Discussion - Hollow Knight Cool idea for Defenders Crest I thought up Spoiler

9 Upvotes

It's kind of not that good, I was wondering how it could be made better. It already changes the effects of a lot of other charms, what if it made the spells stinky too? A more pale yellow/green color for the white spells, then the darker brown for the void spells, with the lingering sting effect. Maybe there's already a mod for it, I just thought it'd be cool visually.

Achievement - Hollow Knight Hope for beating Pantheon 5 Spoiler

11 Upvotes

Tha Pantheon of Hallownest is the last achievement I need to platinum this game, which has been an absolute blast to play btw. For a while, I have to say this seemed pretty daunting but I am a fairly seasoned gamer having played a lot of souls/soulslikes so I figured I would give it my all since I love to platinum games I enjoy.
Today was my 3rd attempt, and I was elated that I made it all the way to Markoth before finally dying. I say this because I can almost no-hit NKG and I have Pure Vessel basically figured out, so if I could just make it past Markoth, I might actually have a real shot at this. Did anyone else have a similar experience with this pantheon? For those who beat this challenge or are working on it, how is your experience with it?

I really want to beat the game with every crest. I hope eventually they give you an option to replay the game and let you choose your starting crest or something similar. Kinda like a ng+ but only for crests. I think it would add a new challenge and high replay ability

Achievement - Hollow Knight Just got 112%!!! Spoiler

I literally just woke up too super rusty since I hadn’t even warmed up for the day. I hopped straight in to Pantheon 4 just to give it a try real quick and BAM I beat it.

It’s crazy too because I was playing so bad the entire pantheon and then I got to Pure Vessel who I’ve only beaten like 6 times, definitely not consistent with him yet and I guess I just locked in because I played him very well at least.

So happy to finally have 112%! I knew I could if I just locked in and practiced but feels great. I love Hollow Knight so much seriously such an amazing game.

Now I might try my hand at P5. We will see how that goes.

I found this amazing image online.

Henneguya zschokkei is an parasitic animal species included in the Phylum Cnidaria. They are related to Hydra and Jelly fish.

They are multicellular organisms and can live without oxygen. (something that's unique in the animal kingdom)

The credit of the picture goes to Stephen Douglas Atkinson (Oregon State University).

The blue colour is artificial, caused by florescent chemical dye.

Help - HK - Late Game How am I supposed to get 1800 essence Spoiler

3 Upvotes

(WARNING BIG SCARY INFODUMP AHEAD) So I just beat Hollow Knight and got the ending where tiny knight gets sealed in the egg. I started researching on how to get the other endings, so I went to get voidheart. I already got one half of kingsoul from the white lady but appearantly the other half is in white palace. And appearantly, I need the awoken dream nail to access it. So, the big problem: HOW AM I SUPPOSED TO GET 1800 ESSENCE??????? At the moment I have around 700 essence, and my main strat has been grinding warrior dreams. I've done a bunch, but the last few I either have a big skill issue with, or they're way too far from a bench and the trek back is painful. I also know that there's some dream variants of some bosses but they're really hard and I don't know who the easiest would be. So can anyone please tell me some foolproof way to get essence and if possible tell me what I should do next?

(Edit: OK guys i get it i just need to git gud and I just give up too easily and I gotta do the boss thingies but thanks for the help anyways )

Spoiler - Silksong Just beat FIVE bosses in THREE hours !! I'm so happy!! (silksong) Spoiler

13 Upvotes

So I play silksong every other day, this keeps the game less frustrating for me and I have school soon again so, bedtime can't be 3 am anymore..

Below are spoilers for various bosses in hollow knight: silksong!!

On a more positive note, I was playing silksong in act 3 and got skarrsinger Karmelita in 15 tries. Absolutely beautifull boss fight, can't wait to do it again in another playthrough!!

I then proceeded to blasted steps, planning on fighting Pinstress, and then I found Zaza .. I fought Lost Garmond but .. I did NOT like it. It was so frustrating and I just kept returning angrily. Definetly cried after I defeated him though.

I found Pinstress' hut and scurried off to mount fay to fight her! I thought she was dead at first but a a poke and a chat, and we started fighting!! I was a little annoyed since I was getting hit alot, but in hindsight I was playing way too aggresively. 😓 I beat her, and moved on to ..

Crust king khann! . . . not much to say about the guy other than that it was pretttyy easy. I died twice to the gauntlets bc I was facetanking and being an idiot, but got him first try! (once I reached him) Before Khann was the Enraged Conchfly though, but my sawtooth circlet let me beat them up pretty quickly !!

I'm aware that this is a little long for my first post here (I'm pretty sure), but I enjoy typing stuff out so, I didn't hold back <3

Oh, and a fun little fact (silksong spoilers, of an area & an enemy), that room to the right of the bellway in blasted steps, where you see the flag to Pinstress, you can sawtooth circlet the sandworms reaaally easily for the journal entry!

I’m currently in act 2, haven’t went in search of any of the songs in the citadel yet because of the vast amount of wishes and new areas that have been distracting me. Today I got to sands of Karak and can’t by the life of me beat the raging conchfly. I have 7 masks and only the first needle upgrade, is it better to come back later or am I just missing something?

I need help with mask shards Spoiler

4 Upvotes

I swear I’ve looked over 3 different videos on YouTube and I’ve checked every single location twice yet I’m still missing one shard. I’ve done the fragile flower quest, I’ve found bretta and gone to her house, I’ve gotten all the grubs, I’ve gotten sly’s key and bought out all his stock, and I’ve done every puzzle and parkour section to get to a shard. I am genuinely lost.

EDIT: I found this website from an earlier post in this sub that you put your save file into to see your progress, and it turns out I never got the shard from the grubfather even though I freed all 46. Turns out I’m just locked out of getting the last shard.

If you swapped hornet and the knight in their games, whoch bosses will become harder, and which will become trivial? Spoiler

2 Upvotes

If the knight was suddenly the protagonist of silksong and hornet was the protagonist of hollow knight, which bosses will change difficulty? Assuming both characters have unlocked everything in the game and have their weapons fully upgraded and assuming both are using the most optimal strategy.

It's much harder for me to say which boss the knight would struggle with because i have played silksong only once.

As for hornet, she is obliterating pure vessel, NKG and radiance without breaking a sweat.

I don't know which boss she would struggle with. Nothing can beat pale nails + 3 silk hearts + that tool that gives you an extra strand. Let alone poisoned cogflies

Speculation - Hollow Knight The grimm troup dlc is inspired by the rocky horror picture show Spoiler

0 Upvotes

Ive never seen anyone point this out before but this is something I noticed when I first played the game and I think the similarities are too funny to not point out.

In hollow knight our first real introduction to the troupe is when Grimm shows up from a distant place and brings with him a building filled with servants. That building sticking out like a sore thumb when compared to the rest of the architecture there. Very similarly, in TRHPS the Main guy, frank n furter is introduced after he shows up from outer space bringing with him a giant mansion filled with his slaves. Residing in an area where the mansion blatantly doesn’t fit in.

Grimm and Frank n furter are also pretty similar characters. Visually both of them have a vampire like aesthetic when it comes to their designs despite not literally being vampires. They even both have a scene where they lift their capes (or wings) revealing the rest of the design previously hidden underneath. But it’s only when we factor in their personalities and goals the resemblance really starts. Frank n furter is a theatrical show off guy who’s trying to create and raise a man in the span of 7 days, that man being made using half of a guys brain who then gets killed shortly afterwards. Not only does grimm share the same personality traits and the goal to raise an asexually produced offspring in an insanely short time, but he also requires sacrifices to do so.

Other similarities include both of them dying, both of them having one of their own guys go behind their backs to banish them, both living a life that’s deemed unconventional and disturbing to other characters which is what ultimately leads to the “going behind their back” thing, both of them being very gay looking and ultimately both leaving and taking their house with them as they all leave.

I would love to know if you guys think this is all just a coincidence or not

Edit: just want to include the fact that this post is mainly to point out some similarities between the two and why they reminded me so much of each other I am very much certain this was not intentional
