im legit pretty upset about this thing with Calli's new song. I don't regularly watch any vtubers anymore but I still loved keeping up with her clips and especially I'm a big fan of her music!

I know this might be dumb but I feel betrayed a little... i'm so conflicted

another game i've never heard of...

I think the only 2022 game I played was Vampire Survivors and it was my 2022 GOTY

i think in this speed completion game I'll go ahead and finish the grimm troupe quest and try my hand at the big Grimm fight.

I saved Zote out of habit so I won't get that achievement... I guess that means when I do steel soul, zote's gonna die.

I will spare the nailsmith this time though

okay I'm now 6 hours into my Speed Completion attempt. I definitely think I'll get it, it's just a matter of time (heh)

oh no, I knew what you meant lol

I must mean I was actually worried about the time cause some of those bosses took me ages! I was trying to balance multiple attempts with just... going and getting more QOL upgrades.

anyway I'm not looking forward to Steel Soul

wow, lol. First try, huh.

i think watcher knights took me like 8 tries, dung defender 3 tries, uumuu two, and the hollow knight about 10 tries

the biggest thing was trying to transition to a magic build. Descending Dark does great damage but I have a really hard time getting the input to take before I fall on the enemy and take damage

i got 3 hours into a 100% run last night

ash x latias confirmed

that's two speedrun achievements done at once

next up is 100% in 20 hours huh

trying to go for the speedrun achievement. I doubt I'll get 5 hour my first try but 10 should be okay

currently being destroyed by the Watcher Knights though

Yeah, there's a separate achievement for 112%. Is that last % from the 4th pantheon? Cause... it'll be some time before I'm that good

oh wait I got the achievement for full completion?? with 111? huh

neat

okay the 4th pantheon is really really hard so I took a break and went back to the egg. The Radiance took me 3 tries but it was a fun one!

sucks to beat the game 1% shy of full completion though!!

Butterfree front and center oh MAN

alright, final pantheon unlocked but I gotta sleep.

111%

okay so I can beat Zote almost no problem now but I got smacked down by Sly

(actually we killed each other at the same time...)

went and practiced him a few times and got the hang of his spin attack in his second form. Let's go again!

was doing well in the pantheons until Nosk, so I practiced until I could beat him on Radiant. Then I kept going and ran facefirst into super-Zote... god, I have to practice against ZOTE? A fate worse than death

(not to be confused with the infinite Zote challenge, which is hell itself)

Completed the Hunter's Journal and got the mark! aaaand... it didn't increase my percentage. Still at 108

what could be left...

I've been playing mobile. Currently trying to find the coffin in Gallo Tower. I haven't done any of the challenge stages yet either.

Last thing I did was play Lama to unlock the skull. Had 180% Curse by the end of that run and enemies still couldn't even get on screen lmao

nope, iphone x

I could not get it out of my head that it was Mega Man Battle Network but none of the Mega Man spinoffs come up on the site? Not X, not Zero, not Battle Network. Weird.

yeah pretty sure I've beaten all the bosses now outside the Grimm rematch that would probably have been coming. I'll try Godhome tonight

achievement-wise it looks like... I gotta leave Zote to die next time? (Doesn't that lock you out of the Grey Prince fight?) plus the speedruns, the steel soul stuff, the hunters stuff, and 100% completion. Plus 10 hidden ones.

stopping for the night at 108%. Beat the colosseum FINALLY. Also grabbed the last charm notch... whoops.

I'm not entirely sure what the final percentage points are? do I need to complete the hunter log? does Godhome count toward the %? Surely I don't have to *complete* Godhome though...

after that, what, do I just go fight the Hollow Knight again and maybe something different will happen this time?

okay!! With Joni's Blessing and the other charm I did get that. And also scooped up the last few other charms I was missing. Then I grabbed a mask shard that was plainly obvious I'd overlooked, and finally tackled the flower quest... ugh

first try was a failure. So i carefully chose some charms. If it's 1 hit = failure then fragile strength is fine, and let's just Overcharm too! So I was using the ranged beam thing. Turns out that made all the difference and I got it my 2nd try.

Also went back and rescued Zote, then fought him in the colosseum (poor guy...) and then fought the dream version (fun fight! but oh god re-doing it he gets stronger FAST)

just tidying up some odds and ends now

https://cdn.discordapp.com/attachments/966247438757281802/1052891921179213824/image.png

do you really have to collect all the blue masks from the entire game... and make it back without getting hit...

I'm really looking forward to hitting some american restaurants when I get back. Subway, Chipotle, Taco Bell? didn't even eat them that often back in the day but after years without a sub or a burrito it's all I want!

so I'm really scared about what prices are gonna look like now

i mean he left the witcher because he didn't appreciate making a mockery of the source material he loves

I vaguely remember what that guy looks like... was he in character battles here?

VintageGin posted...

I did the same thing

It was very anticlimactic

I'll have to play a second time anyway cause there are some mutually exclusive decisions, right? Gotta spare the Nailmaster guy, for example.

Might try one of the speedrun achievements for the 2nd playthrough, I guess.

azuarc posted...

You're really plowing through everything.

it does help that with the map *mostly* explored, the other stuff only has so many places it can be hiding!

but yeah I hit 102% completion last night lol

okay, huge updates

So first I started collecting Grimm Troupe flames. But one guy was like, hey help me interrupt the ritual. Well you know me, I'm all about breaking cycles and stopping rituals, so yeah let's proceed down this story path instead and see what happens...!

...

oh, it just literally cancels the whole circus quest

okay

I was frustrated so I decided to go fight and beat the Hollow Knight. Took 2 or 3 tries. Fun fight. Definitely didn't expect him to stab himself!

Anyway roll credits, done with the game!!!

..................

so with that done, I went back to the royal waterways. I'd heard there was something there, so I focused my search on the area in the map where something could actually fit, and I was quickly rewarded with the junk pit. Hopped into Godhome and ohhhhh boy this is gonna be the end of me huh

While I was in the sewers I also went over and fought the White Defender. Took me quite a few tries, but like many bosses, when I was on "the run" I barely got hit at all.

By going through the godhome stuff I did see I had missed the Brooding Mawlek from WAY back in the game. Whoops! So I went back and QUICKLY killed that.

So then I wasn't sure what to do, and my friend reminded me there was a door I saw earlier that had the same mark as the King's Crest or whatever it was called. Right! Totally forgot! So then I ended up in the Abyss, and FINALLY GOT THE SHADE CLOAK. Okay sure there are only like 5 of those shadow barriers in the entire game, and one of them is pointless because you find the long way around (and get the map) long before. But still! The iframes are great.

So checking out those shadow barriers I'd marked earlier, most are just items but the Queen's Garden leads to a fun fight (RIP Cloth)

And I finally got the other half of the white mask. Had to unequip Long Nail, which has been a permanent fixture from the start, but hey infinite regenerating soul? Can't pass that up.

This mask thing says it opens the way to a birthplace, and Hornet in the Abyss said that was my birthplace, so I headed back. Explored around and found a weird egg thing... went inside and, boom, Void Heart. Now the enemy shades don't bother me, and all it cost was my amazing regenerating soul charm :(

That's about where I am now. There are 4 charms left, 2 mask shards, 1 colosseum round...

There's a door in the abyss with blue butterflies outside so presumably you need to go back with temp HP. How much? idk

at least I have so many one way paths opened up to make it easier to travel places

only had 40 min to play today, but I had a duel with Grimm that was a lot of fun. It really did feel like a dance!

the 3rd round of flames to hunt down are in the most annoying places on the map lol. Back to the hives, back to the spider cave, the hard to find place in fungal waste... yeah, tomorrow

the charge slash is super great for dealing with those damn primal aspids in one hit though!

but yeah against bosses I don't use it as much

bidoof

bidoof

bidoof is on fire

yeah I almost never use spells. I didn't even know what the up-B spell *was* until my friend pointed out it can kill the crystal crawly dudes that are otherwise invulnerable

Reg posted...

I played ZTD on a laptop on release with no issues, and have never heard of that.

maybe it was a certain brand if video card, i can't remember. It was like 6 years ago

but that's the only time I've returned a steam game lol

#GuessTheGame #213



https://GuessThe.Game/

lmao

i should probably go back and do the 3rd round at the colosseum too

although I feel like I should take the time to get the hang of this whirlwind slash since I learned it soooo late in the game. It's not part of my reflexes yet.

alright so i played two hours

I knew I couldn't get into the hive from the right, so I went to the left and sure enough I found an entrance before too long. It was a pretty cool area! Then, with 1 grub left, I re-explored everything around there until I found a path to the right of Isma's grove that I never took. So all grubs get!

So then I remembered a friend hinted (while I was feeling really lost and asked for a hint) I hadn't found everything in the howling cliffs. So I went exploring! I found the last nail master and finally learned my 3rd skill, and then found the spooky torch that summoned the circus. So I fought a few of these circus guys and that's gonna be it for tonight.

What's left? I'm missing 3 mask shards I guess, so there's definitely stuff I've missed. And I'm guessing I'm missing a couple charm notches too.

I forget how many Dreams you need to collect for the last Seer visit but I'm at 2261 so I gotta be close. But... unless I've missed another boss somewhere, I'm not sure where to get it.

man, i really need to take a break with the fgo event starting today but I have been thinking about hollow knight literally all day at work

Dantes makes sense with the Roa connection but what on earth is Ushi doing here

masterplum posted...

Also you might as well play it on PC. Probably easier to get

not sure if this is still the case but when I bought it on steam it was designed to not work on laptops? like, I had a gaming laptop that easily ran much more graphically intense games, but ZTD detected that it was a laptop and straight up would not run. was a known issue back then. Hopefully that's been fixed.

yeah this was a great topic. can't wait for the finale!

#GuessTheGame #212



https://GuessThe.Game/

man i've heard the name of this game but had no idea what console it was for or what kind of game. Is it good?

masterplum posted...

I also was in this situation and thought it was kind of dumb. I think its worth spoiling but if you don't want to know don't look

That entrance is a completely different room from the main entrance and doesn't connect at all.

i'm saying I found the grub that's in the little enclosed room you access from above, I just can't figure out how to get into the beehive itself

zero time dilemma is my favorite in the trilogy and I loved the story! but a lot of people dislike it for some reason

also may I introduce you to https://de.wikipedia.org/wiki/Blickwinkel aka https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Viewing_angle lol
