    The beauty of this is Hollow Knight is essentially a game of exploration, like Breath of the Wild or Metroid, but then you find these top level platforming sections out of nowhere. And the gameplay mechanics are exquisitely finetuned.
    It also has some of the best boss fights you can find in any video game, and there're are a ton of them. The Colloseum, Final Boss and King Grimm are some highlights, but you can also to play secret bosses and hard version of the bosses after you finish the game, for endless amount of fun & content.

      Yea he definitely has mark of pride equipped, possibly the one that gives more soul for taking damage as well but not sure on that. Also im pretty sure he knew how to heal, i mean its one button lol and if he was still this good at the game i dont see how he’d somehow “forget” that. Was probably just for engagement and it seems to have worked well.
