I played Hollow Knight to 112% completion. It's my new favorite Metroidvania game of all time. Super Metroid, Castlevania, step aside. Hollow Knight is the new king. The time it took me to complete Hollow Knight a single time was enough to play through Bloodstained twice over on normal and nightmare difficulty while completing the bestiary, and maxing every single thing imaginable. Hollow Knight is massive, and I haven't even done all bosses on Radiant difficulty or attempted the Pantheons with bindings or Steel Soul mode. It's insane. And insanely cheap. And the DLC is free. What the hell is this perfection? I cannot wait for Silksong, damn it.

Twice. NG Normal 100%, and then NG+ Nightmare. NG Nightmare is on hold. Playing other stuff while I wait for some major DLC.

Silver Knight is flashy but impractical.
Carabosse is a life saver and sings.
Buer is useless and blocks my projectiles.
Dullahammer Head is great for Nightmare mode.
Bloodbringer is underwhelming even at level 99.
Dantalion and his strength buff is godly.
Overall I'd say Carabosse is best girl familiar. With Dantalion coming in at a close second.

I'm thankful for the Valefor cap. Now I won't have to dread wasting minutes on that fight every NG+.
I don't mind the nerfs, they're mostly minor number adjustments. I'm liking all the bug fixes. Welcome Company was too OP so I'm kinda glad I won't have to keep that shard on every playthrough.
Also guns are untouched. Let's keep it that way.

From the sounds of it, the glitch's damage is that high cause of Valefor's high HP with lots of gold. 10k HP is the highest HP normally.

This is the highest I managed to get. Utilizing red remembrance and technique/element multipliers. Hellhound can't surpass it since the highest INT possible is 409 and that can only reach 11,229 damage. Unless they remove the level cap, this is the highest damage possible.

They nerfed budget Valmanway but didn't touch guns. Bullet dodged.

I have a laptop with a GTX 1060 6gb and a i7 8750h processor. I run Bloodstained on the highest settings with 0 slowdown. No issues with Valefor either. Flawless as flawless can be.

I suppose my only complaint would be that the 8 Bit Overlord should have a drop rate similar to the rest of the optional bosses (12 or 15 %). He currently only has a 4% drop rate which is infuriating since you always need to go through a special level just to get to him. I have one shard and have been grinding against this guy for hours. Although thanks to that I've gotten pretty good at speed running 8-Bit Nightmare, lol. And I had it a bit worst since I wanted to buy all the 32-bit weapons. Which I did, after farming a bunch of 8-Bit Nightmare books. streamable.com/6hd4d8-Bit Overlord and Kunekune are probably the worst shards to farm I agree.

I enjoy the room for it's maybe mystery. but I also enjoyed finding Mew under the truck next to the SS Anne in the original Pokemon games. Funny thing is, through a glitch (not Missingno) you actually can catch Mew, in the original games. www.ocf.berkeley.edu/~jdonald/pokemon/mewglitch.html and Naw man, I caught him legit.

What do you think? Are you going to buy it?
And are you going to toss your New 3DS XL into the trash now that the Switch Lite is at the same price point of $200?

I can totally see that happening if this was in the early 2000s and the internet was just starting. I can recall lots of BS game rumors. Did you know, if you master 16 Revive Materia, you can get Aerith and Zack? True story. Did you know, if you do some convoluted thing in OOT, you can learn the Overture of Sages song and use it to enter the Temple of Light and obtain the Triforce? I've done it so it must be true.

That room is good to create fake rumors like if you manage to kill the ghost, a 3rd castle will emerge and you will go over 100% map completion, etc I can totally see that happening if this was in the early 2000s and the internet was just starting. I can recall lots of BS game rumors.

That happened to me when I entered the pause menu while transitioning to the 8 Bit Nightmare area. It looked like the game was censoring Miriam lol.

You haven't seen hard until you try NG Nightmare. I was pretty much in aoania's situation. Getting two shot by everything before I could even reach the boss.
Until I managed to farm Medusa head shards and discovered the kick jump glitch that is. Still fun as heck, like I'm playing SMT Nocturne or something with how I have to use everything to succeed.

Like, an achievement or something? A gameplay addition, an easter egg, something resulting from such a time-consuming action? I am tempted to max out everything, little by little, but with RNG in the picture, i am afraid it would take ages to do just that. Also, does luck affect shard drops and if no, what does? Nothing changes. Maxing out your shards is just for completionists. Yeah, according to the "strategy guide" luck affects shard drops too. You can also wear Solomon's Ring to boost your chances, and if you're on NG+ you can wear two.
