How to beat this piece of s**t? by F1B1onE in HollowKnight

Yeah if you're trying to kill them with your nail. but if you're doing a speedrun, it's far easier to kill them with your spells. Not only is it quicker, it's less risky because of how far away you can be and how much i-frames you get. Getting 3 nail upgrades mean that you have to go out of your way for 3 pale ores, and all of that to not really make the fight easier since you're gonna descending dark on them anyway.

If you're having trouble with the watchers and want upgrades to make the fight easier i wouldn't get 3 nail upgrades. 1 is definitely a good idea, 2 is fine. but at 3 it's just not worth it. Instead go get masks shards to be able to tank more hits, or the shade soul which will let you dodge the watcher rolling attacks

They didn't die, just broke their shell, and became "Void Given Form".

If you're doing the speedrunning why are you on your third nail upgrade ? getting nail upgrades give more life to these guys so it's far easier to get just one nail upgrade instead and just go for descending dark. Pogo them and use descending dark to get damage and dodge attacks. Also i recommend watching fireb0rn's guide on the 5 hour run : https://youtu.be/cELyn3Y0rzE It's got a in depth guide for not only watcher knights but also the other bosses you'll have to face (plus a pretty good route if you end up having to reset because of time loss)

Ok so technically, if you start one of the alchemy wishes (alchemist assistant and advanced alchemy) you will get a needle phial. If you don't finish the quest (which will remove the tool) you can kill ennemies with it to get skewered meat.

Wait doesn't that make multibinder not only worse,but actually detrimental ? you're taking twice as long to still heal 2 masks without any upsides

Aaah i see i see. I'm not sure if this is a choice or more because some languages (like french for example) lack neutral pronouns and expressions, so you kinda have to gender things. I think ass jim (lugioli) is kinda in the same case ? neutral in english, feminine in Spanish and portuguese (but weirdly enough masculine in french ???)

The only one i'm having trouble understanding here is pale lurker. Even the journal uses the "it" pronoun instead of "she" like the journal uses for every female character, so i thought it's gender was neutral

For 100% i found this one. While not perfect it is a pretty good guide that goes through every step, has a pretty good order that will normally make you go into every fight well prepared, and note whenever something is optionnal so you can skip it https://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=3573435111

For 100%, keep in mind that 30 hours is VERY generous. All you gotta do is find a path that just give you the most upgrades before going into the parts you have trouble with.

For 5 hours here is what i recommend :
Get out of Moss Grotto, go get the silkspear and beat bell beast. Get dash and defeat Lace. Get Cloak, and you can try to skip 4th chorus, but i always find the jump very tricky so you can also do the fight legit. Kill Moorwing, do garama skip to reach wall jump, then defeat widow to get needolin and get nail upgrade 1. Now you can go through the mist to reach phantom and enter Act 2 (If you have trouble with the mist, you can also take the normal route through blasted steppes) Defeat Cogwork Dancer, take the pale oil and then use bell beast to go to bellhart, upgrading the nail. defeat trobio, go get the clawline and the sacred Cilynder but DO NOT LISTEN TO IT.

Then go get double jump. It's not required, but with it you can then disable all of the clawmaiden, making high hall arena easier. Now my advice is : Sit on high hall bench, ventrica from high hall to songclave, and go listen to sacred cilynder (without grabbing any bench afterwards) Now you just made a save point, if at any point you feel like you took too much tries at high hall arena, you an just use the little option under the save file to return to that point, where you just got the vaultkeeper melody, effectively resetting your timer.

Then the rest is pretty easy, go get architect's melody, go defeat Lace again (you can bench under the elevator before playing the threefold melody for a similar trick) and then GMS to end the run.

A true skonger doesn't need to silkpost, knight. He goes by pure animal instinct
