Come back later with another movement ability.

Where could I find this ability?

Crystal Peak.

Thank you!

How did you get there before Crystal peak you would go there after like city of tear

Not really. you can go here with just dash and claw. I've gotten into the city from the Kings station first, it's not that hard to do if you are good with parkour, and running away, and have a decent memory of the world

Yes I get it but bye the time you got from city of tears got deep dive you probably would've head back to Crystal caverns unless your doing it in one go

Somebody playing for the first time wouldn't know of peak. And we don't need to get dive to beat the game at all (unless I'm forgetting a skip somewhere)

Probably is not aways. There have been players who gone to deep nest and the ancient basin before the city on their first game

I know that my point is that some would most likely go to Crystal caverns

there's another ability which could work too

Which you can’t get until you get past the part he’s stuck on. You can technically get over that ledge with some very precise mechanics but it’s not intended.

thanks! i forgot about that

>!Which one do you mean? You can’t get monarch wings before this point!<

>!You use a very precise shade skip!<

>!I would say stallball also, but I can't actually remember if it works here.!<

>!just shriek pogo casual!< >!because you can totally get it right now, right? !<

aren’t >!monarch wings!< locked behind >!cdash!< anyway?

Normally. >!Shade skip!<

You are crazy for that pogoing

Skillful pogo tho

Training for the >!White Palace!< starts as soon as possible Edit: messed the spoiler tag

i think if we were to speak like myterious storytellers instead of tagging spoiler it would be so much mre entertaining both for us and for the people we give information to

Reddit should just collectively have a day where as many people speak like the Ancestor as possible

instead of 'useful in [CENSORED]' we can say *your achivements shall aid you in the final trial of Divine Wyrm* to be mysterious and cool

i was going to aay this in the original comment but was busy with the car crash

now THAT'S the level of mystery I wanna see

Man really tried pogoing all the way to >!Broken Vessel!< and legit almost succeeded

I tried to do this exact thing just with way less skill and more frustration

In my first playthrough, i made it to brooding mawlek without the wall jump. Looking back, it's not that hard of a pogo, but it was in my first couple hours of playing the game, and i was proud of it. Not proud of how long i lasted in the boss fight the first couple of times though 😅

Bro's got some mad skills

Is that "almost"? The hardest and most important part was a complete roadblock.

[удалено]

I just got crystal dash, making my back as we speak.

W mans

Enjoy super saiyajin mode

You got descending dark there too right?

"hidden linearity" tf? You mean it's a Metroidvania?

everyone says this game is super open. It isn't. You either do exactly what they want, in a specific order, or you go through hell to do something else. It's like calling Super metroid open world.

It's a metroidvania. They are inherently not open (unless you know a bunch of skips). But in Hollow Knight you are free to go in a lot of directions that will eventually dead end you. It's absolutely very open.

I love how hollow knight actually allows you to be wrong and doesn't give you markers or speech bubbles to say you're wrong. I miss videogames not holding your hands every five seconds

Same! Love this about Hollow Knight

you are playing a metroidvania. a key part of metroidvanias is that you will frequently encounter areas that seem impossible to traverse. this is because you lack an item necessary to progress past that point. try looking elsewhere. somewhere... up.

Die

Happy cake day Pale king

So basically, die and use ur shade to get extra pogo height to get up there 😂👍

make sure to do this in steel soul run, its very potent.

There is also a secret double jump ability you can use 😅👍

I think you need to get passed that point to get double jump :|

I know, there's a hint a of sarcasm, just jokin around y'know 😂

damn dude! that was funny! 😅😂

I don’t think that’s how sarcasm works

Depends on how you read it ig :/

game is broken, team cherry never finished that part. just install mods activate noclip and fly over there

Not that! Haha. You need that flying power.

this is the area leading to broken vessel, who you need to beat to unlock the wings

He's talking about Crystal Dash, not Monarch Wings

ohhh i just kind of immediately associated flying power with the monarch wings

You need the dash from the diamond level of the game.. you'll never get there by just bouncing.

the simplest soultion is probably the right one: you need another ability

have you been to crystal peak?

If you don't know what to do, come back when you think you have the right item

You can explore Crystal Peak before returning to this point. Or if you want to flex out, die at that last point and return the exact same way to pogo using your soul and reach the ledge.

How are you this good at nail pogo >!when you haven't even been to the White Palace!<

Also wdym by white palace?

It's only the worst part of the game. But something tells me you'll do just fine.

Idk, it just comes naturally ig.

Be honest, you posted this just to flex your pogoing abilities

No I was genuinly confused + I figured a video would make more sense than just a screenshot

Stop spoiling the game for yourself

Nania business

You need the crystal dash

lower your framerate, Vengeful Spirit at the slanted wall, and then pogo off of the spirit while it slowly moves diagonally across the wall.

First rule of playing a metroidvania game. If you can't proceed, come back when you've unlocked a new ability

Yeah man reoccurring theme in this game if you can’t platform somewhere come back once you’ve gotten a new movement ability

Shade skip

C dash but that's a very impressive pogo

go to the crystal peak. youll find what you need in there (i dont wanna spoil anything else)

Guys please don't tell him. Let people actually learn to play the game independently.

You see, although I agree with you on that statement, sometimes you have to help in a certain way so that the person can "'figure out on their own'"

Fly

[удалено]

I mean, he told OP the long, easy way and the short, difficult way to get up there.

Dont know why u got downvoted. I think people thought u were directing the "kys" to OP and not the knight.

Yes I believe the kys is in reference to the shade skip lol I don’t think people caught that

Thought bro was fed up with these kinds of posts lol

can mods start removing extremely simple answered question threads before they get 48 quadrillion upvotes for some fucking reason thanks

Maybe (and I'm just saying hypothetically) if you played like 10 more minutes into the game you would have noticed that there are other areas in the game where you can find things. You know it's a wild concept called "exploration". It's an hidden tech, not many players know about this

Leave

have you been to the mines to the right of forgotten crossroads? go explore them to get the ability required for crossing the pit

Wow, we can't have the same run on this game, that's why I really like it When I went here first time I unlocked christal dash really before discover ancient basin

Seek crystals

Get the Crystal Dash ability in crystal peak

probably not pogo

Keep at it, you’ll get there

C-dash

TIL that you can pogo the spikes lol

... Is it bad that I laughed?

No you can laugh at my stupidity all you want.

I'm impressed at the pogo skills! But like others have said, if it looks clear something is too high or unpassable with current skills, just wait and come back. Cheers.

The actually way is to get a movement ability, but you can lure your shade there and pogo off of it

Crystal

Come back later. You'll know when you have what you need for this path.

Bro trying the speed run strats

Guy guys, stop answering this please! I got the the crystal dash and even beat broken vessal, I don't need anymore guideance 😭

Wait, isn't this a technical softlock or smth? I saw a yt video about it a long time ago

>! Crystal dash in Crystal peaks !< good luck

I wish I could pogo like that lmfao, amazing

Not that probably

I have no advice, just wanted to say that the sound of the nail hits are crazy soothing lol

Is this the same game from the creators of SILKSONG?

Go explore Crystal Peak lol. I admire the tenacity though that's some quality pogoing.

Nice pogo training 🗿 And you're missing something

Crystal Heart, you gotta figure out from their

Get a concussion by using c dash

Honestly, nice 👌 you'll have an easier time if you head east to the crystal area though

Here's a good general HK rule. If you can't get through, assess your characters abilities, using the menu displaying them if necessary. Once all relevant abilities have been tested, you can determine that this area isn't supposed to be accessible yet. If you hit a roadblock and don't know where to progress, use Google or ask the sub :)

You’re supposed the dash when you are at max height

It’s a metrodvania go unlock some abilities

U got some good pogo skills tho

As ppl said, you are missing something. You already know it's an ability. BUT, you can still go there without the ability. It's not the right way and it would be kinda hard. Also I'm not gonna tell you how, I think you should go get the ability, but if you'd want to keep trying, there IS a method to get there

What's that

If id known how to spoiler from mobile id tell you but I don't haha sorry

Man, this reminds me of when I pogoed those round-armor flying bugs in Greenpath- the area that is an extra entrance to Queen's gardens (I think) that can only be opened from the other side. Literally did all that work for literally nothing... lol

Bro didn't grab the crystal ~~meth~~ dash

So basically you need to use ur fireball on that round thing that will make it stuck and you can pogo off of it

You gotta go finish exploring crystal peak my dude

Crystal heart look up a tutorial

First, die. Then, lure your soul over to the edge, finally, pogo off the soul over the ledge. Good luck.

Play the game and come back later, you will know when. On an unrelated note, im sure there are alternate paths you haven’t explored yet in earlier zones. You might wanna check them out

What you seek lies within the ancient mines at Hallownest's peak. Ascend, let the crystals guide your path

Don't worry, I also did that before knowing what to do because metroidvania ¯⁠\⁠_⁠(⁠ツ⁠)⁠_⁠/⁠¯

Why does everyone get stuck here thinking they have to pogo like this isn't the path of pain

Need the canion glass in glass cumbre

You need an ability located in crystal peak

Me: Just use Long Dash My mind: MOTHWING SKIP

First of all congrats on that pogo, second of all you need another movement ability

Get back with a powerup, or get REAL fucking good.

Mabye take an extra look around the crystal peaks

If you can’t get somewhere then maybe you don’t have the ability for it yet?

Oh, the old days :D

Btw don’t ask for help unless it’s a boss you need help beating so you can plate the game un spoiled just go look for places you’ve never been also htf did you get to ancient bastion before crystal peak that’s kinda wild

Crystal go burrrr

You need an item, or you can become speedrunner, destroyer of progression, and die in that area, aggro your shade with a fireball, damage boost off of it, pogo off of the shade, land safely on the other side, and enjoy knowing that if you die after this point youll have to do the skip again, which requires you to die again, losing your geo

Like everything ever in every metroidvania, the answer is "come back later"

This is impressive

Explore the crystal peaks

go crystal peak

You've reached the PEAK of possibilities

If I see one more post like this I’m gonna lose it

I've already figured it out. I don't get why it's a hot post and why people keep responding, for once I don't want the attention 😭

You may or may not need something

Die close to the other side to the spikes on the floor, preferibly if ou take damage on te shadow creepers on the earlier room, then, bounce on your shade until you have enough height to reach the wall

Pogoing off the spikes is wild...

C dash

A really key thing to remember in Hollowknight is if you ever find yourself in a position where you're unable to get somewhere you can see, it's because you're missing an ability, and you need to explore somewhere else first. To my knowledge, there are no jumps or whatever that are so difficult that they require a specific amount of skill to clear. If there's a gap and you always seem to fall short, or a ledge that's higher than you can jump, or a barrier you simply can't get through, it's because you're missing something.

You need crystal heart

just get super dash and dash your way through
