It looks really hard xD

I drew some fanart of Hornet, since I'm so hyped for Silksong, and I'm quite pleased with the result!

100%?

[Channelknight Fadran Worldhopper]

Not yet. I'll get there. Today it was just "complete the game" (regular HK ending)

[Nameless Mistborn]

Nice! How many times did you die trying to beat it?

Would you recommend to play hollowknight on pc or on console?

i've only ever played console but i think its great

i literally have it on PC but ive never opened it

actually one sec lemme try it out so i can give a better opinion

[dannnnnnex Most Ancient]

aight im like halfway through kings pass and i already like console better

the controls are just weird

you can obviously rebind them to whatever

but i think using a controller makes much more sense

so play on PC or Console, but either way just use a controller. it isn't too hard to connect a controller to your PC, but if you dont wanna mess with that then just do console.

PC default controls:

Spoiler

also i just found something weird

the game is still open on another desktop

but pressing keys still does stuff in the game

and i can click on menu things

so thats a weird glitch

[The Wandering Wizard Envisager]

Alright, thank you. That is a rather weird set up for console.

[Nameless Mistborn]

Use whatever controls you're most comfortable with. If you use a controller a lot, use that. I played with a keyboard, and I've 112%ed the game, beaten all five pantheons, and gotten a bunch of bindings, so it's not inherently harder.

Good, good. Have fun with the game, and don't worry too much about geo. You'll get more eventually.

It's Steel Soul

I mean how many Steel Soul saves did you lose trying to beat it?

[Channelknight Fadran Worldhopper]

Oh!

Well, I've failed my fair share before. There've only been one or two actually serious attempts at it that I've lost before though.

I just quit to menu if I'm about to die in a steel soul run

[Matrim's Dice Mistborn]

I’d argue that isn’t Steel Soul at all /shrug 

But if it makes you happy

Man, I can't believe anyone would do something like that. It's totally cheating. Something that I, an expert player with every achievement, would never do.

I just beat Hollow Knight for the first time!

I may or may not have done so at 93% completion...

I beat the game at 56% xD

[Enter a username Silent Gatherer]

I also tried to do a Steel Soul run, but died in Forgotten Crossroads. It wasn't even to False Knight or anything like that--just a Vengefly and some spikes.

[The Wandering Wizard Envisager]

I finally figured out how to beat Nosk.

Nice! What spells/nail upgrades did you have?

[The Wandering Wizard Envisager]

Coiled Nail, Shade soul, desolate dive, howling wraiths, all three nail arts, quick focus, longnail, throns of agony, and nailmaster's glory.

And I just stumbled upon the watcher knights.
