Understandable.

Okay, guys please help. I can't figure out how to get to the final dreamer in the City of Tears. The only doors that I can see on the map are locked and I can't figure it out, and it's super annoying.

you go to resting grounds and there you have a lift, from which you go to the aristocratic place. idk exactly where are you stuck, but then you go up and beat some bugs and then the watcher knights. from there you just have to climb up

Yeah, you need to go through resting grounds to go to the west side of the City. You also (are supposed to) need the Monarch Wings from Ancient Basin.

I finally beat the third pantheon. Zote took forever to get past, but I changed out my charms for nail ones and beat it pretty easily.

(Spoiler for the boss of the third pantheon)

Spoiler

I beat Sly on my first try. I got to him and was expecting to have to practice him a bunch, but I just beat him. So that's cool.

It would seem that you are the Nailsage now...

Well, I beat the pantheon of Hallownest.

Take my upvote. I'm currently unable to beat watcher knights in my second playthrough. (It's been a while.)

Spam descending dark to dodge his attacks, watch good people beat him.

(Is this thread dead? I don’t care. I guess not terribly)

This game is awesome! I basically have no idea what all the side quests and things other than the Dreamers and Hollow Knight boss main plot are but I’ll figure it out  I beat the Deepnest one and currently hate the Watcher Knights so that’s cool. (Yes, I broke the chandelier and have good charms and things)

And I saved Zote because I didn’t know not to :P.

Geo lost to dying before reclaiming my shade: ~1500

Edit: Or maybe today I can just beat them and take out the Dreamer and then also find Uumuu and take out the third Dreamer

Nope, but that’s the next thing I’m gonna do. Then I’ll explore literally everything. Or try to.

I know  Pretty psyched about it tbh

Edit: Beat The Hollow Knight! Took me the better part of an hour, but Phase 3 was easier than Phase 2 which was a welcome surprise. Am I the only one who felt bad for the Hollow Knight by the end of that fight?

Got the ending where

Spoiler

The Knight became the new Vessel.

30ish hours and 56% completion rate, so I’m nowhere near done but this is a good milestone :D.

Congratulations! That tends to be the first ending a lot of people go for/get. There's a ton to do in this game, from the Grimm Troupe and Godmaster content, to the Dream Bosses. I hope you'll keep us posted on any other big achievements in this game you happen upon! Playing Hollow Knight for the first time is a once in a lifetime experience.

I beat all the dream bosses- Failed Champion was actually the hardest for me. I one-shot Soul Tyrant somehow… Grey Prince Zote was kinda dumb but it was a bit easier than FC for me I think… Lost Kin was dumb until I equipped Grimmchild to take care of the infection floating things and then it was a piece of cake. I’m waiting to fight Grimm until I have all the Unbreakable charms because I don’t want to accidentally banish the Troupe :P.

Encountering the Massive Moss Charger late game and killing it with 3 spells and two nail hits was probably my favorite thing ever xD I beat Crystal Guardian on my first attempt too (Not Enraged though, not even close) and Hive Knight.

Hiveblood saved my White Palace run, and now that I have Void Heart I’m back in the black egg- I got the ending where

Spoiler

Hornet dies D: Sealed Siblings

And am working on fighting the Radiance now.

I’m very happy that the Hollow Knight isn’t even a hard boss to one attempt now

Beating Grimm doesn't banish the bug that gives you the unbreakables. She stays behind until you get all of them.

Good luck with Radiance! She's a pretty tough boss.

Ah, ok.

Thanks! My first attempt I made it to when the floor started getting spiked in half and glowing balls were being shot at me, but idk how far along that is

Edit: I DID IT

Is the Dream No More ending the only one there?

Double posting but I don’t care because I beat the Path of Pain!!

It seriously took me 6 hours across 2.5 days and was pretty much as bad as I thought it’d be. Charms were Hiveblood/Grubsong/Longnail/Quick Slash/Voidheart

The only thing that kept me going was that with each attempt I could see myself progressing. The difference between dying here and dying there was actually really motivating because it was visual proof that I actually could do it.

The reward itself is a bit disappointing but the satisfaction is enough of a reward by itself

[NameIess]

Well, I finished all the achievements. All that's left is godmaster content.

[Mat he/him]

109% on my main save... I have left to do:

• Pantheon of the Knight
• Trial of the Fool
• Nightmare King Grimm

Alternatively I could banish the Troupe but... I don't want to :P.

[revelryintheart she/her]

I finally beat the game and I got the sealed siblings ending which I did NOT want to get

but

its fInE
