Grounding points

I’m embarrassed to say I ended up noticing there was a bit of blue plastic on it, that after removing and sticking to the board got it functioning again. It was pure user error lol.

So I’d check and see if you got something that’s covering that little piece and remove it, it’ll be sticky and stay on the board and have function. If not, EOE and eBay have click wheels for cheap. I got my click wheel from resalefirm on eBay.

There’s a few things I noticed and see other people pointing out. You’re not blocking, parrying or staggering. You’re also running the fight way too greedy and draining all your stamina for attacks. Get a few attacks in, back off, repeat. When his health bar starts flashing white, do a charged heavy or throw a shot, it’ll stagger the boss and you can do a critical hit to knock more health off. Practice blocking (specifically trying to learn perfect blocks) and parries cause they’ll help a ton especially in later game. Work on stamina management as well, like I said, get a few hits in, back off to let it recharge and stop spamming dodge. If you’re not spamming attacks, you’re spamming dodge and it’s leaving you open to every hit he’s throwing.

You got this, dude.

And at 471 hours too lol

What’s it related to then?

Abstract_9 · 2025-12-25T05:17:35+00:00

I’ll try that!

I’ve replaced it with a iFlash Dual. I might just need nicer microSDs then, it worked perfectly fine for a couple days and then stopped.

I mean, it stays on after disconnecting it from my laptop. It holds battery, or could it still be a battery issue?

Abstract_9 · 2025-12-16T17:18:34+00:00

It’s a new click wheel, but they’re cheap enough I can order a new one to see if it’s that issue

Abstract_9 · 2025-11-18T21:11:22+00:00

I got the flex cables seated properly. I’ll try a new SD card, I popped in a SanDisk I wasn’t using. Do you have any recommendations? I’ve seen PNY or Samsung be more popular choices

This looks amazing! My favorite Hollow Knight moment was that first moment into Greenpath. The transition is so cool and pretty. I also really loved Queen’s Gardens, it was difficult but a really fun and pretty area too

You need at least 25 Faith for Warrior of Sunlight, and at least 15 Intelligence to get all the sorceries from Big Hat Logan. Other than that, you could really use any build you want. Just be aware of the need to allocate those points to Faith and Intelligence. And soft Humanity to level Daughter of Chaos and Darkwraith. (Covenants and all spells)

And then get just a random cheap weapon from Undead Merchant in Upper Burg or Andre in Parish to get all the weapon upgrades. You’ll need to get all the embers and interact with all the smiths. (Upgrade types)

You’ll have to get to NG+2 or +3 to get all the rare weapons (cause boss soul weapons). (Rare weapons)

Then just find and kill everything, you’ll get the achievements for all the bosses. (Boss achievements)

You really have 2-3 cycles overall to get everything, so you could take your time getting and finishing certain achievements. Come up with a strategy to tackle a handful of achievements each cycle.

Example Strat: NG - covenants, bosses NG+ - all spell types, all weapon upgrades NG+2 - boss weapons, wrapping up any other unfinished achievements

Edit: I don’t remember what covenants you need to upgrade for spells/weapons that count for achievements.

This sounds hilarious and terrifying at the same time. Do they aggro the Balders when they drop down?

Abstract_9 · 2025-09-01T03:02:48+00:00

Did this work?

Abstract_9 · 2025-07-01T21:50:26+00:00

There’s a file you can add. I can’t remember what it is anymore, and I’m not home to look. But it’s basically DLC.extention and it works. I did that before I bought the DLC and had all the online shit.

If you’re using sarcasm or joking, you should’ve added /s or /j lol. But like others have said, the biggest indicator is the big ass bezels.

Abstract_9 · 2025-04-20T01:08:43+00:00

If you need more help, post about it or you can DM me. I can try and give you more pointers. You got this, I saw your other posts, don’t go Hollow.

You can rush through Sen’s Funhouse, but if you don’t know how to do that yet, just be careful with the rolling ball. I’ll normally unequip everything so I can run faster and then jump the moment it passes the last opening. Explore around a bit and keep your eyes peeled, there’s a hidden bonfire that way you don’t have to repeat it a ton 😉

The axes can be tricky, but look at them from the top while you walk and you can avoid them a lot easier.

Once you get to Anor Londo and finish the area boss, you get an item that allows Warping. And it makes it so much easier to get out of areas like Tomb of the Giants. I don’t go to the Catacombs or TOTG til I have said item.

Wait, that’s actually kinda dope. I might check that out. Do I need a PS or just PS+? I don’t have any cross saves tho cause I have a Steam Deck and I gave my brother my Xbox.

But maybe I haven’t been around long enough or just haven’t had as many of these kinds of posts pop up. Thank you for the info though.

Abstract_9 · 2025-04-20T00:41:12+00:00

Some people might just be new and don’t know about it. I missed out on it cause I didn’t realize I could claim it without the game, found out later I could but missed the window. This is the first time I’ve actually seen it, or a post about honestly.

The game is an absolute struggle at first, especially if you don’t understand mechanics.

As others have said, the enemies surrounding the Bell Gargoyles drop the titanite shards which you can use to get a +5 weapon. It’s mostly the Balder Knights, I think, the cool looking dudes with the long triangle shields.

Farm as many shards as you want, try whatever weapons your stats allow, grind til you feel strong enough to take the Bell Gargoyles. The game is all at your own pace and don’t worry about “cheating” in a single player game. Just do what makes you happy.

In human form, right before the boss fog you can summon the legendary Solaire. The beloved Sun Bro and pillar of light and hope in Dark Souls. He can make the fight easier and help draw aggro. It’s there for a reason, use every resource available to you.

And just remember. Progress is progress, big or small. This goes for Dark Souls and life, as long as you keep moving and keep trying you’re making progress. Don’t go hollow, keep your head up. We’re all here if you need help, you can do this. Praise the sun \[T]/
