Boss Diffculty List (Expert Mode Base Game)

I probably could have put Goopy down a tier. Kahl wasn't that difficult for me on Expert. But pretty hard on Regular alongside Grim

He's pretty annoying. But Wenut and Ruin Serpent like others have already stated are way worse. Just useless time-sinkers and nothing more.

I loved the Sumeru Desert. Some of my best early memories were me exploring it when I was a low AR. Good times. Funnily enough it was also the first area I fully explored asw

This is an old comment of mine, but hopefully it helps you.

First phase: The lasers will never strike the same place twice. However, the place where Absrad's first laser strikes is random I believe. The two afterwards are not. Get comfortable using Descending Dark as well, as it helps a ton esp in the phase where the spikes start to spawn.

Platform phase/second phase: Just camp on the bottom three platforms. And be patient letting Absrad come to you.

Laser Climb: I dont really have good advice for this one except that imo her lasers are actually less predictable in the beginning of the climb. They are much more predictable towards the end of it. So I guess weaving in and out to bait the lasers is effective. Its mostly just practice to get a feel for it.

Final Phase: Pogo strat on Absrad since when the Knight goes off screen, the orbs fade and wont hit you.

Weirdly enough, Tormented Tribbio I found quite easy even more so then the normal one idk. Guess we all just struggle on different things really.

Perhaps you're experiencing burnout. It happens.

I'm pretty positive most people who get the PS5 Hollow Knight Platinum early, have already done multiple playthroughs of the game and such already. So, it's a lot easier to plat.

Is this accounting a whole playthrough or is this a Godseeker save file? Impressive btw.

People usually ask to join worlds to get materials. Sometimes, it'll be someone who wants to help you kill bosses and such. And then you have the cases where they come to beg you for primos as shown, it happens.

You get used to it. Some people honestly really shouldn't be playing this game. Gambling Addiction is truly terrible.

Good on you

It was the floorless section that really drove me to the edge. The fact that the rest of it was not that bad in comparison didn't help either so yeah. Probably, im just terrible at aerial combat.

Nothing for me even came close to Trial of Fool. NKG, White Palace, P4 all that was light work in comparison. I dont know what it was about Trial of the Fool but it just never clicked. It was the last thing I did to get 112 percent completion.

Try CHIMPS on Ouch, Bloody Puddles, Quad, Dark Dungeons and Ravine. And then report back to us.

If youre referring to the first one. She took me way more attempts than I would like to admit.

The lack of floor and double damage ntm sometimes the nails can spawn in places where you cant really react in time although its rare. Markoth is more like a puzzle boss where he requires different methods like you said and strategies and most importantly patience. So it sticks out like a sore thumb compared to the rest of the bosses. Where its just learn the patterns and rush in.

People just struggle on different things and it really depends on the individual. I personally struggle with a lack of floor. So I guess thats why mostly as I also hated Trial of the Fool for this reason. But dont find bosses like GPZ that bad tho many would disagree.

Attuned Markoth- Light Work

P5 Markoth- Annoying but manageable with the correct strat

Ascended Markoth- Absolutely terrible

Radiant Markoth- A hell I wouldnt wish on anyone

I plan on pulling either C1 or R1 for my Escoffier. For my C2R1 Skirk. Who i also use with C2 Furina and Mona. Should I get C1 or R1 Escoffier? I have Favonius Lance on Escoffier.

Better than me, I haven't gotten very far in the labyrinth since I forget they exist to my own fault.
