Honestly the Primal Aspids were nothing compared to the utter betrayal and pain I felt upon reading Bretta's Diary and seeing the Lies Zote said to her about us. Like, we could have been homies!!!!! But now I see him and laugh knowing his life is in my hands
Is it because she's useless to the advancement of the game or for some other reason ? (I just started playing yesterday, please do not go too much in detail)
@@danielhua8964 I will keep this as vague as possible. Myla is a friendly npc that can be seen happily singing despite not remembering the words to a song. Once you beat certain bosses, she gets less friendly, and eventually turns into another hostile enemy. Killing her makes her gone from that save file forever
I’m gonna be real with you, I never noticed Myla on my first playthrough, I must’ve missed her or something on my first trek into Crystal Peaks, then went back through that way and killed her thinking her to be another Husk Miner.
I always found simple combat to be one of Hollow Knight's biggest strengths. At least personally, I prefer to focus on movement than trying to pull off crazy attacks with like 10 bajillion different buttons
I also like how simple the combat is. 3 abilities using the same button and mana system, 3 cool things to do with the nail, 3 cool movements, and... thats it! I rate the combat system 33/3
#1 is mega important. I rage quit so hard, that I legitimately stopped playing for a few months. Just recently came back to it, and I am mad at my self for leaving it for so long
#4: don’t get any of the dreamers until you get monarch wings, the starting crossroads area becomes infected and most shortcuts are cut off, so be careful!
Tip : Don't feel ashamed of changing your charms when facing different bosses. It's not cheating. This also applies when you're exploring more to unlock your full potential (Mask shard, vessel fragment, nail upgrade, shade spell)
Bonus Tip:You can swing upwards and downwards in mid air. Swing downwards is called pogo and give you a propel in air . . . . I didn't know about this till I reached fungal wastes after defeating Hornet
Counter attack: only approach the aspids in the colosseum, remember exactly where they spawn and with nail master glory shred him before he hits two secs of existence
I started my first playthrough about a year ago, when I got to Hornet's fight I got discouraged because it was so difficult for me About a month ago I restarted my playthrough and finally beat Hornet and now I'm literally obsessed with this fucking masterpiece
The compat is very very simple ... everything in the game is made simple but they make the best out of these simple mechanisms the milk every single drop that they can and the results arw simply phenomenal
On my first playthrough, when I finally had gotten accustomed to the game, Zote gave me PTSD with that ridiculous get-up, and yes colosseum of fools, with those primal aspids were a nightmare
Make sure to look for Cornifer when you arrive to a new place because you’ll probably die and if you’ve went to deep into the map, you’ll struggle hard to find your shade, especially in Deepnest
The thing about primal aspids is they are extremely easy to beat… when they are by themselves but you’re always on a platform with some other low level creatures below it and you’re in a rush and it just throws you off every time
The first time I played I did everything I could before unlocking mantis claw - getting the lantern, going through crystal peaks to get dream nail, crushing every boss I could find… because I didn’t know to down pogo on mushrooms. Don’t be afraid to look online if you’re stuck
The guys at kingdoms edge are actually really good for farming geo in Early game (once you have vengeful spirit) and late game for a quick amount of geo
getting good at the swiping down attack is a good skill i think. Comes in handy with some bosses as you can get a hop when you use it and hit it extra times.
Qs a non-hollowknight player who doesn't even think of trying the game, the last one feels like either a genuine tip or a community troll and i'm not sire which one i'd respect more
the last lesson is the most important......... it will destroy your ego and you will try to fight him just dodging the attack and kill using normal attack, but you need accept that he is.... he is just OP
I'll add my own one: the moment you have a Simple Key to spare, use it on the door on the far side of Dirtmouth. There are so many moments where I've gotten locked into a boss fight or swarm room because my shade is juuuuuust too far out of reach on the other side of it and the doors lock on you, and sometimes I've double died and lost all my money before I could reclaim the shade which is INFURIATING. Talk to Jiji, make use of the rancid eggs to summon your shade back, there's no other way to use them. I unlocked her mid to late game when this had already happened so many times, I would have loved to know earlier what she could do for me. And there are more keys.
The only thing i HATE in this game was walking, traveling, getting lost and not knowing what my next objective is, mu 1st playthrough was kinda hell just checking area’s out hoping to find “Progress” and sometimes items i have are meant to be used and bought/found in specific areas such as Keys just to open a very vital area to progress further on that i had to do Wiki which i was avoiding at all cost. My 2nd playthrough after many months later which is today became a lot more smoother, not doing wiki anymore since i kinda still remember some.
I never actually got the struggle with primal aspids, but I always had a hard time with those crystal hunters. I literally avoided crystal peaks until I had almost all the upgrades just cuz of those jerks.
Combat doesn’t get more complex as you get more skills. After the first it’s all the same principle, it only changes what direction you fire magic. What makes the combat to seem improving as the game goes on is the depth in enemy design
I mean it does, you get more movement options which allow you exploit boss attack patterns to a greater extent and generally just up the pace of battle. Also D-dark isn’t just a directional spell, its most prominent use is for s.
Ah primal aspids, reminds of when I stopped my colosseum run to go grab howling wraiths because of how fed up I was with those stupid goo spitting bugs.
Yeah, I was originally discouraged because it was so damn hard, but roughly a year later I decide to pick it up again and I almost have 112% first full playthrough
I had one mask and the only enemy in the coliseum was a primal aspid. I think we know how that went
i can relate... oof...
You know what’s sad, the fact that I struggle more with normal enemies than I do primal bois
This just happened to me today 😂
I had 4 masks and a primal aspid was the only one in the coliseum. I obviously know how that went
i had all my mask and the primal aspid killed me ...
The fourth mistake a new player can make is saving Zote
😭
true
bro steals your girl and has the AUDACITY to come back in the pantheons just because he can.
@@airfriedtatertots just don’t fight GPZ and he won’t show up in the pantheon
Not saving him actually
Honestly the Primal Aspids were nothing compared to the utter betrayal and pain I felt upon reading Bretta's Diary and seeing the Lies Zote said to her about us. Like, we could have been homies!!!!! But now I see him and laugh knowing his life is in my hands
Beat gray prince zote like 10 times or something. It makes bretta leave zote.
@@MyPhoneHas13PercentBattery This is good but you can just let Vengefly King unlive him
@@Danielmrmasked it's better to make bretta leave zote so he can be depressed for the rest of his miserable life
@@awfvil2717 thanks for the tip
@@awfvil2717 Yeah but then Bretta leaves by herself, and seeing how dangerous the world is she might not make It too far
Oh no. I HUNT DOWN, Primal aspids. I'm not joking. I'M NOT IN DANGER I AM. THE DANGER
Dear God who am I looking at?
Oh, almighty... teach me how to achieve such strenghts!
@@mustafe4947 some call me a monster, some call me brave, Its now their blood I crave for what they did to my steel soul playthrough
@@nosks_stopmotions 👏👏👏👏
@@nosks_stopmotions I AM THE STORM THAT IS APPROACHING
I use primal aspids to train for dodging long range attacks 😅
True warrior. You deserve salutations
Smart I might do that when I reach kingdom’s edge
I just use them as prey.
I avoided them until I got more charms.
It's been three days. I hope so they will be one hit by today🙂
@@saadzafar4663 if you get pure nail + breakable/unbreakable strength they are 1 or 2 hit
Worst enemy are the bloody crystal bats that shoot massive crystal spikes
Crystal Hunters? Or something like that? Idk i forgot
i heard those are a breed of primal aspid.............................................
You think that until the first time you hit their projectile back. The fear abates young one
@@undeathghost5627 so just now I learn can parry their shards
I hate the weird large jellyfish thing it's death bomb thing is so irritating
Another is: if you just cannot beat a boss, unlock more gear before retrying it.
Or pull a inexperienced me and spend 15 hours on it 😃
@@Yourlocalsocks me against the failed champion
Bro I’m a 250+ hour player and I’m still not gonna even try to kill the failed champion
Update it took 10 minutes still harder than the radiance
What if you can’t
4th: DO NOT check up on Myla. Meet her for the first time and never go back
Is it because she's useless to the advancement of the game or for some other reason ? (I just started playing yesterday, please do not go too much in detail)
@@danielhua8964 Because she's precious. In all seriousness, visit her from time to time, enjoy one of the most adorable characters in HK
@@danielhua8964 I will keep this as vague as possible. Myla is a friendly npc that can be seen happily singing despite not remembering the words to a song. Once you beat certain bosses, she gets less friendly, and eventually turns into another hostile enemy. Killing her makes her gone from that save file forever
I’m gonna be real with you, I never noticed Myla on my first playthrough, I must’ve missed her or something on my first trek into Crystal Peaks, then went back through that way and killed her thinking her to be another Husk Miner.
I saved her bro, it's easy
The third one isn't a tip to tell new players, that's common sense! 😂😂😂
Bro, the primal aspids were harder than the Grimm Troupe's entire quest
FOR REAL
I always found simple combat to be one of Hollow Knight's biggest strengths. At least personally, I prefer to focus on movement than trying to pull off crazy attacks with like 10 bajillion different buttons
I also like how simple the combat is. 3 abilities using the same button and mana system, 3 cool things to do with the nail, 3 cool movements, and... thats it! I rate the combat system 33/3
the amount of punches my desk has eaten because of primal aspids is immeasurable
I usually kill them as fast as I see them so they can’t swarm me
true, primal aspids are hell spawn
4th mistake: ignoring elder bug
whoever does that is just a monster!
We bring him the delicate flower. That's what he deserves ❤
I can confirm the primal aspid one I have trauma from them
Dont worry, i instantly got discouraged once i got to deepnest
A tip for beginners: always use wayward compass, it’s the best charm in the whole game
And shaman stone
And gathering swarm
@@holmesharris3886you get so much money later on you dont need to waste a slot for that
No wayward compass is too op
If I made a tier list, wayward compass wouldn’t be S or A tier. It has its own tier above all the others😂
#1 is mega important. I rage quit so hard, that I legitimately stopped playing for a few months. Just recently came back to it, and I am mad at my self for leaving it for so long
I did the same thing. I just couldn’t push past greenpath because I kept getting annoyed, and just realized how much I was missing
I did the same, just… not early. Kingdom’s Edge Hornet. Just got back to the game and I am in an unimaginable amount of pain with this goddamn boss.
The most Frustrating thing is dying somewhere far away from a bench.
Save points in this game are few and far between!
Mantis Lords....
But finally getting to a bench after a long time without one can be one of the most satisfying experiences in the game
@@ry7xsfa872 Im getting traumatised by them rn helpppp
Advice I’d give is don’t be afraid to look something up if you need help, it’s your first time and so you’re guaranteed to need some advice for stuff
honestly the only problem I have with that is eventual spoilers (staring literally anywhere on the wiki page)
#4: don’t get any of the dreamers until you get monarch wings, the starting crossroads area becomes infected and most shortcuts are cut off, so be careful!
Hollow knight players when an enemy shoots 3 projectiles with a spread of 45(?) Degrees
Tip : Don't feel ashamed of changing your charms when facing different bosses. It's not cheating. This also applies when you're exploring more to unlock your full potential (Mask shard, vessel fragment, nail upgrade, shade spell)
Why would that be cheating? That's their intended use
“dont get bored early game”
literally me in any survival game
Haha I'm the same way. I can't play the survival genre (Excluding Minecraft)
Me with terraria, it's my favorite game of all time, but the early game before you get 400 hp can get boring
The trial of the fool...makes the last one....HELL
I just got this game, and that first tip is gonna be really helpful. Thanks, man.
As someone who beat the radiance on their first playthrough, dying hundreds of times is an understatement
4. DO NOT GO INTO CRYSTAL PEAKS WITHOUT A LANTERN. YOU’LL BE STUCK THERE FOR A WHILE UNTIL YOU GET CRYSTAL HEART.
If you are experienced it shouldn't be a problem tho
Did you know that ther's a secret room in godhome where you can fight the zote that you find in the Colosseu?
👍
yup, and i regret it... the eternal suffering that statue gives, 😂
My friend died to a vengefly in the tutorial and said, “I don’t really like the movement of it” (it being the game)
"Mommy look it is that one enemy from hollow knight with the glowing orange butt!"
"Just keep walking Jimmy..."
Bonus Tip:You can swing upwards and downwards in mid air.
Swing downwards is called pogo and give you a propel in air
.
.
.

I didn't know about this till I reached fungal wastes after defeating Hornet
Tbf that's where the game teaches you organically
When I realised if I had known it earlier my life would have been so much easy
Stay clear of crystal hunters while you are at it
Those fuckin flying 3 shot bugs have killed my Collusm of Fools run so many times
They are a DISEASE that I can't get rid of
Counter attack: only approach the aspids in the colosseum, remember exactly where they spawn and with nail master glory shred him before he hits two secs of existence
me when the primal aspid: 😨
They should add a charm that makes all primal aspids explode and deal damage to only enemies
My friends did the first two. They don't like the game even tho they didn't even get to greenpath.
Everyone says primal aspids are the worst, but my least favourite enemy is the stupid flying husk sentry with the spear
I started my first playthrough about a year ago, when I got to Hornet's fight I got discouraged because it was so difficult for me
About a month ago I restarted my playthrough and finally beat Hornet and now I'm literally obsessed with this fucking masterpiece
The compat is very very simple ... everything in the game is made simple but they make the best out of these simple mechanisms the milk every single drop that they can and the results arw simply phenomenal
Me with 300 hours in HK: I NEED to watch this
Another mistake is using mark of pride or longnail, once you start using them you never take them off
are u saying to use them or not use them? sorry i’m new and looking for some tips
@@_aahchuutheyre really useful but not that important even though your comment is 1 month old
I'm replaying hollow knight after 3 years of not playing because of this vid. I just have to say thank you
"Don't fight with Primal Aspids"
Colosseum of Fools: Bonjour
On my first playthrough, when I finally had gotten accustomed to the game, Zote gave me PTSD with that ridiculous get-up, and yes colosseum of fools, with those primal aspids were a nightmare
Make sure to look for Cornifer when you arrive to a new place because you’ll probably die and if you’ve went to deep into the map, you’ll struggle hard to find your shade, especially in Deepnest
The 4th mistake is the dumbest mistake I ever made which is I never watched a tutorial and explored the whole map not knowing where to go
The thing about primal aspids is they are extremely easy to beat… when they are by themselves but you’re always on a platform with some other low level creatures below it and you’re in a rush and it just throws you off every time
Bro gave me PTSD with the last one...
I agree with the third tip I hate those things with a burning fiery passion deep into the bowels of my soul
i literally 20 minutes ago lost my 124 hr steel soul run to one of those FLYING FUCKS
The first time I played I did everything I could before unlocking mantis claw - getting the lantern, going through crystal peaks to get dream nail, crushing every boss I could find… because I didn’t know to down pogo on mushrooms. Don’t be afraid to look online if you’re stuck
The guys at kingdoms edge are actually really good for farming geo in Early game (once you have vengeful spirit) and late game for a quick amount of geo
The primal adpids already daminged me mentally and emotionally
getting good at the swiping down attack is a good skill i think. Comes in handy with some bosses as you can get a hop when you use it and hit it extra times.
#3 spoke to my soul man, you know my pain!
When I first started playing I rage quit for like a year, then I randomly decided to start playing again and I’m very happy that I did
i did the same gave it up in 2020 after unlocking city of tears and now in 2023 im almost at 112%
Thus was the first game that really made me try at that point I had only played a couple games and I was immediately hooked.
I would say the biggest thing I would say to learn as a beginner is down poking shouldn’t be slept on and also don’t be afraid to chang your build .
“don’t make eye contact”. Excellent! Thanks for the encouragement. I’ve been on the verge of giving up.
Totally agreed with the 3rd one, it always gets me no matter what I do.
Primal aspid is Like a bully to me that thing haunts meee
me who litterally fights primal aspids and finds that easy:
am i secretly a pro?
Listening to the 57 precepts of Zote in Hallownest Vocalized was one of my biggest mistakes.
Actually made the first mistake number one when I first got the game and then I downloaded it like 5 years and I only just got to the abyss
I just got this game and the combat is so fun especially after just killing hornet after like 20 tries 😢
That last one was so real
Primal aspins are like hellishness in its purest.
I thought "discouraged" was a charm for a second😅...
Qs a non-hollowknight player who doesn't even think of trying the game, the last one feels like either a genuine tip or a community troll and i'm not sire which one i'd respect more
The third one is relatable, I'm on my first playthrough and it is currently my third most hated enemy, behind soul tyrant and failed champion
That last one is true. I've still not recovered from the colosseum
The 3rd one is so true tho😭😭😭
That low key shot at Zote in number 3 didn’t go unnoticed 💀
I love how every hollow knight player wothout communicating can agree that primal aspids are the most annoying enemy
I got discouraged cause i couldn't defeat broken vessel but at the end i did it and now i have all the upgrades other than desolet dives upgrade
Getting discouraged is very common I tried to get a friend to play 😅
I was discouraged when I got lost in deep nest
I swear they have aim bot as it looks like one of the acid balls ain't gonna hit but It hits from 15 miles away when I'm healing
That last one is so real
the last lesson is the most important.........
it will destroy your ego and you will try to fight him just dodging the attack and kill using normal attack, but you need accept that he is.... he is just OP

When I started playing this game, I actually decided to play what it was inspired by, I mean Castlevania 1-4 and bloodlines.
Meanwhile theres me having completed steel heart and doing hitless mantis lords by accident
Also don’t use steady body because the knock back system is something you should learn early on. Also you can just upswing.
I thought I was the only one with issues and hatred towards those aspids.
The only thing i HATE in this game was walking, traveling, getting lost and not knowing what my next objective is, mu 1st playthrough was kinda hell just checking area’s out hoping to find “Progress” and sometimes items i have are meant to be used and bought/found in specific areas such as Keys just to open a very vital area to progress further on that i had to do Wiki which i was avoiding at all cost.

Really glad I’m not the only one who gets sniped by the aspids, they are the worst enemy in the entire game
Primal aphids are the true hollow knights
you forgot about saving Zote, until my death I will regret it

I swear to god thats the strongest Enemy in the game
I don’t have a hard time with ONE primal aspid, but anything more then that is hell.
I couldn't agree more in the third advice 😂😂
Prima aspids aren’t only in kingdoms edge you can find them someplaces in forgotten crossroads
Yeah, I was originally discouraged because it was so damn hard, but roughly a year later I decide to pick it up again and I almost have 112% first full playthrough
