Hollow Knight tips/thread

Hello /v
Just bought this game and so far still I didn't had the time to properly test it out, just got out of the intro zone, like 5 minutes gameplay.

It seems so simple but I like simplicity in these games, anyway... I'm at work right now, so asking you, any beginner tips that won't spoil the story? There are those small boney coins, worth spending early or save for some good stuff?

Also, hollow knight thread if you feel it so

you can aim up and down

also there is a lot of stuff to buy, there's no point saving up tons and tons.

Hourly Hollow Shill thread

...

Switch release when?

...

...

Have they fixed the horrendous performance issues on older hardware?

I have an old laptop that can run Ori like butter but this chugs at

truuu

no but you'll probably get some anecdotal yes answers

OP here, well honestly I didn't mean to shill the game, I usually walk other boards here on chan, and I bought this as it is on sale, that's it.

But since I don't have much time to play games, let alone do replays, I was just curious if there is some tip to not do the frustrated save cancel and roll all over again for some stupid shit.

That is all really

>many enemies will only respawn when you use a bench. only minor enemies respawn when you leave a room
>you can quit to menu and reload game to warp back to the last bench you used
only tips I can think of. just have fun exploring and avoid spoilers

That seems pretty useful, thanks. On death what you lose?

when you die, you lose all your geo, leave behind a "shade", and get sent back to the last bench. but if you can make it back to your shade without dying again, you can kill it to get your geo back

jesus christ that's horrifying

Nice to know, that's useful to not lose coins.

Are there ranged weapons?

You'll get a charm later on that'll let you throw sword beams but only if you full health.

there is a ranged spell that costs soul, so there's a tradeoff with healing

Thanks for all replies. Any more tips? Early on items? Thanks.

Wow! You mean to tell me that one of the best games of the year got multiple threads around the time it got released? And its all a big conspiracy to get people to buy it? Holy shit my mind is __kys.

what the fuck do i do after i kill the false knight?

Buy Simple keys if you see them.

Probably the quill and location charm. I think both are like 360geo or something. It will show you where you are on the map and update it as you go.

You get the spell?

did you enter the building in the room to the left of him?

There's a guy you can find in the first area who will sell you useful shit like a lantern that I went without forever

>made it through a large chunk of Deepnest with no lantern
>just thought that's how it's supposed to be

any time now before la mulana fags ruin this thread

yes
what spell?

The spell you get when you talk to the dude in the house left of where you fought False Knight.
Did you even play the game?
