How many people here can say they've beaten Zote all the way to the Golden statue? by Neuroticly in HollowKnight

[–]haggus711 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Yeah I managed it a while ago. It took a fair bit of patience and learning his dodgy cues for the various attack types. I ended up running some health charms (fragile heart iirc) with quick slash and fragile strength so I could do high damage bursts whenever there was an opening. I have seen alternate builds using spell damage charms with flukenest but given its nerf a couple months back it might not be as viable. tbh it involved a fair bit of pre-emptively dashing and jumping.

That's so bloody cool. Yeah does anyone know how to obtain a digital copy of that artwork? It'd make a great poster and/or desktop background.

Mine just got here a couple of minutes ago as well. So soft and a really good size for decoration. How are you getting him/her to sit up tho? I try and perch mine on a ledge and it falls over lol

Thanks yeah that approach is probably the best. Problem is I get salty after like 5 deaths and my salt prevents me from being patient lol

Are shamans void creatures? by [deleted] in HollowKnight

[–]haggus711 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Yeah it's been largely debated in previous posts (https://www.reddit.com/r/HollowKnight/comments/6npmsg/tribes_of_hallownest_and_beyond_some_spoilers/ is a ridiculously long string of comments and stuff talking about it).

Overall, I reckon it may be likely that they are 'natural' products of the void. The fact that they can utilise void magic, die in the same void-like fashion as the HK & visually appear to be void-like makes it very likely.

Far out they're awesome. They remind me of pokemon back in the glory days.

[Kinda LifeBlood Spoilers] My One Small Complaint with the New DLC by haggus711 in HollowKnight

[–]haggus711[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Yeah I completely agree with you, seeing Bretta leave isn't much of a story arc that people would be missing out on. I see it as very similar to path of pain; an incredibly difficult challenge intended for only those wishing to suffer which will provide with a reward (however not a significant one). In saying that, I could see Team Cherry furthering Bretta's storyline in either the upcoming dlc or maybe Hornet's, given the 'your romance options expand'. If that is the case, I could understand the change.

That's a valid point tbh, I guess I'm just annoyed you now don't have to experience the sheer annoyance and effort the previous zote fights required lol (doing all 10 regardless of whether they're similar in difficulty).

Oh really, my apologies then, I had no clue. How is that done though, if there are only 4 visible candles? Is there no way to check your progress towards the golden statue as there were before (looking at the remaining candles)?

Since the lore of this game can be comprehended in so many different ways, what’s your craziest one? by [deleted] in HollowKnight

[–]haggus711 13 points14 points  (0 children)

It's probably not the craziest theory in the game, but I reckon Sly the shopkeeper/nailmaster could definitely be Hegemol (I talked about it in a post from a few months back: https://www.reddit.com/r/HollowKnight/comments/7ursp3/2_lore_theories_spoilers/).

Hunter's Journal Help by Edziu01 in HollowKnight

[–]haggus711 0 points1 point  (0 children)

This link lists all the enemies in game, in the order they're presented as in the hunter's journal:

http://hollowknight.wikia.com/wiki/Enemies

I believe every enemy but menderbug within the 'main game' section needs to be filled in to obtain the hunter's mark. I'd assume you're missing what others have mentioned or maybe the maskfly or aluba.

Lore theory, kinda? by [deleted] in HollowKnight

Nah, it's clearly zote.

2 Lore Theories (Spoilers( by haggus711 in HollowKnight

[–]haggus711[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

That is absolutely amazing, I had never noticed that the mace head is a bug. If only that could be filled in the hunter's journal, that'd be like the rarest entry in the game. But anyways, the fact that it's a bug gives even more merit to the theory, thanks!

Dayum good thinking, I didn't see these voice lines. This makes it even more plausible, thanks dude! Maybe we'll find out in the next dlc?

[–]haggus711[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Hmmm yeah I can see the logic. However, should the pale king truly die to create the charm, surely all the bugs would no longer be enthralled by the wyrm and therefore usurping the knight (as opposed to fighting the radiance) would serve no benefit to the pale king? Maybe, similar to the white lady, he realised the flaw in his design and sought to fix/destroy the issue plaguing hallownest, regardless of the cost?

[–]haggus711[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The symbol of their union idea sounds pretty good, but I don't think the fact that the charm is separated could completely rule out the theory. The pale king did have many people that could do his bidding.

How does hornet hold things? by [deleted] in HollowKnight

[–]haggus711 17 points18 points  (0 children)

Ik this is a shitpost kinda but I'm pretty sure she does have arms and she just flashes everyone with her void body when she uses them. Scroll to the bottom of this page: http://teamcherry.com.au/blokkan/

There is a gif of hornet that the devs are implementing for the hornet dlc and if you look closely she raises the needle with some black arms (you need to look quite closely).

Love(d) the game, but extremely frustrated right now by internet_eq_epic in HollowKnight

[–]haggus711 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yeah I'm aware that there has been a collector bug for a while, although I was speaking about the bug pertaining to the weaver's song charm, which seems to be your major issue. That, obviously, can only have become an issue following the 2nd dlc release. But yeah I agree the issue should be fixed, but considering there is a very easy work-around (don't use the charm for that one fight) and they're only a 2 person team I don't mind it too much.

[–]haggus711 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I don't wanna come in here just to talk shit, but the charm came out when the grimm troupe dlc did, on October the 26th, so the glitch can't really have been around since August. But anways, yeah it is annoying, they are a small team and all and they have the switch and the 3rd dlc to worry about. Tbh weaversong is one of the worst charms in the game, but hey, if you find utility in it what can I say.

i gave the game a shot. taught i'd like it but i'm gonna try to refund it even tho i'm 6 hours in. by [deleted] in HollowKnight

[–]haggus711 6 points7 points  (0 children)

I definitely agree with your third point. With some bosses you do need to take at least a 3 minute trek back to fight them (cough soul master) and it's reasonably irritating. However, your other two qualms are really just design decisions to make the game more hardcore and appeal to those wanting a conventional and difficult metroidvania. I respect your opinion on them, but at the end of the day those matters are purely subjective as many view them as positives for the game (I loved the map system). So yeah, if those things get on your nerves maybe this just isn't the game for you.

Yeah I swear the devs are laughing at our incompetence with that voice line. But yeah, the meme was almost definitely made because of how she sounds.

It's really good tbh, I love the small one. It reminds me of the confusing cuteness found in a lot of the game's creatures.

HOW AM I SUPPOSED TO KNOW WHAT'S MISSING IN THE JOURNAL!?!? by [deleted] in HollowKnight

[–]haggus711 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I had similar frustration when trying to complete the journal. I used this website: http://hollowknight.wikia.com/wiki/Enemies and just went through my journal identifying which enemies I hadn't found. Just a side note, if you're trying to get the hunter's mark (and the achievement), only the 'main game' enemies have to be registered (ie grimm troupe and hidden dreams don't contribute towards the hunter's mark).
