Hollow Knight Tips for New Players! — Transcript

Full transcript

1. 0:00It has come to my attention that Hollow
2. 0:01Knight is apparently thought to be a
3. 0:03hard game. Now listen, I disagree, but
4. 0:04here's how to stop being a terrible
5. 0:05Hollow Night player. I guess maybe,
6. 0:07probably not. I don't know for sure, but
7. 0:09we'll see. When you're about to take
8. 0:10damage, don't. Why would you want to hit
9. 0:12an enemy? Are you stupid? Number two,
10. 0:15just play the goddamn game. Don't be a
11. 0:16[ __ ] and ask for tips. Oh, you're lost.
12. 0:18Well, guess what, [ __ ] The game's
13. 0:20all about exploration. Explore. Sorry,
14. 0:22got a little angry there. Number three,
15. 0:23don't be a [ __ ] That's right. Don't be
16. 0:25a [ __ ] It's quite simple, actually. If
17. 0:27you're fighting a boss and it's too
18. 0:28hard, then keep on fighting it. That's
19. 0:29it. All right, moving on. Now, here's a
20. 0:30more genuine tip. The less you know, the
21. 0:32better. When I first played the game, I
22. 0:33was back seeded by a Twitch chat. Now,
23. 0:35the game was still fun to play for me,
24. 0:36but it would have been a lot more fun if
25. 0:38I went into it blind. And speaking of
26. 0:39actual genuine tips, charms. So, if
27. 0:42you've already watched this far, then I
28. 0:43imagine you already know what charms do.
29. 0:44If not, well, then that's kind of
30. 0:44strange. So, anyway, Hollite has a lot
31. 0:46of charms. So, I'm giving you a slight
32. 0:47damage increase on others, making you
33. 0:48look like this. I don't know why, but it
34. 0:50does that. So, that's cool. Anyway,
35. 0:52since you're here watching a Hollow
36. 0:53Knight tip video, like a [ __ ] [ __ ]
37. 0:54you are, sorry. Anyway, um then you
38. 0:56probably want to get better at the game.
39. 0:57No. and they get better, you got to use
40. 0:58right charm. So that's why I'm here for
41. 1:00you right now. Currently rock by the
42. 1:01way. All right, so use any charm that
43. 1:03makes your nails stronger, attack
44. 1:05faster, or attack longer, cuz longer is
45. 1:07always better. Never never ever use
46. 1:09charms than for spells. Trust me, I know
47. 1:11what I'm talking about here. Now, I
48. 1:12mean, you could if you really wanted to,
49. 1:13but I mean, I feel like in my humble
50. 1:15opinion, Hollow Knight players that use
51. 1:16spells are kind of like they're not very
52. 1:17cool, and my opinion matters, so you got
53. 1:19to listen to it. But I just started the
54. 1:21game at Roland. How do I find some good
55. 1:23charms? refer to tip number two or three
56. 1:25I think was explore. [ __ ] explore.
57. 1:28God damn
58. 1:30it. Oh my [ __ ] god. I can't do it
59. 1:34anymore. How do I get in here? Gate
60. 1:37above is already unlocked. How do I get
61. 1:38this caterpillar? How do I get past
62. 1:40this? Someone help me find on What am I
63. 1:42missing? Do I need double jump or
64. 1:44something?
65. 1:48Nail
66. 1:49arts. If you somehow don't know what
67. 1:51nail arts are still, well then I guess
68. 1:52this is the point where I explain what
69. 1:53it is, which is kind of annoying, but
70. 1:55that's fine cuz I love being
71. 1:55informative. This is a lie. Anyway, so
72. 1:57you will eventually stumble upon these
73. 1:58three guys who will give you nail arts,
74. 2:00of which there are three. One of which
75. 2:02being the big spinny tech thing. The
76. 2:03other one being like some big dash
77. 2:05slash. It's pretty cool, I guess. And
78. 2:06then you got the the the slash. Now, if
79. 2:09you already knew what nails were part of
80. 2:11this, and I guarantee you, you don't use
81. 2:12them a lot. And hey, there is absolutely
82. 2:14no shame in it. I mean, I don't use them
83. 2:15either. You know, it's like you forget.
84. 2:16Well, sorry, correction. I didn't use
85. 2:18them until I stopped being a [ __ ]
86. 2:20idiot. That's right. Turns out the nail
87. 2:22arts are actually pretty underrated. And
88. 2:23I mean, hey, listen. I mean, the pros
89. 2:25use them a lot, so I mean, I should too,
90. 2:26right? Think about it like this. It's
91. 2:27the equivalent of if a billionaire,
92. 2:28let's say Bill Gates, does math, then
93. 2:30we, the lower class, will do it, too.
94. 2:32Because I mean, why not, you know?
95. 2:33Anyways, I talked all that [ __ ] but why
96. 2:35exactly do I believe the nails are
97. 2:36pretty good? I don't really know. I just
98. 2:37saw it somewhere. I mean, what did you
99. 2:39expect? Like some in-depth analysis as
100. 2:41to why they're really good? No, I don't
101. 2:42even really use them. I lied. Now, wait
102. 2:44before you get all mad. I know you're
103. 2:46probably thinking like, you know, why
104. 2:47would I make a whole a segment about nil
105. 2:48arts and not and not really care about
106. 2:49them? Well, you see, it all began
107. 2:51literally a minute ago when I was a boss
108. 2:53and realized, wait a minute, these
109. 2:54things take super long to charge up.
110. 2:56Like, it's more of a hassle to use them
111. 2:58than to not use them at all. Yeah, I
112. 3:00thought to myself. You see, Minuteos
113. 3:02Mi's feeble, underdeveloped mind thought
114. 3:04that this was the case. That isn't so
115. 3:06clear to me, aka change man me
116. 3:08fortunately had the liberty of stumbling
117. 3:09upon a new charm called the nail
118. 3:10master's glory, I think it is. I I don't
119. 3:12know for sure. Now, you're probably
120. 3:14wondering where do I get the charm
121. 3:15event? Well, I'm not going to lie, but I
122. 3:16kind of forgot. So, how about you just
123. 3:18Google it instead? All right, good boy.
124. 3:19Good job. Sorry, I'm I'm a good man. Oh,
125. 3:21[ __ ] Anyways, whilst I may not be able
126. 3:23to tell you where to get the charm, I
127. 3:25can, however, tell you what it does and
128. 3:26why it makes nail arts viable. So,
129. 3:28buckle up, buttercup, because this charm
130. 3:29is super complex and it's going to be a
131. 3:31pretty darn long explanation. Here we
132. 3:32go. Okay, cool. It reduces the charge
133. 3:34time for every nail art. That's kind of
134. 3:36it, actually. Okay, cool. And for the
135. 3:37low cost of one notch, this charm is a
136. 3:38game changer. And when I say game
137. 3:40changer, I mean game changer. Remember a
138. 3:42few minutes ago when I was saying how
139. 3:43whenever you're fighting a boss and it's
140. 3:45too hard to just keep on fighting it.
141. 3:46Listen, I stand by that definitely.
142. 3:48However, I just thought of an alternate
143. 3:49solution. So, let's say in the purely
144. 3:51hypothetical event that you're quite
145. 3:52literally getting your ass handy by a
146. 3:54boss, it's been hours and you have
147. 3:56nothing better to do. Oh, you want my
148. 3:57advice? Well, guess what? I'm going to
149. 3:59give it to you now. Here we go. Okay, so
150. 4:00one thing I've learned after countless
151. 4:02hours of boss fights is that it's best
152. 4:04to not make a move until your opponent
153. 4:05does. It sounds crazy, I know, but trust
154. 4:07me, it works. And why does it work?
155. 4:08Being still and staying on the ground
156. 4:10makes you far less likely to literally
157. 4:12walk into an enemy attack because you
158. 4:13can't walk into an enemy attack when
159. 4:14you're not even walking. Anyways, more
160. 4:15importantly, it enables you to focus
161. 4:17more on the boss. And focusing is pretty
162. 4:18good. Now, I know what you're probably
163. 4:20thinking. This guy's full of [ __ ] and
164. 4:22why should I believe him? Well, I'm not
165. 4:23full of [ __ ] [ __ ] you. And you got to
166. 4:25believe me, cuz I'm the one making the
167. 4:26video here. Parrying. Parrying is when
168. 4:28an enemy attacks you and you, well,
169. 4:30parry it. Now, I'm quite confident that
170. 4:32you probably heard of parrying before in
171. 4:33other games. I mean, it's pretty common,
172. 4:34but if you haven't heard of it before,
173. 4:36well, then uh that's kind of crazy,
174. 4:37actually. Anyway, so in Hollow Knight to
175. 4:39parry things, whenever an enemy attacks
176. 4:40you, you attack them. Kind of like
177. 4:42pogoing. It's a pretty time based thing,
178. 4:44but if you are able to get a parry off,
179. 4:46it will give the knight aka you 0.25
180. 4:48seconds of uh wait, what was it again?
181. 4:50Oh yeah, invulnerability. And I don't
182. 4:52got to be smart to tell you that
183. 4:53invulnerability is pretty good. I mean,
184. 4:54think about it like this. You're
185. 4:55surrounded by enemies and they all want
186. 4:57you dead and then bam, what do you do?
187. 4:58Do you do A, do a parry, or do you do B,
188. 5:01crawl up into a ball and cry? Well,
189. 5:02guess what, [ __ ] Neither. Option C,
190. 5:04do a desert dive. Now listen man, the
191. 5:05desol dive gives you an insane amount of
192. 5:06invincibility frames. But first, what
193. 5:09exactly is the desolate dive? Well, you
194. 5:10get it from the big fat guy and the soul
195. 5:12sinks him. Now, this guy may be obese,
196. 5:13but not from food, from souls. And
197. 5:15that's a pretty bad guy thing to do. So,
198. 5:17like the hero you are, you go in and
199. 5:18kill him and take his power. Woo.
200. 5:20Anyways, pairing is pretty good, but the
201. 5:22desolate dive spell is better. That is
202. 5:24if you're a little [ __ ] because spells
203. 5:26are for [ __ ] But first, a word from
204. 5:28our sponsor. Here's a good hollow night
205. 5:31tip for you. when you're smacking your
206. 5:33nail, uh, you hit them with their nail
207. 5:35and things die. It's not really a tip,
208. 5:38though. I mean, I already mentioned that
209. 5:38before, you know, as in like just don't
210. 5:40die, right?
211. 5:43Behold, no thunder.
212. 5:48Yeah. Anyway, here's a little honorable
213. 5:50mention of mine. Whenever you're playing
214. 5:51Hollow Knight, play nothing else. That
215. 5:52means no playing with your goddamn
216. 5:54friends, no playing with yourself, and
217. 5:55most importantly, forget your loved
218. 5:57ones. Tell them that Hollow Night is
219. 5:58your life now. You must beat the game
220. 6:00before you can do anything else. Now
221. 6:01listen, man. I get it. Maybe you don't
222. 6:02want to do that, but listen. I'm sorry.
223. 6:04It's your life now, okay? I'm just a
224. 6:06messenger here. And speaking of playing
225. 6:08Hollow Knight, whenever you beat the
226. 6:09game, get the true ending. I have seen
227. 6:11so many players beat the game and they
228. 6:12think they're done, but no, they're not.
229. 6:14There is five innings. Get them all. Or
230. 6:17don't. Unfortunately, you do have free
231. 6:18will, but I'm pretty sure you should.
232. 6:20All right, moving on. Again, pogo wing.
233. 6:21As we all know, the nail is a pretty
234. 6:23important part of the game. But one
235. 6:24thing that regrettably took me hours to
236. 6:25learn on my first playthrough is that
237. 6:27you can also attack downwards. Now,
238. 6:28listen. I know as simple as it sounds,
239. 6:30but oh my god, I don't know why, but it
240. 6:32took me so long to learn. I I like
241. 6:33seriously, I've been out. So, Pogo Bing
242. 6:35is arguably one of the most useful
243. 6:37features in the game. So, now that I got
244. 6:39your attention, how do you do it? Well,
245. 6:41uh uh if you're on keyboard, then the X
246. 6:43key should be your attack button. If
247. 6:44not, well, then I don't know. I'm sorry.
248. 6:45That's weird. Um so, pretty much midair,
249. 6:47hold your down button, and then attack.
250. 6:49This will have you do a downward slash.
251. 6:50Now, listen. Pretty much doing a
252. 6:52downward slash on any enemy object will
253. 6:53make you do a pogo. Well, not really any
254. 6:55object. Just kind of things like spikes
255. 6:56or whatever. The timing can be kind of
256. 6:58hard to get at first, but once you do,
257. 7:00it's pretty easy. So, good job. All
258. 7:01right, moving on. So, in Hollow Ness,
259. 7:02you will stumble upon a charm called the
260. 7:03fluke nest. Now, why is this important?
261. 7:05I don't really know, actually. But, um,
262. 7:06luck know, I do know. Anyway, so yeah,
263. 7:08the charm turns your vengeful spirit
264. 7:10cast into like a fluke nest cast
265. 7:11instead. It's pretty cool, I guess. But
266. 7:13why is it important? Well, I'm glad you
267. 7:14asked. We see earlier I mentioned pogo
268. 7:16wing. Now, it's a pretty basic mechanic,
269. 7:18yes, but whenever you cast your fluke
270. 7:20cast, get it cuz like flute cast, you
271. 7:21know, flute, floop nest, flute cast,
272. 7:22like casting spell. Okay. Anyway, it
273. 7:24will create a alive animal thing. That's
274. 7:27very weird and [ __ ] gross. But
275. 7:29anyway, so where this log is juicy is
276. 7:31that this can be poked on. That's right.
277. 7:32You can literally poke on this animal
278. 7:34thing and it could be useful because it
279. 7:35can be used as a double jump in a way.
280. 7:36And double jumper is pretty good. So I
281. 7:38have dubbed this mechanic as
282. 7:40the the portable pogo. Portable pogo.
283. 7:44That's right. This is a new mechanic
284. 7:45that I discovered my own and it is now
285. 7:46mine. I dubbed it as mine. It's mine.
286. 7:49You can't And it's definitely real.
287. 7:51Don't Google it. Also, one more little
288. 7:52honorable mention here. You are a
289. 7:54[ __ ] monster. Not you. Calm down.
290. 7:55You're no monster. You're perfect.
291. 8:00You shrutdder brown with so much passion
292. 8:02and pride, killing every enemy you see.
293. 8:03So, good job. Good for you. Thumbs up.
294. 8:05But guess what? Enemies are alive, too.
295. 8:07Yeah, they're enemies and all, but like
296. 8:08still, they have lives, too. Yes, their
297. 8:10minds are far long gone, but that was
298. 8:11involuntary them. That wasn't their
299. 8:12fault. Okay, now you see, you call
300. 8:14yourself the knight, and your goal is to
301. 8:16save the kingdom from infection or
302. 8:17whatever, but like once you do, you've
303. 8:18already killed half of the kingdom
304. 8:19itself. So, it's like, are you really a
305. 8:20good guy? I don't know about that.
306. 8:22However, I will cut you a little bit of
307. 8:23slack cuz after watching a lot of bit of
308. 8:25Invincible season 3, I realized that
309. 8:27sometimes you have to be a bad guy to be
310. 8:29a good guy. Wait, wait, what? No. Why
311. 8:31did I say that? No, sorry. I meant like
312. 8:33you have to do bad things to to do good
313. 8:35things sometimes. Yeah, there you go.
314. 8:37So, why exactly does this little
315. 8:38honorable mention matter? Because, you
316. 8:40know, it's like why would it matter to
317. 8:41have morals in a post-apocalyptic type
318. 8:43world? Now, you're probably wondering,
319. 8:44why did I say apocalyptic like that? I
320. 8:46don't really know, honestly. It's kind
321. 8:47of a weird word to say, I guess. So,
322. 8:49anyway, um back to the matter at hand.
323. 8:51Why are morals important? Quite frankly,
324. 8:53I don't really know and I don't really
325. 8:54care. I'm just making up random [ __ ]
326. 8:55right now so the video can be a little
327. 8:57longer. And it's come to my attention
328. 8:59that I probably shouldn't do that. So,
329. 9:00in light of that, this is the end of the
330. 9:02video. So, uh, yep. I also really do
331. 9:04want to mention that I've been naked the
332. 9:05entire time whilst recording and editing
333. 9:07this video. So, I hope it shows
334. 9:11[Music]
