“I don't know whether you've noticed, but some Charms seem to like each other. Yes! Mmm!
When Charms like each other, they shine even brighter and sing even more sweetly!”
- Salubra the Charm Lover
Throughout the game, I kept experimenting with all the charms and I mean ALL of em (except for the Compass because I have very good mapping skills.) From Steady Body and Heavy Blow to Glowing Womb and Soul Eater; I used the charms to their full potential and it made my experience with the game so much more strategic and interesting. When I discovered my first charm interaction, it was one of the most fascinating things I’ve seen in a while. So I made this video dedicated to that aspect of the game I absolutely adored (Grimm Troupe DLC charms included.)
This is my first semi-serious video I made so criticism is much appreciated.
Found a lot of these facts in the Hollow Knight Wiki so whoever is running it is doing a really good job. Check it out!

Give Team Cherry’s Hollow Knight the love it deserves! STRONGLY RECOMMEND. The only game like Dark Souls that is not because of its difficulty.

There are new LIFEBLOOD UPDATE Charm Interactions!!!
*Weaversong* + *Sprintmaster* - Makes the weaverlings faster and hyperactive.
*Weaversong* + *Grubsong* - Every slash a weaverling lands gives you a snippet of SOUL
___________________________________________________________________________________
Thanks to some comments (mainly Top Waifu), I am made aware that there’s a charm interaction that I missed! If you equip *Grubberfly’s Elegy* and *Grubsong* , the amount of *_SOUL_* you gain when taking damage increases to a considerable amount. If you are a clumsy and careless player like me, this will be a great combo for you.
This nice harmony also gives Grubberfly’s Elegy a bit more utility since it loses its main effects once you are down a mask. Nice to know that its benefits aren’t that limited.
Problem is I can’t think of any good names for this combo but maybe you guys can give it a shot? Reply below if you can think any. Would love to see it!
Keith Redacted Song of the Elegy, perhaps?
A Grubs Elegy
Grubberfly's Song.
grub's blessing
Grub Chorus, because both charm names contain a song name and the sounds grubs make in game are kind of like singing when they're happy.
I love how a legitimate combat strategy in this game is just shitting on everything
The diarrhea build is honestly basically turning yourself into "The Great Might Poo" from Conker's Bad Fur Day.
You're officially a shit-boss.

Mz Kit3Kats White Palace was way too easy with that build. I figured it out myself and used it.
Okay I need to ask, how do deep focus and grubsong help? I understand hiveblood, but the other two elude me.
Grubsong to generate focus when being hit by every single trap ever in that horrible place, deep focus to get more health back from the focus. I liked that level.
All I really needed was Deep Focus and Grubsong tbh. Grubsong generates soul each time you get hurt and you regenerate 2 masks for one lost
I didn’t even have Hiveblood so good god

@@GarryDumblowski Kingsoul is horrible. What is it, 5 charm slots for some slow ass soul regen? I also tried kingsoul and glowing womb, wasn’t as effective as you’d imagine.
@@ExcuseMe881 I had kingsoul for five minutes bruh
@@GarryDumblowski Grubsong + Weaversong does the same thing as Kingsoul but for much less notches.
This is one of the many reasons this game is one of my all-time favorites.
I mean, look at these exploding wombs, different unn shapes etc. Would many devs bother making different sprites and animations for each of these combos?
And you, my man, amazing editing with nicely placed jokes!
100% agree with you. My exact thoughts throughout the game. The charm mechanic was so creative, well thought-out and the combos aren't even presented to you, they are basically easter eggs which is just unbelievable.
I agree. Though, my one gripe with this game is the cryptic nature of all these things. I'm a little ambivalent about it, on one hand I love secrets, on the other hand some are near impossible to know about (the hive entrance, the path of pain entrance) and you're basically forced to search things up if you want to 100% the game. I'd love to see the developers make some of the hidden things more apparent. I'm not saying make the entrances more obvious, rather leave more clues in the game about these secrets. I think many of the secrets are well done, but there's definitely a whole bunch that are so hard to find that it becomes a chore to find them.
I agree with you. Sometimes, some people need the search the wiki for these secrets which ends up spoiling the surprise for them even more.
Luckily and thankfully, that barely happened to me.
I agree, I'm the kind of dude who combs through maps carefully and even takes notes of places I can't access yet so that I can come back later when I can... and I still missed some pretty important things like the Hive Entrance and the Path of Pain.
I think this kind of game needs some kind of late game mechanic facilitating the finding of hidden spots.
@@ManoredRed i tottaly agree and i also do the same for example that acid pit that could not be accessed unless you got the acid blessing thing but some things are really hard to find for example i really wanted to get the weaverlings because they looked super fun but i hate darknest and i hate the creatures there so i didnt want to comb that place out. I wanted to leave that place as soon as. Other places i would come out
Like wondering why this cliff is here and using the crystal jump to find an area. Also finding good short cutes such as getting of the stagway of kings road or whatever and going to the top, taking that door wall jump to the highest point you can
Cystal jump and you ignored every big red warrior from there untill the next building xD supee useful for my first run since i cant foght them without losing 2 masks since i do no fdamage and a is a lot faster
Those are some good combo names.
Best name is FART
I like diarrhea build ♥
I always call "dunglings" "shartlings"
"Fart"
Diarrhea build...
I don't know why but the look of silent contempt on the Mantis Lord's face at 13:15 was hilarious
The various combinations that the Devs thought up and the sheer volume of detail. . For such a small team to pull off. . Just amazing
And also this is their first real game

I just noticed that the dream shield turns faster when you're healing.
Yeah it acts the same as Markoth’s shield

I like that when you sharp shadow dash downwards, you can see the 6 eyes of the shade lord
Slow the speed way down and you can see it with horizontal dashes.

Shaman fluke, also known as the shotgun.

D!NG + Hollow Knight = *T H I S*
i feel so dumb watching this beacause i never think about these combos
I care care mostly about exploring, so I'm always using the compass charm, alongside the money swarm because I'm also very lazy
-_-) ...
Yeah same. I always get lost without having a map, & without the compass I get lost even *_with_* the map.
Also, I just got tired of Geo going into spikes and shit. My OCD screeches louder when I lose Geo than Grimm having his bow interrupted.
@@synthrow4847 nah i never use them i just play a mage build
@Bueno Sama9494 nah, everything give you geo, also the relics and the colleseum gives you all the geo you'll need, on the other hand, the compass could be useful but the level desing it's so good that i'm rarely lost after i got the map, there are so many landmarks
I unequip both only when I’m going to a boss fight so I can make room for more offensive charms
Same, apparently people can play the game without it too somehow. And sometimes, I'll spend tons of time on a boss fight because I forget I had it equipped.
14:24 I used that exact build to beat nkg.

"It always feels good to be back in this game" *Dies*
"Diarhea build", you got me, I was laughing like a 3 years old child !
5:59 The way this cuts to looking at the Knight after looking down at the victim.... that was such a menacing vibe. Patiently waiting for the prey...
When i realized i could use hiveblood to survive the palace it was my happiest moment on this game
Not that it made the palace less painful
I'M LAUGHING SO HARD AT THE DREAM SHIELD PART
It’s just like...”aaand it’s gone”
...I wish I had more charm slots then dream shield would always be on me
It's so effective lmao
What everyone else sees: "fart"
What I see: "(f)ART"
You ascended mind
Fun fact. When the mantis lords boss does the dash attack you can use shape of unn to duck under it.
This is a really well made video, surprised at its current views and your sub count, very good quality for such a small channel!
I am not.
Hey Flook
I know right its funny but imformative xD
Agreed, I loved every part of this video
Why are you here?
Now this is what I call high quality content.
I love How Triggerd the mantis lords get when dreamshield was on
The great thing about combining quick and deep focus is that, depending on the boss, you can out heal their attacks. Most boss fights, you can get off one heal and then promptly get smacked for it. But when you're healing two masks per focus, it can be worth it to take the hit. you still gain 1 health.
Exactly
Let me introduce you to GPZ 10
Combine that with thorns of agony, you get a heavy hit as well
that 'nani??' scene earned a subscription xD
For a impatient hothead like me, thorns of agony is the best charm in the game lol
Cant count the number of times this thing helped me in a tough spot. especially in the colosseum. (stupid primal aspids)
And now I have a "parry" build, never thought about the shell and thorn combo.
@@kevinlima1243 Yep, quick shell + thorns = a very crude parry mechanic. I hope Silksong actually add a parry, diagonal dashes and so on, because the combat of HK is already amazing, with more depth it can raise the quality levels to some crazy degrees. Usually metroidvanias are surpassed by their sequels, so I am hyped for it (basically the only upcoming game that I actually care)
Grubsong + Dream shiled imo
@@RRRRRRRRR33 there is a parry in Hollow Knight, just hit an enemy at the same time as the enemy hits you, and there will be a clink sound effect and you won't take damage
4:59 WHOA WHOA WHOA!!! So you're saying that the smell of the sweaty armpits of a hero makes those tiny babies do THAT?
The dingleberry special
It makes them gas grenades
Everyone talking about “fart” but no one talking about “Unn’s quick getaway” XD
also, how come I only ever get 3 weaverlings but you have 4?
Originally, Weaversong gave you 4 Weaverlings, but then in one of the DLC updates (I think it was Godmaster, though I'm not sure because I didn't play till afterward), Weaversong was tweaked. It was taken from 4 to 3 Weaverlings, but they also added interactions with the Grubsong and Sprintmaster charms. The first makes it so Weaverlings get Soul by attacking enemies, and the second makes them much faster. Super useful if you want to have a build where you just dodge and let your minions attack, although it gets hard to see where the boss is if you do a full minion build.
*Shell of Agony*
@@sterlingmuse5808 Actually I just cheesed lost kin with a minion build recently; I had the weaverlings collect soul, exploding hatchlings, and grimmchild do the work while I just charged a crystal dash in the top corner where lost kin couldn't reach me lol
@@ddmm2343 Ooh, that's a cool strategy. I probably wouldn't do it at this point, but that's because I sort of brute forced myself to memorize how to beat it normally.
Are you sure he can't get you with his jump attack though? I would guess that it's uncommon but that he can still actually reach you if you're unlucky.
@@ddmm2343 i used that same strategy on false champion recently. i only got hit once or twice by a falling rock
Baldur Shell + Thorns of Agony = ZA WARUDO!
more like hierophanto green considering the tentacles
is that a jojos refernce
