@@mistergray9664 I swear the counter let’s you shade cloak through it only like half the time Sometimes it hits and sometimes it doesn’t Best to avoid hitting it so yes that was close
@@IndyJacksonTT if you time it properly it won't hit. The counter is much easier to shade dash through because PV doesn't swing their nail way back on the follow through like during their combo attack.
@@IndyJacksonTT maybe it's a spacing thing for me. If you start the shade dash while standing right in front of PV it works much better than if you try to dash through his attack while he's coming at you. Or at least that's an explanation I can think of for why I find dashing through the counter easier.
In a final test of worthiness, the Pale King makes the trek to where his child resides, to see his strength for himself. On defeating the vessel he now deems truly hollow, the king reminisces on a past memory of earlier in training, a moment with his son
“And here we see the Pale King, in his natural habitat, amongst the buzzsaws and Thorns. You can see how majestic he is, strolling through his daily routine to get to his progeny, The Hollow Knight, and spend some time with them. He courses through this habitat like a slithering snake coming out of his hiding hole in the Monsoon, or even like a sly cat performing parkour over the shelves. If anyone even tries to get through his natural habitat in order to see the memories of him and his progeny having a bond, they will suffer an Eternal Ordeal of Pain, or in short, the Path that is full of Pain, hence, the habitat’s name, the Path of Pain. Our executive spies, the Vessels from The Abyss tried to get through his natural habitat of buzzsaws and thorns to meet him, ask him that why did he chose The Hollow Knight over them, but to no avail we could not get information from the spy Vessels, as we lost connection with them.” *No Vessels were harmed during the making of this Documentary* *Nat Geo Theme Intensifies*
I wish this actually was Pure Vessel’s location in the vanilla game. It makes so much sense lore wise, as if it was trying to stop you from witnessing the reason of the failure of Hallownest due to its love for the Pale King, aka its father. I love that thought so much.
imagine not getting your comment hearted by The Lumos himself. He must hate you. smh my head. im literally best friends with The Lumos, he says he hates you. never ever never ever think you will be loved by The Lumos. its honestly a shame that you have a youtube account that hasn't got a heart from The Lumos. hears a little quote for you by The Lumos - "Stop watching this video, i hate you. this is a truly quote that i said being The Lumos. I am The Lumos. #IamTheLumos." - The Lumos. This quote clearly represents the way that The Lumos feels towards your comment. This is truly heart breaking and its quite frankly sad to watch. i think that The Lumos hates you enough to even dislike the comment. that is just a shame. Lumos hate you probably. :sadface:. this is not good. i think because of this tragedy, you should just restart and purge you account, although i think The Lumos will always find you no matter where you hide. truly sad. i truly feel bad for you bad for, im sorry for your loss and i hope you get well soon. ❤😥🙏🤝🐈⬛🐟👁👄👁💰🥗🪤🗻 get well soon.❤😥🙏🤝🐈⬛🐟👁👄👁💰🥗🪤🗻 P.S take a trip to mount Fuji to clear you mind 🗻🗻🗻🗻🗻🗻🗻🗻🗻🗻🗻🗻🗻🗻🗻🗻🗻🗻🗻🗻🗻🗻🗻🗻🗻🗻🗻🗻🗻🗻🗻 spot the odd one out. sad
I agree. Would have been perfect placement and also just quite cool in general. Or maybe just at the end of white palace. As having such a big boss hidden away wouldn’t make much sense
@@_lumos4029 I spent 3+ hours going through this for the first time just so the Kingsmoulds could kill me, and I felt like my whole world just ended right there but then I did the whole thing in like 10ish minutes right after so there is definitely some truth to that.
In terms of gameplay it makes so much more sense to have the Pure Vessel at the the end instead of the two kingsmoulds that are really easy once you learn that you can just DDark them twice, a few nail swongs and that's it.
You: I bring you this flower that was taken through the most treacherous of landscapes, I went through blades to give you this flower. Please, madam, would you go on a date with me? Her: How tall are you again?

my eyes widened so hard when i saw pv at the end because i didnt read the title properly
Me too-
The king, casually going to work and having a friendly sparing match with his child before starting the day. How wholesome.
That's how the pale king went for a glass of water at night
