Didn't raocow observe a couple videos ago that using charged attacks has a benefit over spamming lots of basic attacks, in that it allows him to focus more on dodging? Seems he reached that conclusion organically.

Re: HOLLOW KNIGHT - Blessings
Since you can equip Fragile Strength without worry in Godhome however (typically replacing Quick Slash) you're better off doing fewer strong attacks which means charging. Plus you don't have to worry about small enemies coming at you quick (since it's all bosses), and the hardest bosses often only allow one or two hits at a time between dodging anyway so charging gets more damage than if you use quick slash.

Granted you could do longnail instead of pride and do both but that leaves no space for anything else.

Re: HOLLOW KNIGHT - Blessings
Looks like you did much better this time, raocow! 37/42 bosses beaten!
But yeah, the way the LP's going to work from now on, I probably won't mind raocow skipping B-Sides if he doesn't make any new progress. Might as well keep the content fresh, after all.

Re: HOLLOW KNIGHT - Blessings
I recommend maybe practicing against the Ascended version of him to get a feel for the fight. It's true that he'll do two damage instead of one like he does in the pantheon itself, but if anything that should make you even better at it.
Re: HOLLOW KNIGHT - Blessings
I even watched a video of someone beating the Radiant version of Markoth and I STILL don't get it... The best strat I can come up with for him in his 2-shield phase is
Use a charged neutral attack against him right after he finishes spinning the 2 shields around, but before he resumes the projectile spam. The Mark of Pride charm helps make this much less risky but it's still not easy to execute at all. The rest of the time, focus on dodging and staying on a platform and hope that he doesn't corner you in a way where there's nothing you can do about it.
For Zote, I'm pretty sure the best strategy is
focus on destroying his minions whenever they're around, and stay away from Zote until they're gone because with them around there's just too much chaos going on. When it's just Zote alone, you can go in and try to out-DPS him and generally the only problematic situations are when he decides to run straight into you without giving you any time to react.
Re: HOLLOW KNIGHT - Blessings
You definitely do not need mark of pride for the harder bosses. I felt like when I stopped playing with big range sword I felt the absence hard for a while, but then I adjusted and eventually I decided it's not as important as it feels when you're using it.
Re: HOLLOW KNIGHT - Blessings
But this version of Nosk is kinda lame, since he's pretty much exactly like the first boss in this rush.

It may appear benevolent but it does not share our dream.
Be wary to wander that place.
Those who stray from the White King's roads shall face the law of Unn.

Re: HOLLOW KNIGHT - Blessings
Winged Nosk is a kinda weird one too in that it appears to be significantly easier than its alternative version by a large margin.

Re: HOLLOW KNIGHT - Blessings
Honestly, I say we should give him three days to fight through this massive task. If he makes absolutely no progress, then and only then should we help him out.

I recommend practicing a little against ascended markoth and zote!
