Yeeah that was my solution too, except it was “respawn everything in the room and turn it into a clusterfuck of enemies to vault off of” and also nearly die from that

White Palace was fun, though I'm unsure if I'll be able to beat Nightmare King Grimm or Soul Tyrant. Dream bosses do not gently caress around.

Of course I understand that different things are difficult for different people, but I personally believe the second boss you mentioned is the easiest of the dream bosses. Keep at it! Particularly if you've defeated the others, you should get it eventually.

I'm a little bummed that I didn't realize that going the banishment route for the Grimm Troupe means you don't get to do the Nightmare King fight. I guess in hindsight I should've figured it might not be a good idea but I didn't expect a dlc to completely lock you out of one of the marquee boss fights.

You can also be locked out of equally "big deal" boss fight Dream Zote. Make sure you don't let him die.

No corpse run, no broken charms, just a straight up challenge that you can try as much as you'd like. I still remember fondly my first fight with the champ

Also for what its worth I think the game strikes a good balance between happy, sad and bittersweet endings to npc quests. Some of the endings can be a bit gloomy but there's enough hope sprinkled in there with characters like Quirrel, the Stag, Cornifer and his wife, and the Nailsmith/Nailmasters(if you aren't a monster) to make it feel like you are still doing some net good in this world and that maybe it's not beyond saving.

I've been playing this every spare minute I get on Switch since it came out and I'm loving it. It's been so long since I've had my controller dripping wet with sweat (I still can't do the dashing thorn bit of Greenway Also I love every single bug I've met so far. Their voices are brilliant

I'm like probably 1/3rd of the way into the game and really liking it, and not sure if I should also get the switch version? I have the PC version and it's great. I can play with a gamepad on the couch. I just, IDK. Is the switch version super good?

so I stumbled into a new zone and I don't have a map, I died, and I'm way turned around. Is the best thing to just keep wandering around until I find map guy?

I understand not everyone enjoys though, and it does mean some backtracking Generally you'll find him near the entrance of an area - look for papers on the ground and the sound of humming.

Your Computer posted:I've said this a few times already in regards to Hollow Knight, but it feels like the developers expect you to explore radially rather than linearly. In other words, from where you begin try to explore outwards instead of just picking a direction and running. The map guy isn't really hidden, but if you just walk in a direction until you hit a wall, you might never run into him. One exception is the waterways, where he's all the way to the left, and Fog Canyon, which is a fairly straightforward area but he's specifically in a spot you won't be able to reach for most of the game.

Also in Deepnest he's very early on but he's scared hiding so you can't track him from his humming.

Thanks for mentioning this, most of the obstacle/upgrade paths seem obvious (wall jump for tall holes, airdash for gaps, ground pound for suspicious floors etc) but I hadn't the foggiest loving idea how to deal with the column of swirling liquid void nothingness.

I thought that area was an endgame zone and put it off as long as possible, getting just about every other upgrade possible before finally going through the front door.  Made Soul Master totally trivial, at least.

Something that took me a while to realize is that you can do the dive while standing on the ground (the knight hops up a short way and immediately slams back down) and that it has a huge number of invincibility frames. You're invulnerable for all but the very start of dive and for a long time after the impact. It also does a lot of damage, descending dark wrecks enemies.

Unless I'm mistaken, the i-frames have actually been nerfed from release. Still broken tho.

With all the multiple ending talk, is this the type of thing I'm gonna miss parts of the game by stumbling on? Or is it pretty clear cut an ending is coming/can I go back and redo stuff. Planning On doing as much as I can in this game.

There is a very obvious gateway to the ending that you can turn back from, and even if you do go through and beat the final boss you can go back to your save and it'll put you back at the threshold right before the fight. The only thing you can miss this way is one minor variation of the ending sequence if you unlock the final final boss before ever fighting the regular final boss.
