1:29 you can have sword beams if you equip the Grubberfly's Elegy charm while at full health, and can be reactivated with Fury of the Fallen at 1 health
they're really good for maximizing damage when you can only get one or two hits in. in the Grimm fight I use them frequently, mostly great slash and dash slash. cyclone slash is meeeh way more situational @@RoryAych
Quite hard, specially on the first playthrough. But the experience is totally worth it. From the characters to the wordbuilding, from the mechanics to the aesthetic, everything is near perfect.
BUY IT IT IS HARD I DROPPED IT PICKED IT BACK UP A FEW YEARS LATER AND THE GAME IS SUDDENLY EASY TAKE SOME TIME TO LEARN THE COMBAT, MOVEMENT, AND THE WORLD THIS GAME IS DAMN NEAR PERFECT
To me your critique of Elden Ring boils down to "I can't easily read the boss and thus the combat is bad", Elden Rings bosses are completely readable, to the point where just one slight change of direction, or the slight tilt of their weapon, can tell you exactly what they're going to do, even what their whole combo will be, it's not easy at all and I think you're just more used to the not simpler, but different way the more cartoonish games do it, love the video Edit: I should mention that I tried Hollow Knight once and I got my ASS BEAT by the common enemies, I just wasn't used to how the game looks or how it plays since I've grown up playing dark souls and now Elden Ring, we all struggle with new things
Glad you like the video! I agree, Elden Ring is doing something *different* than Hollow Knight, and it succeeds at what it's trying to do. But a TON of people compare these games like their combat is equivalent and that is... not the case! So my point was both that these games have very different approaches to combat and that I just like HK's systems better. Interesting that you had the same experience but in the opposite direction lol
oh my god. HOW DO YOU ONLY HAVE 30 SUBS? you're so underrated like damn
Thank you!! I only just started making videos, so this is my first one to hit the algorithm in any way. I'm glad people are liking my stuff :)
Awesome video!! Awesome analisys off of a brilliant aspect of hollow Knight.
Thank you! Glad you enjoyed :)
babe wake up new Rory video
Very good quality video, thanks!
Great video!
Amazing video 👏👏

Almost forgot about that! It's very endgame content though, not really useful during a playthrough
true, just thought I'd give new players a heads up
@@RoryAych So very endgame.
You can lean a Heavy attack tho. There a different npcs spreaded thru Hollownest, that will teach you „nail Arts“.
Yeah but I've never met anyone that seriously uses it. It's a lot different than like Dark Souls, where you're constantly switching between the two

@@ihopeyouandicanbefriends Oh yeah, I'm pretty sure I used them for my first NKG win. Still pretty situational though ¯\_(ツ)_/¯
imma buy hollow knight, is it hard?
