At 96% you should be pretty close, depending what you haven’t gotten yet. Did you fully awaken the Dream Nail and go to the White Palace?biscuitdough wrote: Wed Oct 19, 2022 7:25 am Finally fucking beat (not finished, 96%) Hollow Knight. 59 hours. Overall it’s good, but I hate when there are alternate, supposedly more satisfying story endings that are locked behind ultra difficult stuff. I guess I’ll never see those.
Yeah. Can you even fight the "final" boss without the awoken Dream Nail? Or do you mean I need another upgrade beyond that?Adam P wrote: Sun Nov 06, 2022 1:12 pmAt 96% you should be pretty close, depending what you haven’t gotten yet.

There is another boss that requires a few extra steps which cant be completed if you haven’t defeated the Traitor Lord and traversed the White Palace.biscuitdough wrote: Mon Nov 07, 2022 7:24 amYeah.

Anyway, I have been to the White Palace, realized it would take months to handle all the crazy platforming there. I know that there's a charm you get for finishing it and beating the Traitor Lord, who I've tried dozens of times without success.
I saved Cloth on this run, unfortunately, so I can't cheese the Traitor Lord. If it was just the White Palace it might make sense to give it a shot.
Part of my 96% might be that I did some of the Grimm Troupe stuff, but not much. Just the first two missions.
I don’t have the last notch, but I do have the final nail and even went to see the nailsmith at his new job. I have the unbreakable charms too.Adam P wrote: Mon Nov 07, 2022 7:03 pmThere is another boss that requires a few extra steps which cant be completed if you haven’t defeated the Traitor Lord and traversed the White Palace.biscuitdough wrote: Mon Nov 07, 2022 7:24 amYeah.

If you haven’t already (and you’re interested in continuing to play) I’d suggest maxing out your nail (requires three Pale Ore) and converting Fragile Strength and Fragile Heart to their respective Unbreakable versions. Requires a shit-ton of Geo, but worth it, especially Unbreakable Strength. Then defeat Grimm and get the Charm Notch from him.
FWIW, my favorite Charm combination is Unbreakable Strength, Quick Slash, Steady Body, Longnail, and then Wayward Compass and Gathering Swarm if I’m exploring, or a relevant charm for combat. This combination allows you to melee the shit out of the Hollow Knight.
It seems counterintuitive but staying close to the Traitor Lord is the way to go. Slash and hurdle repeatedly.biscuitdough wrote: Tue Nov 08, 2022 7:23 am I found the hollow knight was like most other bosses and just took a couple attempts to get the rhythm down. I would say that I straight up can’t do the traitor lord, at least with Cloth’s “help”. That fight and the dream version of Zote are impossible for me.
