tip: every time you see something that you need to use an ability in the future, mark them in the map pins, so when you're stuck you know where to go
@LamanKnight4 жыл бұрын
Yes, I can vouch for that. In my first playthrough, I wasted so much time by looking at incomplete parts of my map, thinking, "Oh, I forgot to go that way; I should explore that," and getting there only to find that I hadn't explored it because I didn't have the right abilities yet. It really does save headaches when you just mark those places instead. Even more importantly, it is a TERRIBLE time trying to remember things like, "Wait, where was that room that had that treasure I couldn't reach? I remember acid water... and some kind of stone wall... what area was that even in?" (Acid water and stone walls describes about half of the game areas.) I would also add, use pins for important locations that the map doesn't identify. For example, the grave where the Grey Mourner wants you to take a flower isn't marked... and you REALLY don't want to go wandering around with that flower any longer than you need to, trying to remember the exact location.

A tip that really helped me with some of the tougher boss fights: Just because the boss is moving quickly doesn’t mean you have to. It’s REALLY easy to panic, start trying to keep pace with many of the later bosses, but it’s also incredibly difficult to do so. It’s a lot better to learn when and how you NEED to move, and do just that. If there’s 50 projectiles on screen, you don’t need to avoid all of them, just the ones coming at you. Keep it easy, and be deliberate with your movement. Also, if you’re really struggling with a boss fight, make an attempt where you don’t try to damage the boss at all. Focus ENTIRELY on dodging. Start weaving in damage after you’ve started getting the feel and rhythm for how to avoid the bosses attacks. You’ll almost certainly die, but it’ll jumpstart your handle on the bosses moves, and it’s worth it.

@@gabtrg314 False knight can be tricky, but he also has a trick to him: he actually only has 1 phase. Let me explain: First, equip the Spell-boosting damage charm, I think it’s called something like Shaman Soul. With this equipped, you only need to get him staggered once. Then, dream nail him ONCE, and then pogo on the top of his body. This will reset his timer to stand up on his own. You can also get away with healing ONCE, and then pogo on top of his body (important: NOT his head. Deal enough damage and he’ll stand back up, we don’t want that). Repeat until you’re at full soul and masks. Then hit him so he stands back up. If you’re good, you can Wraith scream him as he jumps to the center, either do that or just immediately run to one end of the arena and spam Shade Souls. With the boosted spell damage, you should be able to deal enough damage to restagger him. Repeat the dream nail-pogo loop until full soul again and repeat. I’ve got it down to a science at this point, although I’m in the post game, but you can def get the handle of it. I believe in you!

I know about most of the tips already, but when he said “everyone dies A LOT when they first start playing.” really helped me. I compare my gameplay to others and think “God, I suck...” but now that I think about it, that’s the worst and biggest mistake you can ever make when playing Hollow Knight. Everyone grows and gets better at their own pace, and everyone starts out with a certain amount of skill. Some might start out really good, but never get better. Others start out extremely trash, but get better over time, and eventually beat the people who started out really good. My point is, don’t compare your gameplay to someone else’s, and don’t compare the amount of times you die fighting a boss. Just play the game at the pace you’re comfortable with, and you’ll fall in love with it.

@bdgrey4 жыл бұрын
It’s a challenging game for sure, but if you’ve got experience with the Souls genre, it’s far less frustrating. You’ve already been programmed to learn move sets, tells, openings, and so forth. This makes boss fights more manageable. As for platforming, there are some brutal areas for sure. A weapon arts one comes to mind. Kinda felt like the platforming was a mini boss of sorts since the music changes. Haven’t gotten to “THE platforming hell section,” yet, but I know it exists. But anyways, it’s about precision and timing. My point being, keep at it. The great thing about games like this, Ori, pick a Souls game, is that absolutely everyone can beat it. I mean it. The whole “git gud” meme did get toxic, but it’s also true. You’ve got to figure it out for yourself. Mantis Lords are a fun battle, but once you figure it out you realize how telegraphed it really is. Same thing with.....Pontiff in DS 3 or Lynels in BOTW. The Ginso Tree in Ori is brutal, but once you figure it out you get to go for a nice swim. So, in closing, it’s okay to take a break. Chances are you’ve made progress, even though you keep dying. Maybe you made it to phase two and couldn’t get back to it this time. Maybe you finally made over the first set of spikes, but kept dying. The point being, you did make progress. Relax, take a few hours, maybe a couple of days, and start fresh. Games like this are meant to test your resolve. Why let developers win when they designed it for you to win?

Many games nowadays are easy if you just grind enough weak enemies and level up, becoming basically immortal. In this game, the first boss will kill your upgraded character if you hand your controller to a friend for half a minute.

The most useful tip I can give: _For the love of god, PLEASE be patient during boss fights._ I understand. You might make a decent amount of progress on your first run; you might get to phase 2 or whatever. But then you die, so you think, "That wasn't too bad. Now I can rush through the first phase to get back to the second one quicker, right?" But no! That's a terrible thing to do. Don't ever think of anything as "easy", because in this game, chances are, they're definitely not, and you're just making yourself angry by continuing to fail at an "easy" boss. This tip is invaluable at every point in the game, but _especially_ with certain endgame bosses. _Keep calm and be patient._ If anyone reading this is new to Hollow Knight, I hope you enjoy the game just as much as I did! It may be difficult, but everything is worth it in the end, believe me. I have faith in you

My tip is that charms matter a lot in terms of gameplay. Find the playstyle that matches with your abilities the most and use the charms that help you the most in your playstyle. There are people who use more the nail than spells and vice-versa, people more focused in defense and healing, people more focused in offense and tanking/avoiding damage. When you progress the game, you are able to find items, abilities and charms that will help you develop your playstyle the most, so, explore the game. You will often find platforming challenges, embrace the challenge, and the game will reward you. Experimentation, trial and mistake are all part of the process

In my first playthrough I tried going through blind, but realized I just was not enjoying myself that much struggling to find things. The map is HUGE and knowing where to go was difficult for me since it takes me a while to learn maps. I ended up googling where a lot of things were, where to go, etc. And I still had a phenomenal time with the game, and it still became one of my all time favourites. People told me I basically spat in the face of Team Cherry for not enjoying a specific part of the game, but enjoying the hell out of literally everything else. That's normal. That's called having opinions. Nobody likes every part of any game. And its your experience, not anyone else's. You bought the game. So enjoy it how you want. You just have to choose whether to deal with it, or look online to make it easier for yourself.

@@CheeseBoat25 It's very probably too late but today I just beat the second hornet bossfight and here's my tips for the second bossfight (because I don't think there's much to the first tbh) 1)when you just dodged something by jumping and dashing, don't forget that you still have your double jump ready to dodge her throwing attack 2) if the spikes she places are getting to dense, don't try to get rid of them by breaking them one by one with the sword, just use a spell 3) you absolutely need to pogo her (hit down with the nail) at every chance you have, after every attack of hers 4) healing in this fight is tough, you can be sure of it pretty much only when she does her orb energy field attack and her throwing attack (if you're far enough) so it's better to use your soul for the downwards spell. This comes in handy in this fight as you dodge all of her attacks by jumping, making it so that she is always right beneath you, the perfect place to hit that spell 4) remember that, if you run out of dashes and double jumps (and wall jumping isn't an option) you can still stay in the air if you pogo her nail in her throwing attack or the spikes she places in the area.

One massive tip for boss fights is: Dont always try to heal. Some bosses are literally just too fast and will end up causing you more damage instead of healing that health. Quick focus is a great way to get around it, but sometimes dodging can lead to you defeating the boss instead of dying trying to heal.

@@Mike_Dubo The first Hornet fight was easy for me. I am Noob in metroidvania games, and I I had died a lot of times against the first boss. But when I finally arrive to the second zone and play vs Hornet, it took me just 3 tries. Soulmaster was my third boss, and took me 9 times. But the problem was, I only died 5 times in the first phase, and 1 time in the second phase because it took me by surprise. But the other 3 times that I died, were on the road to arrive to the boss. This get me frustrated. Ecah time you died, you had to go through a long way to arrive. And the wizards enemies were really annoying. I lost 1000 geos through the way. With Soulmaster you can heal yourself in a specific moment, and with Hornet too. The problem is when you are in panic and you try to heal yourself in a wrong time. But there weren't the most difficult. As I said, you could heal. Maybe the next bosses are faster

This was the very first game I got for my switch, a system I payed for with my own money, and this was the only game I had on there for a while. It. Was. Breathtaking. This game is a master piece, and my only real advice isn't really so helpful: Stop and look around often. Just take in the beautiful artwork of this game as you try to put together the somewhat confusing lore. This game is a test of skill at times, a test of patience, and an engrossing experience all around. It's one of my favorite games of all time, and not just for it's great gameplay. I could spend hours looking at the art and listening to the soundtrack. This game is teeming with life and passion and care from some very talented developers. I know I'm a little late to the party commenting here, but if you do happen to be reading this, I hope the game means as much to you as it does to me. Please enjoy every moment you have and every secret you discover. That's my advice.

I completely agree! Once I was about 1/2 way through this game, I began to call it that- a masterpiece. It is artistically/visually stunning, the music is perfect, the story is a grand tragedy and an existential commentary, and the gameplay is just next level. I have been a gamer since 1988. Hollow Knight is in my top 5 games of all time.

I quite agree with you, it was the beauty of the game that got me into playing it, even tho it's incredibly hard for me. May I offer you a suggestion? If you love embracing a masterpiece as you play it, you will love Ori and the Blind Forest, and his sequel, Ori and the Will of the Wisp! Ori graphisms are just as beautiful as Hollow Knight, and the soundrack is too of incredible quality! The story, while waaay more simple than Hollow Knight, is well made and touching. The gameplay, while way less difficult than Hollow Knight, will give you a sense of freedom very fun to play with. I wish you a beautiful day, stranger on the internet, and may your journey in theses wonderful worlds be full of the same love and passion that animed both of us while writing this, as well of the devs of thoses masterpieces!

Someone may have already mentioned this, but my own piece of advice is this: when you get the Monarch Wings (double jump), it may be very useful and fun, but don't become _overreliant_ on it. Many times after I first unlocked it, I caught myself doing quick double-taps on the jump button and messing up my timing and judgement of distance on what were relatively easy platforming puzzles before. Don't be afraid to use a simple hop or a high-jump and save the double jump just in case you miss your landing.

Don't expect to beat any boss in your first or second try. After losing a couple of times and understand your enemy, you will start seeing improvement at a constant steady pase and, eventually, the boss will seem much easier and you'll find yourself beating a boss which, at first, seemed impossible. Hope this helps someone ; I

This one for sure. It took me an embarrassing number of tries to beat False Knight and Hornet on my first play-through, and now their fights take about a minute each and are close to effortless. The bosses will kick your ass the first time around. You will die. A lot. But you will eventually beat them, and the more you play, the easier it will get. And once you get to the point where you start to feel actually kinda skilled, the whole game starts to make more sense and feel so much more fun. You just gotta practice.

My little contributions to these tips are: 1) Make a copy of the save games once in a while. If the power goes off while saving, you'll save file will most likely be corrupted and you won't be able to load it. Even when there should be a couple "older" save files you can use to patch your save game, it's not a bad idea to make a copy of save games after some time, specially after clearing difficult areas or bosses. 2) If you die in the Colosseum of Fools, there is a room inside the Colosseum itself where you can retrieve your shadow. First time I died there, I went back to the arena to fight my shadow but I only found the usual enemies instead, so I died again and lost all my geo. Even when geo it's really not that important after a while, at that point I still needed it.

Here is a tip someone actually had to tell me (by watching a video on the subject) that i wish i knew sooner: the charm notches are not as restrictive as you think. repeatedly try to equip the same badge you dont have enough remaining notches for and the game will eventually let you over charm. Over charm has some limitations, most notably that you can only over equip one charm at a time (so is best to make it your most expensive charm) and you take double damage until you go back within your normal limit, but if you prefer a glass cannon approach, sometimes it can give you the strength to overcome a long boss fight that otherwise you would slip up in. Weigh the risks and rewards properly and it might surprise you how much stronger you can become with just 1 extra charm.

Being someone who’s played Hollow Knight over and over and over, I can surely say that one bit of advice that I have for new players is: Don’t be afraid to explore and don’t rush the story. The story is amazing and the gameplay is a match made in heaven as well, don’t be afraid to go around and find things for yourself, and when you do find something, remember it, because it may remind you of something later! I hope any new players have as much fun as I did when playing Hollow Knight, good luck!

My tips 1. You can upgrade the Dream Nail to a point where it allows you to set something called a "Dream Gate" in most areas of the game. That "Dream Gate" is a place you can teleport to. I recommend having that thing in Dirtmouth so that you have a safe place with a bench, stag station and nearby lifeblood to always back in to if things are getting dicey. 2. If it's lore you're interested in, use your Dream Nail on any NPC you can find, heck you can even use that bad boy on corpses for just ever so little interesting things you could've missed. 3. If you get a new Charm, don't hesitate to try it out. You can never know what combo of Charms is the one you get along with best if you don't experiment. Get wild with combinations and even if it seems weird to other people, just go with what suits you, the game givesyou the tools for that. 4. Rusty basically already said it but patience is key. Sometimes you'll stumble upon a brick wall that you just can't seem to get past. But getting frustrated will lead you to make silly mistakes. The game can be rather hard so just take a step back, breathe and think. If you can't defeat a boss as of now, try and challenge it without the intention of beating it. Analyze movements, try to see if there are any indicatirs on what attack will come next. If it's a puzzle or you just don't know how to continue, go bac to areas you were in before. You will most likely have gotten some new ability that lets you progress there instead which may even be the key to continuing forward.

It's something that most people probably already know about but seriously it's super helpful. Hit everything. You never know what shortcuts you might unlock. Also upgrade your soul spells, nail, and masks as much as you can. It's oh so very helpful!!

One thing I do from most 2D games (like this one) and most people don't and REALLY helps. Don't watch your knight. Watch the enemy. You gotta be aware of your space to maneuver, but lock eyes on the target. NEVER leave the enemy out of your sight, neither it's projectiles. My friend faced Hornet and he had his *ss handed to him 7 times in a row. I told him: "Ignore what you CAN do and watch where she is. Pay attention only to her and react accordingly." He beaten her right after no problem.

An addition to the breakable walls bit is that if you can hear the sound of an item, enemy, grub, etc. that you can't see, there's a pretty good chance they're hidden by a breakable wall. And don't write off the sound an item makes for anything else. I've always written off the glowing sound at the entrance to the Forgotten Crossroads as the light coming from Dirtmouth and it was only yesterday that I learned that you can ignore the chain and wall jump up and find an artifact.
