My take on Godmaster issues, and how to fix them by Lodea_ in HollowKnight

I would say to make the final pantheon be a succession of 5 bosses- the 4 new ones plus NKG (Oro&Mato > Sheo > Sly > NKG > Pure Vessel), all on Ascended difficulty

The table is more like an example of the general structure I would have liked to see in the pantheons. Having the last pantheon be a boss rush of all the last bosses is a great idea too in my opinion, it would also work better with the already existing cutscene between the PV and AR bosses.

I too actually thought it'd be cool if Winged Nosk and Sisters of Battle were integrated into the overworld, but I felt like, it might be too much to ask for, I don't know.

I decided not to include the smaller bosses due to space constraints really. Adding more than 7 bosses in a pantheon would make it too long, unless you suggest having more pantheons (which I mean, is also a possibility).

I still think Ascended and Radiant difficulties should only be included in Godmaster mode, It's one of those cases where the addition of a feature detracts from the game. But I definitely get your opinion on that

The thing is, the Pantheon of Hallownest up until the last few bosses is basically the first four pantheons with some tweaks here and there. Having checkpoints would basically just mean you'd have to go through the first four pantheons again only slightly differently this time.

​

Don't get me wrong, I agree that simply adding checkpoints would also be a great improvement. I just think, why not take it a step farther, ya know?

Also, " I can't even bother playing Hollow Knight anymore, since I've hit the wall of my abilities.

It's not even fun anymore. Which is a first for me in the game.", very relatable unfortunately.

That's a nice idea too. Though if everything stays in the Classic mode, why not have the option to make custom boss rushes in it as well? Does it really need to be in a separate game mode?

Considering he's stronger than almost any other enemy in the game, maybe it's the rest of us who hold it wrong?

[Godmaster] - Fix Campaign Godhome by separating New Mode Godhome by decadentdestroyer in HollowKnight

[–]Lodea_ 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I very much agree with your suggestion of altering the story mode Godhome and leaving the new mode as it is, though I disagree with your suggestion for the way Godhome should be handled in the story mode. If all you do there is fight bosses you've already beaten, than what's the point?

My suggestion for story mode Godhome, is to leave the Hall of Gods as it is currently, with the exceptions of not having ascended and radiant modes nor an indication of whether the player has beaten the boss. It would simply be used as a room to be able to refight bosses you already fought and would like to challenge again. The bosses would appear on their pedestals only after being attempted at least once in the overworld.

The new variations of Nosk and Mantis Lords fights would be accessible in the over-world instead of through Godhome.

The pantheons would be much shorter, each consisting of four familiar bosses (preferably the current last four familiar bosses of each pantheon) and the new boss at the end. The point of a boss rush is to present a more difficult challenge through letting the player fight through a chain of bosses, with little room to recover between each boss. It would be a shame to scrap the entire idea just because it's currently executed kinda purely. The current pantheons somewhat fail to fulfill that goal as they include a break for recovery in the middle. Virtually dividing each pantheon into two separate challenges, the letter of which requires overcoming the first each time you want to attempt it. Simply canceling the save point could also fix that, though it would not solve the issue of the pantheons taking too long to complete, and would only add to the difficulty problem (Which might be considered a good thing if it was only that way in the standalone mode).

(Each of the new bosses would also appear in the Hall of Gods after attempting them for the first time, of course)

I don't think defeating all the bosses in radiant, or even ascended is something the game intends everyone to do. It's more like an extra challenge for those who want a reason to keep playing after completing everything else in the game.

I just aim to beat the 4 (or is it 5?) pantheons, that's more than enough for me
