Bugs... easy on the carrots

So what's the new update?
Where are those secret dream fights or whatever?

It's a secret.

386404628

i have those.

You can fight Zote in Bretta's room & The White Defender underneath the area where you fought the Dung Defender initially.

You cheeky bugger

Sweet

You can also acquire a fast travel via your dream nail, just got talk to the Seer. If the Seer is already dead you'll have the ability automaticallyhold down + dream nail to create portal, hold up + dream nail to teleport to it.

As far as the new stag station it's by The Palace grounds past the corpse which leads you into the White Palace

btw. there is a new game+ ?

Ignore my typos I'm a tired bug

Nope. But beating the game unlocks Steel Soul Mode.

There's steel soul, if you are a masochist

Great, I'll need to get back to it, forgot that I only got 98%, better clean it up and check the new stuff

what happen in steel soul ??? OoO

Good luck! I'm personally hoping that Quirrel comes back eventually.

If you die you have to restart the game.

Iron man mode essentially. If you die you restart the game from the beginning. Don't do it user.

HAHAHA that's a no then.... there is some reward tho?

Can you warp to invalidate qrey mourner quest?

Beside achievements related to steel soul mode, no.

Though it easier than most people think.

You get an achievement for beating the game in Steel Soul.
And another one for getting 100%
I'm currently trying to get them.
The good news is dying to a dream boss doesn't count.

well, and how do avoid finishing the game?

cuz in this type of games i always finish it and i wasn't even trying to.

Oh damn, has someone tested this yet?

It's pretty obvious when you're about to fight the final boss. And after you beat it you can just reload the save right before you go in.

well this game IS full of bugs

Is the game worth it? It's on sale right now but not too much. It went down like 5 bucks.

i hope ur right.
i started the final boss in metroid 2 without notice

YES

...

It's one of my favourite games, but that's cause I'm a big Metroidvania fan and this one is really well done.

Its the the most solid metroidvania released this decade. Inb4 that spic lamulana troll shows up.

The final boss is in The Temple of the Black Egg in the first area after dirtmouth, the whole game is spent opening it.

is really painfull to say but is very much like a souls game

Devs did an AMA on reddit

Only in terms of atmosphere and storytelling

well.... i am an idiot cuz i was fighting that so

Holy fuck

very much agree

is there any way to open this gate between fungal wastes and city of tears?

Sounds cool

>Iselda taking up her old warrior mantle in the future?
Paphanada...

Nope

rly nigga?

I'm fairly certain that never opened when I got 100%

Still waiting for the inevitably butchered Switch version so I can play all comfy on my bed before sleep.

kek, good one.

>Grubfather
I hope we get to fight that fat fuck
Or at least they collectively move on to their next form as some kind of NPC

What happens if you teleport out of the black egg when hornet holds hollow knight down?

No, I tried it and the flower just breaks

That's a shame. At least it'll cut down on return time.

aye now i see that connects with the city of tears

I'd give that title to AM2R. The dying mechanic is something that will forever annoy me even if I have died like 3 times, and while this comes to personal preference, the music is not that good. Other than that, it is fantastically well designed and I'm really, really liking it

I wish the Dreamers were actual bosses

Would have been a lot more satisfying getting their seals unlocked if they were bosses, that's for sure

I think we all do. Maybe one of the content packs will change it up.
I think my first was the one that agreed that the dreamers should be awoken and what not, so I wasn't surprised when that wasn't wasn't a boss, but when I came across Herrah the BEAST I was very disappointed that wasn't a boss
Also, I only ever found it one time, but there's a temple like area in the Beast's Den with a bunch of dead spiders in it, and one of them runs off after you explore the area for a bit. Has anyone else found this room/what if anything happens with the spider that runs off?

It would be fine if 1-2 weren't bosses, but at least one of them didn't want the seal broken going off the dialogue after getting the dash cloak.

Also no spider boss in a game about bugs is weird.

is this a.....normal thing?

Tell me about the bugs, why do they wear the masks?

You must be playing an older/GoG version, took the same screenshot when that happened to me.

...

Well they don't, actually. Just the main character and creatures like it.
It's more like an old insect husk being inhabited by semi-sentient, abyssal energy
No mind to think.
No will to break.
No voice to cry suffering.

>that climb up from the abyss after getting the Void Heart

But Hornet wears a mask and she talks, So does Zote.

i fell so angry about this

mantis lords feel so good to fight. can't wait for the dream version

They're not regular vessels

btw do rancid eggs respawn?

Hornet is an exception, she's related to the main character. Even then, it's debatable due to the artstyle
Let me put it this way though, every Vessel wears a mask/husk, but not every bug does
Zote is definitely not a wearing mask though, he has asymmetrically grown horns, and a moving mouthpiece.

So what makes them so special?

zote is a fucking piece of shit and should die in a painfull way for stilling my waifu.

stealing*

I don't think the clusters do, but if you need rancid eggs there's an NPC that sells them in the royal waterways

Every other Vessel failed/broke, and Hornet is the incomplete/imperfect version of the Vessel you play as. She's still very strong due to the circumstance of her birth, though.

I don't know what Zote's deal is, but Hornet was supposed to serve as a "daughter" to one of the Dreamers, so even though she was built the same way she wasn't made with being a Vessel in mind. It's probably also why she doesn't just kill the Hollow Knight herself.

There is one in Deepnest, it is a mix between a mimc and a spider though. I was lucky and it glitched and got stuck in the wall, i could easily kill it
>mfw i realised it was stuck

I just started this game, and I know you're supposed to run around and poke at shit until something moves the story or progression forward, but doing that is only kind of fun early on. I bought all the map stuff, and money just keeps accumulating. Not sure what to do now.

I got the cloak, opened some tunnels and shortcuts... what now?

I agree, and you can literally leave him to die next playthrough.

If you have the dash cloak you can find the wall climb item in the fungal wastes. Save up 1800 for the lumafly lantern so you can interact with dark environments

Okay. Thanks.

maybe it's because you're stinky

>odor of a glorious warrior
>stinky

Don't be scared of the Fungal Wastes just because you don't have a map, you'll get through them in a couple of rooms, move on to another area, and won't come back for a while. is right too, but you don't need to grind for the lantern this early if you don't want to.

I have been playing this game for a while but i still have a lot to go to finish it (i think), when does the story really starts to move forward?
I am on the second fight against Hornet and got to most areas of the game, but everything i got so far was that there used to be a huge kingdom and some sort of catastrophe destroyed it, and the King was almost a deity of sorts

story moves forward after you get the kingseal

It doesn't, it stays in the background for pretty much the entire game. Updates might spell some more stuff out.

ikr?!

Lol

The way the story is presented, and the story itself, it one of the reasons early reviews/players related it to Dark Souls. Just make sure to talk to every NPC, exhaust the dialogue, and check up on them. Especially after you get a mobility upgrade or something, anything you think might trigger a flag.

can't believe my stupid joke became an open discussion of the game.

So this game is going to get the Hornet DLC yes? It won't be re-using all of the hollowed right? Complete new areas? Maybe outside of kingdoms edge to where that mushroom guy was flying to into a desert? Great opportunity to use new buggies like Tarantula hawks, desert tarantula and antlions. Or maybe wet, salty ocean cavern with all the kinds of nasty crustaceans like spider crabs, Mantis shrimp, lobsters or even more non-bug creatures like the Uumuu jellyfish.

Sounds fucking horrendous.
>No mention of difficulty what so ever
>"We want the casual brain dead audience"
Simply epic, no wonder Hollow shite was such a blunder.
>Goes on sale constantly.
>Still barely sells
Even most casuals want nothing to do with it.
How after all of those sales is it still 600k copies from 1 million sold?
That is fucking pathetic.

see
But Hornet and Zote campaigns have been confirmed for awhile.

...

There's a la-mulana thread going on right now, you can shitpost there.

Cool, really hoping for a desert or aquatic themed kingdom, because if anything is more strange, terrifying and disgusting than bugs, it's ocean life.

No info about the midwife in deepnest is pretty upsetting. Kind of hoped the spooky bitch would get something.

zote fucking sucks i want to play as quirrel

Just entered the big city
Jumped on the rafters and went up some elevators
Fighting guard minibosses and the flying one wont die and the gates wont go up
Fukc

>replay game for first time
>effortlessly beat False Knight and Hornet without taking damage
I struggled so much with Hornet the first playthrough

If the Pale King gave the bugs sapience then how come we get bugs that seem to come from far away who have never been to the kingdom before?

How's the enemy variety in this game?
