    I am watching this entire series.
    I hope you go for the 100%, it's one of the most challenging beautifully games made. The lore is amazing and it's just askjkasdljasdjasdljljd

    I'm currently going through Hollow Knight myself, and watching your genuine reactions to the parts I've been through already is a great experience.
    So, thanks for being you.

    This comment is for basic tips for you to get better at Hollow Knight
    - You can hit downwards by jumping and pressing down with attack included. This is useful to jump upon enemies or to get upwards/forward movement by hitting spikes.
    - Save all geo (your currency* you can and try not to lose it in early game. By endgame geo is not a problem but in early game you need it A LOT.
    - Check every corner through every area you can, that way you wont miss anything and also save all the worms (Grubs ingame name).
    - When you get charms try to use multiple ones that work together as a good build.
    - Don't be afraid to use spells when you unlock them. They are very powerful and many times soul is more worth to use for damage rather than healing.
    - Last and most important enjoy your Hollow Knight play through throught the wast ruined kingdom of Hallownest!

    So... You're finally playing my favorite game of all time.
    Let's just hope no one spoils the story or tells you how to play.
    Honestly, watching this made me realize just how good this game begins. Teaching you all its mechanics one by one and naturally.
    Yeah, you cannot see yourself on the map without Iselda's charm. At first, you will be relying on it to have any idea where you are, but later you will have the entire kingdom memorized and won't need the charm anymore.
    Don't worry that much about Geo. Grinding it can take forever in early game, but in late game you will have just too much of it.
    You can actually talk to all shopkeepers by going behind the counter. I recommend you talk to them from time to time for interesting dialogue; I actually missed this completely on my playthrough.
    Have fun with the game!

Your kindness and respect towards the game itself, the characters and the world, your awareness, genuine interest and curiosity, as well as the fact that you are a really good player make this super enjoyable. The editing is also perfect - imo everyone else edits too much or too little, but the pacing and atmosphere here are perfect. Can't wait for Silksong as well, I'll definitely be watching.

    A few tips: The most important thing in this game is to EXPLORE, hit everything with your nail, try everything, never miss a path you can go on, there are secret walls, enemies, and a lot of stuff that I doubt anyone could find on their first playthrough. The second thing is that when you jump, hold the down button and attack when you are over enemies and spikes, this makes you bounce and it's really hard to find this out by yourself, at the start there was this long passage with spikes, the only way to do that was to bounce on them. And a single thing is that you should farm first, buy everything, then explore everywhere you can!

    I got Hollow Knight for my birthday back in October, and I was very excited, but then I learned just how difficult this game is to play yourself.
    I'm not really used to platforming games, so that may be why, but I died A LOT in the beginning, I was struggling a lot with figuring out how the controls worked and how precise my actions have to be.
    I also struggled a lot with the False Knight, died like 5 times to him before finally beating him. I also at one point died in like the mushroom area, and on my way to get my Shade, I died again and lost like 600 Geo. :C
    That REALLY brought down my motivation to continue playing, coz I just felt so bad at the game, I felt like I could never beat it.
    I did end up resorting to grinding against the club guardian near the False Knight until I could buyout everything available to me from Iselda and Sly once I got him, just so I don't have to feel too bad about losing Geo again if I don't get my Shade back in time again.
    I haven't played the game since October, still kinda scarred by that loss of Geo. But since I know the game gets easier when you get more abilities, I haven't completely given up on it yet. Just maybe need to wait a bit longer.
    The only upgrades I got so far are the first spell used to take out the... Baldur guarding Greenpath? And the Lumafly Lantern. I think, don't really remember if I got anything else.
    The early game in Hollow Knight is kinda brutally hard, especially for people like me who aren't used to or good at platforming games, haha...

I would first play the game and then watch the new episode to see Mergs clumsy reactions and interesting findings really made me feel like we were progressing together. Now that ive beet the game to pure completion with Merg I feel accomplished and I feel like Merg has given me an unforgettable experience. Thank you Merg.
