Hollow Knight Video Game • Page 22

took me 4 hours lol

team cherry put more mask shards in the opening areas challenge

 

I have 9 areas mapped right now and really loving this despite being terrible at it.

but also, boss SUMMONS do 2 masks??

 

Have 9 areas mapped and being terrible at it is much better than my experience at being terrible

 

The sense of exploration and the environment is so fucking cool. Getting my ass beat but still having fun.

 

loosing 300 rosaries to random easy enemies on your way back to the boss makes me very sad.

 

I found a way to very easily farm rosary beads if anyone's interested:

When you get to the Halfway Home in Greymoor, rest at the bench and then leave the building to the right. Go to the next cave area and there will be three enemies - one with a big pipe thing to attack, one that throws things at you, and one basic one that just tries to roll into you. If you use the silkspear attack then you can stab through them all and it should kill all but the biggest one who just needs one more hit (I guess I'm writing this after getting a needle strength upgrade which is just an area or two after Greymoor, so it may not be as strong if you don't have that yet). Killing them and then returning to the Halfway Home bench to respawn them takes about 15-20 seconds

By default they collectively drop I think around 30 beads, so that's about 90 beads per minute with essentially no risk because they're very weak/predictable/fast to kill + you just regain health when you rest again

There's also a badge (I know they're not called badges here but that's still how I think of them) that you can get *way* later that will enhance the amount of beads enemies drop (with the risk being that you lose beads as you get hit), and that will up it to 47 beads. So at this point I'm about to get nearly 150 beads in just about minute. But if you're still in that area then I really wouldn't worry about it right now because you have *so* much more to get to before getting that badge is even an option lol

 

I have the sense that I'm about somewhere between halfway and 2/3 through the main story, and this game is so much bigger than you all may realize yet. Like probably twice as big as the Hollow Knight map. If you're at 9 areas (I think that would be around Bellhart/Shellwood?) then you're probably like...20% through lol. Think like, finally beating Godrick in Elden Ring and then discovering everything past his castle

 

Just getting to Shellwood/Wormways area now so this is great news

 

I’m currently in two different areas and not sure which I’m actually supposed to be in

 

lol same

 

Finished Act 1 and I literally think the Last Judge is the longest I’ve ever spent on a boss fight (that I actually was able to beat) in any video game.

It came right after Widow too, who was super fun because her fight felt somewhere between Grimm and NKG from the original.
