Yeah he's got two stages. The first one gets you the notch and is midgame difficultly. The second is the hardest boss in the game. But they're both part of the same quest and you gotta fight the first to get to the second.

The charm notch and Grimm fight is not something you can miss as long as you progress the quest. The same is not true for NKG but it should be blindingly obvious what skips that fight.

Arrhythmia posted:I do not know what the last few words in that sentence are even supposed to mean, but all of the DLC is hidden, some parts more than others, throughout the game. After you beat the final boss tho you just respawn at the last save point and can turn around so there's no reason you can't just volte face back to the DLC after the main game though. Sorry, phone posting autocorrect craziness. Just wondered if it was like “ you have beaten the final boss! Now take on this DLC campaign” or if it was something you can encounter integrated within the campaign. Sounds like the latter .

I got the crystal heart and found a simple key and unlocked the sewers. So is that the way forward or I missing something on my map that the big dash will get me through?

Definitely my favorite part about playing this game is when it randomly crashes. Bonus when it crashes twice during the end boss within a half hour of each other!!! Like the true end boss is hard enough without it crashing during what was shaping up to be my best run

There's definitely some useful stuff if you explore that area. In fact, now that I think about that might be the natural route given the regions I believe you can access from it

What's rad about this game is loading it up having just bought the lantern and thinking I'll check out the dark cave at the right of Forgotten Crossroads before heading to City of Tears and three hours later I've been ping-ponged by upgrades and whatnot to a bunch of places that aren't City of Tears. I think the time I played prior I also had the same destination in mind but never got there.

What’s the pro-strategy for Trial of the Fool? I somehow made it to the end once but died at the boss. I get wrecked by the parts where they send a lot of flying enemies after you or restrict you to just being on the walls. I can’t figure out a good charm combo. I believe I was running: Nailmaster’s Glory, Mark of Pride, Unbreakable Strength, Quick Slash, Void Heart(lol), Grubsong the time I made it to the boss. Idk if that’s too many notches? I tried using Weaversong and Glowing Womb but it didn’t work out as well as I had hoped it would.

I feel very bad about killing the false knight’s brothers. especially since if you dream nail them they go “wake up brother! help us!”  but I had to, for the hunter’s journal.

I believe I was running: The most important thing is to plan out when to use your magic and when to build it. You should always heal to full when the opportunity presents itself. Basically, kill everything except one of these in each wave, and top your health off before killing it and moving on: http://hollowknight.wikia.com/wiki/Shielded_Fool - just dash to the other side of the arena and heal as much as you want http://hollowknight.wikia.com/wiki/Mantis_Petra - stay on the ground, hop over the disc thing when it's thrown, and heal as soon as you're clear; you can only get in one mask per disc http://hollowknight.wikia.com/wiki/Battle_Obble - just stay away from being directly on a diagonal from it http://hollowknight.wikia.com/wiki/Death_Loodle - hard to explain exactly how to do it without risk, but it can be done with a little practice It's also possible to heal against aspids and other flying creatures just by quickly ascending or descending, so long as you have a platform. Don't forget about Abyss Shriek when fighting the magicians. The hardest section is obviously the one with only walls and floor spikes. My best advice is to get used to using the slash nail art while sliding on the wall. It's more manageable than trying a lot of mid-air acrobatics.

So what's with them telling you to go claim yourself as king when in fact they just want you to just contain the infection? Or do they just mean claim yourself as king so the door to the abyss will open

Over There posted:So what's with them telling you to go claim yourself as king when in fact they just want you to just contain the infection? Second one. Re: Trial of the Fool, like it was told to me earlier in the thread, so I will pass on to you. Start training on using the Nailmaster moves. They let you one shot most of the enemies during the no-floor section, the rest is just pattern practice and you'll get there!

Trial of the Fool was the very last thing I did in the game - even after NKG - and I went with a build designed to maximize damage. I believe it was Unbreakable Strength, Dreamshield, Dream Wielder, Mark of Pride, and Nailmaster's Glory.

I haven't even done trial of the fool yet. It's just boring to redo the easy parts you've done 10 times already to be able to practice the hard part you died to. It's like a bad MMO boss encounter which introduces new mechanics 10 minutes into the fight.

I returned to the game after last playing it when there was no DLC. I died to Grimm a few times but all of a sudden managed to ace him without taking much damage. From what I've read, an average skilled player like me should probably just leave the quest at that and go see the updated Hive or something.

NKG isn't impossible, you just have to be willing to spend time with it. Once you have a "counter" for each one of his moves, you just have to practice enough to sync it together.

I got the bad ending I heard you can lock yourself out of so I went ahead and explored a lot more. I got both halves of the king charm or whatever, I beat regular Grimm, I beat the hive knight, I fully upgraded the nail. I've seen people talk about using charms I still haven't found on much earlier bosses, so there's still a bunch of stuff I've passed up. I think I've heard people talk about the path of pain being somewhere in white palace? I guess it's a side thing in there?

yeah, it's behind a breakable wall, you can look up where it is without spoiling anything since you've already been through the palace. be forewarned: you get literally nothing except a journal entry from doing it, not even a completion percentage point like the trial of the fool. so it is incredibly important that you beat it

beating the path of pain feels better than anything else in the entire game that should be reason enough

Now that you have the king charm there's a new path leading down at the bottom. You find a mirror. Dream nail it. Play through the scene. You lose the kingcharm and get the voidheart. Now go get the good ending.
