HOLLOW KNIGHT - Blessings
Re: HOLLOW KNIGHT - Blessings
For the tendril attack, you just need to jump over it, using double jump if you need to. It has a lot of horizontal range but almost no vertical range, so as long as you're not near the ground you'll be fine.
Re: HOLLOW KNIGHT - Blessings
Pure Vessel is definitely a thing when you get to him, but I found after beating him a few times consistently in the statue room I managed to finish the 4th Pantheon without too much trouble, it's really just the panic you need to get over, just be calm and play smart.

Anyone going to direct him to the Ordeal? He has to see that, and it would be a nice break too.

Re: HOLLOW KNIGHT - Blessings
I think rao should get around halfway through the last pantheon
as for
for winged nosk and sisters of battle
and then accept a save file that has the final unlocked.as for
the eternal ordeal
... i'm surprised no one's gone for that yet. i'd say to do it right before opening the savefileyo.
Re: HOLLOW KNIGHT - Blessings
I think
Once raocow's done with all the Pantheon stuff (whether he takes a savefile for the last one's boss or decides to leave it out), doing that and
The Eternal Ordeal
would be the ideal thing to end the series on.Once raocow's done with all the Pantheon stuff (whether he takes a savefile for the last one's boss or decides to leave it out), doing that and
the Shrine of Believers
as one final video I think would be a perfectfun and silly

Just to add another voice to the "godmasters not garbage" side, I just really appreciate they gave us a way to go back to any boss fight we wanted, at any time, gives it a form of replayability I wasn't able to get out of it before.
I also loved all the new bosses, and the slight reimaginings of bosses(though uumuu did wall me pretty hard prepatch), as well as all the cool little touches and secrets in the world and the arenas, that fill out the story a slight bit more.
There's a lot I was expecting godmaster to be, and I think a lot of people were expecting godmaster to be, but I thoroughly enjoyed my time with what did come out of it, though I never completed the final challenge, and likely never will.
Also, since no one else seems to have publicly pushed you towards a fun thing, mr cowrao

Re: HOLLOW KNIGHT - Blessings
Pure Vessel is such an amazing boss fight. I actually like this fight more than Nightmare King because you're constantly looking for offensive opportunities while dodging his attacks, as opposed to NKG which is primarily a defensive fight. I had to practice against him for like a couple hours until I was able to beat him with about 50% consistency, and I enjoyed it the whole way through.
raocow's strategy of staying on the ground the entire time might work out in a single fight in combination with Melody and persistence/luck, but I don't know if that can get him through the boss rush version of this fight. It's a lot more pressure when you get to him after all those other bosses. I highly suggest practicing more so to fine-tune your strategy against him at least until there are no situations where you feel like you got hit unfairly. With the right strategy, every hit you take in this fight is the fault of failed reaction/execution.
Here's the strategy I used against him:

Re: HOLLOW KNIGHT - Blessings
The Godseeker wasn't talking about you, raocow. The talk of a bound one containing a god they seek inside, they were referring to Hollow Knight.
Hollow Knight, the Pure Vessel
...abandoning all of their kin to their fate in the Abyss, imperfect goods to be thrown away.
Pure Vessel, unsurprisingly, fights similarly to Hollow Knight, but much faster and stronger. Instead of attacks featuring the corruption, Pure Vessel demonstrates mastery of the pure white magic of their kingdom, as well as the ability to manipulate the Void. Pure Vessel is also the only character besides the player known to wield a Pure Nail, and prior to the beginning of the fight, can be observed wearing the white armor of the Palace Knights.
Hollow Knight, the Pure Vessel
No cost too great, no mind to think, no will to break, no voice to cry out in suffering. This is literally demonstrated through Pure Vessel's silent warcry. Pure Vessel is the complete culmination of Wyrm's ambition, the chosen spawn of his and Root's, taken to the White Palace of saw and spike, trained in the arts of nail and magic, raised to perfect form...Hunter's Journal wrote:”Deepest silence in holy shell,
- Chosen vessel, raised and trained to prime form.
Given nail and named a Knight,
Bound by chain and egg and spell,
Hear Our plea! Reveal thy Light!”
- Prayer to the Vessel
...abandoning all of their kin to their fate in the Abyss, imperfect goods to be thrown away.
Like the normal final boss fight with the corrupted version, Pure Vessel also has Dream Nail dialogue "inaccessible" behind a guarded mind.Ancient Basin Tablet wrote: Higher beings, these words are for you alone.
Our pure Vessel has ascended.
Beyond lies only the refuse and regret of its creation.
We shall enter that place no longer.
Unfortunately, Wyrm's ideals could never be lived up to. The Knight he raised could never be hollow, he instilled that himself.Dream Nail Dialogue wrote:
- Do not think...
- Do not speak...
- Do not hope...
- Do not...

Re: HOLLOW KNIGHT - Blessings
So this is the actual reason Godmaster is garbage: it locks an ending behind the requirement of an ABSURD time investment. It's just insulting.

Re: HOLLOW KNIGHT - Blessings
You can do it raocow!
Re: HOLLOW KNIGHT - Blessings
Hey raocow, sounds like it might be a bit late to suggest this but you might consider making use of the charm that makes your dash do damage. You spent quite a bit of this video dashing through bosses which would help whittle them down more quickly and safely.

Worse case raocow, just record with no commentary, then use PPR while editing.

Re: HOLLOW KNIGHT - Blessings
Yeah, Hollow Knight already appealed to the Souls aesthetic and overall challenge and feel. Boss Rushes aren't even a Soulsy thing, that's more Capcom/Konami design (Megaman, Gradius, Castlevania), and the various challenge toggles are another thing entirely - feels more like Bastion than anything else off the top of my head. "Dark Souls is the hardest game" is a poor meme.Stink Terios wrote: ↑5 years agoThat..... has nothing to do with what I said or what the DS audience wants.LatexHydra wrote: ↑5 years agothey wanted the dark souls audienceStink Terios wrote: ↑5 years ago So this is the actual reason Godmaster is garbage: it locks an ending behind the requirement of an ABSURD time investment.

Re: HOLLOW KNIGHT - Blessings
Well that was night and day. Very nicely done. ^^ (except the Markoth bit )
Re: HOLLOW KNIGHT - Blessings
You almost found the next thing when jumping around, you need to
It's worth a try of course but I think you'll understand pretty quickly why everyone's insistent on just getting a save file for the finale.
Otherwise there's one more thing that's been mentioned that is definitely worth doing, and a secret bonus area that's not important but I think would be fun extra (and maybe a good place to jump around while giving your final thoughts on the game as a whole)
thing that's definitely worth it - hidden in Godhome -
other bonus area - hidden in Resting Grounds -
keep going up the right side of the main building

Re: HOLLOW KNIGHT - Blessings
Essentially, you were acknowledged. You surpassed the Hollow Knight with all the Void as your witness.
I know I'm the one offering save files in the first place, but I do really believe you can finish Godmaster. More than difficulty, the main issue comes from how long each attempt is actually going to take.
The "just doing it silent and then adding PPR" suggestion may be a good idea, if it takes a lot of tries.

Re: HOLLOW KNIGHT - Blessings
I mean we will see. I feel like tomorrow is gonna be a 'feeling things out' and see what is actually going on kind of run. I'll decide if I'll need your help then

Re: HOLLOW KNIGHT - Blessings
I'm personally not really expecting you to finish it. Not really because of your skill level or anything but just because it's really difficult and really long, and I haven't been able to do it either. So don't feel bad if you can't beat it.
