Hollow Knight [Official Topic]

ninjito

Pantheon of the Daughter
all of these will be in Godhome too.
BUNCHASPOILERS
Sisters of Destruction
First, fight 1 mantis lord. Then, fight three at the same time. Finally, fight 3 more at the same time.

Hive King
Hive Knight is more royal then ever. He's faster and does 2 damage. He spawns 1 Hive Guardian every time you stagger him.

The Hunter
This time, he actually fights you. Not a troll. A little slow, but also deals much damage. He does 2 damage to you every hit.

RESTING SPOT
No soul pool, just a bench.

The Radiance
Just plain ol' Radiance. It's not absolute, I don't want to make it impossible. (though the previous three are also basically impossible xD)

Brothers of Mastery
Paintmaster Sheo joins in with Nailmaster Mato and fight you at the same time. Defeat those two, and fight Nailmaster Oro.

final one
Daughter of Hallownest
Here's the fight: Daughter of Hallownest fight
This is a mod created by someone else though, not my idea.
The rest of the pantheon is my idea and in the way I wanted it to be in order though

To be specific, I'm currently on the bench right between the tower of Wingmoulds I spent an hour on figuring out a strategy for and the horrendous merciless gauntlet above.
I don't know if I can take it for much longer.

Don't worry. You just have to go through MIND-DESTROYING MILLIONS OF SAWBLADES AND SPIKE POGOING.

Well, things just got a whole lot crazier.
I don’t know how this happened, but I defeated the Raadiance in…
Uno try????!?!?!?!?
and pls I’m not bragging
I really don’t know how…
Uhhh lol
Charms I recommend are
Unbreakable/Fragile strength
Shaman stone (essential to this)
Spell twister
voidheart lol
Definitely Fragile/Unbreakable heart

Abyss shriek is also essential

Even though I beat it in one try I don’t think I could do it again…
Pantheons are next…

Nice!

That boss took me a few tries. I went for a fair amount of Godmaster stuff as well as NKG before succeeding at it. Good luck and have fun with the Pantheons (I say, having beaten exactly zero so far!

).

White Palace is quite a misery.
I either breeze or struggle through the giant room before the last (doors opened); there's no middle ground.
But my main problem is I never have the soul I need.
Even when I Dreamnail the Retainers over and over and have a full meter, soul vessels included, and all 7 masks, it's never enough.

And no, I don't have Hiveblood.

hmmmst I need a good quote

Since there's basically no fighting in the White Palace, you have the opportunity to make good use of healing charms. While Hiveblood is a good choice as you mentioned, there are other options too – when I went through, I used Grubsong and Deep Focus. That makes your soul last a LOT longer, because taking enough damage to fill your soul meter 1/3 full (enough to heal) comes from just over 2 damage – and when you get to the Wingmould “enemies”, you'll be able to fill your soul meter all the way back full, giving you enough to get through the next stretch without any recharge.

Update: still bad at this game. Have gotten nowhere.

But I wrote some very bad fanfiction for it.

Me!!! Especially because I'm going to make a very, very conscious effort not to spoil myself while I play. When I first played through Hollow Knight, I got to the Watcher Knights but then took a pretty long break because I honestly felt like I just couldn't get past them (and I didn't think to just explore elsewhere in the meanwhile). I ended up watching a lot of HK videos on YouTube and while that definitely helped equip me with strategy and general better knowledge for when I came back, it also effectively spoiled a pretty significant amount of surprise from it. Since I'm more confident in my Hollow Knight game-playing (and learning!) ability now, I'm going to totally avoid spoilers for Silksong.

(Also I'm suuuper excited for the new music and scenery and characters in Silksong…. YAY!

)

Has first ending; very nearly finished White Palace though I keep procrastinating on it due to frustration.
I don't know whether I'll do it myself or ask my friend a kind favour to successfully make his way through the very very last bit as that one saw in there is driving me crazy…

I managed to clear the White Palace yesterday.
I'll give you some tips to hopefully save some sanity and/or patience:

Highly recommended charms:
- Deep Focus (heals 2 masks at once. The reduced speed won't matter, you have all the time you need.)
- Grubsong (gives soul upon damage. You may find yourself jumping into the same saw/spear/whatever many many times, and this allows for easier recovery.)
- (didn't have but I recommend) Hiveblood (the last mask you lost will be automatically recovered, for no soul, after a brief wait. I can imagine it saves a lot of soul if you're patient enough.)
Other charms; use if you want:
- Longnail/Mark of Pride (increases range of nail; the latter more than the former- helps for pogoing you may want to do- it's only compulsory at the very start and end, and optional for lots and lots and lots of things.)
- Dashmaster (reduces time gap between two dashes directly one after another by about half, and also makes downwards dashing possible. May help for certain sections.)

Be patient. Stop when you need to.
Take breaks.
Maybe turn off the music and listen to something that'll soothe you/you like.
Take time to unleash your stress, if needed.
Persevere. It may take a while, but that doesn't mean you'll never do it.

Thank you for reading.
