@R1spam anytime! And you're right about the map. I was exploring the Royal Waterways today and got an upgrade that gave me the ability to swim in the acid. While doing so in that area I actually came across a secret shortcut that led to the Forgotten Crossroads. In the same gaming session I found a path that connected the Fungal Wastes to Fog Canyon and then by accident found a completely new area! There is so much to do in this game I am still exploring areas in the early areas. I found a few new areas (and a boss) in the Forgotten Crossroads, and am currently trying to explore the rest of Greenpath. I highly recommend you go back to previous areas and try to completely explore them.
@Thrillho no I haven't! Still looking. I know the pale ore is somewhere, and so I'm just going through the areas exploring the places I previously could not access. Finished Forgotten Crossroads (I think) other than the tram, but I don't have the tram pass yet. Now in Greenpath.
Thank you for the hint, however.
Beat the final boss with a main completion of 92% and time of 49 hours and 37 minutes. Just over a week of the month left, so I’m pretty happy with that. I wasn’t expecting the game to become my main focus, but became quite hooked. I spent much of Saturday in an area called the White Palace, which was opened using an upgraded dream nail. The platforming in there is intense and I couldn’t get though the third main floor, which was slightly disappointing as I had managed the ones before.
Excellent game that I thoroughly enjoyed playing, even if it was perhaps a little bloated towards the end. I liked that it was skill based, but not unfair, although would be lying if I said some of the bosses aren't quite tricky challenges. Especially the Mantis Lords, which I did not realise were optional and had not upgraded my health or nail at that stage. Great music, sound design and atmosphere that enhance the experience. I think I’ll buy the soundtrack!
@Thrillho I might give it a look, although from what I've read it sounds rather difficult. Where on the map do I find it? I got an ending where he absorbed the Hollow Knight's essence and was locked up in his place. It seems like a not particularly good ending. I couldn't beat the White Palace to get the other half of the kingsoul so reckon a better ending will elude me. There was also a scene at the end of the credits with the weird mushroom blasting off like a rocket and it said "to be continued".
It is certainly endgame/late game stuff and the final boss fight is up there with some of the Souls games for how I felt when I finally beat them. I’ve posted the vid of me doing it on here before as I was so chuffed with myself when I did it.
As for endings;
Yeah, that’s the worst one! A lot of the endings are linked to getting the Void Heart which also allows you to fight the true final boss as well.
@Thrillho Cheers for the link. That really is completely out there! What’s worse is I think I found the area much earlier in the game and completely forgot. Anyhoo I started the DLC, collected the flame things and then attempted the Grimm boss. Although I loved the core game, I think that now I’ve completed it it feels about right to move on as I’m quite satisfied with what I got out of the game.
Made a bit more progress today! Almost at the first dreamer in Deepnest which I got way closer than normal to through an area I genuinely didn’t see my first playthrough, Queen’s Gardens. I picked up a key which unlocks... something so I’ll need to look around in another area. Really cool how I’ve found an optional area that I had no clue about! I also have another pale ore so going to grab my third nail upgrade.
I seem to have accidentally started The Grimm Troupe. From the sounds of it online, 99% of players needed to look up how to do it so I guess I got extremely lucky in stumbling across it!
@R1spam@Trisque Just to let you know that we have roughly a week until the end of the month but I like to start games at the weekend so do you both think you’ll have finished by the 3rd at the latest?
@nessisonett will try my best!! Being honest can't see me finishing the dlc but chance of finishing the main game by then. If not, I'll still keep plugging away at it anyway and go on without me! The gameplay is so enjoyable. Also keen to try doom 2016 and understand its much shorter than hk, I've just been busy at work etc
@nessisonett I don't think I will be done by the end of the month. I'm taking my time with Hollow Knight, and really enjoying that approach (I believe some people here have already finished the game, and I'm still exploring areas in Greenpath). I already played DOOM 2016 so I think I'll sit the next month out!
Everybody who’s up for playing DOOM 2016, this is your call to buy/download in time for the weekend! We’ll be getting started on Saturday and should all be done for Halloween, when we’ll get started on Resident Evil 2. If you’ve been missed by the tag-athon, please feel free to just drop a message if you’re interested and I can add you to my tag list too.
