You'll be fine. As the game gets more difficult, you get better too. A lot of the hardest things are optional but by that point, you'll be loving it so much that you'll WANT to do them.I finally got around to starting this. Reading this thread my struggles in the first few hours do not bode well for what lies ahead
Yeah it's never unfair, just a bit of trial and error. The mortar spewing dude in forgotten crossroads is seriously kicking my arse though.
Get used to it. It's the theme of the whole game. Get you ass kicked. Learn. Beat them and you won't remember why you ever lost in the first place.
Oh you sweet summer child...
Yes, that's definitely the case with most bosses.
Welcome to the point where a lot of people end up quitting. I was one of them, I quit at the Soul Sanctum. But trust me once you beat him, you'd be kicking his ass with your eyes closes. It's an excellent fight for that point in the game.I best him now. Decided to focus on only dodging him without attacking for a while then slowly worked in a hit here and there.
Haha yeah you'd think you've finished a boss fight so you can roam around in peace for two mins. Nah here's a bunch of follies spawning in the whole room.I was super pumped and stupidly died twice in a row on a dumb normal enemy soon after and lost all the geo it got me
It was after this point that I fell in love with the game.
I did... Then was wondering around and died... Then died again and lost all my 6000 geo. I was so close to quitting at that point
Sell it when you are sure about buying something. That acts as your personal bank. Currency that can't be lost when you die.
Yes I did that tooI did... Then was wondering around and died... Then died again and lost all my 6000 geo. I was so close to quitting at that point
Brilliant run overall. Been wanting to watch this, saw bits of it. Looking forward to it, love seeing those things that I wouldn't even think of. I actually love watching randomisers, it's a lot of fun and high chance of shenanigans and jank especially if you're also doing enemy rando but something like item rando is also fun. Need to get into actually playing one of those but haven't bought it for my laptop yet.Been a long while since a caught a live stream but pretty much sat through the last 3-4 hours of this. They didn't get Mantis Claw till around 4 hours into the run which had them going through all kinda of rooms (including White Palace and PoP!) without the claw. Both reb0 and rel were streaming, I was obviously watching the reb0 one and he just attempted one crazy skip after another to compensate for no claw. It's insane how much he could improvise on the spot in terms of figuring out exact pixels and timing and actually got a few skips done. And then the last hour or so looking for Black egg and never finding it anywhere.
If you're struggling with Grimm I would stop doing P3 runs and just go practice him in the hall of gods. He's that type of boss that seems hard but becomes trivial with a good amount of practice.
They're amazing. Room randos in a game that's already a maze like this is utterly mental. I can't think of a crazier test of memory than keeping track of paths including all the hidden rooms. I tried a lot to follow them but it was just crazy and I almost felt they were cheating when they were able to retrace the routes. While at the same focussing on traversal without one of the primary movement ability.
Description says Bonebottom, which is a Silksong location. After looking it up, it appears to be the first town and hub location, similar to Dirtmouth.
I've listened to that video quite a bit myself. HK really has amazing music for any mood. Didn't know that bit was from bonebottom though. This just makes me want Silksong even more, can't wait to hear what Larkin has come up with next.
It really is an amazing game and as someone who googled a lot of it, I'd suggest figuring it out yourself because that's really part of what makes it special and there's always the caf to ask what to do next without spoiling too much. And yea, like you said, wasting a bit of time wandering about thinking what to do next really is part of it and sometimes you discover completely new things while doing that. And if all else fails there's always Elderbug.
I've mostly been doing it without the help of Google. If I struggle with a boss I just come back when I'm stronger. Except for the Watcher Knights. Had to use a tactic I read online. Aside from them all the bosses have been challenging but fair.
You can now go to White Palace. Enjoy.
I didn't do colo 3 until I'd long since beaten the game, it's definitely a challenge. And enjoy what the awoken dream nail gives you access too :P
What does if give access to other than the White Palace? I've done the base. Trying Trying wrap up the dream warriors I haven't beaten. Surprised my completion is still 93% given I just found two new charms and beat the Soul Tyrrant. Doubt I'll be getting it up very high (lol) as I'm not much of a completionist.
Let us know if you do, mods are the one thing I miss having a PC for.
Awoken Dream Nail is only for White Palace. But your final essence milestone is at 2400.
And explore the side area of course, for a fantastic reward at the end.Got to 2200 now. One more dream boss should do it
Genuinely don't know where the side area was. The platforming was brilliant though. Really really loved it. When a game like Celeste makes platforming the core mechanic it gets boring but when it's given in dozes as it is in HK it works really well especially the stuff in the white palace.Enjoy the White Palace, that soundtrack.
Lol, sorry
It's pretty much impossible to find unless you know where it is. You access it by jumping through a bit of wall with zero indication there's anything behind, unlike the visibly breakable walls you see in other areas. I guess they really didn't want players to access it accidentally, and rightly so.
I feel I'm done with the game. I'd say I'm an average level player at this one and while it's been such a brilliant experience, not really seeing the point in playing further given I don't bother with trophies/completionist-ism on any game. Any real incentive to play stuff like the hall of gods/grimme ? Mainly the challenge of it right?It's pretty much impossible to find unless you know where it is.

I got to 107% and I'm not very good so I think that's doable for most people. Anything beyond that is for crazy nutters. There skill needed for that last 5% is beyond me I reckon. It's just for challenge sake I think.
