just watch a lets play retard
are people just in denial saying this game is good
half the posts on reddit are
>ugh i hate this game its so frustrating
>wow now that i got past this part this game is so amazing goty
I dont fucking see it, accomplishing beating bosses gives you no feeling of satisfaction in this, there's no reward given except grinding for more fucking beads
then you are treated to the platforming, every enemy deals 2x damage, every jump you try to make an enemy pops out of no where to fuck you up, then takes 5 hits to kill, artificial difficulty in this is insane
its just difficult for difficulties sake

I have to be missing something because I found this nigger by accident (admittedly after getting the dash and the floating dress) and I got him on my 3rd try once I finally managed to make him smash the adds.

Is there a second fight of this boss or something? I got the beast crest from it but in another thread someone said the runback to it is long as hell but I don't remember mine being that bad

Op here, I posted this thread after my second attempt, I then went to take a very long shit, then came bake and beat it after 4 more tries. Honestly, it wasn't that bad, you fags overhyped the difficulty.

Did you not look at the threads? People cried a lot about her before realizing they could jump at the walls.

I only used Wanderer crest (Hollow Knight mode) as soon as I got it. I hate Hornet's default downward attack. I hate Reaper's alternating up/down attack and the up slash fucking sucks. I hate Beast because of that down attack and the running attack (whenever I tried it) just results in you getting hurt.
Wanderer just works.

Widow and the red skull fella are pretty cool. Beastfly is a shit boss concept. He dashes vertically or horizontally then spams adds. It took 7 years to come up with that garbage?

It's easier in hollow Knight, because the Knight is canonically stronger than Hornet.

All you have to do is learn to bait all three of his downward slams into the adds. He stops slamming if you move too far away.
But yeah this early game boss is easily harder than anything in the first half of Hollow Knight.

Incredible act of hubris to take something that was perfected back in the 1980’s and giving the player a shittier version

it's fine but once you upgrade the hunter crest you should be using that exclusively because the damage increase when you have focus is actually pretty noticeable

The diagonal pogo feels so much better for this game, gives Hornet a real sense of momentum & agility. Very satisfying to shaw into an enemy then bounce back and pogo them to death

I dont blame anyone who gets filtered by the red ant boss. Hes fuckings stupid early and has some fast ass jump attack that bites you in the ass after youve pr9bably just learned to pogo and show you how annoying the contact damage is.
