I'm not sure how much this qualifies as a spoiler, so just to be on the safe side you will be able to get tools which make spike bouncing much easier.

SirSamVimes posted:Pogoing off spikes is actually never required at all except for the Path of Pain (don't look at that spoiler nat 20) but it's definitely useful tech. You're forgetting the centipede gauntlet in Deepnest.

I never used the compass, but I did occasionally look up a walkthrough to check where in an area Cornifer would be.

I think Nat is doing a pretty good job of attempting to put the lore together given the amount of information that's been presented at this point, which is not much.

I hope Nat doesn't miss anything by entering a room and then immediately leaving. That still fills it out on your map, so it might not be obvious you haven't explored there.

C-Euro posted:I hesitate to call any upgrade in this game mandatory, but the Lantern is awfully close to being required to beat the game. It makes a few areas much more tolerable, to the point where I can't imagine doing them sans Lantern. In fact when I started up my playthrough just now I took a detour to Dirtmouth to buy the Lantern...only to realize that I had already purchased it I assume you mean store bought upgrades, because you definitely need the upgrades like the dash, wall jump, double jump, and so on. You also actually do need the Lantern - Distant Village is behind a locked gate, and you can't open it in the dark, which I learned the hard way on my first attempt to get the speedrun achievements.

Simply Simon posted:This is about where the actual story begins to happen. It's crazy how much more sense what the Dreamers say makes after you've finished the game. Right now, it might as well be gibberish. I've seen everything in the game, watched a lot of lore videos and such, and I'm still not entirely sure what happens when they first appear in Greenpath. Reveilled posted:I know when I first saw hornet looking down at me from that ledge in Greenpath I was determined to get up there and spent 15 minutes luring the mosquito enemy into juuust the right place so I could pogo off it to reach. The speedrun trick there is that the Vengeful Spirit pushes you backwards a bit, so if you jump, turn to face away from the ledge, and cast three times, it'll push you backwards onto it.

His only goal to ensure every sign and lamp post in Hallownest is as pristine as the days the great king walked its paths. Most will never catch sight of this reclusive artisan, or ever know he was there, but when they turn their backs for even a moment they will find every broken sign silently replaced without a hint of damage. https://hollowknight.fandom.com/wiki/Menderbug

I'm glad you found that event because it's technically missable!

Nat walked into that room with the bench before, but it was blocked off by a one way door, so you didnt actually make it to the bench itself.

Yeah, there's a few reasons - most of which have already been discussed - that Nat had a much easier time with the Watcher Knights. First, you can encounter them much earlier (you don't even need the monarch wings, actually), before you're reasonably equipped to fight them. Second, a lot of people (myself include) tend to focus on full strength builds resolving soul for healing, and that just doesn't work for this fight because the Knights don't stagger and their attacks come quick enough that you can't heal easily. The most effective way is indeed using spells to do as much damage as quickly as possible. I do think Nat also got a bit lucky when it came to avoiding the bouncing attacks when healing.

Dareon posted:There's two things I know Nat hasn't gotten yet: The Weaversong charm and the grub stash. I do not remember where either of them actually is in there, though. I'm pretty sure it's the Weaver's Den in general. Which is actually not in Distant Village itself, it's off to the east of that large room with the dream tree. Look for a Devout blocking a path that seems to be protecting nothing - the entrance is actually behind it. I also hope you go back and save Bretta sometime.

pun pundit posted:Prediction: In three episodes, Nat beats Nightmare Grimm and Adjective Zote both first try. If he wants to get to GPZ, he'll still have to save Bretta. I never used the Nail Arts until I did the Trial of the Fool, where (as Alxprit said) they're great for dealing with weaker enemies quickly. Replaying the game I use them a lot more, though Cyclone Slash is probably the least useful. Which is a shame because Mato is great. There is a bit of a trade-off in that fewer times striking an enemy means less Soul collected, though.

Marluxia posted:Nice job on Hornet 2! It's just the first fight but the increased speed throws off a lot of people She has some new moves, like the traps she throws out, or being able to jump off of the walls. I hope Nat remembers to revisit Bardoon now he has the monarch wings. That's probably one of the most direct sources of lore.

You don't take double damage on Steel Soul, it's just a mode with no respawns.

Elder Hu's basically a test of how well you understand the dash mechanic. Once you have Shade Cloak it becomes a lot easier. It's also a pretty good fight to use Shape of Unn in, since it lets you move around while healing. Howling Wraiths does stall you in place for a fair amount of time, and I believe it doesn't have a whole lot of invincibility frames, so it is a bit of a risk to use. I love how covered in paint Sheo's arena gets.

When the Grimm Troupe DLC launched, it was true that the circus would disappear when Grimm was defeated, and you would lose your chance to get the unbreakable charms. Team Cherry obviously realized the problem with that, and fixed it so now Divine will stay even when the rest of the circus leaves. The Collector's an interesting boss, because, being made of void, it doesn't give you any soul when you hit it. Of course, the add-ons still give you plenty of opportunity to gain soul, but it's an extra thing to deal with. fractalairduct fucked around with this message at 04:55 on Aug 13, 2021 |

Solitair posted:Joni's Blessing is probably my favorite charm in the game for this reason. It was always what I put on when I had a hard time with a new boss. Yeah I tend to use at least one of Joni's Blessing/Quick Focus/Shape of Unn as essentially training wheels for a boss fight to give me more time to learn their patterns and figure out how they work. Once I've got that down I can change to focus on dealing damage.

Banishing the Troupe gets you Brumm playing the accordion in Dirmouth. Forever. Poor Elderbug never gets his peace and quiet. I think it's clear what the morally correct choice here is.
