3 Mistakes New Players Should Avoid In Hollow Knight

#gaming #shorts #hollowknight

[@sirdomski945]

I had one mask and the only enemy in the coliseum was a primal aspid. I think we know how that went

[@annemiejansens3428]

i can relate... oof...

[@ericaston8982]

You know what’s sad, the fact that I struggle more with normal enemies than I do primal bois

[@kaizenyasou6963]

This just happened to me today 😂

[@d3ltazer0judgement]

I had 4 masks and a primal aspid was the only one in the coliseum. I obviously know how that went

[@mohammedsamyr4917]

i had all my mask and the primal aspid killed me ...

[@frostbite5607]

The fourth mistake a new player can make is saving Zote

Honestly the Primal Aspids were nothing compared to the utter betrayal and pain I felt upon reading Bretta's Diary and seeing the Lies Zote said to her about us. Like, we could have been homies!!!!! But now I see him and laugh knowing his life is in my hands

[@MyPhoneHas13PercentBattery]

Beat gray prince zote like 10 times or something. It makes bretta leave zote.

i heard those are a breed of primal aspid.............................................

​@@undeathghost5627 so just now I learn can parry their shards

I use primal aspids to train for dodging long range attacks 😅

[@gotnoideaforaproperusernam8122]

True warrior. You deserve salutations

[@Quirrelwithteeth]

Smart I might do that when I reach kingdom’s edge

[@theluciusone4127]

[@Ghost_wlkr]

@@saadzafar4663 if you get pure nail + breakable/unbreakable strength they are 1 or 2 hit

Another is: if you just cannot beat a boss, unlock more gear before retrying it.

Or pull a inexperienced me and spend 15 hours on it 😃

Bro I’m a 250+ hour player and I’m still not gonna even try to kill the failed champion

[@Yourlocalsocks]

Update it took 10 minutes still harder than the radiance

[@Totkgod1]

What if you can’t

[@lalocorgan]

4th: DO NOT check up on Myla. Meet her for the first time and never go back

[@danielhua8964]

Is it because she's useless to the advancement of the game or for some other reason ? (I just started playing yesterday, please do not go too much in detail)

[@lalocorgan]

@@danielhua8964 Because she's precious. In all seriousness, visit her from time to time, enjoy one of the most adorable characters in HK

[@EaterOfGeese]

​@@danielhua8964 I will keep this as vague as possible. Myla is a friendly npc that can be seen happily singing despite not remembering the words to a song. Once you beat certain bosses, she gets less friendly, and eventually turns into another hostile enemy. Killing her makes her gone from that save file forever

[@djaccountisbfisbx3880]

I’m gonna be real with you, I never noticed Myla on my first playthrough, I must’ve missed her or something on my first trek into Crystal Peaks, then went back through that way and killed her thinking her to be another Husk Miner.

[@rakt8946]

I saved her bro, it's easy

[@annemiejansens3428]

The third one isn't a tip to tell new players, that's common sense! 😂😂😂

[@_Revek]

Yeah, anyone who encounters primal aspids for the first time is gonna learn why they're called primal

[@RelativeConfusion]

Bro, the primal aspids were harder than the Grimm Troupe's entire quest

[@Rizen_RC]

FOR REAL

[@guillaumerattaire290]

yea...beside the bossfight with the nightmare king, im well past my 100 retry and most of the time i die at the begining haha

@@guillaumerattaire290 we, the community, understand your pain deeply, my brother

[@mr_bruh7915]

the amount of punches my desk has eaten because of primal aspids is immeasurable

[@pokemaniacqolem6495]

I always found simple combat to be one of Hollow Knight's biggest strengths. At least personally, I prefer to focus on movement than trying to pull off crazy attacks with like 10 bajillion different buttons

[@EaterOfGeese]

I also like how simple the combat is. 3 abilities using the same button and mana system, 3 cool things to do with the nail, 3 cool movements, and... thats it! I rate the combat system 33/3

[@my3rdface389]

true, primal aspids are hell spawn

[@Q-B1Q]

I usually kill them as fast as I see them so they can’t swarm me

[@Krazyseas]

4th mistake: ignoring elder bug

[@annemiejansens3428]

whoever does that is just a monster!

[@Mr.CementLollipop]

We bring him the delicate flower. That's what he deserves ❤

[@skuawkersishim]

#1 is mega important. I rage quit so hard, that I legitimately stopped playing for a few months. Just recently came back to it, and I am mad at my self for leaving it for so long

[@tuckergoodin7684]

I did the same thing. I just couldn’t push past greenpath because I kept getting annoyed, and just realized how much I was missing

[@MatthewBrown64]

I did the same, just… not early. Kingdom’s Edge Hornet. Just got back to the game and I am in an unimaginable amount of pain with this goddamn boss.

[@omanoma5278]

it was broken vessel for me. Couldn't beat it for the life of me. 2 years later and I killed it on my third try. God I was missing so much

[@THEREALGOOOGZZZ]

I can confirm the primal aspid one I have trauma from them

[@60yashrajgupta98]

Bonus Tip:You can swing upwards and downwards in mid air. Swing downwards is called pogo and give you a propel in air . . . . I didn't know about this till I reached fungal wastes after defeating Hornet

[@undeathghost5627]

Tbf that's where the game teaches you organically

[@60yashrajgupta98]

When I realised if I had known it earlier my life would have been so much easy

[@Levi-tv5pd]

A tip for beginners: always use wayward compass, it’s the best charm in the whole game

[@The_Fourth_Host]

And shaman stone

[@holmesharris3886]

And gathering swarm

​@@holmesharris3886you get so much money later on you dont need to waste a slot for that

No wayward compass is too op

If I made a tier list, wayward compass wouldn’t be S or A tier. It has its own tier above all the others😂

[@Belarovis]

The most Frustrating thing is dying somewhere far away from a bench.

Save points in this game are few and far between!

[@ry7xsfa872]

But finally getting to a bench after a long time without one can be one of the most satisfying experiences in the game

[@muhammadnabil675]

Tip : Don't feel ashamed of changing your charms when facing different bosses. It's not cheating. This also applies when you're exploring more to unlock your full potential (Mask shard, vessel fragment, nail upgrade, shade spell)

[@tuckergoodin7684]

Why would that be cheating? That's their intended use

[@Acxgal1972]

Advice I’d give is don’t be afraid to look something up if you need help, it’s your first time and so you’re guaranteed to need some advice for stuff

[@MeloAvis]

honestly the only problem I have with that is eventual spoilers (staring literally anywhere on the wiki page)

[@TheCookieGang26]

I just got this game, and that first tip is gonna be really helpful. Thanks, man.

[@yeetymcteeth3038]

#4: don’t get any of the dreamers until you get monarch wings, the starting crossroads area becomes infected and most shortcuts are cut off, so be careful!

[@STB4G]

“dont get bored early game” literally me in any survival game

[@WyvrnOnYT]

Haha I'm the same way. I can't play the survival genre (Excluding Minecraft)

[@Moonlord2193]

Me with terraria, it's my favorite game of all time, but the early game before you get 400 hp can get boring

Did you know that ther's a secret room in godhome where you can fight the zote that you find in the Colosseu?

I started my first playthrough about a year ago, when I got to Hornet's fight I got discouraged because it was so difficult for me About a month ago I restarted my playthrough and finally beat Hornet and now I'm literally obsessed with this fucking masterpiece

[@kylewalters377]

Counter attack: only approach the aspids in the colosseum, remember exactly where they spawn and with nail master glory shred him before he hits two secs of existence

[@Firethorn.gaming]

Everyone says primal aspids are the worst, but my least favourite enemy is the stupid flying husk sentry with the spear

[@stevetheslayer2330]

They should add a charm that makes all primal aspids explode and deal damage to only enemies

[@user-xs6by6hj9i]

My friends did the first two. They don't like the game even tho they didn't even get to greenpath.

[@Expt.-077-super]

Another mistake is using mark of pride or longnail, once you start using them you never take them off

The 4th mistake is the dumbest mistake I ever made which is I never watched a tutorial and explored the whole map not knowing where to go

[@amirshlomolavan]

Qs a non-hollowknight player who doesn't even think of trying the game, the last one feels like either a genuine tip or a community troll and i'm not sire which one i'd respect more

[@user-bk8vm8du9q]

The way I got through it all was mainly by standing around, starting at my map. I didn't look up a walkthrough until I got completely lost after Crystal Peaks. Once I found where I needed to go, I went from mad that I gave up moments before getting Crystal Dash to amazement to the amount of areas that opened up to me

[@ErenAyar]

Bro gave me PTSD with the last one...

[@Anti2790]

I love the more simple combat. It allows me to focus on maneuvering rather than remembering a ton of moves or combos

[@brunomiquet9800]

me who litterally fights primal aspids and finds that easy: am i secretly a pro?

[@thegabrelian631]

When I first started playing I rage quit for like a year, then I randomly decided to start playing again and I’m very happy that I did

[@tuxed0]

i did the same gave it up in 2020 after unlocking city of tears and now in 2023 im almost at 112%

[@kerke4639]

Make sure to look for Cornifer when you arrive to a new place because you’ll probably die and if you’ve went to deep into the map, you’ll struggle hard to find your shade, especially in Deepnest

[@Whisperz_drawingz]

"Don't get discouraged easy" Me: ........ i have been stuck. on the same level...... FOR ALMOST TWO YEARS. TWO FRICKING YEARS

[@dragonsuper6195]

On my first playthrough, when I finally had gotten accustomed to the game, Zote gave me PTSD with that ridiculous get-up, and yes colosseum of fools, with those primal aspids were a nightmare

[@mustafe4947]

I swear they have aim bot as it looks like one of the acid balls ain't gonna hit but It hits from 15 miles away when I'm healing

[@shankartorres230]

The thing about primal aspids is they are extremely easy to beat… when they are by themselves but you’re always on a platform with some other low level creatures below it and you’re in a rush and it just throws you off every time

[@gamingassassin839]

I got discouraged cause i couldn't defeat broken vessel but at the end i did it and now i have all the upgrades other than desolet dives upgrade

[@elephantcemetery]

getting good at the swiping down attack is a good skill i think. Comes in handy with some bosses as you can get a hop when you use it and hit it extra times.

[@MACNCH33Z3]

The primal adpids already daminged me mentally and emotionally

[@Mr.TankmanReal]

I just got this game and the combat is so fun especially after just killing hornet after like 20 tries 😢

I would say the biggest thing I would say to learn as a beginner is down poking shouldn’t be slept on and also don’t be afraid to chang your build .

[@octoolivia6745]

The first time I played I did everything I could before unlocking mantis claw - getting the lantern, going through crystal peaks to get dream nail, crushing every boss I could find… because I didn’t know to down pogo on mushrooms. Don’t be afraid to look online if you’re stuck

[@TheStanDudley]

Rule #1 is a big one. Most negative reviews on steam have -5 hours. Took me a while before the game started to click in an enjoyable way. Absolutely worth the wait.

[@Isthatabridge]

Played the game for 28 minutes, got stuck in a cave for 20 minutes, spent 5 minutes fighting an unkillable pangolin, spent the last 3 searching how to refund a game on steam

[@serlingfulton9408]

Thus was the first game that really made me try at that point I had only played a couple games and I was immediately hooked.

[@44DD_0]

The guys at kingdoms edge are actually really good for farming geo in Early game (once you have vengeful spirit) and late game for a quick amount of geo

[@sharwalker983]

Primal aspid is Like a bully to me that thing haunts meee

[@liammrblair9799]

Actually made the first mistake number one when I first got the game and then I downloaded it like 5 years and I only just got to the abyss

[@genuineinterest]

I'll add my own one: the moment you have a Simple Key to spare, use it on the door on the far side of Dirtmouth. There are so many moments where I've gotten locked into a boss fight or swarm room because my shade is juuuuuust too far out of reach on the other side of it and the doors lock on you, and sometimes I've double died and lost all my money before I could reclaim the shade which is INFURIATING. Talk to Jiji, make use of the rancid eggs to summon your shade back, there's no other way to use them. I unlocked her mid to late game when this had already happened so many times, I would have loved to know earlier what she could do for me. And there are more keys.

[@Thumper7639]

I love how every hollow knight player wothout communicating can agree that primal aspids are the most annoying enemy

[@bengopalmi80]

Combat doesn’t get more complex as you get more skills. After the first it’s all the same principle, it only changes what direction you fire magic. What makes the combat to seem improving as the game goes on is the depth in enemy design

[@jordanriley1436]

I mean it does, you get more movement options which allow you exploit boss attack patterns to a greater extent and generally just up the pace of battle. Also D-dark isn’t just a directional spell, its most prominent use is for s.

[@soteresx]

Totally agreed with the 3rd one, it always gets me no matter what I do.

[@nicholasspence480]

I thought "discouraged" was a charm for a second😅...

[@50mile.entertainment]

That low key shot at Zote in number 3 didn’t go unnoticed 💀

[@ClayAdams]

Great advice. When I first played this game, I didn’t give it a chance and I didn’t like it. Months later I decided to give it another go, and I’m so glad I did, otherwise I would have missed out on a masterpiece. It’s now one of my favorite games of all time

The only thing i HATE in this game was walking, traveling, getting lost and not knowing what my next objective is, mu 1st playthrough was kinda hell just checking area’s out hoping to find “Progress” and sometimes items i have are meant to be used and bought/found in specific areas such as Keys just to open a very vital area to progress further on that i had to do Wiki which i was avoiding at all cost. My 2nd playthrough after many months later which is today became a lot more smoother, not doing wiki anymore since i kinda still remember some.
