I still never beat radiance lol

Radiance turned out to be pretty easy for me. Felt like his moves were much easier to memorize. Still took me a few hours, but nightmare king grimm took me DAYS. I couldn't time his moves for shyt. It was getting infuriating. I was convinced I was never gonna do it. But I just stopped focusing on beating him altogether and just taking it move by move. Don't trip on winning. Just learn one move at a time. Timing. Distance. Patterns. Once I really locked in I was able to beat him. Maybe that's why I beat radiance much easier. NKG forced me to lock the fukk in. My reflexes were crazy after that.

But that's what I love about hollow knight. The bosses force you enter a flow state. If you lose focus even for one moment it's a wrap. If the bosses weren't so fun it would just feel cheap. But the atmosphere of the game makes it enjoyable. And the payoff is always worth it. So I'm hoping they came correct with the boss fights again.

$20 for the main game is excellent. But I'm sure they are going to get us with several DLCs. It wouldn't surprise me if the full game will be eventually $70.

Either way, they got my money. I'll pay $100 for the full game.

.... the game that drops in couple days will probably be half of the whole thing . . . .. the back-end will be split into DLC "chapters" for 9.99 each - maybe four or five of them total . . . .. kind of like a pre-planned "live-service" schedule . . .

Did you beat Zote? This bytch ass mf defeated me

Grey prince zote?....yea. I remember quick slash being big for me in that fight. Quick slash is one of my favorite charms period. Can do so much more damage. Especially vs Zote. He's so fast that you need to be able to hit him as quickly as possible. Just keep pogo'ing on his head when he rushes you, then hit him with combos when he has to reset. Shaman stone is big too. Makes your spells way stronger. Can hit him with shade soul from a distance when you have time.

But you just gotta experiment with different charms according to your play style. I think being patient is the best way to beat him. Let him come to you and don't force it. Mastering the pogo on his head is prolly the biggest factor in beating him though. Makes the fight way easier.

What if the events of Silksong happen in Hornet's dreams and we find out at the end of the game?

Who is Hollow Knight? Is Silksong really a sequel?

I'm ready for the surprises up ahead! Tomorrow can't come soon enough.
