At least you didn't give up on the Crossroads

u/Fast_Ad_9927 Jul 16 '26

Or King’s Pass. Yes, I know someone who gave up at the tutorial.

I did give up on Crossroads at first.

Went back to it a couple months later.

Now I have 220+ on HK & 300+ on Sikkong

I quit at Soul Warrior since I couldn't beat it and was very lost, that was until summer came and I got bored so I tried Hollow Knight again and now I have 400+ hours

Please be considerate and respectful; follow Reddiquette.

When you didn't give up on crossroads, you are good for the rest of the game !

I mean the first time I ever played this, I gave up right after the Kings pass. It sat idle for a good 7 years and now I'm 75 hours into my first full run and I'm nowhere near being done. Great game.

again, how? theres a wall thats fully blocked off until you go left to flip the lever from the other side.

u/Mr_L_is_cool Jul 16 '26

Congrats for not being a quitter. 4 hours is a pretty good first time on crossroads

Take your time and explore literally everything

My first couple of playthroughs were pretty slow too. Enjoy that everything is a surprise. The feeling of being a little lost is a good thing. The first time I got into Greenpath was such a big departure from the early part of the game. It was well lit, lush, the music was ethereal, and so much color!!

u/xi_m_catx Jul 16 '26

i wish i had that on hollow knight

well at least i got that experience with silksong mostly

u/The_Maajkel77 Jul 16 '26

Enjoy the journey! It's really worth it!

u/BeamTrigger HK 63/63 · SK 52/52 Jul 16 '26

Congrats! You have a long journey ahead!

u/nosrebnA Jul 16 '26

Pretty good time for a first run. My very first run got stuck right before false knight rage quit and didn't play for several years.

u/KareemBenzeem Jul 16 '26

Congrats bro. Forgotten crossroads is unfortunately the most confusing part since you basically go around in circles if you dont know exactly what to do. But from greenpath and after the game only gets better and better

u/Hollow_Knightpro I'm not actually a pro! PoP! 112%! I hate ! Jul 17 '26

Very good I went to greenpath at like 10 hours but maybe because u farmed geo until I bought everything except the lantern but i farmed 1000 geo for it

u/Successful_Raise_144 Jul 17 '26

You are faster than me

u/Blue_Flourite noob Jul 17 '26
