what's even stranger is they make you go through it to even access the new dlc, a lot of people are going to be upset by that i think

I never did like the healing-system. You recover health from the same pool as magic spells, which discouraged me from using spells. You can only recover one mask at a time at a slow speed, without charms. I just can't time it right when to recover so I often tank hits when I really shouldn't. It makes me pine for the estus-system from Dark Souls, or the medpacks from Hyper Light Drifter,. Just press a button in a safe-window and you get back half your health.

I can understand not wanting to spend soul because "What if I need it for health points!" because I was like that for a real good chunk of the game and I'm used to spells in games like this Not Being Worth It but man when I actually started using magic it was unreal. The fact I can down the true final boss without being close to it and get all my SOUL back in a few hits? Holding onto it didn't really have meaning anymore.
That and with the soul vessel upgrades constantly pouring into the main tank I didn't really have a excuse to hold onto it because they can refill at any time.

That said I don't get the last part as it's literally a push a button in a safe window thing. There's only like 4-5 bosses in the game that do two pips of damage to you so as long as you aren't face tanking/healing you can get your health back pretty fast- that and like, 95% of the bosses have a "Oh no we're flailing around helplessly" state where you can recover 3 pips

Iirc there's a new thing in the sewers? Dunno if there's anything to direct you there though. You might need a simple key? I guess they'd have to add a new one somewhere

The key you need is in the coliseum .

For the single bosses, it seems that
The first difficulty is the original boss, just a bit harder/more hp.
The second difficulty changes the boss or the arena in some way.
The third difficulty is the same as the second (afaik), but you die in one hit.

Oh well I guess the third difficulty doesn't actually change anything from the second when it comes to NKG

Mind showing me what statues you're talking about? The only other places I've seen the king's image besides in dreams and flashbacks are the fountain in ancient basin and the king's idols.

Re: size - the flashbacks and dream sequences where we see the king also show the hollow knight as tiny and its def much larger when we meet it. Idk

Can someone tell me without spoiling anything how hidden the new DLC is? Will I come across it naturally if I do another playthrough and keep my eyes open, or do I need to slash every wall and ground pound everywhere to see if it's breakable? Maybe on a 1-10 scale, where the Hidden Station is a 1, the White Defender location is a 10, and the start of the Grimm Troupe is a 5.

You have to get an [item] in one area and use it another. So 6 or 7 since it's not as explicit as Grimm?

Probably a 5, 7 or 6 if you've used all the other simple keys.

You have been a most worthy adversary, but in every game, there are winners and there are losers. And as you know, in this game, losers get robotizicized!
i believe this version fixes the respawning geo cache that gives 420 per run. good thing i set the game to only update when i run the game so i could grind out the health and greed charms~

I can't promise it will live up to the hype, but I tried my best.
I was able to access the area with the simple key on a 94% cleared save, so the former.

Looks like the new mode is locked behind completing Godshome. Still wanna know what it is!

I watched someone unlock it on stream (and then not actually look to see what it is), you don't have to complete everything, just the first three pantheons. doesn't seem like bindings matter either.
