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

100%?

[Channelknight Fadran]

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

[NameIess]

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

[dannnex male]

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 he/him]

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

[NameIess]

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.

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

[Channelknight Fadran]

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

[Mat he/him]

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

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 he/him]

I finally figured out how to beat Nosk.

Nice! What spells/nail upgrades did you have?

[The Wandering Wizard he/him]

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.

For Nosk you just sit by that little ledge and upswing, and if he does charge at you, just jump over him and go back. Then just dodge when he goes in the celling. Now he isn't nearly as difficult, but that's what I did my first time.
