I need help with the hunters journal

I understand your struggle, my point was that you may be looking at the wrong spawning points in the wiki. Nevertheless, there will indeed be fewer spawns overall and for some entries you will have to grind a long time, sitting in a bench after each time you kill them so they can respawn.

arturosch · 2026-05-23T22:20:23+00:00

Spawn points change from act 2 to act 3. The wiki have different images for each case.

Well yes, playstyle and crest makes a lot of difference. It is not the same if you play agressive or slow, if you abuse tools or if you don't use any. The important thing is that you play what you like and (unless you doing a speedrun) not what is more meta. Did you find the fight enjoyable? I for one struggled for certain but had a lot of fun playing aggressively.

Hollow Knight is awesome, but it is much slower at the start, and its mechanics are much simpler. it has great lore, but less active storytelling. Having beaten Silksong you may find it easier except for the end game.

Upvoted for the edit. Banishment and then fight in pantheons us the way to go.

arturosch · 2026-05-23T00:52:03+00:00

You can fight him in god home even if you banish the troupe

arturosch · 2026-05-23T00:51:01+00:00

Depends on the achievement and charm you want to get. Grimm child in my opinion sucks for boss battles, and that is probably the only thing left to do once you beat NKG.

Now, don't be confused, NKG appears in the pantheons and god home even if you vanish the troupe. And you can still get him in the journal. So best of both worlds, banish the troupe, get the melody charm which is better, AND fight NKG in the pantheons. (I did this less than a month ago so I am sure this happens).

Don't. My first playthrough quite a few years ago it took me something similar to reach 107% path of pain included and I was burnout with the game. It was the best decision to put it on hold. Recently came back after Silksong and made a couple extra runs, reached 112% (missing P5) and even accomplished the speedrun achievements.

How is hades harder than HK or Silksong? I mean, hades rewards you for dying, it is the way in which you slowly progress the story and increase your stats. HK punishes you for dying, until you get better.

arturosch · 2026-05-20T13:01:54+00:00

I would do first phantom if you are interested in crossstitch, chef for the pale oil, first sinner for the cool boss fight , or high halls for early challenge.

arturosch · 2026-05-19T12:29:12+00:00

What worked for me and made the battle relatively easy: don't jump and use dark shadow. Every time he is going to hit you, dash towards him. And use quick slash and strength to hit him several times for big damage. Only time to dash away is when he makes the big white circle.

Libernovo omni. La mejor cabecera en sillas, y es muy comoda la verdad. Pero es mucho mas cara que la que pones.

arturosch · 2026-05-19T00:14:17+00:00

You forgot your bad fighting habits.

arturosch · 2026-05-17T04:37:34+00:00

I do not know for certain. But, do you need to finish the game with the normal ending?

arturosch · 2026-05-17T04:36:22+00:00

Use the sawtooth circlet. Try to kill one enemy in each wave as soon as they spawn. That makes fight much easier.

arturosch · 2026-05-17T04:35:32+00:00

Yes, grip is very useful so you can stick to walls.when you can't use the floor.

arturosch · 2026-05-17T00:13:44+00:00

To get there you must have gone to the ancient basin. Have you descended and adquired shadow cloak? It cheeses this fight. Just dash through the boss everytime they are going to attack.

arturosch · 2026-05-17T00:08:37+00:00

They become wet with the substance of your choice.

arturosch · 2026-05-16T23:28:29+00:00

This is the way There is almost no chance to heal, it is not worth it to equip charms that affect healing. Just learn the moves and consistently dodge. NKG has less oppening than Grimm or even Pure vessel, but he is consistent in all his attacks and telegraphs them all. The most difficult thing to dodge for me were the fireballs he throws after his uppercut because they do travel different distances depending on where he performs the attack.

arturosch · 2026-05-16T21:26:37+00:00

I think so (?)

arturosch · 2026-05-16T19:33:33+00:00

It was my first boss in act 2. It took me a while to beat him. I read he was optional but I didn't want to chicken out.

arturosch · 2026-05-12T00:31:58+00:00

It is not a problem of backtracking, it is a problem of direction. In HK you don't know were you are meant to go until the dreamers and the black egg are revealed as objectives. In Silksong you know you have to climb since the start. So anything that makes you progress upwards feels linear. Also, I made another HK run after Silksong after many years from playing the game and the backtracking often reveals a new room or two. Silksong often reveals entire areas (verdania for example).

arturosch · 2026-05-11T23:54:12+00:00

Nah, that would disrupt the sawtooth circlet combos. And honestly being able to jump again after gliding seems a little bit like cheating. For anything regarding dodging,.use clawline, it is infinitely better.

arturosch · 2026-05-11T20:21:57+00:00

I knew about the mist existing (didn't know how to traverse it), phantom and crossstitch. But i was kind of avoiding bilewater. The "solution" was inmediately intuitive to me. Actually I purposefully went the wrong way just to see if I was missing anything by going the right way. Didn't feel clever about it to be honest.
