Re: HOLLOW KNIGHT - Dreamgate
Personally I think that's part of why there's this alternate ending too. This way you can do the normal content fighting a few new enemies and a cool new boss, and then if you either find the second boss too difficult (or just aren't in the mood for that type of challenge) you can instead do this to wrap up the dlc's story and get closure.

What's in the cards for tomorrow, I wonder?
I have no idea!
Re: HOLLOW KNIGHT - Dreamgate
There is a peculiar cross-over between these facts, The moth species Calyptra Ochsenheimer is notable for being a rare example of hematophagy (blood sucking) in Lepidoptera, sometimes referred to as vampire moths. Compared to Culicidae (mosquitoes), these moths are poorly adapted for feeding on blood.
Taxonomic studies show show that these moths' ability to feed on blood is derived from fruit piercing. The moths suck blood from mammals by creating pools of blood from wounds on Rhinos and Elephants. Further unlike mosquitoes, only males of the moth species suck blood. And to show how poorly adapted they are at the task, male moths don't even live longer from blood meals in fact they and don't even produce proteases to break down the proteins from the blood meal.
It's speculated that the benefit is the salts in the blood which are then given to female moths as a nuptial gift during mating. A pretty bad vampire if all you want from the blood is the salt.

(Same goes for Fog Canyon; as other people have mentioned, you're able to visit the chalkzone on the map; there was no tendril blocking your way there. Maybe it might be a good idea to use your map markers to take note of where the tendrils are?)

Thank you for letting him discover that on his own.

Re: HOLLOW KNIGHT - In the Name of the King
wow I expected that of youtube comments, grounder
one dreamer, one mark, many tendrils, many grubs... so much left to do, yet the world seems so much smaller than when our little knight set out

Re: HOLLOW KNIGHT - In the Name of the King
I guess this probably the time to say there's another miss-able thing in the game which might be relevant next video. It's not a boss or big gameplay thing or anything, just
you can lock yourself out of getting the first ending if you do the stuff the King's Brand lets you do before getting all the dreamers and going to the Black Egg
. Nothing too important but might as well post a quick warning since he accidented into missing a bunch of Grimm troupe stuff.- Stink Terios

If you get the King's Brand and then kill Herrah, Hornet will be sitting at the pedestal once you exit the dream. Hornet mourns Herrah for a while because she was her mother.

Re: HOLLOW KNIGHT - In the Name of the King
making assumptions that will lead to disappointment. not that the power to pass through dark tendrils is that far off, now, but
Re: HOLLOW KNIGHT - In the Name of the King
I've always found it pretty funny how the black tendrils end up being the most mystifying part of Hollow Knight for so many people who play it. And it's always the same pattern of going "I bet the dream nail will let me cut those tendrils" and then "I bet the King's Brand will let me cut those tendrils" before finally stumbling upon the Shade Cloak. I wonder if raocow will remember the door he saw in the Ancient Basin?

Re: HOLLOW KNIGHT - In the Name of the King
I'm kind of hoping that
because he thinks he can cut the tendrils now, he'll head for that last dreamer, and discover while he's there that he doesn't need to cut tendrils to get there.
Odds aren't good, but it's a hope.
Re: HOLLOW KNIGHT - In the Name of the King
Just an idea, I hope this isn't too pushy or anything, but I know a lot of people wanted to see the final fight in Grimm Troupe, and even though the boss itself is technically available in another dlc, Grimm Troupe's presentation is kinda special, so I put together a save file matching rao's (stat and move-wise, the plot is at a different point so it'd just be for Grimm) right before the fight.
So if rao was interested, maybe he could still do the fight as a bonus episode type deal? Just wanted to give the option.

you are fully capable of doing what you need to do in the so called screaming orbs room.
Re: HOLLOW KNIGHT - Shade Grown Coffee
I think in a few videos we may have to start giving a bit of guidance of where to find remaining charms and mask parts and such, though I suppose the Grubs give some hints of hidden places he can go to.

And, of course, the Grey Mourner's sidequest. That's gonna be a capital-T Thing.tirakai wrote:I think in a few videos we may have to start giving a bit of guidance of where to find remaining charms and mask parts and such, though I suppose the Grubs give some hints of hidden places he can go to.
Re: HOLLOW KNIGHT - Shade Grown Coffee
You unlock it by looking at that etching on the wall raocow found after the first void wall he dashed through.
By the way, raocow-the reason that it keeps not showing you the journal entry of the thing you just killed when you kill a new thing and then open your journal(instead showing you an unrelated enemy) is because you have a whole bunch of unread journal entries for other things.
It just opens up to whatever hunter journal entries are "new", but you've accumulated a lot of "new" entries at this point, so it won't show you whatever is actually new until you look at all the old ones.
