I know what you mean. Steel Soul just sounds frustrating as hell, I kinda wish there was just NG+. But that would be kinda tough for a Metroidvania I guess.
Might try a few speedruns though.
Ice Climbers combo of Celeste and Hollow Knight would be cool with me.
shovel knight has dibs on first indie platformer character in smash
Oh fuckin c'mon. I'm messing around.
Celeste is good, but Hollow Knight is on a whole 'nother level as far as I'm concerned.
This is instantly one of the best Switch games ever.
Glad they put such care into this version. I played it for a couple of hours on PC, but this feels right at home on a Nintendo platform.
Surprisingly I don't hate the d-pad in portable mode- I find it ruins most 2D Switch games for me, but the pace of this game it just works.
Can't wait to try it on the TV with the pro controller. Love the 60fps
All this after only 3 hours with the game

I finally beat the game after 35 hours and it was an amazing ride. I mean I took my switch with me almost everyday to play and I never do that usually.

white palace.
Also, does anyone know what is the deal about that strange talking mushroom in Fungal wastes. I talked to him once and he told me something about the wyrm, but now it's all gibberish.
I used the analog stick for my 35 hours, didn't have an issue once.
Hey you don't know what their biological/lifecycle process is like! Don't judge!
I actually wish it was more straightforward than it is implied to be.
It's implied by both the sounds he makes and the description on the charm he awards you that he's the host for the eventual metamorphosis of his children who will eventually mature and burst out of him.
Still creepy and grim but not as outright nihilistic as I first thought.
Traitor Lord was buffed recently IIRC. Which I don't have an issue with, considering he was way too easy to beat for how late in the game he showed up.
This took me a while too
if I remember right, leave the area from the top and go to the left. You should drop into a room where there is a hidden wall on the right side that will take you to him
Switch is 1080p, right? This game would probably look super nice at 4K.
just got the final nail upgrade
when he steeped out, i was expecting a boss fight. not... that
also coliseum of fools was fun. a little bit easy tho. i did the first two challenges, now with an upgraded nail i'll try the third.

i was wondering what his deal was as well. thanks for the tip. are there more of these instances of having to wear an specific charm to trigger dialogue?
I think the Defender's Crest tricks a couple of characters into thinking you're the Dung Defender, and you can get a bit of lore that way.
Defender's Crest (I think thats what it's called) is the first charm that comes.
Edit: Beat me to it.
Definitely not. Probably closer to 720p. We really need DigitalFoundry to make a comparison vid of the game.
Just found out the OST is on Spotify. Time to listen to Mantis Lords on repeat.
i have all the vessel fragments finally >_<
the last one was insane, tricky platform seccion with a LONG way from safe point to the next.
im already afraid of those famous white castle/path of pain T_T
now i only need to kill one dream boss and i will be ready to go on i think

Holy shit the OST is on Spotify?? Gonna listen to so much of it on repeat. I'd buy a physical copy if it was available...the music is so good I especially love the city one.
I just died for the first time and now my energy refill ball is broken. How do I fix it?
EDIT: got it. Dark Souls like.

Steel soul isn't too bad. Just make sure that you make yourself strong enough to beat all the normal bosses easily. Use fragile heart and some healing buff charms. Dream bosses don't count as deaths. Also if you find yourself stuck in a location and low on hp and soul you can always exit out to go to a bench. Though you should probably run grubsong so that doesnt happen.
Reclaim your soul (where you died). It's marked on the map.
Find your shade (black ghost thing) where you died and kill it.
Hmm I guess I might give it a try. Permadeath is always offputting to me though, I hate the idea of progressing so much for several hours just to have it all wiped away.
That can definitely happen if you aren't careful. I was doing the steel soul 100% and the 20 hr 100% speedrun achievement at the same time so I was a bit rushed (which is silly as 20hrs is like 2x the amount of time you need). Then I died to collector at like 90% 6 hours in. This was back when 100% was all there was. Now you have the choice to avoid certain paths and still get 100%. I'd definitely avoid traitor lord at least until full build.
you mean the dream boss fight? i attempted it, but lost. i'll come back later
also did they really write 57 words of wisdom for zote? this game...
and zote believing his own bs when you dream nail him is so funny

I remember having the worst time going through
when I played the game a year ago, but this time I just blazed through it like it was nothing.
Either I've gotten much better at platforming or I got really lucky.
Well either way, feels nice to have it done. I was kinda dreading going back to that place lol.

I feel like Celeste prepared me pretty adequately for it. At least mentally.
