Help i just died in my 101% steel soul save. I died in the stage after the no-floor part in the trial of the fool. This would be a tragedy if I hadn't backed up all my saves 2 months ago. But now i have a reason to replay the entire game.

Anyway, isn't it crazy that penguizn0 beat Soul Tyrant in 20 minutes with no upgrades?

Yeah. I always have a walkthrough for Metroidvanias because I'm always worried about doing things in the right order and playing the game right.

For Metroidvanias, I don’t think that that there is a playing the game wrong or doing things out of order. There is probably an intended order, but there are no wrong orders. Except if you manage to get in an area that you legitimately can’t get out of, like if you’re trapped because you hadn’t gotten an upgrade that lets you get out. If that’s the case it’s the designer’s fault for letting players do that. But I haven’t played a game where that happens. I think the experience is better if you figure out what to do by yourself.

for me i used a walkthrough and got spoiled. for silksong if it ever comes out, i won't use a walkthrough until i've at least gotten one ending.

just got dead cells, it is better than hollow knight
somewhat on topic

Dang, this topic hasn't had a single post in over a year.

Hollow Knight's a pretty cool game. I'm currently in Deepnest, trying to get the dreamer there. I've never completed the game - I'm pretty bad… I was stuck on Soul Master for forever.

i thought dead cells was a different genre of game than hollow knight
not sure why it took me 2 years to type this message

I beat the Eternal Ordeal.
Also for my first full playthrough, I got over the whole “always need a walkthrough” and just wandered until I found things.

P5 Collector is pain.
I thought it was gonna be easy, its just changed enemies.
I was oh so wrong. Help.

Back when I still played the game regularly and was trying to beat the pantheons, I would practice bosses in the Hall of Gods on Ascended difficulty. One of the bosses I practiced regularly was Collector and I didn't find the new enemies to be that difficult to deal with. Just use a charm that increases nail damage (such as Unbreakable Strength) and you should deal with the enemies better (Source: I beat Collector on Ascended 3 times in a row (and almost beat it on Radiant (I had to have been like a couple of hits away)))

Do take my opinion with a grain of salt though since I never ended up beating Pantheons 3, 4, and 5. (And I also never beat the game, like, ever)
Although I might go back to grinding the pantheons. I have 110% completion and I think it would be funny if my first completion of Hollow Knight was a 112% on with the Pantheon 5 ending. (The reason I never beat it is because Sly is &%*#&#* impossible, even without all the Pantheon 3 bosses before him.)

(dead topic lol)

Also its funny how my last post on this topic I was complaining about Deepnest lol

pure vessel and nkg made me appreciate quick focus a lot more, now I cant take this charm off or else it will mess with my muscle memory, thank you pure vessel and nkg for ruining my muscle memory very cool

I love it when knights are hollow and they play songs of silk.

Seriously though, I've started playing Hollow Knight again, and I love it!

Yes I am! Although, my original Hollow Knight hyperfixation was comedically short (it lasted, like, a week). Glad to see you are also one.
