I interpreted "dash" to mean Crystal Heart but maybe you mean Mothwing Cloak. If that's the case then yes, keep looking in Crystal Peak.

One Hundred Monkeys posted:HK is a non-linear game, so there are plenty of ways you could go right now. here are some things you can do if you haven't already: 1) I will check this out. 2) Did that, Shoulda said so.  3)I don't know why I didn't realize I could now go do that!!! 4) I bought and used a simple key to the right of Dirtmouth. I assume I can get another key somewhere? 5)I fought Mantises and got the claw to walljump. Are the Mantis Lords something else? Thanks! )

Mantis Lords are a boss. You’ll know when you run into them. Keep poking around Mantis village with wall jump and see if you can find any more switches to flip.

Feenix posted:1) I will check this out. I assumed you hadn't jumped into the grave since you didn't mention having access to the right side of city of tears, but I see you posted later that you just hadn't taken the lift down yet. There are enough simple keys to open every lock in the game that requires one. You should be able to find one in the city of tears The mantis lords hang out at the bottom of the mantis village. The first time you visit, the drop down to them is covered by a giant hatch. There's a lever in the upper village that opens the hatch - it's not super clear that's what the lever's for, so you might have opened the path without realising.

I bought a Switch a few months ago, and I truly love it. I didn’t realize until last week when I bought this game that Hollow Knight is the reason I bought a Switch. This game is so great, everything about it. Setting, graphics, soundtrack, frustration/satisfaction of overcoming the frustration. It’s a perfect game for me.

BIG BUFF MAN posted:I beat White Palace but I still have no idea what the plot of this game is supposed to be Rough outline of the plot, spoiler for the final boss and good ending: There was a god who was in charge of this place. The king came and the god hosed off. The god came back so the king made a HOLLOW KNIGHT that would imprison the god inside of it. LATER: The god is starting to get out. You, Hollow Knight 2.0 come and start adventuring. Bad ending: you take over as living prison for the god. good ending: you kill the god.

Aside from the mostly obvious lore that you infer, the moth has like half the lore explaining the bad guy if you get 2200 essence (with bits and pieces as you get to it) and Bardoon the big long guy in Kingdom's Edge has the other half of it. Everything else is mostly inferred or spread across the NPCs.

I don’t think we are taking about the same thing. I’m not sure how that would even work since it triggers the second you release the button.

A lot of the map unlocks once you get those three but you don't have even half of the movement abilities and spells, especially if you count upgrades to those moves.

About 10 hours in, I just found the ability that lets you read people's minds, among other things. Also, the one that lets you just fly straight ahead. As far as video games go, this one is pretty neat.

Buy the compass charm from the starting town once you’re able to and equip it by sitting on a bench and pressing “-“. Buy the charm that auto collects geo as early as possible. Try to buy the lantern early as well, but that can wait until your 4 hours or more into the game.

When you get an item that has something to do with dreams, use it on everything that seems vaguely interesting, just in case. Even things you probably think wouldn't have an effect. You might be surprised!

Picked this up on Switch last week. Been taking my time and felt it to be kind of meh. I was aware of "the hump" that everyone describes for the first 2-3 hours. I just stumbled upon False Knight, took him down, got the shout from the Shaman bug, and am now rolling around the swamp/forest hoping to find beetle bus-stop. This game rules. I get the same sense of eerie dread as I got out of Limbo. The environments and sound design are so ace.

It really can't be stressed enough that you get the most out of this game by just loving off wherever and seeing what happens. There's no "wrong" way to go about it. It's infuriating to watch me play most games because I dig into every single corner and pick up every object I can. In Hollow Knight, that behavior is tremendously helpful. Also: pogo slash is the most useful attack in the game.
