[@dillonsomerville4729]

@@ThatDwag69 The hard part of beating Monomon isn't Uumuu, it's getting to Teacher's Archives. You need either Isma's Tear, or Shade Cloak (or a very precise C-dash skip) just to access that part of Fog Canyon, while all you need to get to Herrah is Mantis Claw (and Lantern, if you consider that an ability). The only hard part about beating Herrah, is the Deepnest maze you have to go through.

Rare paint w

[@dillonsomerville4729]

The reason so few have gotten "Rivalry" is because you not only have to save Zote in Greenpath, but also save him in Deepnest, then beat him in the Colosseum. Most people will already have beaten the Trial of the Warrior before saving Zote in Deepnest (if they find him at all), so likely won't know to redo it to battle Zote. Not to mention getting to Zote in Deepnest is pretty tricky if you don't already know how.

[@MaskerHollowKnight]

yeah this actually happened to me. I had to look up how to beat zote in the colloseum as I'd ready beaten it (I thought he was on trial of fool)

[@Draconicfish2679]

I actually have more achievements than I realized, apparently. All I’m missing is the mister mushroom ending, the achievements that you have to make a choice for, where there’s two achievements on each side of the choice, speedrun completion, and the steel soul ones.

[@MaskerHollowKnight]

yeah the choice ones are annoying

[@TurtleWithGun07]

In my first playtrough, i did the true ending before grimm because i found him very hard

[@lordpicklenips3407]

[@MaskerHollowKnight]

yes

[@amam-hv2xr]

Personally speaking, i didn't find that doing the 100% in Steel Soul too difficult, I focused on avoiding tougher fights or areas until I get certain upgrades, even though I did use the "quit when on 1 HP" a couple of times, I surprisingly didn't have to resort to doing it as much as I thought I would, also it was incredibly fun and fast, managed to so it in 8 and a half hours. It did take me two tries tho, died to to freaking Marmu lol

[@oyoplayer]

Idk why steel heart is the rarest achievement, I've done it long before (2 years) doing the P5. Maybe it would have made more sense if it has 112% instead of 100%
