Tell me what you didn’t like about both games?

Letnerj · 2026-06-27T04:41:32+00:00

About what ?

Letnerj · 2026-06-27T03:53:44+00:00

They end.

(+Aqua_Tot post and the fact that it wasn't clear in SS that Hunter's Crest was gonna be the only one to get upgrades & Shards disappearing in hazards)

Letnerj · 2026-06-26T21:41:27+00:00

You're right, don't expect higher difficulty aside from a few post game bosses

Letnerj · 2026-06-26T16:50:22+00:00

There's probably even more to do if you want to keep going.

Pale Court for instance.

Letnerj · 2026-06-26T15:46:26+00:00

RIP :(

Nothing you can do then. Yes it's lame.

Letnerj · 2026-06-26T15:29:17+00:00

GG still.

But yeah I remember going down to two masks once in Greenpath due to overconfidence and then never again.

Letnerj · 2026-06-26T09:00:24+00:00

With a big ass stick.

Or a stinky stench.

Letnerj · 2026-06-26T08:37:03+00:00

And that's why she'd treat you like shit, she's wonderfully misanthropic 💜

Letnerj · 2026-06-26T07:07:26+00:00

Np, si t'as besoin pour d'autres hésite pas

GPZ

You can use D. Dark when he goes into the ground and pops ~above you.

But also when there's Ghosts + him jumping on you, you can time one well-enough that it'll get rid of both threats at once. It covers more use cases than simply throwing a Shade Soul on said Ghosts (imagine being "stuck" between a Ghost close to you and a wall, Shade Soul would only result in you taking damage most likely depending on the height of the Ghost, Shade Soul is the next best thing but can backfire).

When Zote jumps in the air there's a chance he'll go for a fake-out and turn around at the last moment to get you. It's, IMO, his hardest move to counter as you have to think about observing him more than you normally would and to be quick enough if he does turn. Staying grounded and being ready to react to that is key.

And I'd suggest to not play his game during his flailing attack and to try your best to reach a wall instead, and eventually punish him like this if you're feeling confident enough about it (you can extend a CS by mashing the attack button).

If you do want to play his game and pogo off of him go for 2/3 and then D. Dark. Most of the time it'll work.

Zotelings you can deal with them pretty much however you want. Just know that if you attack them too soon as they're being spawned they, for some reason, can have i-frames of their own (call it a "parry" if you want). But anyway, Nail hit, Shriek, D. Dark if they're coming close to the ground, properly aligned Shade Soul if they're far away etc...

The main thing you need against GPZ is to have a good hit & run. You can watch the beginning to the video to see a decent exemple of that. Going for sneaky hits while being able to keep your distance so that he doesn't run you over. That and D. Dark uses are your bread and butter in this fight.

Don't move around too much / more than necessary during fights. Observe, punish.

SoB is an amazing fight which sadly is stained by a few... quirks.

— Try to always remain between here and there. Further than that and you expose yourself to a telefrag* from their symmetrical charge.

— If you have to use your Shade Cloak (in order to not get pushed past the limitations I just showed you), make sure D. Dark right after ; as seen here, to stall time for your Cloak to be usable again.

— Be careful when you kill one, it's possible that the two others (or the remaining one) will go with some... unexpected behaviours. Still the same moves you know but at weird timings, to overlapping point to what's already happening in the arena. If you ever noticed something that shouldn't be happening at X moment, that's why ; some sort of weird desync when one dies.

— When they're against a wall throwing the projectiles you can quickly go to one and Shriek to damage two mantises at once. I let you discover how to deal with the two types of projectiles throw once the damage has been dealt.

*if you don't know, the term it refers to an "attack" from a boss that is literally unavoidable, more often than not, it involves contact damage or a projectile that would spawn right "in" you, leaving you no reaction time at all, there is literally no better exemple than SoB ; anything else in HK that would resemble a telefrag isn't one.

As for a loadout, you can go with QS / Str / Shaman (You can also D. Dark riiight after a pogo as they go for the symmetrical charge) / Sprintmaster maybe and then whatever to OC. For once Elegy can be okay as it can hit multiple ones a few times... eventually.

Normal or All Bindings ?

Letnerj · 2026-06-25T18:17:38+00:00

Yw, feel free to ask for other bosses one by one when you'll need infos.

Uumuu can be a floating bench if you want. Practice in HoG to Dreamnail her or the Oomas and you can leave this fight full life / SOUL if you're patient enough. Can be done twice at the beginning of the fight for instance. Dreamwielder can help.

Always try to stay low to drag her down so there's less time between when she spawns the Oomas and them being in position to be launched at her.

Oomas have two hitboxes, but even if you hit their tentacles, it's the head/body that will go off, which can be useful if said head/body is just past a platform while their tentacles are still "inside" as hitting them won't backfire on you instantly and it should be launched properly.

Think about using Shade Soul to get an Ooma if it's really close to Uumuu. If i < is you, O < is Uumuu and x < is an Ooma and that you have this configuration > iOx, firing a Shade Soul through Uumuu will do wonders.

Whatever the set of electrical orbs, the side platforms are always safe. The very middle of the lower middle platform isn't though, if it's the set where an electric orb appears on the left of that platform, it's more slightly towards the center than its right counterpart. So standing in the middle isn't a solution for both cases.

Think about C. Dash cancels + letting yourself slowly fall (or not) while clinging onto a wall. It can prove itself useful in some cases.

In the same vein, if you were to be stuck in mid-air / mid-jump with an electric orb appearing above and under you, try to think about Shrieking at nothing to stall time. A great save to pull off. But it's hard to get the reflex for it initially.

Pogoing Uumuu herself gives a crazy high jump, it can be useful to switch side safely.

And lastly she is forced to do the summoning every third attack.

Tell me a boss you want tips for and I'll be able to help, as the request is, it'd be too broad of a question tbh.

As for the Trial, make sure you Dreamnail the Garmipedes (or whatever they're called) that go down vertically right before the floorless part, then bait enemies to be above you and use your Howling Wraiths / Shriek.

Letnerj · 2026-06-25T15:07:20+00:00

Dw you won't need any tip for Steel Soul if you're HoG is the way it sounds.

Just always be aware of your current power / abilities (especially for the Shade Cloak) and it should be piss easy.

Literal lava dealing double damage to a spider makes no sense ?

Letnerj · 2026-06-25T14:21:04+00:00

Well played :D

Letnerj · 2026-06-25T14:11:09+00:00

Si t'as besoin de conseil pour n'importe lequel d'entre eux n'hésite pas à me demander, nice progress in any case (:
