The newest Zelda video showcases a unique feature we hadn't seen before: the Hall of Fallen Foes which really brings Hollow Knight's Pantheon to mind. It even has a timer! Do you think they'll add a boss rush mode as well?

curious what you guys think. Sort of prefer this game compared to silksong

I have perfect pitch so I'll give you the main melody if you want (not in A B C D system I'm in Do Re Mi Fa system)

I must found it in my first hk play through and everything feels like it is made to annoy you.

The bench is in the very far corner

Enemies attack you immediately in a new room

Sometimes you have to deal with like 10 bees and guardians and once

The Hive Knight is also hard in a really annoying way

And tell them to git gud

One thing that's not really acknowledged in the original HK is how well the spells compliment each other. Vengeful Spirit provides range and is simple to use, Desolate Dive provides protection and Howling Wraiths are tough to use but have the highest damage. They are not perfect. Dive could have less i-frames, and I feel like Focus is outclassed by the end of the game, but I think they are awesome.

I am not so pleased with Silk Skills. I have no problem with having to pick one, but their balance seems dubious to me.

Sharpdart is just better Silk Spear. It has roughly the same damage but has i-frames, which is huge utility. Thread Storm is better than both of them, honestly. The scariest moments in this game is when you are surrounded and that is when Thread Storm shines. Hornet is fast enough that she can get into position comfortably and it knocks opponents and physical projectiles away, so it is honestly not that unsafe. Pale Nails is an odd choice for the last Silk Skill. At this point in the game, you probably do not care that much about auto-aim. Maybe that's just me.

And Rune Rage. It is so bad. The idea for a Silk Skill that deals tons of damage at the cost of being unreliable is good, but Team Cherry did not bother. You cannot convince TC did not realize this thing was this awful.

What do you think?

Edit: Thread Storm is probably not that much better than Sharpdart. They compare quite well but I do think Thread Storm is straight up better than Silk Spear.

Why do you think that no bug in the HK universe wears shoes despite some of them wearing clothes? My theory is that, since most of them have spindly, pointed limbs, it's hard to design shoes adapted for it. Or maybe they don't consider it necessary at all, since their exoskeleton already protects their "feet" from both harsh soils and moderate temperature changes

i’m a little too obsessed with these games

I was doing p5 all bindings when I finally reached markouth which is the farthest point I have reached until now and I almost first tried him until I died to his second phase (would have won if I had some life blood lost it all to soul tyrant I know skill issue) I mean I doubt I would have beated gpz but whatever tbh iam surprised did so well considering how everyone describes him I guess not depending on soul in my radiant run helped me any way do any of you have any tips for gpz and maybe markouth (tho I doubt I will need them considering how well I did against him)

I have all upgrades possible for my character. This clown is kickin my ass. So far the best success I have had is stacking lifeblood gems and heart charm. Been goin at this guy for a minute. I’m starting to realize this is a minimum error type of fight it seems. I either last 5 seconds or 2 minutes. Is best option just going nail dps and perfecting this fight?

Hey everyone! I've been developing HKMultiplayer, a multiplayer mod that aims to bring a co-op experience to Hollow Knight, and I'd like to share it with the community!

I used AI as a development tool to help with parts of the coding process, debugging, and development workflow. I worked on the project to bring the features together into a playable multiplayer experience, and I'm sharing it to get feedback, find bugs, and keep improving it.

📦 Installation

The mod supports both automatic and manual installation.

• Automatic installation: Use the included installer for a simpler setup, updates, and uninstallation.
• Manual installation: If you don't trust the installer or prefer not to run it because Windows displays a security warning, you can install the mod manually by following the instructions in the GitHub repository.

Windows may flag the installer because it is not widely recognized or signed. However, this warning alone does not prove that a file is safe or malicious. If you have concerns, you can inspect the source code and choose the manual installation method instead.

🌎 Language Support

The mod supports both English and Spanish, making it accessible to more players in the Hollow Knight community.

Development Status

The project is currently in beta. I've tested it using multiple game instances, including playthrough testing with up to four players simulated on one PC. Testing with separate PCs and real-world online sessions is still needed, so bugs and compatibility issues may occur.

I'm sharing the project to get feedback, find bugs, and continue improving the multiplayer experience.

If you're interested, check out the repository! Bug reports, suggestions, and contributions are welcome.

I 100%ed silksong in steel soul mode. Then went for 112% by collecting all mementos. Now what?

I’ve been running in circles for the last 10 minutes and I can hear the music that signals that it’s near??? But it’s just not??????? I’ve heard that they always spawn in the same spot in any given room, so can someone just screenshot where that is so I can get the hell out of here? Thanks

Basically I’m in a 10 hour steel soul that’s probably more than 90%, then I’m trying to do the delicate flower quest and died at the final thorn. So I throw on Grubsong and deep focus, then started practicing that small final terrain. Then I didn’t really focus on my life and died on my steel soul……..

Been seeing these go around and think they're good fun! Rankings purely off how much fun I had with each boss, including on Godhome HoG/Pantheon replays.

Also I really suck at the Oblobbles fight for absolutely no reason 😭🤣

Honestly grubberfly made the fight really fun

Finally 112%'d my first run, i took my time exploring and finding stuff (sometimes using the HK wiki), now that i finally got the 112%, i wonder if almost 58h is good.

I challenge anyone to do this jump and prove to me its possible.
located where P5 is. every ability allowed (exept Cdash.. ofc). NO GLITCHES* and NO CHARMS.

i have tried for a while and never succeded

So I’ve gotten the lantern so I can explore the dark areas of the map and I’ve fallen down a few drops with no actual way to get out. I don’t have a wall jump or any sort of flying ability, only have the dash and the lantern and no way to actually get back up. All the ways I can go are passage ways that go straight up. I found a bench and I think I made a mistake because I sat on it. Can I get out or is this run over and I’m stuck forever?

I just beat P5, did the mister mushroom thing, and got pure completion. The only thing I’ve got left to do to platinum is the hunters journal stuff. My question is, can I get everything post game? Like is there a way to get the beginning of the game bugs even after beating it? Or do o need to do an entire new run just for the damn journal?

Needed an excuse for not posting her initial visualiser in my first post!

Again, she’s a tall cyan fox lady. In my HK head canon, she’s a ranged hunter who’s as swift as Hornet, but about 2x taller than her or so and struggles to get into some places!

I plan to depict those traffic lights vessels escaping the Void to kick start their own line of journey fan arts! (Maybe will even depict boss fights!)
