@@GinKendou then get fragile strenght it buffs your nail dmg, but if you die while equipping it, the charm breaks and to fix you gotta go back to leg eater and pay some geo, with that being said you can upgrade the charm to be unbreakable but ill leave that out, all i can say is explore and interact with npcs
you did not unlock the alternate ending, you need to explore some other areas that you couldnt access because you didnt have shade cloak, and THEN go back to get the alternate ending stuff
Some pointers for getting the other ending/endings. Now that you have shade cloak go to the queen's gardens (west of greenpath) Collect more essence to upgrade your dream nail. The best way to do this is by fighting dream bosses as they give a ton of essence. You could start by fighting the dream boss for false knight. You will have to dream nail that one knight in the ancient basin and do some really easy platforming that shouldn't be challenging at all. After all of that you must return to the void and face your past.
@@minizeequeen711 I’d recommend with tips on videos like this to try and keep specific details on what to do to a minimum, generally people want to try to explore and find stuff on their own. IMO you should probably be just specific enough with advice that it puts them on the right track to find out but vague enough that it doesn’t completely remove the need to explore a bit for themselves in order to decipher what you’re saying
Don’t you dare think for even a moment that you’re already done with the game :D there’s a lot more to do for you (we want to see you do) in the game. Just a couple things (most likely missing a couple things): - optional areas such as The Hive & Queen’s Gardens - Colosseum (&behind) - Upgrade Weapon to max & collect all fragments, Charms, Grubs (Flower quest), nail arts - Zote, Mr. Mushroom & alternate endings - White Palace & Path of Pain (!!!) - Dream Bosses
Your new dash allows you to go through the black pillars that were blocking your way before, so there's quite a bit more for you to explore now. I recommend looking at the markers you placed and going back to them
So disappointed yt didn't recommend me so many of the other videos after the first few- but glad I'm here for this. Essence is key for the other endings :)
congratulations, ginken, you finally beat this game. and with that, we're both around the same pace again. you haven't explored with shade cloak while i haven't fought grimm yet. im looking forward to the other endings
Bro, I watched your first couple hollow knight videos, and I hadent seen your channel since, and it just got recommended and im so happy I found you again! lettssssss gooo
Feeling terrible from sickness, but seeing this video made me feel a bit better ❤ Congrats on your first ending! Looking forward to you finding the other endings :D There's still more bosses for you to check out, and areas that you couldn't reach before now is accessible thanks to your Shade Cloak. Hope you do well and have fun! (And for some endings, I suggest you fight almost all the Dream Bosses :) )
Max completion percentage is 112% indeed, but worth noting is that not everything gives percentages points. There are a number of things, both minor and major, that don't contribute even a single percentage to that count. Two of the game's hardest challenges, Pantheon 5 and Path of Pain, both don't actually give a completion percentage. That being said, 112% is still not easy to achieve and many people end up getting gatekept at 111% by one boss in particular, which I'll refer to as PV. PV is actually my favorite boss in the game, but it is certainly a challenge. I'd like to see you eventually complete it, because I think the boss (and a couple special bosses you can only access after beating it) are worth it, though. To unlock the other endings you'll need 2 items, one can be found behind one of those black gates you now can pass, the other requires completing all but 1 of the Seer's essence milestones (though I'd recommend completing the final one too). Once you have those 2 items you'll then gain access to a special location, where you'll get my favorite moment in the whole game and the item that unlocks 2 more endings and locks you out of the one you just got. There are 2 more endings as well, but those require completing pantheon 5 in godhome, which is easily the hardest challenge in the game, so most players never get them.
I feel like the music should be a little louder, especially for boss fights like these. It's very quiet, practically inaudible. Takes away from the fight.
I just lost a 5h Steel Soul (Deathless) run to a random vine in Greenpath I do not recommend Steel Soul unless you have an incredible patience, because I’ve had to do the same 5h of gameplay several times
Use shade dash in queeens garden , u will find a new boss and new untold story of the QUEEN OF HOLLOWNEST , this is will help in game completion. Theres a secret area in royal waterways , which unlocks a new DLC , u can try that too. Or go around to collect 1600 dream nail essence to open up ANOTHER NEW AREA of ANCIENT HOLLOWNEST.
I feel like it's much easier to just equip all the charms that give you blue health, not much risk of taking damage from the bench compared to going around the map to collect them
a little bit o lore: all of the vessels are voiceless, so all that roaring you hear in the fight isn't the hollow Knight
Indeed the roaring sound is from the radiance
@@jonathanbaer8615spoiler dawg 🙏🏻
@@jonathanbaer8615 its supposed to be a hint no need for the spoilers 🙏
I like how the HK actually does do a silent scream right before releasing from the chains
Buffing itself? No... it's trying to kill itself and the infection within... ;-;
Equips pure spell build, proceeds to barely use any spells. Perfect
I still got that Fromsoft dawg in me (I'm just braindead)

u still got alottt more and even another ending more intense than the hollow knight

The platforming was so easy I kept doing it over and over again for hours because it was so *fun*

That easy platforming took me months to complete
Because you went incredibly slowly to savor the wonderful map design and enjoy the calming, not at all stressful parkour, right?
There is also a breakable wall to access even more easy fun platforming for a reward that is totally worth it
1:54 112% is the max also beating the hollow knight without shade soul is impressive
Please please PLEASE don’t forget to break the second wall in the Colosseum i have been saying this for so long
Also really good video!
R.I.P. the hollow knight

LESGOOOOO
Your new dash allows you to go through the black pillars that were blocking your way before, so there's quite a bit more for you to explore now. I recommend looking at the markers you placed and going back to them
You also have two blue marks that are on some of the void gates, which you can now go through with your upgraded dash! Great video as always :3
So disappointed yt didn't recommend me so many of the other videos after the first few- but glad I'm here for this. Essence is key for the other endings :)
How dare you changing beautiful Hollow Knight music to gorgeous Nier Automata music?!
a boss who gets weaker (and not stronger) as the fight goes on seems like an interesting idea
It's even cooler if you know the lore. My favorite boss fight for that reason.
congratulations, ginken, you finally beat this game. and with that, we're both around the same pace again. you haven't explored with shade cloak while i haven't fought grimm yet. im looking forward to the other endings
For the blue stone door u need 14 (15 if using joni's blessing) lifeblood hearts for it to open
New ginken video!
The path of pain is waiting
Pain*
light grey stained glass pane reference?
With how much he struggled with this, I know he'll have a hard time with
You have to find 2 half's of a item to progress
Bro, I watched your first couple hollow knight videos, and I hadent seen your channel since, and it just got recommended and im so happy I found you again! lettssssss gooo
4:05 Quick to react to? Bro hasn’t seen the Pantheon version of him
Also in my opinion once he starts stabbing himself its basically gg because that phase is pretty easy(he stops using half of his attacks)
@@Mewter_YT prime form still give me nightmares.
Yeah after beating literally every boss in the game hitless (well beating buffed versions of them hitless), the Hollow Knight looks so slow
Feeling terrible from sickness, but seeing this video made me feel a bit better ❤ Congrats on your first ending! Looking forward to you finding the other endings :D

Wow, the Hollow Knight was beating the void out of you. I can't wait to see you defeat the real ending.
Chat I was here (can't wait for the DLC)
17:50
Hint : it has something to do with blue masks
how could you 😭
LET'S GO NEW VIDEO! Also the max percentage is less than 120 percent (I won't spoil it).
(More than 100%)
Lol, 112% isn't a spoiler
@@snarpking ye but anyone can get 100% and think that beat the game
I feel like the music should be a little louder, especially for boss fights like these. It's very quiet, practically inaudible. Takes away from the fight.
take a bath where you probably shouldn’t 😊
Pluh
In my opinion devs made the hollow knight soooo ez for the final boss they could've at least made it harder
6:48 how does he know about NKG, he didnt even fight him yet
lol I missed that! He just said Nightmare King Grimm for no reason
His soundtrack is peak, I know him from that
@@GinKendou ah I see, I hope you get to fight him at some point and enjoy it :3
this isnt the only ending btw
Finally, it's over...
I just lost a 5h Steel Soul (Deathless) run to a random vine in Greenpath
I do not recommend Steel Soul unless you have an incredible patience, because I’ve had to do the same 5h of gameplay several times
I lost one of mine to the hollow knight because I was too used to fighting PV
random vine in greenpath lol
The full completion is 112% not 120%
Also now that you got shadow cloak you can dash through those black wall thingies
:3
You are still missing a lot of things for the ending, just explore and do stuff
LorE
Use shade dash in queeens garden , u will find a new boss and new untold story of the QUEEN OF HOLLOWNEST , this is will help in game completion.
Theres a secret area in royal waterways , which unlocks a new DLC , u can try that too.

go around collecting blue health from the cocoons without taking damage and then come back down to the blue door in the abyss
I feel like it's much easier to just equip all the charms that give you blue health, not much risk of taking damage from the bench compared to going around the map to collect them
