Fun fact: "the balls" is the Hollow Knight's Focus, just like the protag Focuses to heal. From this we can deduce that the focus can either have multiple uses or the focus ability varies between all vessels.
@@QuinBoBin Its also the time for you to do the same. They don't heal, just causes explosives (it's be hell if they healed within the explosives). Looks like you have quick focus meaning you can (if in a safe spot) heal back the 2 masks you lost. There are also other hidden heal times. Such as the triple slash, pillars, and daggers. The daggers are basically by chance. The PV will hop or teleport far from you to use the skill, a good 1 mask to sneak in (or 2 if they do it again). Triple slash, when they are about to begin the attack you have to immediately get behind them with shade Cloak on the very first slash then heal only once. Usually they are very close so if you get close enough, you'll trigger the triple slash, sneaking a heal. Pillars, you have to already be in a safezone in order to sneak a heal which is a pretty low chance. You can also heal behind them when they use their shade to void on you, sneaking another heal. Its offputting because after Hollow Knight, you already see it as an easy slap but this is the vessel you left you, not the one who needs your help.
@@QuinBoBin I hope that eases things for ya :)! Trust me I spent 24+ hours too because I just could move fast enough. They also made my Radiance fight EXTREMELY fast and easy.
@@hirahiro2331 I would really risk healing as little as possible, since it's the last fight and you have a really high chance of getting smacked with 2 masks before you even heal one. Just my take on it though.
Fun fact: the Pure Vessel doesn't yell like every other boss in the game, because it doesn't have the infection inside it. My personal belief, however, is that PV doesn't yell because he's doing the choir you hear in the background of his fight
He doesn't yell because he's a vessel, as the Pale King said a vessel has no mind to think, no voice to speak, yes the infected HK can yell but as you said he is infected, along with infection powers and animating the dead the infection seems to give the vessels the ability to cry or it could be just that both the broken vessel/ Lost Kin and the HK are impure vessels and it's shown in their ability to yell but the PV being a pure vessel can yell.
“Where’d the balls come from?” “I was doing so well, and then he pulled out the balls.” “Here comes the balls, he’s getting ready to pull ’em out.” ... Interesting wording there, Quin
Something special about the Failed Champion is that you can dreamnail his armour after he dies. Also, the cut dialogue for Pure Vessel is: "Do not think." "Do not speak." "Do not hope." "Do not..." "..." Also, I hope you noticed that PV did not scream.
I think it's more of the Pale King's wish being granted because when you hit shades or any void beings, they make a roaring sounding. And when our shade attacks us like swinging their nail, they make a type of war cry roar that we the Knight doesn't even make. And when we absorb our shade is screams as it goes back. That's what I think.

@@QuinBoBin As someone who struggled against this boss a lot (and i do mean LOT, took me longer to beat than any other boss in the game by a mile) - Pure Vessel becomes somewhat more manageable if you are more agressive than usual. At least from my experience. I had easier time with him when i used more magic when he does... ekchm... the balls, for example. Either way, you can do it, you are better at this than me as far as i can tell.
@@QuinBoBin I did every available boss on Radiant difficulty before even attempting the final pantheon. Got it in like 3 tries. First death cause I wasn't prepared for the improved Radiance, then I died cause I didn't warm up my Grimm fighting beforehand
"Here comes the balls, he's ready to pull them out" "What're you doing STEPBRO?!" Quin please I thought this was a wholesome hollow knight (and maybe sometimes some other game) channel
But hes really not that good. I just started playing and Ive done 90% of the stuff hes done in 2 weeks while hes taken 2 months. Also ive taken less time on bosses and stuff in game
When you start to fall* You will still get hit in that small jump to charge, but right after you start falling to like 1.2 seconds after hitting the ground you are invincible.
After the pure vessel lose 50% of his health he will start to use the explosion attack After he lose 75% of his health he will start to use the void attack which is a surprise attack and if you aren't prepared for you are gonna get hit immediately
So you have finally reached the moment where only masochists thrive. Thats good. Fifth pantheon is for those who feel suicidal. But just so you know: Both endings you can get at the end of the fifth pantheon are the most epic ones.
If Pure Vessel didn't destroy his magnificent cape the fight would truly be impossible. #MakePureVesselCapedAgain Best of luck defeating him and with the final pantheon!

Here's some more tips to help you on your quest for ascension: -Pure Vessel is fast, so when you stagger him, you'll only have time for one heal. If you're feeling lucky then there should be enough to get 2 heals off during his "focus" attack (the one with the balls), but that's only if you get lucky with the smaller ones not being right on top of you. Don't get greedy! -Shadow dash through his Soul Daggers for reliable dodges -Most of his attacks (The nail slashes and the lunge, as well as another attack you haven't seen yet) can be dodged by double jumping over him. Stay in the air and Pogo on him as during the Soul Pillars attack if you want -Don't stay in the air too long, because once he realises what you're doing he'll jump straight towards you if you spend too long off the ground -Never try to dash away from him if you're stuck on the ground. His attacks cover most of the arena so you're better off dashing _through_ him to dodge Hope this helps you
Don't you worry, with years of practice even you can beat Pure Vessel. Tho I'm still waiting for you to get those bindings done in the first 3 pantheons, would give you 4 lifeblood if you do all 12 bindings from the first 3. I don't care if you show us doing the first 3 pantheons with bindings or just tell us you've done them with bindings, just do the 3 pantheons, that you were able to beat, with bindings! And as I've said if you want to you do get the lifeblood reward even if you do the bindings one at a time. Good luck on Pure Vessel and with the bindings too.
Congrats on getting to pv! Here are some tips I learned the hard way, if you want Attacks & how to dodge them: Lunge attack: telegraphed by pv pointing the nail at you basically, this kind of attack appears a lot, just pogo and follow up with one more hit as you land Triple nail slash: I found it best to actually go for the triple pogo, you want to clank with their nail at least for the first hit, who knows you might land a hit or two even The pillars that come up from the ground: just get out of the way of the light that tells where they will be. Don't try to attack now. These count as metal, so don't accidentally hit one and bounce yourself into the other Light spears: probably the hardest attack to dodge tbh, either use your shadow dash or just avoid them on the ground. Don't attack too much, and only go for it if you're already close to pv when they're open. Since the telegraph is a little similar to lunge and triple slash (which btw you kinda start out dodging them the same way) I found myself trying to pogo the air several times on this one, just shadow dash there Parry: try not to hit it, if you do shadow dash in, if you don't have your shadow dash then just dash out and pray Focus attack (starts appearing in the middle of the fight) (BALLS): avoid the circles, it's not too bad. This is actually a pretty good place to get some hits in, but don't get overconfident Void tendrils (starts appearing near the end of the fight, if you see this you're close to beating it): super easy to dodge compared to everything else, just stay out of its way, either stall in the air above them or pogo pv or get behind pv or if there's room go past the end of the attack and maybe heal I guess When to heal: almost never. Aside from when pv is staggered, there are virtually no safe spots to heal. When pv is staggered, you can heal once or if you barely stretch it twice, with quick focus add 1 to each of those (as in with it you can consistently get 2 heals in, sometimes a third but that's risky). Charms: you can change if you want, but I used: (Unbreakable) heart, (unbreakable) strength, mark of pride, quick focus (to capitalize on staggers) Other tips: grind this boss before pantheon, make sure to win at least like 3 times before trying the pantheon again At the start of battle, align yourself to get one maybe two free hits Double damage is pain but uh ignore that I guess This is the most satisfying fight to beat imo, definitely one of my favorites once I got it down Good luck!
Quin, a word of advice: If you complete the earlier pantheons with enough bindings (you can do the bindings one at a time) you unlock a special door near the bottom of Godhome. This door allows you to place Lifeblood Cocoons within checkpoint rooms, which isn’t very helpful for this pantheon but does leagues for the next one. The more bindings complete, the more lifeblood you get per cocoon. Advice to beat the Pure Vessel: try to stay in the air. Air time gives you slightly more time to dodge the Pure Vessel’s attacks, with the exception of the down dive and the B A L L S. Stay determined, and only rear tempt the pantheon when you are confident you can beat him, as it’s surprisingly a lot harder to beat a boss after being worn down by 9 (technically 15) others.
The pantheons are super frustrating at times but thank you for continuing this series! I’m glad your Hollow Knight series let me find your channel. You’ve got great content! The Undertale and the Doom Eternal videos you put out recently are hilarious
It's actually not armor, the loops on the shoulders are what are used to restrain the pure vessel in the black egg. It could dual purpose as armor though, maybe armor to protect the inside from getting out. And yeah, I guarantee she has a crush.
great voice acting on traitor lord. making them say "are you ready to die this time?" just before they dealt you that 2 mask damage was really powerful
Hey Quinn quick tip If you do the pantheons with 8 bindings (doesn’t have to be all in one) you unlock a secret room that spreads lifeblood throughout godhome so you get 3 extra health every bench
You know my favorite part about this series is that the way that you challenge the bosses of the amount of times it took for you to beat them felt similar to my own first attempt of this game.
Have you noticed the fact that at the beginning of the fight against Pure Vessel there is a scream animation but It isn’t screaming? Like because he is the perfect vessel?”No voice to scream suffering”. And you can’t dream nail him,”no mind to think”.
Here's a little explot for Failed Knight: when it gets knocked down, as long as you hit its armor, it won't go back up. Meaning that you can heal or Dreamnail it to get Soul, hit its armor but not its head, and repeat the process until you're full. Also, you can Dreamnail its armor even after you defeat it.
Hey Quinn! I have a few tips that can help with the Pure Vessel fight. Sharp Shadow is your best friend. You can dodge through his parry for free damage and if you can react fast enough, his other attacks after wailing on him with the nail. Sharp Shadow scales with nail damage and gets a buff from the Dashmaster charm, so consider taking that and Unbreakable Strength. Quick Nail is always going to be strong, try and keep this on unless you're experimenting with new charm builds. Sharp Shadow deals damage even through enemy invincibility. You can use this to damage the Watcher Knights while they are rolling and bouncing around, putting you in a good position and dealing damage in the process. Take the range booster charms at your leisure for increased safety. The mantis one is better but costly. I hope this helps, good luck with the pantheon. (P..S. No body tell him about the super secret final boss that puts the Pantheon of the Knight in its entirety to shame)
My charms for training w him was unbreakable strength, grub song, quick focus, shape of unn, and long nail. I usually just pogo him a lot like during his dash and the slashes he does as well as when he strikes his nail on the floor. I try to stay in the air as much as I can because his attacks are mostly on the ground. Healing can be done during the focus (balls) attack and during the pillar attack if you're fast enough, as well as his staggers. I recommend trying to get a clear win streak against him before going back into the pantheon (bc losing 15 minutes of progress is the worst). You're doing great Quin! Pure Vessel will be rlly easy once you have the muscle memory, just take it slow when fighting him and try not to output massive amounts of damage. This fight you slowly have to chop away at his health. Once you know his attack patterns, you can practice w a more aggressive playing style. It all comes down to knowing his attacks.
Damn, this pantheon is honestly my worst enemy. I've gotten so close to beating it so much that I can get to Pure Vessel every time. It's literally hell. I beat Pure Vessel ONCE, but not in the Pantheon. I have faith you can beat it though, especially since you managed to beat NKG. The double damage bosses are just.. hell. The "balls" or the Focus attack shows he is at 1000/1600 health, by the way. He has another attack that he unlocks at 500/1600 health, being Void Tendrils, which- is not fun. Also, this was the pantheon I asked for luck on. Haven't beaten it yet, but good luck to you on beating it too-
Ah, Pure Vessel. The boss that kicked the hell out of me when I thought I could do anything after beating Pantheon 3. Then AbsRad did it again, but that's another story. Man, I'll forever remember my first PV victory on radiant (no damage) when I hit him with (what feels like) the last pixel of my nail while being (what feels like) one pixel away from his attack, which I couldn't aviod. That was some serious clutch. I seriously encourage you to at least try beating bosses without taking damage as it dramatically changes the overall strategy.
Some charms that helped me beat Pure Vessel were Shape of Unn, Shaman’s Stone, and ESPECIALLY Sharp Shadow. Sharp Shadow is amazing, and it also helps with pretty much all the other bosses, especially watcher knights, traitor lord, and lost kin. Dashing through your enemies is a blessing, use it as much as you can.
@@LuizFelipe-kx4gr markoth isn't that bad of a radiance boss what is harder is nightmare king grim in radiant and you know what the hardest boss in the game is the big caterpillar that turns into a ball I can't dodge that ball attack I don't know what is my problem with that even now I can't beat him in radiant I have beaten everything in radiant but except for that thing that caterpillar I have beaten nightmare king grim in absolute radiance radiant difficulty but why why the ball caterpillar is the only one I the real change is the sisters of battle very hard but now it is ez
5:23 Funny you say that *deep breath* If you equip all the minion charms plus grubsong and defenders crest you are able to cheese two of the bosses, these bosses being failed champion and lost kin, because by staying up in the top corner of either side of the arena (you already kinda did that with lost kin) their attacks can’t reach you, weaverlings will do damage and get soul because of grubsong, grimmchild will just do his thing, and the defenders crest will both protect you from the orange ghosts and make your hatchlings (glowing womb charm) explosive. Dang that was a lot all in one sentence
I clicked so fast on this because I knew you'd struggle so much lmao. Also, you should totally use sharp shadow since you really like shadow dashing through bosses. Use unbreaking strength too if you haven't been using that.
Good tricks for pure vessel, 1 when he does the shooting spears out of his hands make sure you're on the ground and dash towards him, when he does the big spikes use descending dark/desolate dive, when he is using his dash or multi slash just jump over him and pogo on him if possible, shadow tentacles jump behind him if possible if not than pogo on him, and when he does his focus dash away from him and heal up
"One of the symptoms of the infection is hair loss" XD (ALSO: It's super cool how Pure Vessel didn't shout like all the other bosses b/c of " _No Voice To Cry Suffering_ " )
11:20 if you attack an enemy's nail attack, you can parry it. It doesn't do damage back but it gives you a few invincibility frames, allowing you to go through the attack and parry it yourself Hope this helps
Pure Vessel really makes you feel like a little kid with a bully of an older brother. You had a whole little adventure to yourself and come home, and then there's Pure Vessel breaking your toys and laughing at you over it. You finally confront him in your anger and you almost beat him and then he starts pelting walnuts at you.
9:46 it is a common misconception that the hollow knight is older than the knight. they are the same age, the hollow knight knight is just on steroids or something.
Couple tipperoos to help you out, I used dash and sprint master as well as sharp shadow to a) keep up and b) I found that dashing towards him was quite useful against his "dash attacks" and the 1.5x nail damage sharp shadow does a little extra damage so that's always nice to have. another thing I found useful was shape of Unn as it allows you to heal basically for free during his focus "ball" attack. I ended up not needing it but it might be helpful. Last thing I'll say is grind him, I worked on him for a couple hours each day till I beat him three times in a row. You are doing good, keep it up. :)
Seriously, goodluck with pure vessel, I’m still trying to defeat him in my Godhome save and I’m still failing miserably also to be fair your doing really well, I failed about 15 times before I beat the radiance so your definitely not the worst hollow knight player. 😅
When this video came out I was practicing playing hollow knight on the piano- the last few times I got notifications for your videos I was playing hollow knight,,,,,it's fate
Quick tip, if you defeat two pantheons with all the bindings done (don’t have to do it all at once) you’ll unlock lifeblood in the rest periods, more health for you to use.
Hey I was wondering if you're going to continue Undertale? It's been a while since the last episode and I was excited for you to play through it. Don't get me wrong, I still love your other content, but it'd be sad if you stopped the series there
I do for sure plan on playing it more, I just haven’t been in the mood. I’m probably gonna play it again either tomorrow or the day after so there should be a video on it in the next 3 days
Read further only if you want advice on PV: It's all about matching his pace exactly, getting a feel for the rhythm of the fight. Running away doesn't work because he can teleport, dash or jump to you very quickly. Try and stay close to him instead. If you're right next to him, he'll often back away before his next attack. After most of his attacks is a perfect opportunity to get a hit in before he starts the next one if you are within melee range (but be ready to jump up and away/shadow dash through immediately afterwards if he starts to move towards you instead of repositioning himself). For that purpose, in order to position yourself that way, you can either pogo over him once or shadow dash towards him during his attack depending on the specific attack and his distance from you. (When he's doing the triple slash, you'll need to pogo higher up, on his nail as it moves above his head.)
If you ever get a chance, try doing a Hollow Knight randomizer play through. Basically, what you think is a Gruzzer is actually Radiance and you get your ass kicked. It may break your game (and if you do an item randomizer with the enemy randomizer, you’ll probably go insane)
Yooo my man is doing great... I literally didn't even fought back when I got to pure vessel for the 1st time 😂😂... Btw that fight with "Failed champion".. after his final knockdown you can dream nail as much as you like.. like literally he won't get up... I used to heal full and fill up my soul meter from it... Good luck and gitgud my bruh 👍👍👍

@@Mr_Peem well I’m very proud of you for being that good then. I’m really bad at this game I guess. Heaven forbid I said something nice man. Jeez
@@asaltyem0826 im not good but im saying the game isnt that hard so get good
@@Mr_Peem I’m glad it’s just that easy for you.
Tip: descending dark has invincibility frames when it hits the ground.
When you start to fall*
You will still get hit in that small jump to charge, but right after you start falling to like 1.2 seconds after hitting the ground you are invincible.
Does the normal dive have i-frames too, or is it just descending dark?
After the pure vessel lose 50% of his health he will start to use the explosion attack
After he lose 75% of his health he will start to use the void attack which is a surprise attack and if you aren't prepared for you are gonna get hit immediately
So you have finally reached the moment where only masochists thrive. Thats good. Fifth pantheon is for those who feel suicidal. But just so you know: Both endings you can get at the end of the fifth pantheon are the most epic ones.
"This is the last one, this is the last man."

title: pv is impossible
hollow knight community: pv but nightmare grimm spikes attack keep coming
i can meme this entire video trust me
"back into hollow knight"? No back into BEST GAME
True, True.
If Pure Vessel didn't destroy his magnificent cape the fight would truly be impossible.
#MakePureVesselCapedAgain
Best of luck defeating him and with the final pantheon!
Games you should 100% play and you will enjoy:
Rain World (Survivor mode- it's more rewarding)
Ori + The Blind Forest
Cave Story +
Love your videos, I'm new and found you through this series! ^^
Maybe maybe we’ll see gotta finish like a series or two first
Ori is a good game, but after finishing hollow knight, it was too easy, that's my only complaint also it's not big enough.
@@cpgautam172 Yeah, I do agree, though the graphics are stunning!
"My brain is half" (11:35) is one of the greatest johns I've ever heard. Imma start using that one.
I am not impossible , I just needs you to spend hours of your life and most of your sanity to beat me
Ah man we’ll that’s rough
@@QuinBoBin just wait for the final pantheon lol. Also you can dream nail the armor of the false knight when you beat him for extra soul
beat you on radiant lmao
Here's some more tips to help you on your quest for ascension:
-Pure Vessel is fast, so when you stagger him, you'll only have time for one heal. If you're feeling lucky then there should be enough to get 2 heals off during his "focus" attack (the one with the balls), but that's only if you get lucky with the smaller ones not being right on top of you. Don't get greedy!
-Shadow dash through his Soul Daggers for reliable dodges
-Most of his attacks (The nail slashes and the lunge, as well as another attack you haven't seen yet) can be dodged by double jumping over him. Stay in the air and Pogo on him as during the Soul Pillars attack if you want
-Don't stay in the air too long, because once he realises what you're doing he'll jump straight towards you if you spend too long off the ground
-Never try to dash away from him if you're stuck on the ground. His attacks cover most of the arena so you're better off dashing _through_ him to dodge
Hope this helps you
As a quinbob once told me,
“No pantheons are hard”
And I realized I must just be bad
Don't you worry, with years of practice even you can beat Pure Vessel.
Tho I'm still waiting for you to get those bindings done in the first 3 pantheons, would give you 4 lifeblood if you do all 12 bindings from the first 3. I don't care if you show us doing the first 3 pantheons with bindings or just tell us you've done them with bindings, just do the 3 pantheons, that you were able to beat, with bindings! And as I've said if you want to you do get the lifeblood reward even if you do the bindings one at a time.
Good luck on Pure Vessel and with the bindings too.
i love how the first two things he thinks when he sees pure vessel is "o hes handsome" and "he holds his sword like sasuke"
Congrats on getting to pv!
Here are some tips I learned the hard way, if you want
Attacks & how to dodge them:
Lunge attack: telegraphed by pv pointing the nail at you basically, this kind of attack appears a lot, just pogo and follow up with one more hit as you land
Triple nail slash: I found it best to actually go for the triple pogo, you want to clank with their nail at least for the first hit, who knows you might land a hit or two even
The pillars that come up from the ground: just get out of the way of the light that tells where they will be. Don't try to attack now. These count as metal, so don't accidentally hit one and bounce yourself into the other
Light spears: probably the hardest attack to dodge tbh, either use your shadow dash or just avoid them on the ground. Don't attack too much, and only go for it if you're already close to pv when they're open. Since the telegraph is a little similar to lunge and triple slash (which btw you kinda start out dodging them the same way) I found myself trying to pogo the air several times on this one, just shadow dash there
Parry: try not to hit it, if you do shadow dash in, if you don't have your shadow dash then just dash out and pray
Focus attack (starts appearing in the middle of the fight) (BALLS): avoid the circles, it's not too bad. This is actually a pretty good place to get some hits in, but don't get overconfident
Void tendrils (starts appearing near the end of the fight, if you see this you're close to beating it): super easy to dodge compared to everything else, just stay out of its way, either stall in the air above them or pogo pv or get behind pv or if there's room go past the end of the attack and maybe heal I guess
When to heal: almost never. Aside from when pv is staggered, there are virtually no safe spots to heal. When pv is staggered, you can heal once or if you barely stretch it twice, with quick focus add 1 to each of those (as in with it you can consistently get 2 heals in, sometimes a third but that's risky).
Charms: you can change if you want, but I used:
(Unbreakable) heart, (unbreakable) strength, mark of pride, quick focus (to capitalize on staggers)
Other tips:
grind this boss before pantheon, make sure to win at least like 3 times before trying the pantheon again
At the start of battle, align yourself to get one maybe two free hits
Double damage is pain but uh ignore that I guess
This is the most satisfying fight to beat imo, definitely one of my favorites once I got it down
Good luck!
Quin, a word of advice: If you complete the earlier pantheons with enough bindings (you can do the bindings one at a time) you unlock a special door near the bottom of Godhome. This door allows you to place Lifeblood Cocoons within checkpoint rooms, which isn’t very helpful for this pantheon but does leagues for the next one. The more bindings complete, the more lifeblood you get per cocoon.
Advice to beat the Pure Vessel: try to stay in the air. Air time gives you slightly more time to dodge the Pure Vessel’s attacks, with the exception of the down dive and the B A L L S. Stay determined, and only rear tempt the pantheon when you are confident you can beat him, as it’s surprisingly a lot harder to beat a boss after being worn down by 9 (technically 15) others.
I always come back to Quinn's hollow knight videos because they are hilarious!
Even though you can’t dream nail pure vessel in the fight, he actually has dream nail dialogue in the code and it’s really fucking depressing.
"Really fucking depressing" is THK's middle name, lol
The pantheons are super frustrating at times but thank you for continuing this series! I’m glad your Hollow Knight series let me find your channel. You’ve got great content! The Undertale and the Doom Eternal videos you put out recently are hilarious
Why does the god seeker look at pure vessel as he is taking off his armor, she have a crush?
It's actually not armor, the loops on the shoulders are what are used to restrain the pure vessel in the black egg. It could dual purpose as armor though, maybe armor to protect the inside from getting out.
And yeah, I guarantee she has a crush.
I think she might
Maybe
👀
Wait is that a dont starve pfp
great voice acting on traitor lord. making them say "are you ready to die this time?" just before they dealt you that 2 mask damage was really powerful
You still have one more, and trust me, you’ll have fun. HAHAHAHA
I’m sure it’s gonna be great
@@QuinBoBin yep
@@QuinBoBin if by great you mean “rather stick rusty forks in my eyes” then yeah it’s great :)
I just downloaded the gun mod to deal with that
Honestly your Hollow Knight videos make me smile the most.
:)
This is the second most video I have been waiting for since the start of the series
What’s the first ?
@@QuinBoBin the nightmare king grimm video, you have already done it
Hey Quinn quick tip
If you do the pantheons with 8 bindings (doesn’t have to be all in one) you unlock a secret room that spreads lifeblood throughout godhome so you get 3 extra health every bench
Fun fact: Pure Vessel is not the hardest fight in the game, that would be Markoth with no floor.
You know my favorite part about this series is that the way that you challenge the bosses of the amount of times it took for you to beat them felt similar to my own first attempt of this game.
Have you noticed the fact that at the beginning of the fight against Pure Vessel there is a scream animation but It isn’t screaming? Like because he is the perfect vessel?”No voice to scream suffering”.
And you can’t dream nail him,”no mind to think”.
Yeah I thought that was cool
Here's a little explot for Failed Knight: when it gets knocked down, as long as you hit its armor, it won't go back up. Meaning that you can heal or Dreamnail it to get Soul, hit its armor but not its head, and repeat the process until you're full. Also, you can Dreamnail its armor even after you defeat it.
“Pure vessel is impossible”
Oh really? **laughs in the buffed radiance and the pantheon of hallownest**
Hey Quinn! I have a few tips that can help with the Pure Vessel fight.
Sharp Shadow is your best friend. You can dodge through his parry for free damage and if you can react fast enough, his other attacks after wailing on him with the nail.
Sharp Shadow scales with nail damage and gets a buff from the Dashmaster charm, so consider taking that and Unbreakable Strength.
Quick Nail is always going to be strong, try and keep this on unless you're experimenting with new charm builds.
Sharp Shadow deals damage even through enemy invincibility. You can use this to damage the Watcher Knights while they are rolling and bouncing around, putting you in a good position and dealing damage in the process.
Take the range booster charms at your leisure for increased safety. The mantis one is better but costly.
I hope this helps, good luck with the pantheon.
(P..S. No body tell him about the super secret final boss that puts the Pantheon of the Knight in its entirety to shame)
"i sure miss the path of pain right about now" brave words, brave words indeed
My charms for training w him was unbreakable strength, grub song, quick focus, shape of unn, and long nail. I usually just pogo him a lot like during his dash and the slashes he does as well as when he strikes his nail on the floor. I try to stay in the air as much as I can because his attacks are mostly on the ground. Healing can be done during the focus (balls) attack and during the pillar attack if you're fast enough, as well as his staggers. I recommend trying to get a clear win streak against him before going back into the pantheon (bc losing 15 minutes of progress is the worst).
You're doing great Quin! Pure Vessel will be rlly easy once you have the muscle memory, just take it slow when fighting him and try not to output massive amounts of damage. This fight you slowly have to chop away at his health. Once you know his attack patterns, you can practice w a more aggressive playing style. It all comes down to knowing his attacks.
We have gone from this guy completing 4 whole areas in a single video to him spending multiple episodes on a single boss, just saying
Damn, this pantheon is honestly my worst enemy. I've gotten so close to beating it so much that I can get to Pure Vessel every time. It's literally hell. I beat Pure Vessel ONCE, but not in the Pantheon. I have faith you can beat it though, especially since you managed to beat NKG. The double damage bosses are just.. hell.
The "balls" or the Focus attack shows he is at 1000/1600 health, by the way. He has another attack that he unlocks at 500/1600 health, being Void Tendrils, which- is not fun.
Also, this was the pantheon I asked for luck on. Haven't beaten it yet, but good luck to you on beating it too-
Ah, Pure Vessel. The boss that kicked the hell out of me when I thought I could do anything after beating Pantheon 3. Then AbsRad did it again, but that's another story.
Man, I'll forever remember my first PV victory on radiant (no damage) when I hit him with (what feels like) the last pixel of my nail while being (what feels like) one pixel away from his attack, which I couldn't aviod. That was some serious clutch.
I seriously encourage you to at least try beating bosses without taking damage as it dramatically changes the overall strategy.
Some charms that helped me beat Pure Vessel were Shape of Unn, Shaman’s Stone, and ESPECIALLY Sharp Shadow. Sharp Shadow is amazing, and it also helps with pretty much all the other bosses, especially watcher knights, traitor lord, and lost kin. Dashing through your enemies is a blessing, use it as much as you can.
You should try quick focus + deep focus + unn's something (moving while healing) + grub's song charm combo, it turns you into healing god
Healing is for not for pros like me and Quin we can beat Absrad with closed eyes,with one arm and no damage
I like heals
It's always good to have Stinky Boi or Spore Shroom on for the ghosts in Lost Kin. Frees up your ability to heal for just one notch.
We told you pure vessel is harder than nightmare king grimm
He is like the second hardest boss in the entire game
I’m starting to get the fight down tho still kinda rough
nah, (haha spoiler name) isnt hard, just rng
The pure vessel tisk tisk tisk ain't hard what is hard is fighting pure vessel in radiant and especially absolute radiance I die almost instantly
@@LuizFelipe-kx4gr markoth isn't that bad of a radiance boss what is harder is nightmare king grim in radiant and you know what the hardest boss in the game is the big caterpillar that turns into a ball I can't dodge that ball attack I don't know what is my problem with that even now I can't beat him in radiant I have beaten everything in radiant but except for that thing that caterpillar I have beaten nightmare king grim in absolute radiance radiant difficulty but why why the ball caterpillar is the only one I the real change is the sisters of battle very hard but now it is ez
@@LuizFelipe-kx4gr Markoth isn't that bad. I only did him on ascended, but it was more boring than difficult.
5:23
Funny you say that
*deep breath*
If you equip all the minion charms plus grubsong and defenders crest you are able to cheese two of the bosses, these bosses being failed champion and lost kin, because by staying up in the top corner of either side of the arena (you already kinda did that with lost kin) their attacks can’t reach you, weaverlings will do damage and get soul because of grubsong, grimmchild will just do his thing, and the defenders crest will both protect you from the orange ghosts and make your hatchlings (glowing womb charm) explosive.
Dang that was a lot all in one sentence
This episode defined in one sentence: i hate my brother
so ur brother is much handsome and bigger than you?
God this amazing legendary TH-camr named QuinBoBin deserves somany more views and subscribers, you're seriously pog Quin!
I clicked so fast on this because I knew you'd struggle so much lmao.
Also, you should totally use sharp shadow since you really like shadow dashing through bosses. Use unbreaking strength too if you haven't been using that.
"Aaaa step bro, STOP!"
I won't ever be able to forget that.
That's a high quality vessel don't ya think?
If only it could keep that infection inside
Good tricks for pure vessel, 1 when he does the shooting spears out of his hands make sure you're on the ground and dash towards him, when he does the big spikes use descending dark/desolate dive, when he is using his dash or multi slash just jump over him and pogo on him if possible, shadow tentacles jump behind him if possible if not than pogo on him, and when he does his focus dash away from him and heal up
"One of the symptoms of the infection is hair loss" XD
(ALSO: It's super cool how Pure Vessel didn't shout like all the other bosses b/c of " _No Voice To Cry Suffering_ " )
Yeah I noticed that I think it’s cool
I remember when I watched your play through as I struggled with radiance
Nothing has changed
you poor poor soul quin, you got to pure vessel
quick tip: practice them in the hall of gods!! you need to learn their moves, kinda like nkg tbh
11:20 if you attack an enemy's nail attack, you can parry it. It doesn't do damage back but it gives you a few invincibility frames, allowing you to go through the attack and parry it yourself
Hope this helps
My step-brother what a big sword you have. Now please stop slapping me with it
Aaahhh yesss, an absolutely amazing fight, super challenging, super rewarding, enjoyed every single hour I spent radianting this man
Pure vessel has gotta be my favorite boss,
Pure Vessel really makes you feel like a little kid with a bully of an older brother. You had a whole little adventure to yourself and come home, and then there's Pure Vessel breaking your toys and laughing at you over it. You finally confront him in your anger and you almost beat him and then he starts pelting walnuts at you.
9:46 it is a common misconception that the hollow knight is older than the knight. they are the same age, the hollow knight knight is just on steroids or something.
oh wow i got a heart
@@juliusrichards9688 If i remember he got trained before containing the radiance
I found your channel a few days ago and I love it!
Thanks for being here :)
Can't believe the king of all bugs got beat up like this
Couple tipperoos to help you out, I used dash and sprint master as well as sharp shadow to a) keep up and b) I found that dashing towards him was quite useful against his "dash attacks" and the 1.5x nail damage sharp shadow does a little extra damage so that's always nice to have. another thing I found useful was shape of Unn as it allows you to heal basically for free during his focus "ball" attack. I ended up not needing it but it might be helpful. Last thing I'll say is grind him, I worked on him for a couple hours each day till I beat him three times in a row. You are doing good, keep it up. :)
Seriously, goodluck with pure vessel, I’m still trying to defeat him in my Godhome save and I’m still failing miserably also to be fair your doing really well, I failed about 15 times before I beat the radiance so your definitely not the worst hollow knight player. 😅
Its the commentary and struggle that keep me coming back #relateable. I suggest the thorn charm kinda like a counter when they damage you
The ball attack only occurs after 66% health. He gains a final attack after 33% health. Also don't worry it doesn't heal him.
When this video came out I was practicing playing hollow knight on the piano- the last few times I got notifications for your videos I was playing hollow knight,,,,,it's fate
"What are you doing step bro?"
Quick tip, if you defeat two pantheons with all the bindings done (don’t have to do it all at once) you’ll unlock lifeblood in the rest periods, more health for you to use.
Hey I was wondering if you're going to continue Undertale? It's been a while since the last episode and I was excited for you to play through it. Don't get me wrong, I still love your other content, but it'd be sad if you stopped the series there
I do for sure plan on playing it more, I just haven’t been in the mood. I’m probably gonna play it again either tomorrow or the day after so there should be a video on it in the next 3 days
@@QuinBoBin aight thanks for replying!
You’re getting clean in his fight, but then you gotta chain it all together in one perfect sequence. I believe
The name of the series now: quin slowly becoming insane
Read further only if you want advice on PV:
It's all about matching his pace exactly, getting a feel for the rhythm of the fight. Running away doesn't work because he can teleport, dash or jump to you very quickly. Try and stay close to him instead. If you're right next to him, he'll often back away before his next attack. After most of his attacks is a perfect opportunity to get a hit in before he starts the next one if you are within melee range (but be ready to jump up and away/shadow dash through immediately afterwards if he starts to move towards you instead of repositioning himself). For that purpose, in order to position yourself that way, you can either pogo over him once or shadow dash towards him during his attack depending on the specific attack and his distance from you. (When he's doing the triple slash, you'll need to pogo higher up, on his nail as it moves above his head.)
So who’s gonna tell him about “the tentacles”
If you ever get a chance, try doing a Hollow Knight randomizer play through. Basically, what you think is a Gruzzer is actually Radiance and you get your ass kicked.
It may break your game (and if you do an item randomizer with the enemy randomizer, you’ll probably go insane)
quin: dodges attack "not bad"
Pure Vessel: :D look up
Yooo my man is doing great... I literally didn't even fought back when I got to pure vessel for the 1st time 😂😂... Btw that fight with "Failed champion".. after his final knockdown you can dream nail as much as you like.. like literally he won't get up... I used to heal full and fill up my soul meter from it... Good luck and gitgud my bruh 👍👍👍
