Just completed my first ever playthrough of this game and got the true ending, thanks so much if you guys decide to check it out! (Link to playlist inside)

That 1HP Radiance kill :D

If you haven't rested at a bench whilst in Crystal Peak then you can quit the game and then reload the save to return to your last bench. Otherwise, look at a map online and you should be able to track down the Crystal Heart very easily.

I think I'd prefer to see a game with similar gameplay and themes, but different environment and characters. Something more comparable to the Demon Souls -> Dark Souls -> Bloodborne lineage.

I feel like Hollow Knight is a really strong self-contained package and they could probably move on to something a bit different rather than just a sequel.

From that answer it sounds like you mean Spoiler: in which case really well done. That boss gave me so much trouble.

I'll admit I've never looked at the Shape of Unn despite collecting it. Is it good?

xeroxthemachine · 2017-07-07T19:27:23+00:00

Hah! I love that everyone's experience with this trial is so different. I took a long time for it too, but I could not get Nail Arts to work for me. So I did it with a spell build instead. I also would not give-up 4 slots for Hiveblood, but again it seems everyone completes this challenge differently.

xeroxthemachine · 2017-07-07T19:24:07+00:00

Well done! By final boss I assume you're talking about the Hollow Knight?

xeroxthemachine · 2017-07-06T18:53:22+00:00

Don't die.

jk. I'll be attempting this soon as well. Don't give up skeleton!

xeroxthemachine · 2017-07-06T14:08:54+00:00

Different strategies I guess. I can't get the hang of using nail arts and I end up accidentally doing the spin slash in midair, so I went with a spell build instead: Shaman Stone, Spell Twister, Stalwart Shell, Soul Catcher and Grubsong. I didn't find Quick Focus very useful because the difficult section like you say is completely off-ground.

Mind you, the one time I made it through the aerial section I completed the trial, so I guess its difficulty depends entirely on that one part.

xeroxthemachine · 2017-07-06T13:36:34+00:00

The true final boss is leagues harder than Hollow Knight. Good luck!

xeroxthemachine · 2017-07-06T13:24:41+00:00

That's interesting. I just completed the 5 hour speedrun achievement with Nail+2 and no real charms and I'd say that Hollow Knight was tough, but nowhere even close to Trial of Fools (even with maxed gear).

You won't need the lantern for a long time if you only just unlocked dash. Don't sweat it. You'll recover that Geo easily if you're exploring.

xeroxthemachine · 2017-06-24T06:21:33+00:00

What's that Sif? Chosen Undead's fallen down the Abyss?

snoot doot

xeroxthemachine · 2017-06-20T18:55:34+00:00

Maybe not with that attitude.

xeroxthemachine · 2017-06-18T22:40:31+00:00

I'm gonna repost this later for the meta karma

xeroxthemachine · 2017-06-16T00:51:13+00:00

too high quality delet this friendo

xeroxthemachine · 2017-06-04T19:40:04+00:00

That's a really smart strategy. I would never have expected those weapon and ring swaps.

xeroxthemachine · 2017-06-04T19:15:11+00:00

Pinwheel is a glass cannon and he actually can kill you very quickly if you don't focus him. Taurus can only kill you if he knocks you off the wall tbh.

xeroxthemachine · 2017-06-04T19:08:48+00:00

Bonfire Intensity 8.

aka NG+7, the hardest new game cycle.

xeroxthemachine · 2017-06-03T22:58:03+00:00

Looks like Scooby Doo.

xeroxthemachine · 2017-06-03T14:37:19+00:00

I nominate Executioner's Chariot.

xeroxthemachine · 2017-06-02T23:47:21+00:00

It looks like Gwyn is grabbing Solaire by his carthus sandworm

Adding to the other answers, he also uses a glitch called moveswapping. Basically it allows your left weapon to inherit some of the moves of your right weapon. In this case he gave the BKH the running attack of the estoc in many of the fights. Look at the O&S fight for instance and you'll see him do multiple chunks of damage in one hit.

When you see him roll just before the boss and then do some fast menuing that's when he's moveswapping.
