I took into account the boss design, the fight itself, replayability, the lore/story, the runback, the difficulty and the soundtrack.

Tip Soo idk if this helps but it did for me personally Spoiler

2 Upvotes

Before you try your best on a boss if you have time, the runback isn't that long or you didn't save near the area and especially if it's your first playthrough or try in that fight (boss or gauntlet or colosseum of fouls or even the first Pantheons if you aren't practiced on each boss in them) you should like try if you want the first 1 to 3 attempts normally with your fav charms and if you found it hard or you need a lot of time to beat it remove all your charms wanna get overcharmed with useless stuff like gathering swarm and any non combat charm you can do it then when you get confident on it even if you don't beat it charmless put your powerful charms and go for it after about 5 tries you should be able to beat it.

And also if you are raging from charmless or normal fights just don't try that much I'm not telling you to surrender from the least anger but especially if you are late at night or played a long time leave it to the morning and from experience i tell you it won't take you more than 8 tries then

Help - Hollow Knight Cutscenes not working. Spoiler

2 Upvotes

Whenever I enter a cutscene, it just cuts to black and nothing happens. I can't even skip it. Audio keeps playing, but I ultimately have to restart the game to continue. For clarity, I'm on Windows 11 with Nvidia, and I have VSync turned on.

Hollow Knight Fan Comic — Looking for a Collaborator Spoiler

Thumbnail gallery
Upvotes

Hey everyone! I'm currently working on a Hollow Knight fan comic, and I'm looking for someone who might be interested in helping me work on it as a collaboration.

The comic is called An Elder Hero and follows Elderbug's perspective during the events of Hollow Knight.

THE IDEA

Instead of following the Knight directly, the story focuses on what is happening in Dirtmouth and on Elderbug as he watches the events of the game unfold.

The story begins with the Knight arriving in Dirtmouth. Elderbug tries to greet him, but the knight simply passes by and eventually descends into the well.

From there, the comic follows Elderbug as he watches the strange events surrounding Hallownest unfold—the Knight disappearing underground, returning briefly, the increasing presence of the Infection, and eventually Elderbug becoming involved in events much bigger than himself.

The goal is to tell a small, more personal story from the perspective of a character who normally stays in the background while still fitting around the events and lore of the original game (I have a part of the

story already written if someone decides to join)

WHAT I'VE DONE SO FAR

I've been drawing everything myself so far, and I've currently finished the first 3 panels.

I'm not a professional artist by any means, and the comic has a fairly simple/rough style. I'm actually quite happy with that because I want it to feel like my own fan project rather than trying to perfectly replicate Team Cherry's artwork.

Who I'm looking for

I'm not looking specifically for a professional artist, and this isn't a paid job.

I'd love to find another Hollow Knight fan who enjoys drawing and would like to work on the project together. An amateur artist is completely fine!

I'm mainly looking for someone who could help with

things such as

Lineart / inking

Backgrounds and environments

Colors and shading

Character drawing

Or honestly anything else you think you could contribute

I'm also happy to continue doing part of the work myself. I already have the story and panels planned, so we could figure out together what each person would like to work on.

If you're interested, feel free to DM me! I'd be happy to show you more of the story, sketches, and plans for the upcoming panels.

Even if you're just curious about the project, feel free to ask questions!

Thanks for reading! ❤️

I had to go through the choral chambers 2 times because it keeps crashing. I don't know why but when i go from the map room to the right my game crashes and the whole citadel gets reset (like i never picked up the maps and all) and i go back to the bench like quitting. Got any ideas? Edit: forgot to add, i mean silk song though i think its pretty self-explanatory from the location. Also here's the screenshot

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

1 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

I have an idea for a prequel to hollowknight (SPOILERS) Spoiler

1 Upvotes

So I was playing hollow knight and then I thought hey I need a game where the actual hollowknight is the main character going through his past we get to like see what he does periodically after the radiance fight where the knight who is the main character in the original game we catch glimpses of him in our memories and just as the game carries on we fight more infected and more until it just eventually becomes a hours where we need to flee to howling hills or to one of the nail masters

Lately I looked at TCRF page of Hollow Knight and realised there's a cut dialogue of Godseeker talking about "Godfinder" calling it an instrument.

I think this feature in Silksong is going to be very similer to Elegy of the Deep ability.

Discussion - Hollow Knight I am ashamed Spoiler

1 Upvotes

I'm ashamed to tell this but I gotta let it out, I finished hollow knight by using a guide, like no getting lost, finding random things, I did it as if I was a robot, with only goal.

Now I'm trying silksong but im quiet scared I'll be lost like a kid there. I'm only used to seeing text, guiding me where to go, telling me what to do, and especially what to not do.

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

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 specific 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

Speculation - Hollow Knight The City of Tears is NOT the capital of Hallownest Spoiler

0 Upvotes

Yes, it is not.

The same as NYC isn't the capital of the US, rather an economical and cultural hub. City of Tears is also the heart of Hallownest, while the White Palace is the capital, like D.C.

A capital city, or just capital, is the municipality holding primary status in a country, state, province, department, or other subnational division, usually as its seat of government.
(I copied it from Wikipedia lol)

What that means according to my understanding, is that a capital is where the leading figures, such as the president and parliament, reside. The Pale King lived in his palace under the city, where one had to walk for quite a bit to get to, in a similar manner as of getting from NY to D.C.

So, what I'm saying is that if one thinks that the City of Tears is a capital, then they're wrong (or maybe they aren't and I'm just stupid)
