Hey raocow, how long has it been since you last saw the Grubfather? Might be worth a quick detour since you're at a stag station, considering he'll probably have enough of a reward to replenish the supply you lost a few days ago

I feel like at that point they may as well not be posted at all.

Re: HOLLOW KNIGHT - Dreamgate
Alas...
Sorry the debate from the WL3 topic bleeding into here. I'm the cause of that.
There should be a real good debate, but this should probably go into some officially-sanctioned topic, away from the games rao is LP'ing.

Re: HOLLOW KNIGHT - Dreamgate
...that said, I'm almost curious if not having done one of those things for so long will have an impact or not, like the fate of the moss guys overgrown by the orange blobs. I could look it up, but I'd rather see how raocow reacts.

Re: HOLLOW KNIGHT - Dreamgate
The Grimm Troupe DLC offers some really interesting lore and a new enemy in those kiddy-like flame bearers. They're surprisingly innocent!
...for now. After the first upgrade to Grimmchild, things start getting properly sinister.

Re: HOLLOW KNIGHT - Dreamgate
I'm curious to see how regular Grimm goes though. It'll take some time for him to learn it, and lack of shadow dash hurts, but he's quite reasonably beatable
Re: HOLLOW KNIGHT - Dreamgate
Re: HOLLOW KNIGHT - Dreamgate
Anyways the I really enjoy how the Grimm Troupe has such a distinct atmosphere from the rest of the game, I guess it works well to show how they're not from Hallownest.
Re: HOLLOW KNIGHT - Dreamgate
On a tangentially related note, something interesting happened when I did my 5-hour speedrun playthrough: I went into the map shop near the end of the game, and Cornifer was already sleeping in the back even though I hadn't bought all of the maps or visited all of the areas, and Iselda was selling all of the maps, even the ones for areas I hadn't been to yet. I guess there's some point in the game where Cornifer just automatically goes home?
Iselda does have unique things to say about each map she sells, but it's quite easy to miss if you get all of your maps directly from Cornifer. None of them contain any spoilers, so if you're curious:
Re: HOLLOW KNIGHT - Dreamgate
Think raocow will remember the key to the Tower of Love? I wonder what it unlocks
Re: HOLLOW KNIGHT - Dreamgate
Grimm's HP is based on number of hits, not health pool so your nail strength doesn't matter. It's pretty bullshit.
Anyway, I have a QoL suggestion for you since you have the dream gate. No content spoilers or anything but I thought I would be respectful and spoiler my suggestion anyway.
Just put on at one of the Stag Stations so you'll never be far from the fast travel system
Re: HOLLOW KNIGHT - Dreamgate
The Wiki gives NK 1500 health whatever your nail level. Regular Grimm does increase his health from 800 to 1000, but that isn't enough of an increase to offset the upgrades anyway.

Re: HOLLOW KNIGHT - Dreamgate
And it's not the only time a leitmotif is going to get twisted.
Re: HOLLOW KNIGHT - Dreamgate
Anyway, he looks like the bug ghost the player has, so that might be how he captured rao's a couple of times.

Re: HOLLOW KNIGHT - Dreamgate
