Bruh... I bailed out of PoP without reaching the first checkpoint. And you did it with fucking keyboard? You shitting me? XD
Glad to finally be in on the hype, playing on PS4 right now. I don't think I'm very far, just finished up City of Tears and killed that boss in Soul Sanctum. The guy at the starting town told me to go "beyond the graveyard" but to the right was only that lady in the cave, so went up and left to the Howling Cliffs or whatever they're called. Man I love how different all the areas in this game feel. City of Tears was a big fuckin mood.
Not sure on where to go next (I'm playing without a guide) but will probably dick around these cliffs and try to make sure I can't get past that weird wind tunnel thing on the left side and then maybe go and find somewhere else to go. That spin slash I got seems useful too!
Yeah... My controller broke down a couple of months ago so I've played through the whole game keyboard-style, it was weird at first but now I'm so used to it I think it would feel weird playing the game with a controller lol.Bruh... I bailed out of PoP without reaching the first checkpoint. And you did it with fucking keyboard? You shitting me? XD
man I haven't touched this since the night I beat Pantheon of Hallownest. i want to come back and finish platting it but i'm worried that two months off mighta made me forget everything, and i still have all the steel soul achievements ahead of me
Had a load of fun. Went down to the Fungal Wastes, went all the way down to the place with all the big worms and spiders and got the tram pass, got caught in the "beast's den" or whatever it was with the fake bench (but didn't see the actual beast?)
Had some really REALLY close calls, trying to beat those big shielded spiders with one heart, trying to not lose my precious Geo. It felt super tense and like I was really exploring the world. Glad I'm doing it without a guide.
Anyway after that I managed to clear out all the vendors and have been going through Crystal Peak. I accidentally got the Dream Nail really quick (i have no idea what it does or how I can use it, I guess it just displays the thoughts of enemies) but I guess I'm going to keep exploring here. I also found King's Station so I guess that's the next area. I see that "Dreamers" are added to my map and assume they have something to do with the Black Egg shrine or whatever it's called.
1) Yes, it's like Dark Souls in that way. If you die, you have to return to your ghost and defeat it to get your money back.So, when I die I need to come back to get my "money" back, right? I killed some bosses (I guess) but now some of them appear to be "pre-bosses" (need to kill them before killing a new boss), if I understood correctly after I kill a boss it doesn't respawn anymore in that location, yup?
I only played one hour but had a lot of fun, it is infuriating to lose life to some stupid bugs and learning patterns and how to kill enemies is fun. At first I thought it was stupid to have the option to mark stuff on the map, but now I already think I should buy those markers lol.
if you're just trying to get literally 100%, there are other ways to hit that because you can overshoot the 100% mark by a fair amount with other stuff. if you mean literally doing everything in the game, i'm surprised you're having more trouble with that than with some of the Pantheons
I started playing this yesterday, and I've liked it thus far - although it was nicer once I got the map from Cornifer and bought the compass and quill.
Just defeated False Knight on my first try, but I guess I shouldn't get to confident.
Is there an option for a ranged attack down the road? I saw a bug with a hard shell that I can't attack once I get close.

Yeah, I literally posted this, moved to the next room and found the spell. That bloody bug has hard, though.Yep. If you want to know where to get it:
Proceed to the left of the False Knight room.

Don't know anything about a spoiler-free guide, but yes, it's likely that you need to do more to get the best ending. Note that you can always reload the save after getting a different ending and get the requirements later. If you want to know what those requirements are...I'm 30 hours into this and have just done the 3rd and finalto open thesleeper boss thingblack egg
So far I've been playing blind so wanted to know if there is anything I need to do to get the best ending before going into theegg
Is there a spoiler free guide anywhere?
Also how does the DLC work for this game, do you need to activate any of it or is it best doing any before the end of the game?

You need to know more about your nature.To do that, you'll need an upgraded Dream Nail. And are you freely able to explore Fog Canyon, by chance?Do you know enough about the rulers of Hallownest? You should investigate.Two rulers, two halves. Have to assemble two halves of a charm, then pay the Abyss a visit. Shade Cloak and an Awoken Dream Nail are the prerequisites to finding them.One half is in the Queen's Gardens. You'll need the Shade Cloak from the Abyss to get past those black gates blocking it. The other half is in the White Palace; upgrade your Dream Nail to "Awoken" and use it on that armored corpse in the Ancient Basin to get in (and then, prepare for Hell on earth). After you've assembled the pieces together into a charm, investigate the Abyss until you've found your birthplace. After an event happens, you'll be ready, and you'll have the option of getting the best ending once you've ventured into the black egg.
The DLC content that isn't already intermingled with your gameplay have their own activation switches. I'd definitely recommend doing them after you've already faced the ending, for a variety of reasons.
Anybody else get their Wanderer's Journal? It's an absolutely beautiful piece of work. I haven't completed the game yet so I'm having to resist the temptation to look at the later areas!
Hmmm I figured I'd be "international shipping" myself as I'm in the UK, so maybe you'll get it earlier than you think? But yeah it's perfectly in tone with the lore of the game and the art is, of course, beautiful. Full hardback :)Awesome. Mine is coming in late this month. International shipping seems to be at the end of June. How's the art and bits of lore of the sections you've read? Full hardback right?

Ok so I'm at the end of the game and I'm trying to beatand holy shit is it hardThe Radiance
Are there any tips or is there generally a good strategy?
I've got to the part with the platforms twice in about 20 attempts and I've died within 20 seconds of that phase each time
I went and upgraded by up magic spell so I've tried a few runs spamming that but after an hour or so or trying I've given up for the night
Am I at least close to the end?
If you did beat her, revisit the Ancient Basin.I think my last death was trying to kill Hornet, or I did kill her.
And I think there was some bosses scattered through the map after some kind of activation of a quest on the top left of the map...
You are very close to the end of the boss.
I'd say focus on dodging attacks and try not to get greedy with attacking. Every one of its attacks can be dodged and you don't really have time to heal once you get to the platform stage. Use charms that increase your damage output with the nail or magic depending on your playstyle.
After you beat the boss, look into the free DLC content which you should google to learn how to access.
God damn it, I spent another hour trying to beat it, and I got to the final platforming stage once
It's annoying in that it seems random and when I do well it's just luck. Some combinations of boss attacks just seem impossible to dodge without knowing what's happening in advance
When I do well it's just luck
You could try one of those loadouts that converts all your health into 15+ lifeblood masks. It's not like you're gonna have time to heal anyway. Other than that, shade dash or pogo to avoid attacks, and use your soul on abyss shriek when possible.
I did it just now, I think my save file was on 36 hours before I got to the egg, it ended up being 40.5, so a large part of my play through was this boss
Now I want to check out some lore videos to figure out what the hell just happened
Congrats on beating it! If you can believe it, there are some dlc bosses that will make that one look easy.
Mossbag on YouTube has some of the best lore videos. They're quite funny too!
If you did beat her, revisit the Ancient Basin.
Maybe take a screen of your map to show, what bosses appeared. I suspect you triggered the Grimm Troupe DLC or that are still the guardians.
Guys, I need a bit of advice.
I finished the western part of the City of Tears and the Soul Sanctum, and went to explore Crystal Peak. I got the crystal thing that lets you cross big distances and the upgrade to the spell (the descending dark, I think it is).
I don't know where to go now, though. I checked my map and I know I can either go to the Royal Waterway or to the Deepnest, but that particular area gives me the creeps. I'm not missing anything important by skipping the Deepnest now, and going to the waterway? Or should I just get some courage and explore it now?

Yeah, I forgot to mention I already explored the resting grounds! Got the nail already.Explore Crystal Peak some more. Particularly. Remember, there are no bottomless pits in this game. If you want the exact locationthe area to the bottom rightdrop down the gap before you get the upgrade for descending dark.
You don't have to beat him right now, feel free to save him for later.Btw, I've tried again a couple of times and lost to that boss from city of tears.

I decided to leave Deepnest for later, I tried to go in but it truly creeped me out.
Managed to get 100% completion at least. Guess Nightmare Grimm, Path of Pain, Trial of Fools, and Godmaster don't count, cause screw that
I beat Grimm and attempted Nightmare a few dozen times before giving up, so if those ghost miniboss fights are what you are referring to then I did do it. I also did the Hive.Game goes above 100% with the free dlc content. Up to 112% iirc. If you managed to get to 100 without doing trial of fools it's because you did some of the dlc content instead, probably hive knight and parts of the Grimm troupe (which I would also guess means you missed some of the ghost miniboss fights too, as they're worth 1% each).

Not those, you know how you find some random spirits of bugs floating around that let you challenge them to fights?
Ones that look like this :
Given that you've done grimme troupe up to NKG, you're missing 4-5% of the base game 100% would be. 1 of those is trial of fools, I suspect the others are ghosts you might not have found or upgrades you missed somewhere.
Yeah, I looked up and did most of them (maybe all of them, not sure) so I could get enough dream essence for the awoken nail. Fully upgraded the nail and got all charms and full soul and health.Not those, you know how you find some random spirits of bugs floating around that let you challenge them to fights?
