Hollow Knight spoiler warning

Interesting. NKG tends to get better once you get the hang of playing at his speed.

man remember when hollow-knight silksong was released?

yeah me neither

pure vessel and zote are easier than nkg
:fr:

Pure knight is easy asf
Its literally the last boss of hollow knight, it just does 2x damage thats all

I was going to 100% Hollow Knight but fuck this. I’m tired of getting my ass handed to me, and that’s what the rest of the experience will consist of.

dude 100%ing hollow knight is easy

it’s getting to 112% that’s the real challenge

??? you mean those little worm shits??? or do you mean the first boss, because if you died to those worms whos only attack is moving back and forth without even trying to hit you I swear

112 was the easiest thing ive ever done

I didn’t know the DLC made it go above 100%, what I meant is fully completing the game.

Anyways my point is the rest of the completion process would be an unfun slog so I’m quitting. Laugh at me all you want, I think NKG is hard enough that he’s no longer fun and it’s only going to get harder.

radiance isn’t that bad, i can redo the fight. Abs Rad is a pain in the ass though.

genuinely don’t know how I beat nkg but I’ve only ever beaten him once. All subsequent attempts have been fruitless.

wym bro, false night isn’t that bad. I have unbreakable strength, unbreakable heart, quickslash, and longnail on my build. The trick is to just dash under his ass when he’s jumping around. Like zig zagging, if you will.
left>hit, right>hit, left>hit, and then dodge his meatball rain.

tbh beating nkg was the most gratifying thing ever. I have the game at 112% too, thank god I don’t have to do the 5th pantheon or the path of pain lmaooo.

oh god no i hate that fight. almost cried when i first fought him in the pantheon LMAO

ok then

Right, but I’d have to get my ass handed to me for who knows how long in order to experience that gratification.

all i can say is learn the attack patterns and stay calm. That entire fight is a test of flow if that makes sense. Even if you lose to once move, don’t panic or you’ll just lose the whole game. A lot harder said than done but hehe

honestly, it’s pretty simple to defeat bosses when you find the right time to heal. granted with nkg there is like…0 time.

you can only heal masks once when he goes into his bat form lmao, i tried being greedy and it sucked

I’ve actually had some success healing at other times, particularly the move where he flies up and splits into multiple projectiles and the move where he turns his cape into spikes.

However, you have to start focusing right when he starts using one of those or else he’ll hit you with another move before you can finish healing

this thread just makes me want to curl up in a ball and cry because of the absolute godliness that is hollow-knight. i almost feel compelled to start and finish a new file between now and tomorrow, but i know that if i choose to do so that i will have no sanity left by the time it’s done.

but…i think its worth it.
