What is this? A video that is informative, shows exactly what the title implies, and isn't littered with F-bombs? I've been trying to play this game without using a guide of any kind, but I was missing the Desolate Dive. This video not only got me to it, but along the way I realized I had missed the Nailsmith, too. Very helpful. Thanks.
It’s shocking isn’t it? Sadly I may have to do a top 10 tips for beginners in fortnite in order to grow the channel Haha. (Other shocker is I reply to all the comments)
Aww I think we would make great friends xD I came across those small spiky creatures that expand and float in the air. I explained to my boyfriend hope to avoid them: They bounce towards you, you just need to hit them from a distance. *Immediately bumps into one and rebounds off 3 of them* My boyfriend: just don't bump it. Stop bumping into them. OMG What are you doing!? I swear it's the whole performance anxiety when someone is watching rofl
honestly this whole freaking area was brutally tough for me. I think the reason it was so rough is with all the regular enemies that spawn I would enter into the boss fights with only half health like every time
While the 3 glass soul balls right before the boss likely give most people full health, if you’re coming in almost dead, it would only give you around half health.
I'm new at hollow knight, even though I've had it for 4 months now. Your tutorials are extremely helpful- straight to the point, giving us options and other routes if there is any, and cutting out any unnecessary parts of the video. Thank you! Keep up the good work.
Av0q3do well you see there’s this little strategy I like to call “i suck” you see you equip grubsong, quick focus, and thorns of agony then proceed to run around screaming like the mad lad you are while trying not to die
This video made it very easy for me to beat the Soul Master (first try!). Thank you so much for this tutorial. Good luck to anyone else trying to get Desolate Dive!
Okay so I’ve just been going down the playlist of all these videos and they’ve been helping a lot. Often times when I’m playing I’ll do one thing then be completely clueless as to what to do next and just walk around until I get bored and these prevent that so I just had to give a big thanks real quick.
Sorry that this one is a bit longer. I wanted to make it super clear as to how to get into the City of Tears and how to beat the boss fight at the end. In the dash ability video I cut the boss and made it separate video. Either way I hope that this stop by step guide helped you!
team cherry should include these tutorial videos you made in the game. it's not much fun without them, to be honest. still it's beautiful and interesting game so I want to finish it.
This is the kind of stuff we need! i recently got into this game and your guides have been informative, not misleading, straight to the point, and just helpful. Thank you
The amount of work and love you put in each one of your videos really amazes me. You have truly blessed the community of hollow knight. THANK youu So much. I was also wandering if you already had a Patreon account, I'm sure me and several others would like to show our appreciation.
Thank you so much for the kind words. I’m just a gamer and I make the videos I want to see. Quick, to the point and don’t waste your time. I don’t have a Patreon account. The closest thing is the RUclips membership program. It is the join button near the subscribe button. I appreciate any support even if it is as simple as sharing on reddit or Twitter
im dumb nervous about this fight cause hornet got me so frustrated. mentally preparing for this rematch by watching your vids, thanks for making your content so accessible. I'm a newer gamer so this game is extra extra difficult for me but I've been able to stick with it because of you! thank you!
tip: vegenful spirit with shaman stone(charm sold by salubra) is good for soul master (and every other boss) two good times to heal are the 4 magic spells leaving the screen 13:54 as example and when soul master is deflated 13:24 the final stage only requirs 13 hits to finish soul master
I like to leave the moss fights up the the players. I feel like that is where a lot of the fun is. Getting stuck and lost is just frustrating to me. That’s is why I make these specific videos
@@RelyeaGaming yeah that is totally understandable, and I agree the process of trial and error is the fun part. From Dirtmouth to beating the boss I got 1200 geo, starting with 57
Quick tip: get the Vengeful spirit upgrade because it is helpful and to get another charm just above the entrance to the fight there to reduce soul usage, it is also good to use lb heart/jonis (if you are confident in not needing to heal) and shaman stone is really good with it because you don’t need to only use the nail to fight. First phase hug the entrance and wall to get easy hits second phase just don’t get greedy with hits
My parents say that RUclips won’t make you money as an adult and adults don’t have time for games. You prove them wrong. I love how your content is helpful and you say whatever else you need before you get the thing
You make it look so easy, i cant even make my way to the statue where u put the city crest. I kept on falling on the acid. I suck at this game 😭 Update: I made it!! Omg! After watching ur video i tried again, and holy fishsticks i finally did it 😭 i can finally go to the City of Tears!
I love your videos! Just started playing and when I get stuck I always go to you. I’ve been trying to figure it out on my own but some of the time I just can’t... very thankful for you
For me, SM wasn’t a problem. The only time I died was when I was exploring and had stumbled in on 2 masks. When I actually fought him, I found him to be one of the easiest bosses. I killed him in one try and I’m pretty confident for ST because of how ell I did on the master.
This is getting too frustrating! The boss that grants the Desolate Drive has defeated me over 50 times. While I’m slowly getting better, I haven’t made it to the part where he dives to the floor beneath. This wouldn’t be so annoying if i had a bench closer to him. Tired of treading the same path from Conifers desk. I have my nail upgrade; along with a 3 charms - the soul catcher, the long nail, and steady (because I ran out of notches). The technique I use is to try and get as many hits in as possible without being hit myself (obviously)...then heal when I can. After the third time he recovers, it seems almost impossible to reach him because he keeps teleporting. Am I suppose to hit this guy while he’s taking a breather or what?
Yeah, this walkthrough doesn't work. I need the dash ability to cross over into th fungal wastes, but when I went to his guide on how to get it he claims I need this ability first.
THANK YOU so much!!!!!!!!! I've been watching your videos on this game never played a game like this before and it's starting to be fun when you get all the powers without them it's kinda hard game to play. Thanks again dude
*spoiler* Once you get to a later part in the game you will get a thing called a dream nail. You will need to find dream essence to awaken the dream nail to its final state. The way you gather this dream essence is from these weird looking trees and fighting a harder spirit form of bosses that you already beat. The dung defender, broken vessel, nosk (I think) and a couple others have a spirit form. Ohh and you can also fight a couple of ghosts as well
@@RelyeaGaming Dream nail to be honest was one of the first things i got well was second got Crystal heart first then first nail upgrade then dream nail... I guess just as well order does not really matter in this game. What am finding interesting is the things people are saying are hard for them I am finding easyish the things people are saying was easy for them.... yeah sure... certainly not for me lol
Your video is so helpful! I have been following your episodes. As someone commented, you make it look so easy. Once I figure out how to do wall jump better, I will follow this episode. Thanks!
I feel cheated. My shade was at the spot where you are at 3:00 and I died a bit before that specific spot and right before I got to my shad I died. So now I’m broke and angry
spoiler : If shade is in a horrible spot and yes has been for me too thankfully not always but sometimes if you have Rancid Egg then you can go to Jiji and she if you give her a rancid egg she can call your shade to her location and you get it from there. Only trouble is you have to go all the way back to Dirtmouth. But if have a lot of Geo your going to loose and especially if in early game can be worth it.
The boss guarding the door to the actual boss was literally 10x harder than the soul master. Took me an hour to defeat his sorry ass and the soul master only took me 15 minutes, (minus the dream realm which I’m currently stuck at)
Me: beats the Soul Master in the first phase, starts screaming and crying tears of joy Soul Master: you thought, starts attacking me again Me: rage quits UPDATE I DID IT!!!
I’m glad to hear that I was able to help.For me finding some things were the annoying part that took away from the game. Especially because travel can take so long
Great video. Thank you for telling what we need in the description box below always. It helps alot. Thumps up (gave you one down by accident, . I immediately changed it)
Thank you so much! Soul Master is my fifth boss (i just defeated Broodling Mawlek) i almost beat him first try since his pattern was repetitive and he gave me lots of time to heal, my charms are bad but it's all i got (Lifeblood Charm, Wayward Compass and Soul Catcher)
@@RelyeaGaming actually rn I'm going for the shade cloak ability next. I'm also trying to find a way to increase my health in this game since I've been stuck at 5 hearts all this time.
I’ll tell you this was very difficult I literally almost broke my controller I got so angry lol but I kept firm and was patient lol it might take a few times it took me about an hour just to beat this one boss good video thanks
Thanks! This is really helpful even tho im still struggling to kill that mini boss that shoots those projectiles and jumps from the ceiling and the other crap lol.
Yeah they are annoying because the more damage you do they more they teleport. If you try to skip them the soul worriers will just follow you and then you have to deal with 3+ of them.
@@RelyeaGaming you are really dedicated to RUclips not once have i seen someone reply to thousands of comments every video. You have helped me through so much of hollow knight as well and i want to say thank you
For those who have problem with beating the boss i would recommend u to get shadow dash because whenever you shadow dash into his projectiles you dont take damage and destroy them i beat him first try by that which is kinda funny cuz i was avoiding him the most because felt like i am gonna die to him a lot.
You're so helpful. I'm playing this game rn 3:10 Eastern it's Tuesday Sept 18th. NJ wooop! Thanks for helping me aquire all my power ups this game is so confusing to me but I'm obsessed and constantly lost lol ur my hero! :3
I recommend you get your sixth mask before going to city of tears. You can get these mask shards by sometimes beating bosses and saving caterpie or, finding them in the wild.
You can hit those white jars to get the white liquid ball on the top left corner to fill up to use spells or heal they look like background but they are useful.
Thanks again mate. Your videos are terrific in the way you show what needs to be done, without necessarily holding our hands. Easily my favourite kind of how-to! I am completely crap at these Metroidvania style games due to nerve damage/reduced feeling & hopeless fine motor functions in my hands, so everything takes a lot longer, but I'm happy to say that I got through the first phase in one go before getting killed by this particular boss. I'll give him another go tonight when I finish work. Even though it is tough, I get so much enjoyment out of this wonderful game. Made by Aussies! We Rule (Yup, I'm taking credit just because I'm Australian too :) )!
Man, the soul sanctum is such a well constructed place with very fair enemies & has a good amount of save points, it’s not the most difficult roguelike I’ve ever played.

The dive opens up a lot of cool places for sure. Eventually you will be able to find the quick slash charm which is really helpful
I thought quick slash was in kingdoms edge and you needed desolate dive to get through a breakable wall near the nail master

Movie magic. I just did a jump cut mid hit just to finish him off quickly.
Just started playing hollow knight on ps4. How its not rated higher then dead cells or celeste is beyond me.

Thank you very much for the positive feedback. Let me know if you need help anywhere and I will do my best to help out
The wall jump is a pretty hard to master I just got it and I am in PC.
The controls can take a bit to get use to because there is so much freedom in the platforming. It is super easy to hit spikes or other obstacles
The door didn’t open
The soul mater was the most difficult boss I’ve encountered aside from failed champions
Champion
I feel cheated. My shade was at the spot where you are at 3:00 and I died a bit before that specific spot and right before I got to my shad I died. So now I’m broke and angry
Ohh no! That platforming spot is one of the first difficult ones you come across. Just wait until the path of pain...
Relyea it wasn’t that hard though
spoiler :
If shade is in a horrible spot and yes has been for me too thankfully not always but sometimes if you have Rancid Egg then you can go to Jiji and she if you give her a rancid egg she can call your shade to her location and you get it from there. Only trouble is you have to go all the way back to Dirtmouth. But if have a lot of Geo your going to loose and especially if in early game can be worth it.
The boss guarding the door to the actual boss was literally 10x harder than the soul master. Took me an hour to defeat his sorry ass and the soul master only took me 15 minutes, (minus the dream realm which I’m currently stuck at)

Oh, wow, I thought I'll be stuck on this one for months. After your video I've tried 2 times and on the 3rd I've beaten him. Woohoo!
I just wanted to say thank you for creating videos like this.
just started playing Hollow Knight and I've been watching your tutorials. Really helpful man
this helped a lot. took me a few tries to defeat soul master but i got it eventually. thanks for the guide
well done on your win!
@@RelyeaGaming tysm
I’m really glad the lever you need to use to go down the elevator just doesn’t work. Really awesome.
Thank you so much! Soul Master is my fifth boss (i just defeated Broodling Mawlek) i almost beat him first try since his pattern was repetitive and he gave me lots of time to heal, my charms are bad but it's all i got (Lifeblood Charm, Wayward Compass and Soul Catcher)
thanks so much! this really help and i suprised myself by beating him first try!
Even though this boss was such a pain I managed to defeat it thanks to your video! :) Now I can watch your crystal heart video next.
So glad to hear it!
@@RelyeaGaming actually rn I'm going for the shade cloak ability next. I'm also trying to find a way to increase my health in this game since I've been stuck at 5 hearts all this time.
Thank you. I was having a hard time maneuvering around the world of hollow knight.
It is hard to get around until you have some specific abilities
Thanks Relyea I need to get these abilities but it's hard for me so I appreciate your work it helps a lot for me.
Happy to help
This is very helpful i got all the abilities i need because of your tutorial videos, Thanks!
thank you i have been following your video on Hollow Knight very help
I’ll tell you this was very difficult I literally almost broke my controller I got so angry lol but I kept firm and was patient lol it might take a few times it took me about an hour just to beat this one boss good video thanks
Thanks dude you make the best hollow knight guides
Thank you for that. I do my best!
Thank you for this video! Sometimes I need to see that it IS possible and how! And thanks for keeping it clean for us family players…
Giving me nostalgia playing this again bc i still can’t wait for Silk Song
Thanks! This is really helpful even tho im still struggling to kill that mini boss that shoots those projectiles and jumps from the ceiling and the other crap lol.
Yeah they are annoying because the more damage you do they more they teleport. If you try to skip them the soul worriers will just follow you and then you have to deal with 3+ of them.
@@RelyeaGaming oh man im running out of soul oh im so worried lol
*WARNING, internet doesnt know how to take a joke, I was kidding, WARNING*

Woah this guy replys to almost every comment props to you
I do my best. I am slowing down a bit as 3.5 years of making videos means lots of videos and comments coming in.
@@RelyeaGaming you are really dedicated to RUclips not once have i seen someone reply to thousands of comments every video. You have helped me through so much of hollow knight as well and i want to say thank you
Thank you Man
I appreciate your guides
Thanks for the tips . Going for my first playthrough
For those who have problem with beating the boss i would recommend u to get shadow dash because whenever you shadow dash into his projectiles you dont take damage and destroy them i beat him first try by that which is kinda funny cuz i was avoiding him the most because felt like i am gonna die to him a lot.
Great tip
Doenst shadows dash requires cristal hear or monarch wings?
You're so helpful. I'm playing this game rn 3:10 Eastern it's Tuesday Sept 18th. NJ wooop!
Thanks for helping me aquire all my power ups this game is so confusing to me but I'm obsessed and constantly lost lol ur my hero! :3
I had some issues in the game and couldn’t find a single good tutorial that I liked. It was all like streams. I’m just glad I could help you
Thank you for making these vids. I just got back into Hollow Knight and your vids are definitely helping!
Glad to help you with your game time
@@RelyeaGaming how come o can’t use the elevator at 4:41
I recommend you get your sixth mask before going to city of tears. You can get these mask shards by sometimes beating bosses and saving caterpie or, finding them in the wild.
Thanks so much, I've been stuck for hour's
You can hit those white jars to get the white liquid ball on the top left corner to fill up to use spells or heal they look like background but they are useful.
your guides are really very very helpful...full of tips and step by step
Thanks for this. I definitely will NOT get through in that quick a go, but now I know what to do.
I spread a lot of the video up. It would be impossible to go that quick. But at least now you know where to go!
Thanks again mate. Your videos are terrific in the way you show what needs to be done, without necessarily holding our hands. Easily my favourite kind of how-to!
I am completely crap at these Metroidvania style games due to nerve damage/reduced feeling & hopeless fine motor functions in my hands, so everything takes a lot longer, but I'm happy to say that I got through the first phase in one go before getting killed by this particular boss. I'll give him another go tonight when I finish work.
Even though it is tough, I get so much enjoyment out of this wonderful game.
Made by Aussies! We Rule (Yup, I'm taking credit just because I'm Australian too :) )!
Australians are the best. One day I want to go visit. Just such an expensive flight!
thx for this i just got to the soul sanctum but i didnt know where to go all i knew was that i needed to beat the giant spell twister
i love your videos since you dont really do it for the 15 minute mark but just for the tips and gameplay
I try to make it so you can get back to your game time as quickly as possible
Man, the soul sanctum is such a well constructed place with very fair enemies & has a good amount of save points, it’s not the most difficult roguelike I’ve ever played.
