I can't kill the clones soon enough because while they are spawning they are invincible, and this gives Zote enough time to start chasing me away from them. The charge's hitbox is at least interesting, and the exponential speed of him rushing makes calculations "a little bit difficult" while you are trying to dodge a shockwave in between ghosts and jumping clones in front of you. The healing opportunities against him are zero, even with quick focus and the 2 knockdowns it is at maximum 4-5 masks, which is very few compared to any of the other bosses. and if he is jumping at you from upwards and you are on the wall, you are still almost guaranteed to take damage, becaue if you stay in there he hits you, if you jump down from there, he also hits you either by the shockwaves or by jumping on you instead. The walls don't work either like at God Tamer, There are at least 3 ways to threaten you up there. The amounts of jumps are unpredictable, and so the amount of shockwaves, so I haven't found a single strategy to when and how much stay on the ground or in the air. the ghost thingies do hillarious amounts of damage, the jumping clones restrict my movement so much if he is mixing these two, I am guaranteed to take hits. I know that this is unnecessary ranting but I started to hate this boss. I literally beat Nightmare King Grimm the first or second try ANYTIME, Hollow Knight ANYTIME, and give me 30 minutes and Radiance, but this guy keeps kicking my♥♥♥♥♥and he is the only thing preventing me to complete the 3rd pantheon.

I can beat him, that is not the problem, but I just can't find any good tactics to do so consistenty. Was never a big fan of those bosses to begin with.įantastic answer and explanation.After hours and hours of practice I still can't beat him consistently. In that same vein of thought I suppose the White Defender wouldn't count either then. Strange, I wonder why I thought Zote counted as a percentage. Though, if you're simply aiming for the "Steel Heart" achievement, then you can leave out 7% as the achievement requires 100% or above. Lifeblood added 1% which you get from killing the Hive Knight boss (who now also blocks the path to Hiveblood, which also gives 1%). Grimm Troupe has completion percentages tied to it: one from either of the charms that you pick, one from beating regular Grimm, and one from either beating NKG or banishing the troupe.

None of the choice based achievements lock you out of completion percentages, as they either don't give any or have alternatives that give the same amount of completion.Īs far as Hidden Dreams is concerned, it's just extra essence. However, that hardly matters as you're going for 107% anyway. The only useful thing you'd get out of him is the extra essence. Originally posted by Kanra:Grey Prince doesn't count towards completion. Just trying to be as efficient as possible with my next playthrough. So, if anyone has a solid answer that would be radical. Without Zote alive, I wouldn't be able to gain that extra 1% from beating Grey Prince Zote, leaving my final total completion at 106% after everything is said and done.īeyond 106% just looking kind of lame on the file select screen, does this affect anything whatsoever? Do the Hidden Dreams, Grimm Troupe, and Lifeblood completion percentages "count" towards the achievement itself? A lot of what I've read online seems to point towards the extra percentages not having any importance, but I've seen some conflicting information.

The problem here is that I'm not sure I'd be able to get the "Steel Heart" achivement if I don't save him. Re-enter the room and juggle his head around a bit, the poor sap. I'll let the Vengefly King have his meal, and ignore Zote's. One of the achievements I'm currently missing is "Neglect", the one that requires you to leave Zote to die. oops), as well as wrap up any other one-off achivements I didn't snag my first run through, speedruning related ones aside. Going for my second round, I plan on doing Steel Soul 100% to net those two achivements, finish the game with the "worst" ending (totally forgot Void Heart locks you out of that. I'm not referring to the "completion rate" itself, I'm familiar with how that operates, the completion goal in question are the in-game achievements (or quests, as the Switch port dubs them). This time around, however, I've decided that I'd like to 100% the game. Hello all! So, I recently purchased Hollow Knight again on the Switch and I've been having an abosolute blast.
