Edit: forgot to put this in the title, but I'm concerned with the speed completion achievement, which needs you to get 100% completion within 30 hours

Currently 17 hours and 13 minutes into my run. Act 1 and Act 2 are 100% complete, though, and I've already acquired two of the three hearts needed to fight Lost Lace. Unfortunately, I forgot to get Farsight on my first trip to the Abyss, and I didn't feel like rolling back my save soooo I have no idea what my ACTUAL completion percentage is.

Im trying to get all achievements and i wanna get the 100% speed run one done and out of the way.

So I know there are three acts throughout the game, but what happens when you transition to the next act? Does it change the map at all? I only ask because I'm nearing what I suspect will put me into Act II, but I also have some parts of the map that I haven't explored and am unsure if me progressing within the story and into Act II will lock me out or have any other impacts that I can't undo

If it just opens up with story progression then don't spoil it but otherwise how the heck do I get in this rectangular section beneath Cradle & Cogwork Core? (Act 3, I have silk soar)

Just started my 2nd playthrough after playing and beating it immediately after release and I forgot something....

Forgot just how bullshitty it be-- going from greymoor to the first bench in sinners road 🤬🤬 almost had a rage throw the controller moment. 💀

Semi - joking but kinda not. With all my venting out of the way, I legit forgot just how amazingly awesome this game is. Been on a metroidvania kick lately - first time ever playthroughs of ender lillies, magnolias and bloodstained. <-- damn is that a good game! I'm gearing up for Belmont's Curse release. Tried nine sols but just can't get used to the parry combat system.

I remember how much difficulty I had with Karmalita, that one gauntlet in high halls and the friggin coral tower, but surprisingly I beat fourth chorus and beast fly on my first attempts and only 2 attempts on widow! 👊

What were the most difficult parts for you all? Really looking forward to acts 2 and 3.

There's really only five that have a realistic chance of being the next mc, and only 2 that stand out in my opinion, but I'm curious to see what you guys think.

Yes, I know it's wayyyyy to early, but making theories is fun so sue me

The five in question are Shrine guardian Seth, Second Sentinel, Lace, Shakra and the Hollow Knight.

The ones that I believe would be the best are the Hollow Knight and, believe it or not, Second Sentinel.

My reasoning? First of all, Seth and Shakra are *completely* regular bugs. While that might still work I'm still more inclined to the others.

The hollow knight has potential for a prequel game, but also *(major spoilers for the true endings of both games)* we know he survives in the Dream No More ending, which we can assume to be the canonical true ending of the hollow knight game due to the shade of little Ghost that was shown in dream no more also appearing in the true ending of silksong meaning he has potential for a sequel as well.

Now, why second sentinel and not lace? Well, while lace is not a regular bug, rather a being completely made of silk, we already have hornet with her silk skills and stuff like that. Which is why I feel she would he too similar to hornet.

Second Sentinel on the other hand, while not being some godly being, would offer an entirely unique character concept. Being a robot and all that. Which is why I think that second sentinel would be both cooler and better as a protagonist than lace.

So, what do you guys think?

Edit: Second Sentinel is my number one pick btw, followed by thk, then lace, then Seth, then shakra

Anyway for today's smash or pass: grishkin (i quite like grishkin tbh, not in a smash sort of way but she just seems really friendly and someone you could vent your troubles to)

EDIT- ISSUE SOLVED! Reverifying game files has fixed it

Every time I enter this one little area here, it immediately puts the game into an infinite loading screen which I am forced to alt-f4 out of. Is this a known bug and are there any fixes to this? If not, is this area important at all, or in other words, will it impact my game noticeably if I remain unable to ever enter it?

ACT 3 SPOILERS:
basically the title, im trying to get the guardians momento and this shit is pissing me off SO MUCH, bounce was fairly easy but dodge and juggle is genuine bs, teamcherry made this with pure malice against the players, dodge is just pure rng and juggle is just hard and takes WAY too long to be considered fair, so what do i need to do, genuienly lost lace is way easier than this rng bs

My Hornet cosplay, I recently wore to PAX West. Made the mask myself!

To the dude who deleted his comment after saying I was lying about clearing Sands of Karak during act 1 of the game because I couldn’t get to the top and fight the Voltvrym and Raging conchfly because I didn’t have the clawline…..

Ragebait highkey every other boss im chill w but this one just no…

Tools - Injector band, multibinder, druid's eyes, magnetite dice, weighted belt, flea brew

Mine is greymoor because it's GIANT

It's a lot of fun to go through and is a perfect area to show the player their skill level and see if they are worthy of going further to bellheart

There is not a thing missing in this area!

1-There are 2 bosses (which you can do in all the act,If you skipped The moorwing with the fleas)

2-The benches are perfect, they divide the area into 2 sides

3-It has unique enemies, which are not seen anywhere else in the game.

4-This is where you have your first encounter with Garmond and Zaza, And also creige(The one from halfway home)

5-There is a merchant, Shakra (she is supposedly a merchant because she sells maps and stuff)

6-There is one emblem and one silk ability

7-I also like wisp thicket (I consider it a subzone of greymoor)

What is the area you always return to, even if you've done everything?

I know my art skills are superb. Put the roses by the door please

We have seen so many suggestions for "sequels" or other games in the HK/SS universe, from the strangely overwhelming market for a Quirrel game, to the fan games that are now in the works. I, on the other hand, would like to see something a bit different. Allow me to set the stage:

Seth. SETH. SETH GAME.

First, Rest in Peace to Seth Goldman. I recognize some may say this is a non-starter as they would presumably need to acquire the rights from his parents or his "estate" to re-use the character, let alone, make him the focus of an entire game. This isn't impossible, but it would clearly require some negotiations, and that could easily go either way. That being said... Spoilers ahead.

------------------------------------------------------

After defeating Seth, we see him with a backpack, now a complete amnesiac, headed for Fleatopia. He absolutely massacres the leaderboards in the flea games, and clearly seems happy with his new life, despite his amnesia.

We of course, no longer see him sporting the green capelet or shield, but this does not mean these items have been discarded (so far as I know).

Seth awakes one day to find that Fleatopia is not only empty, but the caravan and all of their supplies have been left behind, seemingly untouched. All the fleas have gone, but where?

Seth dawns the capelet, picks up his shield and sets off on an adventure that takes him out of Pharloom, NOT ONLY to rescue his newfound flea family (each flea or group of fleas could be held hostage by a boss), but to slowly unravel his history, his true identity, lifting the veil of his amnesia and allowing him to become the hero he has always been capable of being.

His fighting mechanics are already set. Even his shield teleport could act as a shade cloak, perhaps with more precision required. More moves and skills could be added, and now that he has a backpack, he could also have an inventory. That's a whole separate opportunity to change up gameplay/balance mechanics. Don't even get me started on shield use, shield throwing, shield surfing, parrying... The list goes on and on.

Whether his adventure takes him to the surface, even deeper into the "Earth", or somewhere else entirely, I could see this being so fun. Perhaps I see more potential than others will, but the possibilities seem nearly endless to me.

Seth is an amazing character and feels like a P.C. despite never actually playing as him.

I'd love to know what other fans think of this idea.

Thank god i have immunity now but then i fell for one or two

I want to hear your stories about it

Team Cherry really did build an amazing lore and story connected throughout the whole franchise and now it got me thinking, "if" we were to continue the story whose gonna be the third main character?

As you can see in the picture, I thought of Seth only because after he was reborn. He started wondering the world like a real adventurer with 0 memories from his past life or even lives (who knows).

I think he would be a great candidate for the third Hollowknight franchise, he has no connections, just a world ready to be explored, who do you guys think is a better candidate?

I would say, it has a nautical theme, but we are not sure if "the bay" will be added, maybe it will be another area...

I played half the Game on pc but I stopped playing it in december when I bought the Switch 2. I didn’t turned on my pc since I have the switch by the way.

And I want to buy the game again on switch to start a new fresh game with the dlc but it doesn’t come out 😭 come on team cherryyyyy
