Hollow Knight Video Game • Page 30

holy shit lol I thought I was done

 

Ok I’m grinding out the twisted bud ending tonight no matter how long it takes

 

Starting act 2

 

just reached the final boss of Act 2. very cool. very normal.

 

Underworks can get absolutely fucked

 

i wish the last judgewasn't this difficult, moreso out of boredom than frustration. i spent all day on this (granted, fifteen minutes at a time so i don't get too frustrated) and i just want to explorrrrre. there's so many other areas to get to, so much art and music to appreciate, but then there's this fucker in the way ughhh

 

this fight was so frustrating for me because i could see that i was extremely capable of doing it and kept coming insanely close but if you make a tiny mistake its a verrrrrrry punishing fight so id always get hit by some bullshit in phase 2 or 3 and quickly spiral because i was scrambling

 

The ending to the Cogwork Dancers fight was so heartbreaking

 

Just got to the much talked about Hypogean Gaol part. Reminds me more of Metroid Zero Mission. Zero Suit Hornet.

 

Just got the suit back. Hear me out, Hornet, am I right fellas?

 

Holy shit this game

 

Holy shit you guys

 

Where are you at now? I beat Act 3 a couple days ago

 

finally beat the last judge and just made it to grand bellway the music in choral chambers is so nice

 

escaped the abyss. did all the flea games and upgraded my needle all the way. doing all the sidequests. just fought the pinstress and raced the fast bug in far fields

just don't tell me there's an act 4. this is really a 100+ hour game for people doing everything huh

i mean i did spend like 5 hours on the first beastfly fight. i should've just waited until i was overpowered lol but I'm not looking up anything so to find new areas i have to poke around everywhere. that takes time too

btw OP combo fully upgraded poison tacks or conchcutter. goodnight enemies

 

Honestly sinners road hasn't been that bad

maybe it's because I'm doing it to procrastinate on beating the final judge. I like that fight itself but the run up is just so... bad. I had to take a break. Cleared all of sinners road at least according to the map expect the one area it looks like I need some kinda double jump for. The maggots aren't bad they are basically just like... less punishing spikes. And it's fun trying to fill your silk meter so you can get rid of them

The platforming challenge to fix the bench was a fun change of pace
One other thing, maybe a reflection of how bad I am:

rosaries feel like almost a non issue. I have like ~800 banked up in strings and other such things. Intentionally went down to zero before going into sinners road but then I still built that back up to like 300 before I lost then but I'm like not even concerned. Guess the people complaining about stuff costing too much are too good so aren't getting geo from the same couple of enemies 20+ times and so aren't building a big stack?

 

I don't think I'd mind the fight nearly as much if there was a bench right before it

The atmosphere of the run up is really great the first time at building up this sense of desolation

But the 30th time you have to go through it? The sound, visuals, everything about the run-up feels intentionally non enjoyable which works great at first but it's terrible to have to keep doing it again and again and again

 

There’s a shortcut

 

Literally almost any annoyance in this game can be mitigated if you pay attention

 

There's usually a bench by the bellway in each area

 

there's always a bench in the banana stand

 

really good video. I don't know anything about this guy so if he's problematic let me know haha

 

Yeah the first run through the abyss is so cool, particularly the climb back up.

How many times did you race the fast bug? He has multiple tracks

There’s still a good number of bonus non-required boss fights you can get now. I think most are through quests, but I think there are some I wouldn’t have found if I didn’t look it up before the final fight

 

Choral chambers worse
