3 tries in on the Pantheon of Hallownest today and I did it! By that I mean I got to Absolute Radiance. Obviously wasn't gonna win that one first try! That said, I beat her on like my fourth try in practice mode. Very surprising - I expected something harder from everything I've heard! No doubt it's totally nuts, but I'd heard it was 6 phases and it's really more like 3. There are technically 6 only due to slight variations. Still think NKG is much worse tbh, mostly just because a few specific attacks that he has. Like...NKG took me 4 hours to beat my first time through in the main game (well, DLC but within the main game, you know what I mean). Secret extra final boss took me 20 minutes. Now to do it in the pantheon!

I'm done for the day, but I'll spend a loooong time practicing the extra final boss and probably have this thing conquered soon enough.

The biggest tip I can give about combat in HK is to slap on Shaman Stone and abuse the hell out of spells. Dive especially gives a shitload of iframes, it is secretly a dodge that also deals a ton of damage. It's the biggest thing most people never picked up casually and it radically alters how you approach combat in this game

Yep, since Godhome I've learned to use spells way more frequently, and a Spell Twister + Shaman Stone (+ Quick Nail if you fancy) build is pretty overpowered for damage output. That said, there's too many charms I like more than Shaman Stone to use it very often. 3 charm notches is too much! But I have learned to use spells a whole lot now anyway, where yeah, I rarely bothered before.
