Hollow Knight has a definite 'can't go home' problem since most of your increase in power comes from getting better at the game, so I'm glad they added harder content so I can continue to enjoy Hollow Knight rather than just smash through it.* *I haven't played any new content yet, this sentiment may change.

Hey so there's a real, real bad bug in the final boss of the dlc. Like it needs to get patched asap. During the climb up to hit Absolute Radiance if you gently caress up and fall into the void it respawns you below the void wall. You can no longer climb without hitting the damage floor (now ceiling) and you just have to accept the loss Oof :S

I remember Hornet wiping the floor with me so many times, and now when I fight her again it's almost too slow and I take more damage getting impatient than from her actual attacks. I can only imagine the god-tier skill of the devs who actually made the game, given the talent on display on hitless this-or-that runs.

OK now, just bear with me here: Path of Pain sections between bosses. Radiant Path of Pain Pantheon of Pain call me team cherry, I write endgame design fanfiction for fun. We could lock so much canon behind this!

Beat Pantheon 4 finally with Verulean's charm build of Unbreakable/Fragile Strength, Mark of Pride, Shaman Stone and Spell Twister and using Descending Dark. (this video) If you haven't beaten it yet, don't forget that after seeing the new boss once you can practice it in the boss refight hall! Pantheon 5: Lmao Tiso If the pantheon fights are the same as the attuned fights in the boss hall, shouldn't beating the pantheons give you credit for the respective attuned bosses?

the greatest trick team cherry ever pulled was putting a bad (spoiler padding) ending behind some super hard content and leaving their fans feeling like they're missing out on story because they've done it so many times in the game already lol

Speaking of, I have good news! There's 2 endings. I'm not going to bother getting the other one.Cowcaster posted:yeah man ascending to the abyss godhood version of the radiance and advancing on hornet with your nail drawn while she takes a combat stance super canon Actually I need to see it again I guess but I thought it was implied that it was the Hollow Knight coming out of the egg uncorrupted which is why she's caught off guard. If it really does reverse the infection then that means there's a canon way to save Myla.

OK, hear me out: the Yellow Devil, but made of primal aspids. No floor. ...generally I think Hollow Knight really suffers by not taking advantage of the possibilities offered by autoscrolling. Discendo Vox fucked around with this message at 20:07 on Aug 24, 2018 |

Here's the second ending if you can't be bothered. Now that I'm seeing it again it is the pure nail, I just saw the void as cracks and was kind of in a rush so didn't notice the pure markings. That said the door and windows to the shrine are clearly seen in the background so idk ThisIsACoolGuy fucked around with this message at 20:05 on Aug 24, 2018 |

Nothing in this game is mandatory. That's the essence of Metroidvania. I do what I think I'll enjoy and I don't do what I think I won't, and I think that's wise words to live by.

I'm not the one who designed it, so it was legit hard for me the first few times. I designed the Colosseum waves though, so if you raged out at the Trial of Fools you can blame me. I actually realised after release that I accidentally put in more enemies than I meant to in the bit with spikes at the bottom where you have to continually wall-jump. People dealt with it though, so oh well! LIAR!

Given that the sting is the Vessel's leitmotif, and the pointed jingling of chains, I'm inclined to believe that ending is the Knight and Godseeker ascending to godhood and the one confronting Hornet is the Vessel. I guess displacing the Radiance personally from within Godhome with the full power of the Void is basically booting it from the Dream realm entirely?

Is my life going to be dramatically better if I get a controller for my PC Hollow Knight? I'm using a keyboard right now and it's alright, just curious if somehow I'm missing out. I've never owned a controller for my PC in 30 years of PC gaming, unless you count lovely joysticks for flight sims back in the 90s. Where do I even start?

You don't need a controller, I've been watching a speedrunner go through the new update with a keyboard and she's a hell of a lot better with it than I am with a gamepad. If you want one anyway just pick up an Xbox or PS4 controller and plug it into your PC. Most modern games don't require any more work than that.

The game plays much more naturally on a controller imo. I use my PS4 controller and that works fine for me.

Just found out boss rush Hornet has different dreamnail dialog than normal. She seems to notice the spectators in the back. Who wants to dreamnail every boss to see if others are changed? The bindings in boss rush seem to be: Charms, no charms (unsurprisingly); Shell, default health (4); Soul, one third default soul (enough for one spell); Nail, reduced damage but not default nail damage (vengeflies still die in one hit). Anyone know exactly how the nail binding works?
