Hollow Knight Video Game • Page 3

I must have died 30-35 times before I realized you have to use the downward strike on Hornet. After that I died another 15-20 times before finally winning. I need to pick this back up...I got really demoralized that the second boss I encountered was that hard and quit..lol.

 

Been trying to get through boss rush and the last part of the Colosseum to no avail.

 

I love this game. I've put in 78 hours and I haven't even done the Grimm Troupe stuff. Probably won't ever do any Godmaster junk, I hate boss rush modes and the bosses alone were frustrating (but eventually satisfying) enough as it is

 

Had to palate cleanse for a couple weeks with some other games but came back to this over the weekend. Unlocked the Tram and spent a good solid hour terrified of dying anywhere because I couldn’t find a bench anywhere. Finally made my way to this Colosseum thing, probably on my 20th try now with the first challenge

 

You might wanna go back to the Colosseum a little later after you've upgraded your nail more/got some more masks

 

Especially considering the first round of the colosseum is a joke compared the the second and third ;)

 

The third is so fucking frustrating. I cannot deal with the part with no floor. I got to the boss twice with like two hearts.

 

i'm still so angry i can't get the timing right on this Hornet fight (and this is only the FIRST fight with her!! i'mma have to go through this again!!!)

 

Do you have the charge attack yet? That makes every boss fight a lot easier

 

nah, just the spirit blast thing. i don't think i can get anything else right now until i beat her (this is where i get dash)
i'm just misjudging when i need to jump over her (cuz then SHE jumps into me) and shit like that.

 

Keep at it. This game rewards tenacity with satisfying power boosts. It's kind of a bummer you apparently know what the upgrades to come are, though. IMO it's a better experience not knowing what's ahead.

 

i mean i saw a lot of it from the games trailer, haha

 

Well took everyone’s advice and ditched the Colosseum for now. Luckily I found Cornifer shortly after venturing back out so at least I’ll be able to find my way back when I’m ready!

I decided to keep rummaging through Deepnest and found myself mixed up in that whole crazy spider place lol. Found my way to the Dreamer over there and then got out as soon as I could afterward. That was a fucked up way to spend an hour and a half right before sleeping haha

 

OH MY GOD I FINALLY FUCKING BEAT HORNET FINALLY AHHHHHHH

 

Got crystal heart the other day and I’ve been FLYIN

 

But fuuuuuck Lost Kin

 

sometimes wandering aimlessly aka getting lost as shit ends up advancing my progress so much, lol.
after getting the Mantis Claw/wall jump i wandered into the City of Tears, then got lost and somehow ended up in the Resting Grounds, and i stumbled upon the Dream Nail!!
i love this game

 

I'm about 20 hours into this and I constantly feel like I've reached a point where every path I haven't explored requires some new ability or has a boss that I'm way too underpowered to defeat. But somehow I always end up stumbling into a new area every time I play. Pretty impressive.

 

At 42 hours in this may sound sad but I’m really just learning how crucial the downwards strike is against enemies. I haven’t gotten the timing down quite yet but I’m battling Hornet right now in Kingdom’s Edge and I’ll take any little hit I can get

 

that downward strike is essential. i'm fighting the Soul Master right now and i got SO angry last night i threw my controller, lol.
i came so close to beating him the first time, and every subsequent attempt has gone worse than the last.

 

God damn that thing was infuriating. I felt like every time I fought that guy it was me just chasing him around until I eventually died

 

the most annoying part is i'm trying to get to him with full health+the two extra lifeblood hitpoints i get from that charm but having to get past like 3 Soul Twisters is SO annoying. cuz i'm guaranteed to lose my extra health if i stop and fight them all.

(i keep wanting to say "hearts" when referring to my hit points/health, lol)

 

I didn't realize until way too late how to use the map markers. I keep coming across bosses that I skipped over earlier and would have never remembered if I wasn't combing through the map again. Just fought the Mantis Lords.

 

came across them once exploring the area. saw the prompt that said "challenge," knew i shouldn't. did it anyway. died immediately.

 

Ugh, tell me about it. I used so many of those things early on when I thought I was further in the game than I was on dumb things that I never needed to return to or would’ve known exactly how to get back to anyway
