The mistake I made with Grimm was hitting him before he finished bowing in Hollow Knight:
          
          So, I typically just rampage into my boss fights and you can hit them maybe once or twice before they do their scream or screech or whatever and you don’t get punished. 
          
          But with Grimm, I learnt the art of *patience* 
          
          First attempt, I think I didn’t hit him at all because I was still frickin having a panic about the fact he was a boss already. Anyway. I jumped around like a mad person and died. Very fast. 
          
          Second attempt, I watched carefully, still didn’t hit him because my strategy is to learn the boss’ moves first and learn how to dodge and THEN learn how to dodge and punish. I died to the goddamn pufferfish attack. Obviously, I hit him enough so I saw his stagger and pufferfish attacks. I got to phase 2. 
          
          Then on my third attempt, I hit him before he finished bowing. So basically, I’m guessing because you are his guest and he is a gentleman (lol), he bows to you before he tries to kill you. If you stand still or bow back, he will starts off slow. Then when you get to phase 2 and 3, he’ll pick up speed. 
          
          However, if you hit him before he’s finished bowing, which is basically being a jerk, he will open his mouth and screech/scream at you as a way to show his anger over you interrupting his bowing. He’ll then punish you by starting with his pufferfish attack, the hardest of his move-set to deal with. He also starts at the same speed he’s at in phase 2 and then phase 3 is even faster. 
          
          Idk if this happens in the pantheon as well because I didn’t get that far lol. And also, he’s not bowing to you then, he’s bowing to the Godseeker. 
          
          So, be respectful and let the guy finish bowing. I did. And that’s how I beat him on my fifth try…that and by a pure fluke lol

Me: *playing Silksong* Oh, what a cute little PG game
          
          *hours later*
          
          Hornet: Snaps someone’s neck. 
          
          Me: HOLY CRAP

How I die in video games:
          
          Zelda: Rarely. I mean, it depends on which one. All except The Adventure of Link lol. I maybe did once every 2 ish hours?
          
          Minecraft: In the odd times I do play in Survival, I only die when I’m out exploring at night and it’s always without fail, the damn baby zombies. 
          
          The Last of Us: Maybe once every hour. lol. And it’s usually because I panicked and backed myself into a corner and got beat up. 
          
          Hollow Knight: Silksong: Every 15 minutes. 

The story of The Pure Vessel is a sad one. It’s a story built on innocence, involuntary sacrifice and doomed affection. 
          
          They were chosen from thousands of siblings to seal the Radiance but underwent so much emotional torment and hardships. Then they failed because they got emotionally attached to the King. And so they weren’t purely hollow. 

Happy Mar10 day! Ya-hoo!

          POV: You start playing Silksong after Hollow Knight
          
          Me: Okay! Let’s go! This is gonna be so good! 
          *After 10 minutes*
          Game: Boss. 
          Me: Wtf?! Already?!
          
          Me: *defeats Lace* Okay! That’s the boss for this play session. 
          *30 minutes later* 
          Game: Fourth Chorus. 
          Me: Wut—another boss? Already? Okay. I guess I have to defeat it. *takes 40 minutes to beat it* 
          *1 hour later*
          Game: Moorwing. 
          Me: NO! *takes 2 fricken hours to beat it*
          
          Me: *sees a bench sign. Runs towards it*
          Game: *literally at every single bench outside of settlements and towns* Insert rosary [that you don’t have]? 
          Me: Oh, come on! 

Hornet is a freaking badass in Silksong. She’s so cool! I just started playing the game having finished hollow Knight and it’s hard, but I like it. 

Thank you for 2.78k reads on My Randoms Book! Eee!

Okay so…if there’s anyone here who plays Hollow Knight, answer me this:
          
          The Hollow Knight/Pure Vessel and The Knight (our protagonist) were born at exactly the same time. All of the vessels are the same age. Or at least that’s my understanding. 
          
          However, The Hollow Knight is an adult when we face it. Even in the Pantheon of Gods, the Pure Vessel is also an adult which is when it was in its prime. So it’s not like it grew in the temple. 
          
          But our protagonist is still the size of a baby. 

I legit hate being a girl once every month. And I get really bad pain during my monthly’s so yeah. I hate being a girl sometimes.
