yes if you have any interest in metroidvanias

i'd say so if you liked dark souls and you like metroidvanias. the art style is very pretty and the game handles well.

I bought it full price and had no regrets. If you aren't sure, just pirate it.
>>
>>382878060
Speaking of metroidvanias, the backtracking in Hollow Knight is horrendous. Are they all like that?
>>
>>382878329
sort of. the genre is based around acquiring new powerups and techniques to unlock areas end explore in a non-linear fashion

as long as you're unlocking stag stations and finding hidden shortcuts, the backtracking isn't so bad. the two areas at the very bottom of the map is a bitch to get in and out of though.
>>
>>382877942
I'd say, It's worth at least $25 so yes
>>
>>382878434
isn't that what the tram is for? also IMO, the big problem with hollow knight backtracking is that you have to wait ages for upgrades to get small, insignificant secrets and stuff. it really bothers me to leave things behind, but HK makes it extremely tedious to get them all.

Meanwhile I hated Shovel Knight which is more combat focused

>he needs the bank

>>382878804
hollow knight has a heavy focus on both. there are challenging platforming sections, there are challenging combat sections. the combat can be made easier by acquiring health and weapon upgrades, and the unique charm upgrades.
>>
>>382878329
More or less, I mean the whole theme of metroidvanias is running in circle to unlock what you couldn't on the previous loop.

Back through the fungal waste there's a path with a big destroyed sign and further down is a statue. Go through there and the smith is in that area.

at the very end of their hive, past the ghost of their queen the hiveblood charm. It turns your health into honeycombs that slowly heals the last tick of damage you took. It also has the bonus effect of making the hive friendly to you while you have it equipped. Just like the mantises you can pass through them and everything, but will fight back if you hit them
TLDR you need to wear the honey charm

I assume you mean the dream fight.

He's the fight I had the most trouble with, even more so then the Radiance

I had to change my build around to do it. Drop quick charge, the fight never gives you a chance to really heal with it. Instead Try using the honey charm and allow that to heal you, also pick up the charm that increases your invulnerability period when you get hit.
Shaman stone destroys him too because false is really large so the fireball will hit him twice with the charm on for shitloads of damage.
Consider dream nailing him when his head is revealed to gain more focus to fire more fireballs.

And he does have a pattern, he's just very quick and relentless so its easy to get overwhelmed by him swinging and all the bombs. When he jumps backwards he very rarely swings and when he jumps forward he ALWAYS swings. jump swings never produce shockwaves, but ground slams almost always. When you smack him around after his helmet falls off he always throws a tantrum and leaves himself open for fireballs.

TLDR: honey and magic

Can someone please give me a hint to where to find the last pale ore?

I've found 5:
-Colesseum
-300 Dream Essence
-Derelict Tram Station
-The doppelganger whose name I forget
-Top of Crystal Peak


Point is, I want the general direction where it could be, the area's name will suffice. I don't want the exact location.

Also, every spell seemed to have gained an upgrade, except the up+B one, I guess I must've missed it. Any vague hint would be appreciated.

Good idea:
You restore health by Focusing. This is difficult to do during bosses since you're totally immobilized and exposed to enemy attacks, so you can't simply spam this virtually unlimited health mechanic.

Bad idea:
Adding a charm to the game that makes you invulnerable while Focusing.

They took a really good, skillful mechanic with inherent vulnerability and threw it out the window with a charm that you can acquire really early on.

Really? I thought getting hit while using it interrupted the heal and just did no damage.

This is how it is though.
>>
>>382888512
>getting hit stops your healing, wasting time, meaning that you can only heal when you would have otherwise been able to heal
>vulnerable for the short period after you heal
>charm only takes a small number of hits before breaking

It's basically a clutch for people who can't time when to heal right by giving them a couple of chances. Seems fine to me.

>Adding a charm to the game that makes you invulnerable while Focusing.
>They took a really good, skillful mechanic with inherent vulnerability and threw it out the window with a charm that you can acquire really early on.
Your heal still gets interrupted even if you don't take damage, and you'll lose soul for the wasted focus. The shield can also break after taking enough hits and become unusable, which will happen if you try taking on the fast optional bosses or Trial of Fools with it. When it happens the only way to repair it is getting back to the bench. Trust me, when you get to the harder parts you'll be ditching that shitty charm.

>HAVEN'T DIED SINCE I STARTED USING THE SHIELD CHARM
I think that's just the game in general regardless of your setup. It isn't so difficult apart from few late game fights like dream bosses. I died a bunch of times, but never lost my Geo since getting back to your shade is so easy.

I played for a few hours, almost getting to the second big boss I believe

I gotta say that it's fine, the combat seems a bit simplistic and the game is a bit buggy here and there. It's definitely good but I really can understand what's going on with the dislike, which is basically people are praising this as -the- metroidvania, when it's pretty lacking.

Also this thing where everyone says "oh it's more like a soulsvania". It's much simpler and there's not as much feeling of pressure when exploring when you can just heal every 2 fucking seconds. The only thing that resembles souls for me is the atmosphere (which seems a little bit overused) and the whole "if you die you can't do some shit until you get your soul back", but I died once.

I don't know, I do like it and I will continue it but I feel that the game has yet to surprise me with something. And it's very lacking in secrets and such.
>>
>>382883434
He's not the hardest fight in the game, but damn I love him either way. Sometimes making the boss really fun and charming is enough to make it memorable. He's just a jolly beetle who throws shit around, and he's very happy about it.

The plot does only kick in later on and I can completely agree on lack of fun unique secret power ups. Games like SotN and Axiom Verge do weapons better and Ori movement skills better. There's however a bunch of secret fleshed out and rather long areas, some of which are required for unlocking true final boss and they're all really fun to play through, so the game does reward exploration in the way of more gameplay content if not strictly unique power ups. While the healing in normal sections makes the game rather easy (especially if you have soul gain increasing charms) later on there's parts where you really have to manage timing right or get fucked sideways.

You also get ability to dash and double jump later on if you're worried about that.

I tried it, couldn't get past the jump control, refunded. Usually I'm fine with hold to jump longer mechanic but there's something off with how they implemented it in HK, like there's some unnecessary delay or something.

>people have a problem with the backtracking
there are a couple of locations that are annoying as fuck, particularly going down to ancient basin everytime but it's not bad at all. A good 80% of the walking is exploring areas for progression. Maybe 20% of the travel is dedicated to backtrack.

There is no way I spent more than 4 hours purely backtracking (not going to a merchant to buy stuff or upgrading equipment) having finished the true ending in 22 hours.

For a game "inspired" by Dark Souls, it does lore a whole lot better than the Souls series. In fact, it's hard to call it lore and not just the fucking story because they lay it all on you as long as you talk to the main NPCs and can deduce some basic things.

also the geo system is basically carbon copy from Souls. Get killed? You lose all your money. Get back money by going back to where you died. But also here are some items you can sell so you can effectively bank some money that won't be lost.

its easy until you get the wings and isma's tear, then you gotta get every single powerup before attempting any ghost fight ,the colloseum or hornet 2. And stay away from the guy that shots lasers in the crystal caves until the very end, cost me like 2 5+ hours runs.
When you get fragile strength, heart and the mark of pride the game becomes easy mode, the riskiest part by far is the midgame.

Yes, but don't.

The game isn't complete yet. They're going to add 1, maybe even 2 new playable characters, a bunch of new bosses and new areas.

It's better to wait and get the superior experience than to play now and maybe not feel like going back to it later

I really don't know what the fuck I'm doing at this point. I can't find the map guy in a few places which really isn't helping me out. I still need to do the Colosseum of Fool's 2nd and 3rd challenge along with the boss in Ancient Basin, the Lost Vessel or something. Other than that, I have no clue where to go. There are a few places I can't seem to reach without a double jump or upwards slash or something, but I'm sure I'll come across that ability soon enough. I didn't really find anything of use in The Sewers except for that switch which turns the green tube of water on but I'm not sure what that even does. Also no boss fight in The Hive? What gives with that?

There's only one charm in the hive. Collect mask shards and other upgrades, then go fight boss in ancient basin and explore areas that weren't accesible without double jump.
2'nd trial is very easy with wings. 3'd one doen't give you anything besides achiviment and it's probably hardest part of the game.

The Radiance is the source of the bug's mind control as well as the infection. I don't see why they would just die. Myla, specifically, still had a song in her head if you struck her with the dream nail. I like to think they survived. Though it does kind of make me sad about the hundreds I killed because there was no other option.
