Topic: Hollow Knight is out!

@Trisque i have and got that upgrade. I actually went back to the coloseum of fools to level up my nail but got just as stuck on that too 😅. Will get back to it as I've really enjoyed it but there have been a couple of times I've hit a wall and needed a break. How are you getting on? Have you tried out any dlc stuff yet?

@R1spam I'm actually almost done! I just have the final boss and the end of the dlc to do (plus this mushroom guy that I need to talk to). I've enjoyed this game much more than I thought I would!

@Trisque There are quite a few endings you can get and play around with. The Nightmare Troupe bosses are tough but fair!

Did you manage to deliver the flower across the map? That took me a LOT of goes!

@Thrillho haha I took one look at that quest and just said no. I have all the other mask shards, but I refuse to go through all that.
I actually got the Sealed Siblings ending, but now I want to get the "true" ending, so just wrapping up a few things before I try that.

Edit: Whoops! Thanks for the notice about my spoiler tags @Thrillho

@Trisque You messed up your spoiler tags there..

The flower quest isn’t too bad until you get to the flying mantis enemies in the queen’s garden. I think at least once I got all the way through and then messed up the platforming at the very end.

I think I saw most endings other than the one for completing all the pantheons as that was a step too far for me.

@Trisque cheers for the tip again, finally got through the watcher knights!

@R1spam congratulations! To be honest, that really was the hardest boss for me in the game. Even the dlc boss Troupe Master Grimm was easier for me. Glad I could help!

@R1spam @Trisque Honestly, I only had a little bit of trouble with the Watcher Knights but it was the final boss of the Grimm Troupe that I deemed my limit. Perhaps I’ll try again at some point 😂

@Trisque Just you wait

@Thrillho haha I do know about Nightmare King Grimm and the Radiance and they are both mildly worrisome. You know you're in trouble when the boss has a full-screen title card!

@Trisque I didn't find Radiance too bad to be honest. The other one you mentioned certainly took me a fair while to get through however!

One of the hardest ones for me (especially in the pantheons) was Grey Prince Zote as his attacks were so much more random and harder to judge.

God, I hated the pantheons

@Thrillho but Gray Prince Zote has the funniest attacks ever! Once I watched someone fight him, I couldn't stop laughing. His title is even better than the full-screen title cards I mentioned above.
Zote is made out to be an annoying character, but I can't not like his attitude. I highly enjoyed the "57 Precepts of Zote."

@Trisque I really enjoyed his arc through the game and it was things like that which made the game stand out for me.

His attack pattern was frustrating though as it was so much harder to judge than many others. In the pantheon it meant I often got beaten or lost significant health to him.

I can't remember which pantheon it was that I finally gave up on but I would not be surprised if it was the one with him in.
