

I was going hard at PoH for so long but I got burnt out and tapped out

Then came steel soul and I lost my most recent save to the... bifly? The big round one

My memory betrays me

But oh how I wish I could experience the game for the first time again

[lusty hill]

I tried to beat some bosses without touching the ground. It did not go well.

[halcyon tide]

With ascended Markoth you're basically forced to and it's torture

I can't imagine doing any of the other bosses floor-less though

So massive props to you for even attempting it

[crimson solar]

guys

does anyone have a HK guild tag?

[sleek dune]

does anyone know who the statue guy is

first time playing hk and trying to find secrets :>

looked kinda sus tho bc the rest of the room is just dead bugs and then him

[manic light]

The statue is a soul totem
Seems logic because they are studying soul if i remember correctly

[sleek dune]

oooo tyyy

[spice fjord]

im bored

[neat compass]

I got sun poisoning today :)

The radiance really got to me

[tribal charm]

I think that NKG broke my difficulty meter bc

Oro, Mato, and Sheo feel too easy for some reason???

[exotic blaze]

Yo

[barren thorn]

Wait till you try p5

[tribal charm]

yessssss

i want to be beat to a bloody pulp

yessssssss

[barren thorn]

Which pantheons have you beaten so far?

[tribal charm]

one and two and im almost done with three

hopefully sly can beat the snot out of me

[barren thorn]

I think he can

At least the first few times

Happened to me

[manic light]

Sheo isn't really that hard
-# at least i never found it hard

[tribal charm]

yeah he needs more HP

like a lot more

[manic light]

Yes

*he needed

[tribal charm]

with quick slash and shaman stone i beat him almost as fast as i beat broken vessel like bro

[manic light]

Yes

[barren thorn]

Honestly I'm glad that a lot of those bosses are super easy

P5 made me lose my mind

[manic light]

And you know where is your mind now or is it still lost ?

[barren thorn]

I beat it so maybe it is somewhat back

[halcyon tide]

After going through P5 I don't think anyone ever finds their mind again

[barren thorn]

I

Died to the absrad climb in p5

3

TIMES

IN A ROW

[tribal charm]

nosk in p2 was a disappointment like cmon there had to be something a tad more difficult

[barren thorn]

DROVE ME INSANE

[manic light]

I was already stupid before soo
It doesn't matter !

[manic light]

Hmm the cheese spot
I love it !

-# it's useless...

[barren thorn]

Dw you'll love nosk in p5

Best boss ever

[tribal charm]

Like if they used a different arena ig, like maybe if they added some spikes beside a specific ledge

[tribal charm]

yum yum i love downgraded versions of weak bosses combined with even weaker bosses and given a janky ass hit box

yum winged nosk i love tolerating you so much

[barren thorn]

Oh you already know abt it

Do you know what the final boss of p4 is

[tribal charm]

Cant wait for Pure Vessel to eradicate my soul and spirit

[barren thorn]

It's my favorite boss

[naive iron]

hallos

[barren thorn]

Hi

[manic light]

-# soul tyrant is still better

[halcyon tide]

Once you have his attack patterns down pat, it's a walk in the park. It's almost like a dance. And each it's so epic

[manic light]

Haii !

[tribal charm]

so far my fav is NKG

Soul Tyrant easy second

[barren thorn]

Both of those bosses are up there for me too

[tribal charm]

And despite my earlier dissapointment i fuck with Oro and Mato heavy

[barren thorn]

Too slow-paced

[halcyon tide]

The music for both Grimm boss fights goes so damn hard too

[manic light]

I don't personally like nkg but soul tyrant !

[halcyon tide]

Especially when he goes all pufferfish in the first fight with the double bass pedals

[manic light]

Yes but the pufferfish phase is so laaame

It just make the fight wooorse

[halcyon tide]

Really? How come?

I always enter a zen state whenever it comes up xD

[tribal charm]

Only electric guitar!!!! So cool!!!! Its awesome!!!! I LOVE IT SO MUCH

[barren thorn]

One of the most epic moments of my hk experience was grimm doing his pufferfish attack for the first time and the music going crazy. Especially the 3rd pufferfish attack during the NKG fight

[halcyon tide]

Dude yesssss

I actually love Grimm though

He's just a showman

He doesn't really wanna kill us

[barren thorn]

When NKG reached 25% for the first time it was so fucking epic I still remsmber it

[tribal charm]

Grimm best character tbh, Elderbug is just an old fuck who doesn't understand true goths

[barren thorn]

Who doesn't

[halcyon tide]

Quirrel >>>

[tribal charm]

like literally this mfs goal is to die, killing us the last thing on his mind

[barren thorn]

Cloth is not the best, but underrated

[tribal charm]

I love Cloth frfr

rip

[manic light]

I never killed her !

[halcyon tide]

Exactly! It just so happens that he's really, really good at killing us anyway... haha... ah...

[barren thorn]

Traitor Lord suddenly stabbing her and then the final blow was one of the most epic moments in hk too

[halcyon tide]

Honestly all the NPCs are so heartwarming

[tribal charm]

#1 most epic moment will always be challenging the sun tbh

[barren thorn]

I'm still disappointed Myla died in my playthrough though

[manic light]

-# hmm

[halcyon tide]

Every time we stumbled upon them in Hallownest it made me so happy to see a friend adventuring with us. Like some familiarity

[barren thorn]

Same

[manic light]

-# tiso...

[halcyon tide]

...most of the NPCs

[tribal charm]

Tiso rules dont diss my goat Tiso

Hes and asshole but hes my asshole

[barren thorn]

I've watched Tiso get crushed in front of my very eyes like 20+ times

[halcyon tide]

Enemies to lovers

Sorry

[tribal charm]

why pale court is goated

[manic light]

-# divine...
-# you know the one that eat your charms ?

[tribal charm]

Literally just bc Tiso gets a gun

[halcyon tide]

I'll admit though whenever he does his little roar in the pantheons before getting pummelled by the... orange goo shooty thing with TRex claws... I always shake in fear just to honour his effort

[barren thorn]

I haven't ever tried a hk mod yet. Is it worth it?

[tribal charm]

shes funny and shes slay asf

[halcyon tide]

There's so many out there. There's bound to be plenty worth it to you :D

[tribal charm]

Tiso gets a nailgun

yes

yes it is

[halcyon tide]

And it's really easy to find one

[barren thorn]

I once saw a Pure Vessel + NKG mod which I wanna try

[manic light]

-# and the creature in queen's station..

[tribal charm]

Looks like hell but ill def download it

[tribal charm]

shes just hungy

let her snacc

[manic light]

You never dreamnailed her ?

[tribal charm]

Yeah i did but still

[halcyon tide]

If we let her snacc too much ||we'll be the snacc||

[tribal charm]

Shes just hungy

[tribal charm]

I feel like eating us would just kill her but nosk seems to eat vessels with no issue so idfk

[halcyon tide]

It does make you wonder how nutritious vessels are though

They're just shadow

And a bit of porcelain which I guess counts as the plate?

[manic light]

Hmm yummy !

[barren thorn]

I wouldn't be surprised if Pale King put that to the test

[tribal charm]

either actually fucking toxic or lifeblood squared, no inbetween

[halcyon tide]

He only needed like a couple vessels for the mission. The rest were his dinner

[barren thorn]

Fr

[halcyon tide]

That's a good point though

Vessels are darkness but also literal gods

And they can heal

I guess there's only one way to find out

[tribal charm]

and also void has some lifeblood connections

[manic light]

Now i want to eat vessels...

[halcyon tide]

I think everyone here does now

You're welcome ;'D

[barren thorn]

Eating them for lunch tmr

[balmy sage]

well i did acid skip

lol

[manic light]

gg

[halcyon tide]

So dope

[barren thorn]

Nice

[balmy sage]

i hate ismas tear

[halcyon tide]

Where do you intend on finding one?

[balmy sage]

i've gotten love key, i've done monomon acid, i've done QGA

i refuse to use ismas

worst item

[barren thorn]

The abyss has plenty

[manic light]

It's just bones..

[barren thorn]

I'll create one

[tribal charm]

it would probably be more of a drinking situation, probably pretty liquidy once you break the outer exoskeleton

[halcyon tide]

They'll probably eat you first ngl

[manic light]

And some shades

[halcyon tide]

Soup!!!

Vessels are soup!!!

[balmy sage]

void would taste tingly

tell me im wrong

[tribal charm]

You can break the white head part open and use it as a bowl

[manic light]

Now i want to eat the orange jelly...

[halcyon tide]

Like cola

Cola soup?

[barren thorn]

Very interesting conversation

[manic light]

Hmm yummy

[halcyon tide]

Fanta soup?

[tribal charm]

i assume it would be like, pineapple tingly but also kind of a thick liquid

[manic light]

It's maybe like cola

I don't know...

But it seems like it

You get it ?

[halcyon tide]

Weirdly I do

[tribal charm]

definitely jello, or like, one of those liquid filled gummies

[manic light]

Hmm

I have that taste in the mouth

Seems so cool

[balmy sage]

viscus acid

[tribal charm]

but like, spicy and acidic and it makes your mouth bleed and teeth fall out

[halcyon tide]

The way you say it makes me want an aspid to fire right in my mouth. There's no way that sentence was ever gonna sound right I'm sorry-

[barren thorn]

A primal aspid

[manic light]

Just acidic

[halcyon tide]

Burn them.

[manic light]

Hmm

[manic light]

They are cool what do you mean ?

[barren thorn]

Would you rather fight 3 primal aspids or do p5 all bindings

[manic light]

...

[balmy sage]

oh god

well in p5

[halcyon tide]

P5 all bindings

[balmy sage]

im probably fighting 3 primal aspids

seeing as collector

[manic light]

Primal aspids...

[balmy sage]

its horrible either way

help

[barren thorn]

Here's the catch

P5 all bindings or 3 primal aspids HITLESS

[balmy sage]

oh

uh

p5

[tribal charm]

Primal aspids, just let them chase you a bit and nuke em with shaman stone boosted shriek

[balmy sage]

that would probably take me like 500 attempts

3 primal aspids hitless??

is that even possible

[manic light]

Hmm
||Yummy jelly||

[halcyon tide]

Surely not

[barren thorn]

Anyrad 3.0 looks more possible

Than 3 primal aspids hitless

[balmy sage]

anyrad 3.0 hitless is more possible man

[tribal charm]

THE ACID JELLY??????

[halcyon tide]

It's just got a nice kick to it...

[manic light]

Yes the one from radiance

[halcyon tide]

Someone said like pineapples and I agree

[paper vapor]

shaman stone I fear

[tribal charm]

"Its got a nice kick to it," you say as your face and throat actively begin to melt.

[manic light]

Ooh maybe like that

[balmy sage]

i said viscus pinnaple juice

[halcyon tide]

Worth it

[tribal charm]

i said that for void 💀

[halcyon tide]

Hallownest is just pineapples tbh

[barren thorn]

You begin to wonder how bad the Radiance's abandonment issues have to be to make everyone consume this shit

[manic light]

Seems yummy...

[tribal charm]

Okay okay now heres the fucking question: What would Hornet taste like

[manic light]

The yellow jellies

[barren thorn]

Hornet

[cinder kraken]

[manic light]

A cricket

[barren thorn]

Hornet is vo-

[halcyon tide]

Pink lemonade

[tribal charm]

Like if you shrank her down and chewed her up, what does spider x wyrm taste like

[manic light]

A cricket

[halcyon tide]

I'm still saying pink lemonade

She's red and spiky

[barren thorn]

Maybe if you ate a real spider you'd get an idea

[halcyon tide]

And everyone likes her

[halcyon tide]

I can Google it

[tribal charm]

yeah but we dont know her specific species

[barren thorn]

It's as specific as we can get

[manic light]

-# why no one agree with meee ;-;

[tribal charm]

tarantula??? Black Widow??? Some australian hellbeast???

[halcyon tide]

"similar to crab or shrimp ... slight sweetness ... nutty flavour"

[tribal charm]

Yk what

[manic light]

A cricket...

[barren thorn]

Gonna find a spider rn

[tribal charm]

I can get behind shrimp

but what about the Pale Wyrm tho

[manic light]

Hmm

[halcyon tide]

Like a gourmet roast

[tribal charm]

what does he taste like

[manic light]

Spiky thing

[warm echo]

Australian Black Widow (redback spider)

[manic light]

Hmm
A spiky peanut...

[halcyon tide]

Are we just gonna go through all the characters now XD what have I started

I love this

Pale Wyrm will taste like betrayal

[tribal charm]

Nooo, its because hornet is both spider and wyrm

so she tastes like shrimp and whatever PK tastes like

[pliant musk]

Damn i rly couls go for some HK discord tag

[halcyon tide]

Vanilla ice cream with a chocolate flake?

[manic light]

A spiky peanut and a cricket...

Hum

Wrong reply...

[halcyon tide]

At this point I think hornet is a three course meal

[tribal charm]

Wait wait wait, what if PK tastes like, and hear me out now, bone broth

[barren thorn]

Scientists should just merge spider and wyrm dna and eat it

[warm echo]

I hear that worms taste like earthy & gritty fried bacon

[tribal charm]

yeah but hes a wyrm

[halcyon tide]

Woahhhhh

[tribal charm]

not a worm

[halcyon tide]

I think you're on to something

[warm echo]

Okay but Wyrms aren't real

So how can one eat them

[manic light]

-# ;-;

[halcyon tide]

One can dream

[manic light]

-# spiky peanut...

[tribal charm]

Im just saying, bone broth bc yk, the pale thing, and him emerging from a calcified husk

[halcyon tide]

I totally get it

And shrimp + bone broth

Bro

It works

That's like Michelin star level

[tribal charm]

So maybe hornet tastes like a bomb ass seafood boil

[halcyon tide]

Hell yeah she does!!

Ooh how about pale lady?

[tribal charm]

Dandelion

[halcyon tide]

My gut says broccoli but that feels a little disrespectful

Or cauliflower

[tribal charm]

tasty if you cook her right but bitter if you dont

[halcyon tide]

That kinda sums her up though

You know something I've always wondered

When she says that our vessel ||is the purest||

How do we know she doesn't say that to all of them that pass by?

[tribal charm]

i mean she woulda probably given them kingsoul so we're prob the first

[halcyon tide]

Does she give us kingsoul or do we find it? I don't remember

[karmic apex]

Hey guyss

[tribal charm]

she gives us half and the other half is in hell

[halcyon tide]

Heya!

Ahhh sounds about right

[karmic apex]

[halcyon tide]

I dunno maybe she's got a box full of copies in the back xD

[karmic apex]

She gives you kingsoul

Well

Half of it

[tribal charm]

LMAO that would be funny asf

[halcyon tide]

Because surely she knows ||that our vessel isn't actually pure|| but I guess that's up to interpretation. Maybe she was grasping at straws because her kingdom is in tatters

[manic light]

Wait...

How white lady tastes like ?

[tribal charm]

Maybe shes just wrong

[halcyon tide]

Either dandelion or cauliflower :D

[tribal charm]

like maybe shes just straight up mistaken

[halcyon tide]

She can see into our soul though

[manic light]

Hmm maybe

[halcyon tide]

How would she know whether we're pure or not without knowing what needs to be missing for that to be true?

[karmic apex]

I need a pfp

[halcyon tide]

Yours is already pretty bangin'

[tribal charm]

Like i said, she might just be wrong, she might just think we're hollow bc she doesnt fully know all the actual requirements

[halcyon tide]

Ahhh right I get you

[karmic apex]

Yay

[tribal charm]

like for all we know PK pulled those requirements out of his asshole

[halcyon tide]

Honestly with that many failed experiments, he must have

[tribal charm]

Like not one single vessel was actually hollow he had to be working with a flawed premise somewhere

[barren thorn]

The vessel he chose wasn't even pure

Those requirements are probably impossible

[halcyon tide]

True! People say that pale king made HK impure by developing that father-son bond, but it wouldn't have developed if HK never had the capacity to develop a bond, which is one of the requirements

[tribal charm]

Literally a truly hollow vessel would probably be incapable of even moving

they woulda just busted out of their egg, flopped on the ground, and stayed there

[barren thorn]

Even the "pure" vessel in godhome has cut dream nail dialogue which further proves this point

[halcyon tide]

That makes me wonder whether all the failed ones were the pure ones all along :o

But then again, the void does have purpose

And it does have mobility

[tribal charm]

The void has will, its just not united, so theres no way any vessel could ever be truly hollow

[halcyon tide]

Does each vessel have a will of its own or do they all share the same will of the void?

[tribal charm]

considering Hollow loves their dad and the void as a whole hates pk, probably they all have a will of their own

[halcyon tide]

Makes sense

They all come from the same substance but I feel like being part-god through white lady and pale king introduces some variance

Like, they're all twins

[tribal charm]

they do seem to share some common similarities thanks to the void tho, as theyre all genderless

or are they sexless? cant recall atm

[halcyon tide]

Maybe they're all ingrained with the will of the void but they also have the human side which gives them free will?

I say human but I guess it's... bug... side

[halcyon tide]

I think both

[midnight oasis]

Nah

[warm echo]

Devs said genderless, but it's probably both

[midnight oasis]

BV and Hornet are women

[halcyon tide]

They're also not vessels

And not void

[midnight oasis]

Yeah Broken Vessel isn't a vessel

Nice argument

[barren thorn]

Hornet isn't void

[halcyon tide]

Oh BV is! My bad

[balmy sage]

i hate ismas

[halcyon tide]

I forgot what BV meant for a second. BV is genderless

[midnight oasis]

Anyway if Hornet can have a gender why can't vessels have one

[balmy sage]

vessels got their gender sucked out by void

essentially

they have no identity

[midnight oasis]

Word salad

Gender is not physical and therefore cannot be sucked out by void

[balmy sage]

look you're asking lore and are getting annoyed when we give it to you

[halcyon tide]

Hornet wasn't born from void. She was born from the pale king and herrah

[midnight oasis]

Additionally no concept of gender would've existed within the vessel while they were in the egg

That would come AFTER they were born

[midnight oasis]

Void "sucking out gender" isn't lore

[barren thorn]

Hornet isn't a vessel. She wasn't created in the same way as them

[balmy sage]

vessels were made

to have NO IDENTITY

[young otter]

ok hear me out
plants don't have gender

white lady

[halcyon tide]

The void never sucked out the gender. There was never gender in the first place. The void is nothing

[midnight oasis]

Source

[balmy sage]

this allows them to not be corrupted by the radience

who spreads on identity

the reason the hollow knight failed

was because it had a will

which was identity

[midnight oasis]

So... vessels can have identity

[balmy sage]

imperfect vessels can

but that was the only remaining sense of identity

[midnight oasis]

All of them

[balmy sage]

even the ghost we play as has will

[midnight oasis]

No pure vessel exists AFAIK

So your point is meaningless

[balmy sage]

other then pure vessel

[midnight oasis]

I'd agree a pure vessel can't have gender

[halcyon tide]

True but that doesn't mean they have gender

Will, identity, and gender are distinct imo

[balmy sage]

look all vessels were pure before something instilled an identity into them

[midnight oasis]

Fanon

Not at all supported by the game

[barren thorn]

Perfect or not, vessels are basically shells filled with void, how can that have a gender?

[balmy sage]

does a rock have a gender??

ffs

[halcyon tide]

It's entirely supported by the game :')

[junior ocean]

[halcyon tide]

Saying BV is a woman isn't supported
