IIRC both of the shopkeepers in Dirtmouth have new dialogue once the Grimm Troupe shows up- Iselda just gave you her "out of stock" speech because that was your first time talking to her after you bought everything. On a tangentially related note, something interesting happened when I did ...

The Queen's Gardens is one of my favorite areas in the game, probably tied with the City of Tears... I just love how distinct it feels from everything else in the game, even Greenpath, which is also a very plant-filled area. I'm really looking forward to seeing raocow find the item that lets him get...

10204307

There's actually a charm in King's Pass in a room that raocow has never visited, on the bottom route of the room you fall into after the floor suddenly crumbles. It's hidden in darkness, which probably explains why he never thought to go there. It's actually possible to get that charm immediately, ...

And once again the Howling Cliffs must wait. Also, the Dreamgate does cost 1 Essence per travel, and it has limits. Personally, I didn't use it at all because I was still trying to build up enough to awaken the Dream Nail to start the path to the true ending. I just hope the lost Essence doesn't co...

But if he ever runs into Divine, he might have a few issues. If he runs into Divine, I don't think he'll even know how that works, because the game doesn't really give you a good indication of how she interacts with the Breakable Charms unless you're actually wearing one, and I don't think raocow i...

I know he had no reason to know about this, but seeing him decide to not go towards the area where the King's Brand is in Kingdom's Edge after discovering the door that it opens killed me on a spiritual level.

10204307

It's actually possible to permanently kill one of the Watcher Knights by breaking open a hidden passage in the ceiling to the left of the arena, and then breaking the chain of the first chandelier, dropping it on one of the knights. Needless to say, the fight is way easier when you only need to deal...

10204307

I think rao will kill the nailsmith with a spell just to see if he can do that, and then feel really bad about it.

10204307

Seeing how lost and distracted raocow has became in this game, I've imagined what his experience would be like playing Breath of the Wild. It would probably take him a couple years. He's not really lost , he just spent today investigating some things that mostly just serve a lore purpose. And the P...

10204307

Yeah, essence is super important and there's a lot of it in the game. It might not be a bad idea to go to some of those warrior's graves marked on the map and fight more dream ghosts. It's been a while since he bought the pins for that.

10204307

I mean, the real strat for this fight is the Defender's Crest, since it kills the little blob things instantly so you don't need to worry about them.

10204307

Double jump actually refreshes any time you touch a surface, whether it's a wall that you can jump off of or something you've bounced off of with your nail. And if you cancel the super-dash in midair, you can immediately double jump afterward. It gets really silly.

10204307

Will he go left this time? We shall see... He didn't go left last time because he didn't have the Super Dash yet. I'm glad things worked out in such a way that you ended up getting Isma's Tear and going back to the Ancient Basin in the same episode. Though I have to say watching raocow not throw hi...

There's also the problem that Hiveblood only heals the last mask that you lost, meaning if you get hit twice or more before it can regenerate, you'll only get 1 health back, so you'll still need to heal the rest up manually. That, and the fact that if you heal manually while it's regenerating, it st...

10204307

Yeah, I'd say Hiveblood is almost a requirement for White Palace unless you're really good at platforming. I'm super glad raocow managed to find the Hive on its own. If he hadn't broken up the wall with his magic attack he probably would've just gone past it without investigating further... I actua...

10204307

When I saw that the video was one minute from being over I was like, "It's a good thing he decided to not challenge the Trial of the Fool for this video, that'd be a bad time to One More Level this game." Needless to say, the jump cut was pretty... surprising. The Trial of the Fool is extr...

If you immediately do the trial first thing next ep you'll miss out on a bunch of stuff in Dirtmouth. Specifically you need to first save that bug in the Fungal Wastes (the one by the Mantis Village next to the entrance to the Waterways). It should be pretty quick there, back up to Dirtmouth, then ...

10204307

I don't mind the long videos honestly. Splitting the videos up would extend the length of the series by several days, and this playthrough is likely to be fairly long already.

10204307

Now is probably a good time to note that the game automatically saves when you hit "Quit to Menu". When you load your save you're automatically teleported to whatever the last checkpoint was with all of your progress intact, just like what happens when you die, only without a shade appeari...

10204307

Ground-poundable floors make a rattling noise when you walk over them, and also release dirt particles that fly up into the air. You've mentioned not being able to hear the audio cues because you talk over them, so maybe instead you should look closer at where you're walking so you can see the parti...

You can explore Deepnest without the light if you want to, but it's really dark. Like, so dark you can only see a tiny circle around your character. I'm pretty sure some of the plants in Deepnest glow in the dark, but it's really hard to get around. And raocow hasn't even seen the worst of Deepnest...

10204307

I played on a keyboard, so C was dash and X was nail. It's honestly a little awkward to juggle those two since they're right next to each other on the keyboard.

10204307

Personally, of the three nail arts, Dash Slash is the one I used the least. It's very finnicky to execute since you need to release the button while you're dashing, which just adds more things you need to think about. Also, since I had the Mark of Pride equipped almost the entire time, I never reall...

10204307

The Dash Slash has a much longer range than a regular nail attack. The thing that makes the Nail Arts so useful is that you have full movement while you charge them, which is something I wish more games would do. I never want to stand in place while I charge up an attack, and Hollow Knight makes it ...

The locked door was in the room to the left of the first room in the Soul Sanctum, with the one elevator that went up.

Since raocow ended off at the City of Tears, it might be a good idea to pay the Soul Sanctum a visit before heading back down into the Ancient Basin.
