boy, I am not looking forward to trying to figure out which 3 grubs I missed later on
Very true, but like most things in this game, I didn't find this to be easy to find.There's a thing you can eventually acquire that will help with this.
I just watched this earlier and it's incredible, and now I'm inspired to give the game another run through and try a few of those tricks. Dude stays so cool and collected.
Watching him make a mockery of bosses that gave me so much grief is giving me mixed feelings, though.
Are you sure, you are in the right room? He's not where you fought him before, but a bit farther to the right, where you can only get up with the monarch wings. (I spent half an hour on that fucker with his goddamn double damage. -.-')Hey—I'm in the endgame, mopping stuff up. I am 99% sure I have not fought Crystal Guardian round 2, but when I go to his arena he doesn't show up. Does anyone know what might be causing this? I've seen other people mention it here and there online, but no mentions of a solution.
If this is the thing that keeps me from getting all mask shards, hoo boy.
Do you still have the other Dreamers left to defeat? Then move along, you don't have to do the Watchers now, you can safe them to the last moment with more upgrades n stuff.Oof - I'm going to unload some frustration here. Watcher Knights are killing all enjoyment I got from the game. I've been at them for what must be a grand total of four hours and I don't stand a chance. I've watched videos, upgraded my nail, but all to no avail - I keep losing and it's not even close.
Up until now I only had a little trouble with Soul Master and I don't consider myself to be particularly bad at this game or gaming in general but fuck me - I cannot get this done and I'm now fed up to the point I regret buying the game.
The fight is alleviated with the use of Shade Cloak, so if you don't have that yet I'd come back later. Outside of that and things like dropping the chandelier to stop one of them from spawning, it's a demanding fight. One strategy is to just upgrade yourself to the point that you can sit in a corner and face-tank them, killing them faster than they can kill you. Never tested that little strat for myself, though. Quick Focus, Mark of Pride, and Stalwart Shell are all good charms for doing the fight the normal way.Oof - I'm going to unload some frustration here.

Thanks, I actually used the dream nail on that white knight a lot of times but nothing happened, but now that I think about it I haven't tried again since I got the white fragment.The endings:
You need the second half of the white charm. Go to the Palace Grounds and use your dream nail on that white knight armor. You'll get access to the White Palace (Hiveblood charm gets very useful here). There you'll get the other half, and from then on out, it should be clear, what to do. After that process, you can go back to the Hollow Knight and fight him again; there will be a little something new, and you'll have access to the second ending and that said true ending. (There is also one more ending linked to Godhome, best to Google it later.)
The DLCs:
Most of it is mixed into the main game. A separate one is Godhome (mostly a boss rush) and Path of Pain (hardcore platforming. And when I say hardcore, I mean hardcore). Godhome's entrance is actually in the junk pit that you discovered (wtf, how did you do this? ^^), but you'll need a simple key to open it. It's hard to find, so that you won't stumble upon it by accident too early. Just use Google to find it, it won't spoil you the real game. Same goes for Path of Pain; it's hidden in the White Palace, but without knowing where to look, you most likely won't find it.
There is also The Grimms Troupe, which is pretty easy to find. Examine the Howling Cliffs. Maybe you already summond them and their red tents to Dirtmouth?
Perhaps it wasn't in Fungal Wastes, but I'm sure I've seen a locked door somewhere around that area, maybe it's for a shortcut and needs to be opened from inside. I'll try to snap a pic if I found it again.The Abyss door:
That's an odd one. You have to equip the charms that give you blue health; you need 15 hitpoints in blue, that all the lights at the door light up and it opens. But I don't know what you mean by the door in Fungal Wastes. Maybe you think of the door you used to get into the City of Tears? It closes behind you and can't be opened again.
Rancid eggs are pretty easy. Did you ever open the gate at the far right of Dirtmouth with a simple key? You pay Jiji with eggs for her service.
Absolutly. She's really off.Does anyone else think the voice for the map shop keeper is WAY too loud? Even sounds like the recording clipped a bit. I have to turn down the tv every time I go in there.

I've spent a couple hours over the past few days just running Pure Vessel after first bumping into him in the Pantheon—first normal, then Ascended, then fake-one-shot by overcharming Ascended. Unbelievably good fight. Easily the only one that's held me up as long as it has. Incredibly clean, incredibly fun. He and NKG are gonna be the big takeaways from this game's bosses I think.
otoh, the White Defender/Failed Champion/Markoth/Watcher Knights sequence in the 4th pantheon is pretty annoying. to my surprise I've gotten totally clean at Watcher Knights—White Defender and Failed Champion are the ones that put me on edge. I don't think those 4 are especially hard bosses, they just feel super messy and inconsistent (Watcher Knights less so), and it really knocks me off course.
My normal charm setup is Mark of Pride, Grubsong, Quick Slash, and Unbreakable Strength I think? I don't run Quick Focus because I don't heal except between bosses in the pantheon.Care to share your strategy and charm set up for pure vessel? That boss is my road block right now. I can consistently beat him to 50 % when he starts the exploding circles and sometimes under 25 % when he starts to shoot dark tentacles but there is no victory in sight.
I use quick focus, sharp shadow (since I mostly dash through his attacks), unbreakable strength, long nail and grub song.
As said, I dash mostly through his attacks. My main problem is are the blades from the ground. They hit me so often because I dash at every attack and I often land at a spot where a blade comes out.
He and NKG are gonna be the big takeaways from this game's bosses I think.
I've never had an issue with any other game but Hollow Knight. I love this game. But I keep dropping it. I've only made it to Mantis Lords. And then I quit and play something else.
I haven't played it since October. Should I just start fresh and really dig in or pick up where I left off? I'm leaning towards a clean restart. What say you?
God, I am at the point where Absolute Radiance is the only thing standing between me and PoH, and I'm not thrilled. This is exactly the kind of boss I don't like. I could run PV and NKG forever, I love those guys. This is just a shitshow.
I got AR down today, then got her another 5 or 6 times. So I guess I have her pretty down, although there wasn't really a eureka moment. Now that I am beating her regularly I feel a little more confident in saying that she's really a step down from Pure Vessel in fun/design. imo!
I dunno, I was kinda trying to figure that out. It's tricky because I went to do some exploration stuff partway through, I left it paused a couple times to make food and walk the dog and stuff, and also did way more NKG/PV runs than I needed to just because they were more fun than learning Markoth or AR.Congrats! How much time did you spend for the last pantheon? I mean with all the training bosses in the hall of gods and all failed attempts.
