Small question for all you people who are better at this game than I am: what's Pink Bee (who is actually a hornet, I guess)'s name? Or is that a spoiler?

Yep. It's Hornet.

Yep. It's Hornet.

So, then what is she? A hornet named Hornet? A bee named Hornet? Or a beetle or something with dreams?

I don't know.
Possibly yet.

Can anyone tell me what about this OC of mine contradicts canon?

“Meira- a damselfly who secluded herself to live in a distant room in Deepnest as she's so paranoid of the infection, and I MEAN paranoid. She's utterly lost her mind due to this, only eating from going out hunting every now and then with her sewing pin (STRICTLY preying on ONLY those who are definitely aseptic). She'd have a mental breakdown upon seeing The Knight, but burst into tears of happiness that it isn't infected. Ironically, her name means light. If she were to find that out she'd change it.”

Does anyone have charm recommendations for Hornet II?
I have six notches, and am willing to get a seventh soon.

I beat the Radiance and, having beaten the game, achieved Dream No More!

Since the max completion percent is 112%, I wonder if it's possible to get exactly 100% before the end of the game. In any case, I got to 99% before beating the game (and still have 99% after).

Of course, I still have to worry about Godhome… and the flower quest… those'll certainly be fun! For another day.

Guys can you stop doing invisible text I'm on mobile and it's really annoying to get notifications about this topic and I can't even read any of the posts. Obviously spoilers are expected on a topic about a game, so you don't need to do invisible text on EVERY SINGLE POST.

Volix-

Finished the game

But just the Hollow Knight – I want to dream nail him soon (because the true final boss)
Time:
78% in 28 hrs 38 min and 4 seconds

Wow… my time was 99% in around 60 hours. I did do the The Grimm Troupe content pack though, and of course I went for the dream-nail route. But still! I guess I don't play very quickly!

PS: I didn't even get stuck spending hours on any bosses or challenges! Well, besides NKG, but that was a super fun fight anyway.

Is there anything specific I have to do to get the best ending in this game? I've heard that it depends on how much of it you complete (and if so I want to start on that early), but I'm not sure.

I think it's something to do with a specific charm and/or the DN.

Can I have any tips and charm recommendations for the Watcher Knights?
I'm not intentionally rushing through the Dreamers. Herrah was intentional, Monomon was accidental, and I'm only doing this as it's compulsory and I just want this (the fight, not Lurien) over with.

If you've been to the waterways, you may or may not have flukenest – if you do, USE IT.
My charm build was…

Flukenest (with shade soul)
Shaman Stone

yeah just that, it's 6 notches
Spam the shade soul/vengeful spirit, and watch (get it?) them tumble

Flukenest can be found by defeating a secret boss in western Royal Waterways.

I guess it's late-game stuff then? Nothing I can miss early game?

I'll maybe get an eighth notch and combine your combination with Weaversong.
It'll be amazing.

Don't worry – it's impossible to miss it. You can actually get the other endings without missing the best one (the game reloads your save from right before you end the game, and you'll still be able to explore and complete what you need to access the best ending.
