Omg i thought deepness was easy that might be because I'm used to being overwhelmed but if you don't usually play games like that I understand (not trying to be mean if I am) this was a lot longer than I thought it was gonna be
Ah yes city of tears, in my newer runs I only get there after exploring deepnest and getting all of the shinies that I can in there, then I use tram pass to go just about everywhere except for city of tears until I'm legally required to upgrade my nail
That's actually what I did my first playthrough, somehow. I just.. missed the big acid bridge room, got the Mantis Claw, and with no clear way to go I ended up just wandering around and finding what I thought were cool secrets. I love that this game hides an entire optional area behind being curious enough to try and go back through King's Pass now that you can climb walls, and that's mostly how I ended up in Crystal Peak next instead of City of Tears. I didn't actually reach City of Tears itself until I had the dream nail, went into Deepnest, got Herrah, and took the tram all the way to Ancient Basin so I could climb the broken elevator room.
Yup in city of tears I ended my fist steel soul run. I was going for dreamers and I died. Not by theese big buffed bugs, not watcher knights, but a vegenfly coz I didn't pause a game properly
It's Zote the Mighty! Its the Invincible Fearless Sensual Mysterious Enchanting Vigorous Diligent Overwhelming Gorgeous Passionate Terrifying Beautiful Powerful Grey Prince Zote!
I always know he's going to be gone at some point so whenever I see him I just...sit there for a long ass time and come back as much as I can to say hi. Quirrel my, and apparently everyone else's beloved
Quirrel says that he was a bit scaried to advance, but to me it was a mix of happiness (that I got that far), beauty and sadness, seing all that rain outside. Then getting there and seeing that the place was city of tears
4:25 Or for a more effective tip: Use your ability to look up or down as necessary. Spot a platform that isn't regaled in acid? Free real estate! Really, the only times I've really died to acid was because I was fighting with Mantis Warriors and Youths and kept being hounded off their platforms.
Ok, this is low-key an actually good walk-through, is it for normal, or true ending? Yes, we are entirely willing to bulli you into doing a walk through for the entire game.
2:37 Ah yes, civilian Sly. Totally just a regular shop keeper. There's no way he's strong in any way, shape, or form. That'd be crazy. Haha... Yeah, no... Ever since I fought Sly in the pantheon of the sage. Each time I see him, I get PTSD flashbacks of Sly saying "hHmPh-" before great slashing The Knight in the face...
For some fukin reason I can dance around like a fukin lunatic and kill primal aspids with such ease but when it comes to literally anything other than a primal aspid
I... don't want to admit how long it took me to figure out you could down swing to bounce on the purple shrooms. I don't think I even knew you could down swing period, I think it was even a video I saw which made me realise you could do it.
I spent a good 40 minutes on both the first place I encountered the bounce shrooms and the first place involving the elevators in the City (coming from Fungal Wastes). I’m very competent at orienteering I’m just really bad at recognizing new game mechanics that aren’t spelled out to me.
hi this is very cool! a city of tears guide [derogatory] would be awesome; this is very good content and i Would love to see just how much you can insult players who forget about the watcher knights’ chandelier above! you don't have to make more or feel pressured But i just thought this was very awesome! goodbye :D!
@@Windette honestly? if you weren't making disrespectful guides In Chronological Order of which places show up one after another, crystal peak would be interesting solely because of how much of a pain it is to traverse and how many times it's nearly ended my steelsoul runs whdkdk- city of tears just has A Lot Of Items To Collect and a lot of running around to do- also, lemm needs to get his shit together; c'mon, man, he could At Least get his wallet out sooner :(
I'd say for what it does and how BOTH strength and quick nail REQUIRE nail upgrades to get to the same lvl... Yeah shamans is the strongest single charm upgrade
Do you wanna know how many hours it took me to understand the idea of pogo shrooms? One. One whole hour spent trying to figure out how to get anywhere because I thought I was semi-trapped.
I'm gonna say what I'm pretty sure we're all thinking: the warning at the beginning of these videos are very accurate. Like real talk, been through some shit and now if someone doesn't verbally abuse me at a certain time of day, I'll have what I'm 99% sure is a panic attack. (The 1% being that I haven't been to a doctor.) So I speak no sarcasm when I tell you thank you for making this, it really is a coping mechanism for me. Also yes, I have a problem. But I'm not in a position where I can do much about it.
i appreciate how these videos are actually informative and take the time to explain the most difficult challenges, even tho they are also very funny meme videos :) (also i’m obsessed w how you use the knight’s looking up/down animations to make them emote 🥺)
I had no idea how to get up to that little fellow by the dash master charm! thank you! these are really funny and I cannot wait to see you cover the city, it's such a beautiful area.
The last part with the bridge is harder than it looks my hands are still aching from trying to get to the second part of the platforming. Much like a blunt instument precision isn't always my forte at least I'm in the right direction. Great content as always.
I was terrible at hollow knight when I first started playing and my journey through fungal wastes was no exception. I didn't have too much issue with the acid pools but the exploding wall mushrooms killed me more times than I can count. I also decided to do Mantis Lords on very low equipment and had to walk back from the Queen's Station bench every time I died, losing my shade a few times to some of the normal mantises in Mantis Village. Definitely not a beginner-friendly area !!
2:10 Ngl when I first played HollowKnight I fought this boss before I even got Vengful Sprit… before I met (and died to) the False Knight…. And I beat her second try
I admit, when i first saw the Sporg's *_NO TOUCHY-TOUCHY_* spores i thought i could whack them like the Gulka's projectiles. back then... i was an idiot. i now keep as far a distance as possible away from them... smartly.
Did you just say that earning the respect of the coolest groups in the game by facing off againt their leaders in one of the best boss fights in the entire game *is o p t i o n a l*
7:38 In my many hours stuck in Forgotten Crossroads over a 9 month hiatus after not realizing I could buy a map *AND GPS, I think I forgot how to do this parts.*
Here's something I did for my run of the game, after I got the claw, I grinded to get the lantern, then head to the side dark room in the crossroad area, that's how you can get to the crystal mine before going to city of tears, when I got crystal heart, I headed back to the fungal area and just c-dash past the parkour in the fungal area before city of tears
I remember watching this series to help me through my first HK playthrough, and feeling so smug and accomplished when I had enough geo to buy Shaman's, and when I beat Mantis Lords before going to City of Tears. I also remember dying endlessly to all the harder platforming sections
oh, don’t get me fucking STARTED on fungal waste I WALKED MY ASS JUST A FEW SECONDS AGO INTO FUNGAL WASTE, COMPLETELY NOT SUPPOSED TO WITH A NON-UPGRADED NAIL, THE LITTLE BUGGER IM PLAYING AS PROBABLY DORSNT KNOW DAMN WHAT A CHARM IS- I was just trying to get the damn mantis claw, I was simultaneously watching a walkthrough. So, yes, I am an idiot
Hollow Knight is great because there's so many ways to play and do it all at your own pace. That said, I can't fathom how you got through Greenpath before the gruz mother. It would have never occurred to me to not start with the easiest boss, even if I had managed to read the map in a way that lead me to Greenpath instead of gruz mother first
When I was new I legit missed the mantis lords fight and didn't know of it's existence until I was trying to get the dreamers lmfao, I thought if you fall in the pit you just die
I literally didn’t know about the up and down buttons on the city of tears elevators until I accidentally pressed the down button on the first elevator.
4:27 I was about to say oh, I’ve done this bit before I’m only watching this video for fun and I saw some thing that I missed I proceed to die multiple times
I went too far left, found some berry-bushes praying to god and last thing I know, I am in a deep pit and everything is crawling around me...might have made a misstep.
How to play Hollow Knight:
-Look at your map, if you see empty spots, go there.
-That's it.

Deepnest actually isn't too bad you just gotta be eager to explore and go a little offensive, monarch wings will help a lot and upgrade to coiled nail
Ah yes city of tears, in my newer runs I only get there after exploring deepnest and getting all of the shinies that I can in there, then I use tram pass to go just about everywhere except for city of tears until I'm legally required to upgrade my nail
