DTaeKim posted:Congratulations! Did everything just click for you that run? I did do a lot of practice, with PV, NKG and AR, even on ascendant difficulty, so I was pretty solid. The bit I wasn't confident on was the ascent and final stage.... so the very final end. I think I had one hit left and was in a half "oh god oh god" and half "I got this" especially when it went to the middle for the final blow. And thanks for the congrats all!

Apparently the pantheon completion emblem has a special glow if you no-hit the pantheon of hallownest, but is overwritten if you do the pantheon of hallownest with all four bindings. Regular:  Hitless:  All bindings:

Apparently the real thing stopping people from finishing hitless all bindings runs is the collector. That's not really the boss you think of when you think hardest bosses, but there you go.

Pre-nerf Pantheon Collector (back when his spawns took two nail hits to kill) was one of the ruder bosses and when you're forced into Nail + Charm + Soul bindings killing the jar pets quickly would become a real hassle, so I can see it.

Oh poo poo, maybe I’ll go back and try to get through more of Godhome. I got stuck on the Collector early on and gave up. Also didn’t know he was nerfed.

I've been stuck at AR now for a bit. been able to reliably get her down during practice, laser phase notwithstanding. was feeling confident I'd get the pantheon today. so ofcourse loving Markoth did my near perfect run in.

I'm trying to beat Hornet 2 but it's so frustrating. I can't seem to figure out a pattern for her, and she seems to just change direction to either be wherever I'm landing to damage me, or meet me in the air. I thought I was just seeing things until one time when I just dropped mid air when moving across the screen and then so did she to hit me.

I beat this game for the first time a few days ago and, upon deciding to watch a lore video to fill in some gaps, despite having a 97% complete file apparently there is an assload of game left somehow??? Just skimming the last page of this thread trying not to read too much is an experience. I have no idea how to access any of this stuff, are you supposed to organically know how to find pantheons or whatever or did people just read patch notes when they came out? Also, geo ka lala

Yeah godhome is not really meant to be discovered organically, you can just randomly find it but it's basically an expanded endgame for people who are actively looking for that I don't think it's a good approach but it is what it is

I found godhome organically! I spent hours scouring the map for poo poo though. As a result one or my big complaints about this game is that you can't warp to benches.

I think that would dramatically reduce the sense of danger and exploration and helplessness that the game sets out to achieve, but maybe as an endgame charm for beating Hollow Knight or something

By the time you've beaten most of the bosses and you're just on the hunt for the final masks and grubs and poo poo it's not a sense of danger and helplessness, just tedium.

I feel like the new Dream Nail ability they added was exactly the amount of fast travel Hollow Knight needed. There are a couple of specific routes I find obnoxious because e.g. there's one of those three-projectile flying enemies that are so hard to predict on the route but in general I didn't mind the amount of backtracking in a typical run.

Same. I thought late game was pretty tedious on my first playthrough, because I needed to hoof it from city of tears to the abyss a bunch of times, but with the stag station added to ancient basin and the dream nail teleport, getting around is convenient enough nowadays.

As someone with maybe a newer perspective on this, I looked over some of the patch notes and was surprised that the teleport and additional station(s?) wasn't in from the start, that must have sucked. I agree as it is it feels just right, although getting around lower Greenpath and some of the Fungal Wastes was kind of a slog in the early / mid game. Also looking back, they tease the tram pass so early compared to when you get it, and the actual tram route from the crossroads is obsolete by the time you get it. Just felt like a really odd decision, when the overall map design is extremely coherent otherwise. metasynthetic fucked around with this message at 01:05 on Dec 6, 2021 |

I mean other than the tram line, your options for getting to deepnest all have some pretty significant disadvantages, and they were trying to convince them to join the kingdom weren't they? Makes sense to build a convenient transport system there.

Also weren’t the tram lines canonically built hundreds of years ago back when Hallownest was still, like, alive and not yet fallen into infestation and decay? It’s crazy I’m just now realizing I basically have a PhD in Dark Souls lore but don’t have the faintest fog of a clue about the Hollow Knight lore despite it being in my Top 10, possibly Top 5 of all time. Guess I’ve got some research to do, lol

There's definitely some good videos around but it's been so long since I watched them that I couldn't tell you which ones. Anyway yeah there's a ton of lore to know and things to theorise about, it's a super dense game and so much of it is random hidden stuff.

there's some cool stuff you can sort of work out if you're familiar with parasitoid wasps and fungal infections in insects, but it doesn't have quite the same level of, like, built up archaeological implications in every single item and every snippet of terrain that Souls game do imo although it's always possible i just didn't look hard enough e: this post is a really neat exploration of lore relating to Wyrms and the Pale King, although there's a certain point where it goes from "extremely well-reasoned deductions based on minute details of insect biology" to "this character and this other thing are both the same color! they must be the same!" https://www.reddit.com/r/HollowKnight/comments/8jyn56/lore_spoilers_royalty_radiance_and_wyrms/

I found that more satisfying than some of the mossbag interpretations (https://mossbag69.blogspot.com/2020/02/the-mostly-complete-lore-of-hollow.html?m=1). It's too bad their theories don't really address the vessel or void. I wonder if there's any cool entomology for Unn too. What are they? A slug?

How are you supposed to know when there’s stuff in an area you can get after having powered up? Or are you supposed to backtrack and just hope you stumble across new stuff? Also, I heard tell of DLCs but can’t see them on Steam, are they just added automatically in updates?

Yes, you have to remember places you couldn’t get to before. The map pins are useful for this. The DLC is all free and should all be included in the main game download.
