Path of Pain is NOT Easy

The Comment: "Path of Pain is easy" Me with drifting switch controls: Yeah right.....*Easy*

[@brokenstage17]

Im guesing u have drift on ur movment stick:( i have drift on my dullshock left stick too but its weird it only drifts when i hold L2 Like in shooter games its so annoying im aiming and it moves

[@inavela_artsy]

@@brokenstage17 I have drift on my left joystick, the one I use to move. PLUS: Whenever I use the D-pad the attacks go up and not front hhhhh

I have drift on them both. All I can say. It's really "fun"...

You can see his mastery over movement as he goes further and further, path of pain isn't good because it's hard (it is) but because it teaches you true mastery over hollow knight's movement. Because only through pain can you become stronger (or some other philsophical shit idk)

[@R64GreatDays]

Hard =/= Bad Bad Design = Bad Difficulty is fair for the challenge it gives. It is reserved for the most dedicated players. Also you are right about PoP being designed for mastery. PoP purely exists for two reasons: 1.) Mastery over movement controls 2.) Symbolism for Lore (The Pale King sealed away the memory that doomed Hallownest that only those who experience pain can understand and witness.)

Remember. You never die on the Path of Pain. You only get hit. If you get hit enough, you exit the White Palace.

[@highgrounder8806]

Quick tip for everyone trying this: don't use Dashmaster! I used it when I played it for the first time and I can't count how many times I died because I dashed downwards

[@tristancruver4527]

The most painful thing out the PoP, is that I can get to the last part but never beat it. I literally spent an entire day trying to beat that last goddamn part.

[@RubyLoxolyte]

How the heck did you beat the part to 9:32 *in less than 2 hours on that area alone w h a t ?*

[@underplayer420]

I really love this. I actually felt as if I was doing the path of pain with you. And screamed when you screamed, felt satisfied when a segment was finished. Haters will say it's fake, but real HK fans know it's real.

“The Path of Pain is easy... ...once you’ve beaten it.”

[@KodasGarden]

People always say to equip hiveblood, but my go to is always deep focus, grubsong, and grubberfly's elegy. Taking two points of damage gives you more than enough soul to heal back two masks, so you basically have infinite soul to heal, and you don't have to wait ten seconds between attempting a part
