100% of my parries are completely by accident

@@Grassman666 1111111% of my parries are by accident

I didn't know parrying was a thing until recently. I beat the game years ago and I had 300+ hours on it.

I only ever got parties while pogo-ing

@@fangthefabulous1132 have you never played dark souls? Its pretty obvious to parry in hollow knight unless you thought the blinding light was the radiance come down from dreams to rape you everytime your nails clash

If u have void spells u can use the spell to make damage to the enemie and to avoid the enemie for hitting u. When u get uses to It spells are so usefil thats why shamman Stone is the BEST charm un the hame Edit: I don't know what was in my brain when I wrote this lol. Quick slash/fragile strength are much better

@@30k_Challenge_with_0video Incorrect, Shauman stone is best if your using a spell loadout, When working with the nail, unbreakable / fragile strength

@@treesimp6686 I think quickslash is better and more versatile than unbreakable strength, when put together tho, the nail will shred everything

@@squirtlett7369 better? yes, more versatile? no, there is a quite a lot of bosses that doesn't care, and strenght is way better for exploring, making it more versatile in my opinion

@@janthejetplane5668 I honestly think quick slash is better for exploring. When exploring I do a LOT of pogoing and often I miss my pogos due to cool down without quick slash

Mission failed we'll get them next time

I'll bet it was Pure Vessel I felt amazing after getting a triple parry on its three hit slash and then in my celebration I got impaled by the upward sword strike

@@andymcclurg9916 i dont know why but any time he does that i gravitate towards it

@@crazyfriend50 me and my fat fingers walking into NKG and THK ground burst attacks AFTER dodging them successfully.

I parry by accident all the time.

Ah, I see... A man of culture as well.

Yeah, mark of pride + long nail = OP

The key word here is more.

@@griglog1309 Honestly, mop id enough, leavr some space for fragile strength instead, much better imo

[[Grubberfly’s Elegy]] + [[Buddy Build]]: YOU DARE [Oppose] ME, MORTAL?!

You never appreciate spells until you try to get the Speedrun achievements and absolutely melt Watcher Knights and THK with DDark (THK is actually pretty hard when you don’t have very many upgrades though)

I learned to appreciate spells once I found out DDark has i-frames. Super useful in fights like pure vessel

i use spells on bosses i don't enjoy fighting, so i can end the fight faster. but fights like Mantis Lords? nail only

I abuse spells until I get to Pure Nail pretty much, and even then I’ll still use Abyss Shriek a ton.

@@AshenDust_ nah flukemarm and shaman stone is enuff for watcher knights lmao

Lol

Bro me toooo, but I have up after 10 mins

lmao I counted the amount of times I hit him, I reached 70 and was like bro something ain't right

Or you could...leave the room? Also why did you kill a ghost?

@@ricardobr1493 I can’t answer for him but I can answer for me: I killed the arrogant ones because why not

Just reading your comment gave me radiant markoth flashbacks. Never again!

Tbh I found umuu easy?

@@krissellers5510 just because uumuu is easy doesnt mean you cant get hit to it

@@xchomphk.9788 that's true

XCHOMP

You can just slash up and turnaround. On d-pad its easier to pull of

Switch, me neither man Also it’s like two frames of time save a don’t care at all

I play on playstation as well and have got it down pretty well, I use the joystick rather than the dpad. Its a lot easier to hit cancel when looking upwards, as both animations are looking the way you want to hit. Same with downwards, though that's harder for other reasons -I managed to work out a pattern with Absrad fighting which includes it, which is how I beat her radiant- Doing it while trying to swing left or right, unless you can do it without thinking about it, is a waste of time since if you just mess and miss hits, it's not worth it. But it IS possible on playstation, just keep trying!

im on playstation too but i didnt realise it wa harder. i do it pretty consistantly but i have played for a while so its prob just practiice

​@@neoflame3140 your profile picture is telling me it's not just "a while". You're probably some kind of god from the way you downplay yourself.

Stalking Devouts? Yeah me neither

You can do that to basically any enemy that atacks (some just run in your direction, but aside from them), so you can train with them. Those mosquitoes at green path are very interesting to use as training, as they recoil before atacking, showing the exact time to parry

Yeah most of the hard ones are just swag strats imo. Downward dashslash looks really cool though

@@neonoir__ [[dds]] IS JUST [[Longnail + Mark of Pride]] BUT WITH [Extra] STEPS

its only useful against hardcore mod boss/speedrun i think, you dont need it for normal unmodded challenges

Wow really?

@@Sholver yeah cuz the game has to decide whether you were spelling or healing

@@crazyfriend50 Wow ok thanks !

more like half a second at most but yes theres no reason to do spells with the focus button

I really wish the keyboard/controller options menu would have some little text explaining that because I had no idea what the hell it was until I started watching this kind of tutorial KZfaq videos.

Hello

Why not just dash through it instead of spell stalling? Unless you run out

I’m at level 2 and I’m getting close to beating pantheon 5

That sounds like a death sentence if, you don't stand on a platform xD

@@snowstorm5103 Using a regular nail on markoth is a death sentence so....

Imagine radiant markoth then That is a thing I am never doing

There is 12th level... And it's... Beating Primal Aspid

Then the secret 12th and 13th level, beat any radiance 2.0 and 3.0, now that is a challenge.

it was to demonstrate the short ddark in the fight, but in reality i would move the 1cm lol

that's what happens when you leave in mechanics, even obscure ones, that aren't a necessity in fights: They become an option for optimisation, and from there, perfection and ascension, to the point where modded bosses NEED said mechanics, even the most obscure ones. That, imo, is what makes fights interesting. Same reflex number game, but still all so varied and unique.

autocorrect lmao

Parrying that one nkg move is so easy wdym? A good example would be sly. So hard to pary

To me parrying NKG is easier than Broken Vessel because NKG is straight reflex while I actually have to think about the timing for broken vessel.

i parried nkg 4 times in the same attack lmao then died immediately

The amount of times I parried Broken Vessel and Lost Kin lmao.

and I don't even know why I typed this out

Yeah i can't do the slash cancels on controller but tried it on keyboard and it was pretty easy

Why does your pfp match so well

Side pogo is useful but I don't know if I've used it that much against bosses... But for navigating the world and especially in the path of pain, it's pretty helpful.

Side pogo is useless for most enemies

Why?

If you flex any harder your arms will fall off

You can do that without jumping first by just press & hold down + a quick tap of the button/key you have the spell assigned to. It's not required to jump first to use the spell. You don't have to jump for howling wraiths/abyss shriek either, just press & hold up + quick tap to use the spell.

Sharp shadow is better suited for that, longer reach & inflicts damage as you pass through the enemy. A regular shade cloak through is more likely to result in taking damage to yourself potentially twice in rapid succession.

yo what the fuck i wanna do an 8 party combo
