Who are the "higher beings" anyway?

>>171586420
You find the bug in the fungus area.
There's a secret room behind the dashmaster shrine.
The bug later moves into Dirtmouth.
You get that particular piece of dialogue when you dream nail it.

>>171586420
It's the beetle you can rescue from the Fungal Wastes. Initially she acts like a fangirl for you until (or if) you save Zote twice and beat him in the Arena, then he spouts some shit about you being a villain and cucks you. Not worth it honestly.
Myla and Hornet are better bugs.

also that feel when I just did the fucking white flower. Had a bit of trouble with it initially because I tried to use the glowing womb bugs but always ran out of soul, and tried to go through crossroads.
Did it with the grub shooty badge through the pleasure house and fog canyon and was honestly not that bad. Took me about 4 tries once I had my route down.

Just do it backwards first and kill all the hard enemies on the way. They don't respawn unless you sit on a bench.
>>
>>171602303
Just use the projectile spell. Or bumrush them and use the nail art to kill them in one hit before they attack.
>>
>>171602303
Choose a path(the on in the OP for instance)

1 Follow it on the reverse direction killing all enemies

2 Don't sit on any benches

3 Get the flower

4 Do the path

5 Don't fuck up on the last room(might want to train it a few times without the flower before doing 1)

6 Win

I encountered 1 single flying mantis on ym route, and I killed that with a spell shot because it's on the same elevation as you when you enter the room.

>Why fuck up the Old Light though?
Because it is what caused the Infection. The Infection itself is infused with the Radiance, forming a hive mind effect.
>Why
The Wyrm shed its great form over Hallownest and took on the form of the Pale King, the New Light. It gave most Bugs in the area the gift of sentience. This pissed off Radiance, because all its former subjects, it was sentient in some capacity, flocked and followed the New Light. So in an attempt to keep its followers and not be forgotten, a plague was unleashed and should you succumb, you will be given great power in exchange for losing the Wyrm's Gift. It didn't give everyone that choice of course, only the strong-willed who could resist.

Oh god I remember this piece of shit. Honestly probably my least favorite boss in the game (.t 91%...).
I think the trick is to be really agressive, but there is no way around reacting really really quickly to his attacks.

If the ghost fucks you up too much you could skip him for now and find a way to (permanently) deal with it and come back much later in the game.

Quick Slash was comically strong at 2 Notches, a must-have in all setups. At 3 Notches, it's debatable if you wanna run it sometimes.

The only lore I genuinely don't get is the mask maker. Why do some bugs have masks and some don't? I get that Hollow Knight and Midwife need them otherwise they don't have a face. But for real why do the other bugs have them and why are they fucking everywhere?

Only the maskman, swordbro, and the dreamers have masks, Im pretty sure. Everyone else just looks like that.

Elderbug, Cloth, etc. There are plenty who are definitely wearing masks.
>>
>>171637954
Considering Elderbug's and Zote's mouths move, they may not be masks.
Maybe when we get more interaction with the Mask Maker in DLC we'll get to know more about the masks.

Yup, I use ePSXe, but there's probably some better emulator around nowadays.
Have fun! It's a fantastic game. Not very difficult (especially if you happen to get a few certain items dropped), but satisfying nonetheless, and with lots of content. I think I've played through it six times so far.

I'm surprised that, with the amount of care that has clearly been put into this game, it does not save your position when you exist the game outside a bench.

I mean, if you want people to warp to last bench, why not put in a warp charm? And if you don't, why alow easy warping by saving and reloading?

Now I'm conflicted because on the one hand is a tool that exists even if it's somewhat "meta", but on the other it kinda feels like cheating.

A question to you then. In the lighthouse area, there is the little dock-like thingy that sloped upward above the water. If you swim into it from the right, you can swim under the lighthouse. After a while you get stuck. Press jump and you fall down and die.
Is this a glitch or do I need something to survive?

Why are the Ancient Basin and Abyss so fucking boring? It's a chore passing through both and the tramways in Ancient Basin lead to the 2 most isolated places in the game.

I liked it. It was a bit too sudden since the game never required that sort of skill before, but since I managed to beat the Trial I got gud.

I feel much more flexible and capable of dodging attacks while in the air, it's great. Spike bouncing, too. I think they were afraid of ever making areas that difficult, so they just pushed that shit into the colosseum and the palace. A bit of a shame.

Don't really know how to approach that, like, i don't even know what program should i use.
I'm pretty sad because i didn't want to do the Colosseum since i had some Ores to upgrade the Nail but i was streaming to a friend and he kept bugging me to show him the challenge, then this fucking thing happens.
I really hate it because i really liked the Charms mechanic but now im fucked forever.

remember to NOT use "execute" or else your save will keep rebooting the colosseum forever and you won't be able to finish it, do it via "assign cheat table" after pressing ctl+alt+A on cheat engine, and selecting hollowknight.exe process

yeah for that awesome buildup and design, the fight is pretty shit, unfortunately.

Earlyish game, soulcatcher vs spell twister, is one more optimal than the other?
>>
>>171725868
Soul Catcher benefits your Melee hits.
Spell Twister benefits your Spell casts, which don't gain you Soul.
>>
>>171725962
I looked around and found that spell twister doesn't affect focus only spells. As long as I'm getting hit and using focus to heal, the catcher bonus payout outpaces any savings from twister. I don't know if I explained it well and I'm not confident on the math, but I'm happy enough.

You'll need to unlock that simple key cave at the east side of town to retrieve your bloodstain via Rancid Egg.

what was the message of the game? Who was the bad guy? Or at least, the one who was in the wrong?
It can't be the King. Nothing he did was particularly wrong and he ws completely right in the end
It can't be the hive or the mantis. Their savagery and seclusion kept them from being infected and at the end, they'll coexist with the new nation without much problems
It can't be Radiance, if it is a force of nature trying to occupy its place again, like air does to a vacuum
>>
>>171757979
Does there need to be a "bad guy"? Life is really just a story of opposing forces.
>>
>>171757979
King and Radiance were both similarly egocentric. King was simply not a super butthurt being, but he too liked it when everyone worshipped him. Also I'm still mad at his creation and treatment of Hollow Knights (even if some of you will probably say he did the objectively right thing).

The Hive and Mantis villages aren't in good condition. The Hive's Queen is dead and the bees are basically protecting nothing and will eventually die out. Mantis Village is in a far better condition, but they lost something to Radiance as well (Traitors and Traitor Lord). Just because that happened already doesn't mean that it can't happen again. Also if they hated Hallownest, what makes you think they'll coexist with a more "civilized" nation?

Pretty sure we were supposed to be relieved when we offloaded her onto Zote. She was crazy obsessed, and being in her shrine bedroom was supposed to give us the creeps.

Hollow Knight raised 50k on Kickstarter and was released two and a half years later. A fun, beautiful, well written and long game. This makes me sad because it just confirms that mainstream developers are rarely interested in making good games anymore.

The whole industry pisses me off.
>>
>>171789053

I think this is the main reason. Triple A games have so much budget put into them that there is little room for risks. They favour what is safe and what is already confirmed to work, to make sure they don't lose money.

That's why government and nonprofit/grant work is so inefficient. Ideas make more money than money does. With a big budget and guaranteed salary your workers have no skin in the game. That part is relatively understandable.

What is not understandable is that these multibillion dollar companies don't get that. Funding 100 indie projects with Hollow Knight level money is a more diverse investment than 1 AAA title. Same thing applies to movies.

Playing devil's advocate here, though, you'd then drive a lot of people away from the industry, and sort of force devs to become starving artist types. They'd operate on a shoestring budget, poor job security, no salary, and if the game goes bust they're wrecked.

If the game succeeds, it's unlikely they're reap the profits either; while it may be possible for them to get some sort of profit sharing agreement, the investors have more bargaining power and it's unlikely the devs will get very much out of it.

This kind of environment only really attracts the really devoted sorts, which is fine, but that doesn't necessarily generate sales.

That's only a matter of scale. Destiny costing 500 million to make and generating 1 billion is just doubling your money. Hollow Knight costing 50k and making a 1m is just flat out better investment.

The real problem is that the investment and development are all done in house for the most part. So companies like EA or Blizzard can spend 40 million on development and 120 million on advertising, then call 300 million in sales a success.

The lack of third party investors perpetuates this. Indie games are like medium to high risk mutual funds whereas triple A titles are treated like bonds. If you even the playing field on advertising I imagine many triple A titles would fail.

Does anyone else think Hollow Knight's main theme is discovering oneself and dealing with compromises? It seems to be a theme with the MC and NPCs.

Quirrel's objective was embedded in his mind through his mask and once completed he presumably went to find out where to go next.

Nailsmith's objective was to create the perfect weapon and be killed by it, but in the end he compromises if spared and dedicates himself to other craft.

Nailmaster Sheo's objective was to become strong, but after reaching that he grew bored and compromised by dedicating himself to something else.

Hornet will possibly learn more about herself in her DLC due to her history.

MC was born to be a vessel, but in the true ending he compromises and ends the infection by eliminating the source instead of becoming one.

I might be reading too much into it, but I feel as if the entire game has people changing their path once they realize they cannot accomplish their objective or they set sail for something else once they accomplish their objective (except Zote).

In the case of Queen's Knight, there may be something pertaining to it in Hornet's campaign.
As for changes, a lot. Like, a LOT both great and small.
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=iS-v4NMQkBg
The biggest change I'm seeing is that they used to have a lot more enemies on-screen at one time. Like upwards of Abandoned Tramway if you didn't kill the Carver Hatchers quantities of enemies, but all over the place.
>>
>>171820193
Whoah, that's interesting.
I kind of felt that they missed out on doing more with the dream world, actually.
Also, I wish they'd refined the whole "spell" system a bit more. (I never really used the spells consistently, because I felt I needed the soul for healing.)
Less--and more specific--charms would be great, while having way more permanent passive acquired abilities.
It's like "Hey! You found this neat new ability! ..but you won't be able to use it unless you relinquish others, and change your play style."

Still a really nice game though.
>>
>>171820708
I used the spells more than I did of any of the spells in Symphony of the Night at least, so it's improvement off of that.
They could do a mode similar to Circle of the Moon, where you're forced into a certain playstyle. In this case, make your sword do barely any damage, but start off with magic, and either decrease the SOUL use of spells, or increase how much SOUL you can hold.

I'd loved it if mapping was something you did yourself, only that you started without the ability, then soon you'd get a cartographer's parchment and quill. Your map would first be very crude and simple, but as you find upgrades throughout the game (the pins and such that the mapmaker's wife sells among them), your map becomes more and more sophisticated and useful.

Still, it wouldn't do to simply do away with that wonderful cartographer character either. I really like him, and he's someone I'd love to cuck

Time to draw more Hornet I guess. Going for a frontal upskirt this time.
Should I give her striped panties, or stick with the sling bikini like in the OP?

Eh the King is kind of a bastard too, the entire game is about trying to clean up the mess he left behind, Sacrificing the entire kingdom more or less to stem the plague. And if you go to 2400 essence and visit the moth she will tell you how they flipped their entire culture religion around resulting in the plague.

To be fair, when your choice is sentience or your culture, most people would pick sentience.

>>171881441
This is the same game where The King basically wins in the bad ending, because The Plague is properly sealed, unlike that shitty leaky seal The Hollow Knight is in.
When you notice that plagued enemies give of dust cloud damage, but the others don't
>>
>>171881579
There are indicators that the whole "mind granted by this kingdom" is somewhat of a bullshit king used to brainwash people. For example the archivist tells you that Arcane eggs are manufactured by civilisation preceding Hollow Nest.And they are way more intricate than what people in hollow nest used. So I don't buy it.

>>171881740
>The Plague is properly sealed
Untill the next time it gets unsealed you mean. From what I gather the seals didn't work because it's like trying to seal an ocean with a plug. Sooner or later any plug will give, no matter how good.
>>
>>171881441
Plague was brought on by a butthurt god-wannabe. Pale King sacrificed nothing more than several void beings and three (willing) Dreamers. He was basically the good guy here.
>>
>>171882057

All the arcane eggs prove is that the prevailing intelligence the Radiance is extremely intelligent.

Absolutely nothing in-game indicates that the Radiance was anything less than an entirely evil being hell-bent on controlling all insect-people.

>>171881513
It doesn't prevent you from being hit, it prevents you from taking damage when you are hit.

>>171882236
You are talking about a guy who started a theocracy worshipping himself as god, he started it by abandoning long standing tradition of worship of Light of Essence replacing it by light of Radiance with him as a God-Emprah. He was the god wanna be, what are you on about. Unless you mean to say that we are talking about 2 different kings, in which case please do elaborate, I saw no signs of more than one entity wearing moniker of King.


>>171882368

That isn't the point. The point is that there is no evidence to suggest that sapience is granted by the entity. Archivist as well as Cartographer and his wife all have lines saying that they came TO hollowest to practice their craft. How many cartographers do not posess sapience in your opinion? And again, the bugs of hollow nest worshipped Essence before they did Radience. How can you worship w/o sapience?
>>
Why does the Radiance look like the white knights?
>>
>>171881513
Its basically "I want to heal, but I don't want to take damage if i fuck up the timing"
It only works while you FOCUS
It doesn't seem to have any cooldown either, beyond your limited Soul gauge.

It only really breaks against stuff like Soul Master, because he ALWAYS repeats his dives if they fail.
>>
>>171883119

If the Radiance has nothing to do with the sapience of hallownest, why does the infection it created so actively and spitefully take it away in favor of base instincts, exactly as NPCs from BEFORE hallownest tell you?

>>171883815
>take it away in favor of base instincts
It reduces bug to base instincts so it can be easily controlled by the Radience itself. Look at the Hollowknight. He is the most infected sonofabitch in the entire game, what does he do when he breaks control for a few seconds? Try to help you kill him. So he no longer needs suffer the living hell of being infected. Radience doesn't give awareness, it strips it away with it's infection to take over the body of the bug. But because the King was a half competent bastard there are very few entities Radience can control while sealed away in the Vessel. And those of strong will can resist the infection no matter how much time they spend submerged in shit. On the flip side happy go lucky bug Myla that came to hollownest to mine some of it's fabled ore gets jacked halfway trough the game by infection.

>>171884427

The main problem I have with the idea that the King is the villain as opposed to Radiance is that the people who tell you that the Radiance was an evil motherfucker have no ulterior motive for doing so. They offer no past or present allegiance to the King, and gain nothing by telling you lies.

Sure, the King might have been dubious in his methods, but all signs point to his defeat of Radiance and freeing the bugs as completely genuine.
>>
>>171885768
Oh, Radiance is the villain no question, it wants to take over the bugs and use them for hell knows what, but the king is a bastard too,that is if we assume there was ever only 1 king before the plague shindig got rolling. First he created a theology with him as a god-emprah and Radiance as a source of power and object of worship. Then started spreading all sorts of propaganda Then when Radiance pounced wit it's plague to take over his fief he sacrificed his citizens to the Abyss to create a perfect vessel. And seal the Radiance once and for all. Presumably he believed it understandable. Given that the only reason we are able to take it out is sheer weight of the horde of failed vessels we throw at it, he probably wasn't that far off.

The main problem with the above description is the name some characters and references use for the king - Wyrm is also refereed to as if he could transition between forms. It is possible that that's just combination of propaganda and high end magic, or that the king - Wyrm was(is?) himself an entity not unlike radiance, or there was more than one king. As I said above - dark souls storytelling is all well and good, but the moment you try to figure out exact details you start digging head first into shit.

Out of curiosity, why replay a metroidvania? Don't get me wrong, if it's fun for you have at it. I'm just curious what's the appeal? Having just finished it the most fun was exploration, and given that you now, presumably, know most of the game, what are you getting out of it?

The number of failed vessels seems secondary considering that, shaped or not, the Voidheart grants complete and total control over the ENTIRE void, and all of its vessels. While it's vague what exactly the void IS, it's clear that it's an incomprehensibly powerful force, apparently far greater than the radiance.

The king part is a good point, but considering how little we know about the wyrm besides its apparent scale and abilities may not preclude it from being some form of higher lifeform, similar to the Radiance only (mostly) benevolent. It being referred to as a God may not be entirely propaganda.

At the very least, the (apparent?) creation of at least one fully sentient being certainly lends credence to this notion.

I do agree, though. While I do adore the dark souls storytelling, and I think it works FAR better in this game than in dark souls itself, it does obscure a few key points relating to the background which are fairly important to the background. Oh well, maybe we'll get some clarification in Hornet's campaign.

I might replay to try out the hardcore mode difficulty for bragging rights.

>grants complete and total control over the ENTIRE void
This is largely semantics, so pardon me while I explain my flimsy justification for this particular bit of headcannon, but if you look carefully it doesn't say that, it says "unite behind the bearer", not "gives complete mastery over". The Abyss itself seems to me to be like an ocean powerful, vast, but directonless. The amount of power any one vessel commands is but a drop from that ocean. However if you have enough vessels united together they turn into a wave of darkness that can overwhelm a powerful, but not omnipotent being like Radiance.

I have a sneaking and largely unsupported suspicion that Radiance himself is a result of an experiment much similar to the creation of vessels but with light as source, not darkness. Just as a side note - this suspicion arose from the idea that the advanced civilisation from before the Hollownest could posses knowledge and skills required to create such beings, and both Wyrm and Radience could be from that civilisation, essentially ascended beings - bug turned to near godlike entities trough magic, much like PC is by the end of the game. I mean look at your skillset by the end - you are no Radiance but you are no normal bug either.

But as usual with dark souls storytelling you can figure out at least two or the other perfectly reasonable explanations for the situation we are faced with in the game.

Good luck, I can't fathom doing White Palace or the arena in one go.
>>
How the hell do i beat Hornet? I've died countless times to her and i can't find a good strat. This is my first time playing btw.
>>
>>171894432
Her first fight or her second fight?
>>
>>171894493
There's a second one??!! And first to answer your question.
>>
>>171894432
You can probably postpone her until you get first blade upgrade. Shouldn't be necessary, but if you are having trouble - just leave her be, game's nonlinear, just don't forget to come back later. There is no great secret to beating her tho, just learn patterns and respond accordingly.
>>
>>171895156
Where do i find the first upgrade? I've looked everywhere for something else, but haven't found much but the shopkeeper who sells charms and junk.
>>
>>171894432
i dont remember having hard time with her and i didnt have a single upgrade, try to learn her pattern and hit her when she finish doing her move she doesnt have a lot of hp so you can play safely without trying to rush things
>>
>>171895441
Ok, thanks dude

>>171894876
When she throws her nail across the screen, if she's close enough to one side of the arena, you can stay on the other side and have a moment to heal. When she uses her attack that slashes around herself is another good time to heal, you just have to look out for signs that she's about to do it so you don't get hit by it. If you have Soul to spare that you're not using to heal, you can use your Vengeful Spirit spell to hit her. Also remember you can bounce off her and her nail by slashing downwards.

>You can probably postpone her until you get first blade upgrade
Unless I'm crazy you need to beat her to get the dash, which you need to get everywhere but the first few areas.

Hollow Knight already has a tag on Paheal

>>
>>171894493
Any advice for the second fight? Her timings and windows are a lot tighter.
>>
>>171900734
Just take the fight slowly while taking out the spikes as they come out. Only go for the hit you know you can land without taking damage since there isn't much wiggle room for healing.
>>
Someone told me to dreamnail the hollow knight but it did nothing
am i missing something ?

>>171900734
charm to heal faster, charm to get more soul, use your dash to avoid her rush
>>
>>171901751
You need to nail the Hollow Knight when he is most vulnerable.
You also need Hornet to make a hole for you.
>>
>>171895389
If you need to know, google Nailsmith, explaining would take too long.

>>171898376
Ehh, it's a pain in the butt but I think(!) you can get away w/o it. Tho I have my doubts about the Fungus-City bridge.
>>
>>171901425
Thanks for that, got her third try this time.

>>171901751
I found it easier to keep my distance and bait out the diagonal charge. If you're across her in the arena, her nail and horizontal charge won't hit and she won't use the AoE spell. Clearing the spikes is really important in this strat though, since it depends on mobility.
>>
>using the shadow spell with the chaman charm

that much damage should be illegal
>>
Does Hornet appear in Deepnest before or after you Dream Nail her mother? I don't want to do something that'll make me skip out on lore.
>>
>>171905776
If you've gotten the King's Brand, after.

Do we need a new thread?
