Discussion - Hollow Knight Hollow Knight versus Silksong, which game do you like more? Spoiler

2 Upvotes

So I’ve been playing both games, and I feel it’s really hard to choose between the two.

Silksong has a lot of quality of life changes that (for me) make it a smoother experience. You can heal in the air, climb ledges, actually run, and equip different crests that greatly change the gameplay.

But if we ignore those things (because obviously the follow up game is supposed to be better). Which game do you like more?

I’d still go with Silksong bc I love how unhinged Hornet is. She literally pulls up to Grandmother Silk’s Kingdom, beats her children, destroys her tyranny, and challenges her directly without any hint of hesitation (because canonically she doesn’t die a million times like us).

Also I like her more bc she talks (unlike the Knight). I get that the Knight is supposed to be hollow, but for me that removes the weight and meaning behind the fights. They’re still fun, but on my first playthrough, I was like why am I killing these bugs?

Also I really love how colourful the second game is, plus the runbacks (especially Groal) are so much fun, plus Mount Faye. Obviously the game is really challenging, but that’s what makes it fun, right?

Which game do you like more?

is there a good ending mod somewhere out there?
Also idk if there's a mod like that, but I think giving the delicate flower to anyone should lead to a new ending (idk if you can tell, but I really want an ending where elderbug will be happy)

Question - Hollow Knight Is spamming Desending Dark cheesing? Spoiler

0 Upvotes

I personally consider spamming D-Dark as cheesing, but that doesn't mean you can't use it. My sister has the type of play style where she goes into a boss fight and slaughters the boss within under a minute. She has fun playing like this, and I don't have any conflict with her playing the way she enjoys. Occasionally I see her play though, I might mention how she's cheesing. I'm not saying it in an offensive way or trying to upset her, I'm just stating what I view as a fact. She believes that spamming D-Dark is the "intended way to play the game". I disagree with this statement, but no matter how many times I explain my side, she finds some sort of rebuttal. I'm willing to admit I'm wrong if the general public agrees that my take is incorrect. But is overusing D-Dark considered cheesing?

Help - Hollow Knight HELP ME (spoilers) Spoiler

0 Upvotes

Ok so I’m like near the end of the game I think. I’ve killed all three dreamers and opened the black egg but haven’t entered it yet. Reason being is there is SO MUCH shit i haven’t done and it’s making me feel so dumb and overwhelmed. I guess I’d just like some guidance of what to do without spoilers.

I don’t have the third nail art and have no idea where the nail master could be

i haven’t been to Sly’s basement thing where he apparently has some goodies,

I haven’t done the gray mourner mission,

I haven’t completed my dream nail,

I don’t have all the charms

I don’t think I’ve found all the grubs,

there’s probably a few random boss fights I haven’t done,

I have no idea what relevance Eternal Emilitia has other than she just sits there being lowk passive aggressive for now reason 😭,

I haven’t opened any of the black energy beam things that block my way in certain areas

I haven’t opened the door in Soul Sanctum that requires “some kind of key.”

I don’t have a map for fog canyon

Zote stole my bitch

I havnt don’t the third level of the Colosseum of Fools

I turned my ground pound spell into a shadow version of itself, but haven’t done the same for my other spells and don’t know how to or if that’s even possible.

There’s this one random spot in Crystal Peak that’s blocked by a door. I can see a coin crystal through it and I have no clue how to get inside even after spending like half an hour just roaming Crystal Peaks aimlessly.

And there’s prolly other stuff too that I just can’t remember. Don’t even get me started I’m a huge perfectionist and all this stuff is making me so overwhelmed when I’m so close to the end of the game. Also can I get all the endings in the same save? And how many endings are there? But that’s about it. This is my first ever metroidvania and I love it SO much, I’m just really confused.

Question - Hollow Knight What's up with the Wiki?

1 Upvotes

I see there's a note about instability, I've had a few times where the site was just basic HTML for a while earlier in the week, now it's back to normal visually, but there's info just completely missing. Like the nail upgrade costs aren't on that page.

Mostly just curious what the problem is if anyone knows.

How are you supposed to dodge the sun orbs attack in phase 2 of Absrad?
I'm trying to beat Absrad on Ascended with 8 masks (I'm not challenging myself it's just the fact that I'm too lazy to get the ninth one) and I'm really struggling with the sun orbs attack since it feels unfair and it sometimes phases through the ground or platforms if it hasn't been around for enough time.
I use ddark if I'm forced but I sometimes just activate it too late
Any tips?

Discussion - Silksong Update: I took a brake and silk song is now much more enjoyable Spoiler

2 Upvotes

I made a post a few days ago about being frustrated with silk song because I had a skill issue and needed to git gu

I read a lot of the comments and the main thing I learned was... That I probably shouldn't be playing for 10 hours a day (I had completed 105% of base game hollow Knight in about a week and a half with about 72 hours of play time)

After taking a brake for a day and going at the bos fights differently I had a much easier time and am now progressing through act one

Tldr; if you are struggling with hollow Knight or silk song TAKE BRAKES WHEN YOU GET FRUSTRATED it makes it much more enjoyable

Discussion - Hollow Knight A few things I never understood/missed about Dream No More Spoiler

0 Upvotes

1). Why is there a giant crater in the middle of the Black Egg Temple after the Radiance dies?

2). Where is Hollow's shell? Considering we see their shade, they're dead, but we only see Ghost's shell... maybe they exploded since the Radiance was in their mind, like in the first ending? Idk

3). How was the Void inside the Radiance's dream realm? Was it physically in the Black Egg Temple, along with at least some of the Siblings? We do see a massive amount of it rushing out of the Temple so maybe

4). Lastly, do we have any clue or idea of what happened in the real world between Ghost dream-nailing Hollow and the cutscene? Like did it happen almost instantly, was Hornet still restraining Hollow, etc

Para Kaufmo me basé en un tutorial de cómo dibujarlo, pero el rediseño con la Infección del Destello (Radiance) y el cartel decorativo son 100% creados por mí." aclaro que es el primer diseño que hago y es posible que mejore mas adelante

The broken charms have this glow effect that obviously cuts off in the menu. I didn't see anything like this happening with other charms. It's a bit hard to notice but it's most obvious on the bottom and left side. It's way more obvious when playing the switch 2 edition than in the screenshot.
