I'm 22 hours in and think I'm near the end of the game (Watcher Knights, have every movement ability) and I've never seen any of this stuff you guys are talking about.

My charge attack just stopped hitting enemies. Is that a glitch or does that happen under certain conditions? I mean like my charge slash is coming into contact with the enemy but nothing is happening.

Yeah, I spent everything I had on the lamp as soon as I saw it (I remember Zelda II!) and IIRC the map was right near the entrance. I actually made it out the other side of Deepnest and saw some creepy poo poo, but other than unlocking the stagway in distant village, it was kind of a waste to go there at this stage of the game since I just kept running into things I could interact with but not do anything to (yet).

I just beat Lost Kin in the Basin. Kinda of a bullshitty fight compared to Broken Vessel, but man Defenders Crest makes it manageable. EDIT: Oh dang, using dreamgate costs essence?!

It costs 1 measly essence. You'll probably use it a few dozen times over the course of the game. It's nothing. You get way more essence than you even need for the achievement, let alone everything significant.

I'm so loving sick of fighting the second crystal guardian. This boss is offensively simple but his timing doesn't seem predictable and his leap is too loving fast when it's at you instead of straight into the air. Well after posting I beat it immediately. It was bullshit cause his beams from above killed me as I killed him. I am considering this my first time losing Geo. Wildtortilla fucked around with this message at 01:44 on Jul 5, 2018 |

Wildtortilla, since there's a bench right there, you might as well just go grab your shade, then you can save and quit out to return safely to the bench. Alternatively, you could shoot the shade with magic to draw it out of the boss room before fighting it.

Went after Soul Tyrant since beating Lost Kin made me think I could take him. Yeah, I think I will wait on that one. On retrospect I probably should have waited on a couple of upgrades for the latter as well to save a headache.

Hey everybody who told me to put money in the bank? Each of you can go gently caress yourself! Luckily I read that they go to the pleasure spa with your money so I wasn’t actually mad. Pretty great rate of return on that! Edit: when/where do I get double jump? I got to the Teacher’s Archive in Fog Canyon but I can’t get the loving map for Fog Canyon without double jump!!!

Talk about the dreamgate has me wondering why the devs made using it cost essence. As many pointed out, you gain back way more than is necessary for ~~story stuff~~, AND you will gain it back from just killing enemies normally. So the amortized cost of using it is 0, maybe even negative (since you can gain a trickle of essence even without having used it). So why even bother? Lore reasons? To prevent you from expending 900 deaths beating your head on that one boss?  I took the advice of some goons here and bought Celeste. drat that's a good, hard game. Path of Pain seems like chump change compared to celeste's B-sides, and I haven't even unlocked the C-sides! So yeah, thanks, goons!

my uncle at nintendo told me the switch is gonna get a coop version where one person plays hornet and the other plays hollow knight, and you can press both bumpers at the same time to instantly bubble yourself that way you don't screw each other up doing jumping puzzles. e: you can down slash the bubble to pogo off of it, that way you don't have to get an enemy to come over when you're trying to do specific jumps. e2: also whenever one of you dies, you have to fight the shade to bring them back.

Speaking of the infected crossroads . While I think the general idea is cool, I have no idea why the hell they decided to block some of the paths. Like, what was the purpose of that? It just makes it tedious to accomplish menial poo poo when you go back there and there's no gameplay reason for it.

I think it's basically to force you out of the area and learn the other area connections. I certainly found myself using different paths in the endgame.

Other way around, placing the gate is free but warping costs 1. The cost is so low that it's completely irrelevant anyway even if you do make extensive use of dream gates, and like someone mentioned using dream gate doubles your chances of randomly finding 1 essence when killing any enemy so the cost doesn't matter twice over.

Dream Gate is just a mark/recall spell. Dreamnail+Down to set a warp point, then Dreamnail+Up to warp to it.
