Hollow Knight General - /hkg/

Such a nice moment, that is.
May be my favorite in the game.

To answer that anon's question about Deepnest bosses, there is one, but it's unfortunately really easy.

the false champion is kicking my ass

I'm going all offensive with longnail + quick nail + fragile strength + mark o pride what is killing me is the zero soul gain in the fight

>>171298868
Joni's blessing/lifeblood charms/stalwart shell.
Just smack em. A lot. It's how I beat him.

I hate how they make the infection close so many routes in the crossroads, this is bullshit, makes it a pain in the ass to navigate.

>>171292762
There is one, but he's hidden.
>>171299228
Yeah, those should be destructible.

>>171298868
I cheesed the fuck out of him. I went fragile heart, fragile strength, stalwart shell, grubsong, and I think soul catcher. I just non-stop attacked him and took the damage, and each time he collapsed I healed as much as I could.

Can someone explain where all my geo went (8000)? I died in the sewers under the city and went back to retreive my shade, died again before I could get to it, and when I did kill it, it didn't have the money of the previous shade.
What happened to the first shade? I'm close to losing my shit and throwing this fucking computer out the window because it took me an aeon to get it and now it's all gone because I got gangraped by maggots.

Was white palace supposed to be difficult?

Also, what IS the void badge anyways? All it really accomplishes is that Hornet now helps in the fight, and I don't see how that correlates.

>>171301505
When you die without your Shade, the Shade you were hunting that had all your Geo on it is replaced with a new one.

>>171301567
Void Heart also causes Shades to not attack you and die in 1 hit.
You have done what the King could not, Unite the Void so that it may be harnessed against the Radiance.

>>171301568
So the geo's gone? The new one only had like 5 geo on it from that life.

>>171301669
but how does that change the ending?
Hornet adds her seal to the egg, but you still become the vessel like in the previous ending, so what does it do?

How do I kill Zote or let him die after saving him the first time? I need to know for uh...reasons

You have to get the dash upgrade in the abyss before you can get through them.

>>171304595
5 in dirtmouth, 4 from merchant (need shopkeeper key to access), 1 Bretta (in her house), after saving her in fungal wastes near the dashmaster charm (east from the Mantis Lords)

1 Deepnest (Near Mantis Lords, drop down from above, need doublejump to access it)
1 queenstation (right side, need walljump)
1 flower quest resting grounds, hidden bottom right (go back to grey mourner after delivering flower)
1 hive (bottom of kingdoms edge, roughly center of the hive, use giant bee to break)
1 mawlek (boss in Crossroads, bottom left)
1 grub (after delivering a certain amount of grubs 25?)
1 crystal peak (laserboss v2, fought above laserboss v1, need doublejump)
1 waterways (bottom left, need ismas tear to access it)
1 seer (after around 1000-1300 essence)

>>171310846
Check every wall on the right of the room for cracked walls

I hope they add new ways to spend geo in the future updates. After mid-game geo becomes useless.

They should allow you to purchase a charm that does the same thing the Kingsoul does, for the people who liked using it, or maybe just the old charm back.

Not sure what else they could put up for sale, maybe something cosmetic? Or maybe put something like abuilding with concept art behind payment.

I am fucking adoring this game so far.

My only complaint is for a 2D game it sure gives my toaster a run for its money. I have to force it to run at 854*480 and even then some environments make it chug and increase the difficulty by a factor of 10 due to input lag.

>>171318537

>2D

Not exactly.

so, is there actually a map for the white palace? getting the "updating map" shit and whatnot when i sit on a bench, but somehow doubt cornifer's hanging out nearby

>>171319416
By which I mean there is only movement in the xy plane and the vast majority of the art assets aren't volumetric.

After playing hollow knight i tried Ori, holy shit this game is annoying, i died like 600 times and only halfway through, main character literally made of glass. And i like hollow knight much more.

>>171332283
You need to get past the spikes first. For that, you need to go to Crystal Peak on the other side of the map.

Got real close last run, but I'm wondering if there's a more effective way.

>>171334325
Get rid of your long range charm and add grub song, stalwart, and defender's.

>>171334674
What does Defender's do? I don't have enough room for Grubsong with that combo.

>>171334934
Surrounds you in fart gas that hurts enemies that touch it. Surprisingly effective when kiting enemies.

If you haven't beaten him yet, what worked for me was equipping sharp shadow for the extra dash length and dashing through him very time he jumped upwards to do a melee swing (don't try it when he jumps back to do the ranged attack).

>>171341476
For Grey Mourner, make sure to clear the path and kill all the enemies during your first attempt, then go back without resting on bench for your subsequent attempts. It's much easier when the enemies are dead.

>>171298868
make sure you have the item that allows you to dash thru the black walls, trivializes any ground-based boss fight

Starting on the game now. Five minutes in and I've already turned off the lights in my room and wrapped myself up in a wool blanket.

I just hope there aren't any missables. I actually considered some rough guide or something just so I won't miss any cutscenes or adorables, but that would be the first time I've ever done so with a metroidvania. Any suggestions to order of doing things so that my first playthrough will be the most "wholesome"?

>>171342403
I don't think you can miss anything besides optional dialogue and stuff that isn't required to get 100% completion.

>>171342403
Get the first ending as soon as you can, you can lock yourself out of it but you can keep playing on a save after you've finished the game

>>171342403
nothing that contributes to completion % is "missable"

only NPC interractions and 4 ways to deal with the final boss encounter are ways to "miss" anything

>>171339962

Can I hit anything with this thing?

>>171351095
You can hit anything that is alive or once was.
Some things will resist your slashes until after you awaken it.

>>171351095
You use it to read character's dreams. Basically mind reading for flavortext and unlocking the true final boss fight.

>>171351095
You can use it on living creatures and some environmental objects (mostly corpses) to read their thoughts. You can also now talk to ghosts, and kill them for some essence, although that isn't recommended unless they're Warrior ghosts you can challenge to a fight. You can also get essence from Essence trees and fighting the 3 dream bosses. You also need it to kill the dreamers.

>>171350928
>>171351018
Thigh-highs with a nice bit of thigh overflow is delectable. Bonus points if the garters dig into the booty.

>>171351234
It's important to have matching undies, you never know when someone's gonna see them. Especially when you wear such a short, fluttery dress~

There's only time for healing during the six orb attack in the first phase and none at all in the second phase so I found him painful. Failed Knight was still the most difficult personally simply due to how much shit you had to deal with at once.

>>171359835
>>171360494
Thanks! Just took him out after adding Fragile Life and Strength. Helped that I was a lot more patient in that final phase as well.

Found that it's incredibly easy if you just hover near the right side of the roof. Can get a quick heal off almost every time, and with the Grublove charm you still get your heal back even if you get damaged.

Can I still beat the Arena fine and get the true ending (or 100%) if I leave Zote to die in the Deepnest? Or is he required for true ending/100%?

GOTY so far.

>>171365704

You want to leave him alive for one run and let him die in the other to get both achievements. Either way he's irrelevant for 100% run.

So what's the easiest way to farm money in the early game? (5 masks, no sword upgrades, dash unlocked). The guides say it's the giant mushroom in upper Fungal Wastes but I'm not too sure about that.

Also where is the earliest source of sword upgrades? I'm tired of my weapon hitting like a twig.

>>171368758
You have to go through the Fungal Wastes to reach the City of Tears. There's a nailsmith there who will repair your nail for 250 geo. Upgrading beyond that will require pale ore and more geo.

Can't find any info from searching, can someone give me a rundown of what being overcharmed does? I can see that it allows you to go over your notch limit but is there any negatives to doing this?

I remember hearing the game doesn't exactly remove the enemies after you kill them, only relocates them somewhere else you can't see, that's why after killing many enemies performance issues may occur, they're still being rendered somewhere.

I'm not sure if it's just this game or it's a limitation of Unity Engine

>>171427938
i suppose you can write down things if you dont have a strong memory

I have the dream nail now, but dream nailing the peaceful ghosts in the spirit glade makes them go away. ...and it doesn't feel like a particularly nice thing to do..

What's the deal with the dream nail? What should I nail (heh) and what not?

So I got 146/146 for the journal but apparently I was missing one of the dream bosses but still had it complete. After beating him it got me to 2200-ish essence. I guess there's one more out there for me to kill to get me to 2400, but where? Why aren't they a part of the journal? Some of the others were.

>>171428382
Use it to read the minds of NPC's or some shit. It can also absorb more soul than a regular nail but it takes far too long to charge up to be useful. Honestly it's only there to complete the game. You can use it on some NPC's to find out stuff you wouldn't normally (you can see the progression of the infection of the miner, Myla, in the crossroads for example)

>>171428382
>What should I nail

Every. Single. Thing.

As for nailing the ghosts, you're getting them out of a dream state and putting them to rest.

>>171428660
Aww man... Myla. Yeah I already checked her a few times. So that's what was going on with her..

Anyway thanks
(I just had this nasty feeling that dream nailing certain ghosts would surprise me with a "BAD ENDING because you fucked spirits!" kind of deal)

>>171428479
you sure you're missing a dream boss? not just some trees? they don't always show up on your map in my experience, if you haven't been into the little sub-tile or whatever they sit in or if they're inside something like the ancestral mound (same for warrior grave markers), and they can be worth like 30-60 each

Attack that corpse out front with an upgraded dreamnail (you get it after like 1300+ essence or some shit). Also bring the Hiveblood charm with you. It contains far and away the hardest platforming in the game.

which is worse, this or the white palace?
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=pJ_oHJ_zBho

I personally found the white palace laughable with hiveblood and nine hp (hearts? masks? mask points? mask health?), and it would have been pretty straightforward without it considering how generous they are with the benches, but I had spent the whole game already getting really comfortable with bouncing off of spikes and enemies constantly

>>171442179
It's worse when you're done fighting a fucking painful boss and then the game freezes immediately when you look at the map.

Alright, so anyone has a rundown on the lore? I still don't understand who the mc is or who the two last bosses are.

>>171442864
>MC
You are a Hollow Vessel. You have no Soul. you have the ability to hold Soul within you that doesn't belong to you.
The King created millions of Vessels at some point, almost all failures, but it's unclear if you were a part of that batch or crafted individually elsewhere. It seems likely you were created with the rest due in part to Nosk having multiple corpses identical to you in his room. How they got out is beyond me tho. As is how you got out of the Abyss.

>>171442864
>>171443128

When you dream nail your reflection in the cracked egg in the abyss and have to do that crawl up to the top, and see the memory of almost (but not quite) reaching the top in time, you can see the current hollow knight. This vessel is greeted by the king who then uses the pure vessel (as referenced in the stone outside the abyss--it references the Hollow Knight, not you) to contain the infection. The selected knight wasn't perfect, and the infection eventually spreads.

>>171442864

>Last two bosses

The first final boss is the Hollow Knight, the very first completed one and the main character`s predecessor. It`s a humanoid `supposedly` without a will or intelligence, created by the King to seal the Radiance and thus the plague.

The second final boss is the Radiance, the first king of the kingdom who controlled all bug people via mind control, a hive-mind or the plague itself. The king we see in the game stole its throne, freed the bugs and granted them sentience, and sealed the Radiance. The Radiance, naturally pissed, started leaking out of the imperfect seal and started doing its mind-control bullshit again, which is the Plague.

>>171443863
is the radiance a luminoth?

>>171443924
Maybe. We don't know. All we know is it's related to the moth people. It could very well have been a decrepit,old moth who kept herself alive with magic for a comically long time.

That`d make this a new Metroid game, so you tell me.

>>171442395
It's not that it had thicker lines, it's that I drew it smaller so I took a pic from closer by.

>>171444193
you know what I mean as much as I'd love that to literally be the case

>>171444124
the biggest thing I'm confused about is the origin and nature of the wyrm, the old king, the radiance, and the resulting infection, and whether that was something brought about by or simply harnessed by the light-worshipping moths, while everything else seems pretty straightforward as a set of events and reactions pertaining to the aforementioned

>>171444284
Oh. Derp.
That makes sense.
>>171444416
The Wyrm is the Pale King. He shed his old form over the edge of Hallownest.
Old King is the Radiance or the physical form of the Radiance.
Radiance is all that remains of the Old King, referred to as the Old Light.
The Infection is a magical plague caused by the Radiance/Old King as a way of conquering the people she lost to the Pale King's gift of sentience. In exchange for the gift of the New Light, you shall be granted insurmountable strength that could make the dead walk. It is literally infused with the essence of the Radiance.

>>171444416

I know, just had to throw that one in there.

In order:

Wyrm was some sort of large, powerful creature (Seemingly the worm in the Kingdoms Edge) that died on the Mound, and reincarnated/became the New King in some way and freed the bugs.

Old King and Radiance are the same person, pre-and-post sealing. May be a deity of some kind, a very powerful bug, or anywhere in-between.

Infection is the result of the imperfect seal on Radiance. The infection is its mind-control seeping out of the cracks, intending to destroy hallownest out of spite.

>>171444734
>>171444976
I think I'm even more confused now, I wonder if there's a loredump compiled somewhere from all the literal text the game uses in dialogue and old inscriptions and shit

>>171445192

Probably somewhere. The main things I wanna know are the real nature of The Radiance and The Wyrm and whatever hornet`s full deal is.

At least that second one is confirmed.

Alright so my questions that remain are:
Is the current civilization built atop the pale king's civilization or the Radiance civilization?
The City of Tears looks like it only fell recently while everything in the ancient basin looks like it fell ages ago.


How were you able to make the climb once you fell down? Specially since the door was to the abyss (a place where the pale king found/sealed the void and tossed all the failed vessels)

How many other vessels made out of the abyss? How many times did the king try to contain the infection with a vessel?

What is the void?

Also so is this the royal couple? If so, is the queen alive?

>>171447245
I think the Queen is that "pale being" in Queens Garden. So yes, she's alive.

>>171444734
Isn't the wyrm the radiance?

I had the foresight to screen shot all the lore bits of the game. Would've been easier to piece it thogheter now..

why everyone has to die in this game

I remember going back to the blue lake, and the guy who helps you in OP's pic, there's only his nail left, and he was talking about getting too old after helping you fight the huge jellyfish, sad shit

>>171447245

In order:

Considering that the Ancient Basin holds the New King`s palace, it`s probably all his.

Nobody knows what exactly happened between you in the abyss and you in Dirtmouth.

A small handful. You, Big Bro, Lost Kin, the one from the first hornet fight, maybe Zote and/or hornet herself (that last one is the vaguest and least likely). King only tried once, seemingly. Lost kin seems to be corrupted of more natural causes, given its location.

Unspecified. May or may not be an infinite wellspring of souls, darkness, power, or any combination of the three.

Yes, that`s them. You meet her in greenpath.

Actually, wait. The third statue`s destroyed, so I assume it`s supposed to be Radiance, but there`s no reason for them to be depicted in the same place, with statues seemingly made at the same time. Is it supposed to be hornet?

>>171447530

Nope, Wyrm is stated to turn into the New King somehow.

>>171447245
The Radiance had no civilization by our standards. It wasn't even a tribal kingdom. It was literally wild bugs in an underground cave system. At most, Radiance was sentient and knew this, while all the rest were not and she was the "king" of her people, all of the area now known as Hallownest.
Ancient Basin is really fucking old, along with the Abyss. Void is something is as old as the Radiance if not older.

I do not know. It may have been a flashback and we were built later or transported out by some other means. It's unclear.

He only tried once. And it held 'till after he died. HK, ourselves, Broken Vessel, the corpse in Greenpath, and the 2 or 3 in the Nosk fight seem to be all that got out.

Void is an ancient power that is the antithesis of the Soul, which the Radiance and the Soul Sanctum base their power on. The Soul is the power of one's being. Void is the lack of any being. Specifics are unclear.

And no, that's not the royal couple. It may have been at one time, but something in the lore was changed between that trailer and release.
Pictured there are the Pale King and the White Lady. White Lady is absolutely not the Queen even though she resides in Queen's Garden. Herrah, Root, is the Queen of Hallownest. It was a part of her deal with the Pale King to become a Dreamer.
White Lady may very well be as old as the Radiance as well. There are mentions about how she doesn't agree with the desire of everyone else. All I know for certain is that she bears the Root's half of the Kingsoul, a gift from the Pale King.

Friend went offline and may not be back for a while.
So I gave them flats.

Whoops.

>>171448597
Does she actually wear anything under the skirt ingame?

where is that essence tree in the howling cliffs

I'm right on top of it but I see nothing

>>171448690
As far as I can tell, no. She also doesn't have genitals. cause she's a Void being.

>>171448734
It's just out in the open.
>>171448597
Question time for /hkg/!
Do you think Hornet canonically has arms or doesn't? You never see them in-game.

White Lady`s the Queen, but the deal with Herrah was for the King to craft or impregnate her with a daughter of her very own, as opposed to her own monstrous spawn in Deepnest and Beast`s Den.
White Lady does describe the deal as `dalliance`, and, well...

O-oh.
Fug. This shit is complex.
But then why is Mr. Mushroom found in Deepnest for his 3rd verse?

>>171448750
>thinks she has no genitals
>he didn't talk to the midwife

>>171449437
>gendered = sexually capable
That fat worm dude in Kingdom's Edge mentions it too. I am 99% certain it just means she has a bug's soul, that of a female bug.

Excellent, thank you!
>>171421909
>the only other one to get out of the Abyss
What about those corpses in Nosk's lair?

How do you fix screen tearing?

>>171449593
Yeah, right, sounds like you're doing everything to avoid the obvious conclusion for some reason

>>171448597
Excellent!
I'm working on an extra thicc Hornet ass right now, with a garterbelt and thighhighs.

>>171448848
Should I give her arms or not?

>>171450254
Guy who lined and did flats here.
I prefer the armless version with a fluttery cloak. But whatever you wanna do is fine by me.

>>171450327
I'm doing one without the cloak, to really emphasize the ass.

>>171450393
You're a saint and this next fap will be dedicated to you.

Also, small feet or no feet? I've got the small feet right now, but I can turn 'em into stumps if people want.

She has at least one visible arm in the cutscene you see when you reach the City of Tears Fountain.

She`s probably humanoid, she just forgot to cut arm-holes in her dress. Which means she flashes when she holds her arms out.

>>171450254
>>171450598
Feet can go either way, but no arms just feels weird for me.

any drawing tips from the guy who did these? my arts mediocre but this game makes me want to draw lewds and your thicc stuff is great

>>171449881
I don't see any tearing your webm :^)
vsync, or running windowed, or using a frame limiter if the game isn't doing it correctly itself

>>171450717
>At least 1 arm
Ah. So sad.
Still doesn't entirely invalidate my amputee fetish.

Nubs.

Those are actually a collaboration.
Some Anon did these 2 and I lined and did basic colors cause I really liked them.

>>171451235
is the guy who sketched them not a regular here?
