Seems like I need to try watcher knights again. I went poking around deepnest, but that place is spooky.

I went to the Royal Waterways now; it’s very nice and kinda quiet.

just beat the Dung Defender (i think his name was?) first try; an enjoyable fight (i guess he’s kind of ez cuz u have plenty of opportunities to heal with him, and one can probably avoid his damage quite easily too with some practice) 
and i found this
further down in the waterways, must be a boss too cuz can’t interact with him, but i left him alone and kept exploring for a bench cuz was scared, lol; spent my geo on more rancid eggs again, and then whenever i play again I’ll go see how tough he is, lol

Just note, if you find a coffin down there, and it asks of you to use a simple key. Don’t do that, for now.

Why do you keep buying rancid eggs?
I never used a single one in my playthrough, though I also didn’t find the guy you use them with until a good 3/4th or more into things.

You know, I don’t think he’s found the door in Dirtmouth yet.

i dont know what they’re used for, rofl, but i know it’s better to buy them than to lose my geo, well, i guess it is, somehow, lolololol

I guess u must be talking about the door all the way to the right? There’s a guy in there but the only thing he does is tell me i dont have any regrets yet or something

If you die and don’t want to go to retrieve your body essentially and get your Geo back, you can spend a rancid egg to get your geo back that way. Of course if you choose to go in after your own body/ghost and die in the process of getting there, you will get your geo back…
I unlocked that guy fairly early on, but I didn’t know you could buy rancid eggs… lol… I thought you could only find them…

omg man, i unlocked that guy ages ago too, but all he ever says is i dont seem to have any regrets or whatever; i felt at some time in the game i would incur some type of “sin” or something and then he would be able to free me from it, so as soon as i killed that first watcher i went to go see him, for example, as i felt this would be the thing to finally trigger whatever it was needed triggering…
there’s just no way i would ever discover this on my own; the only thing i ever do when losing geo is going straight back to try and get it back; i think i’ve only once been unable to actually do so, but it was a pretty fair amount, >2k,
lol, had i known this i wouldnt have spent any geo on these stupid eggs ever, rofl, dude i bought like 50 now, which adds up to close to 5k, OMG

You’ve lost far more Geo to eggs than I ever did to death. : )

well y, me too, lol; i guess it’s not rly a problem though given that there’s nothing to spend them on anyway atm, lol
and then there’s this banker dude who made off with 4.5k, but u guys already spoiled here that i should be meeting him again later on, though i’m not sure what will happen when i do, lol
[so since u guys spoiled that, at first i wouldn’t leave my geo with him, but once i got 5k i was like f that, might as well give it to him in the hope that we will meet again instead of risking to just lose it]

i, i, how, but, i… 
you took the giant detour round?!? 
-i wont even comment on what’s clearly an egg obsession of yours, 
maybe someone’s professional couch that can help with such serious shopaholic disorder 
aaand this is why this game is beautiful, the vast plethora of options (once the initial mandatory stuff is out of the way) leading people astray into strange far off paths 
it is big, it has secrets, good lore, breakable walls and best of all; there is totally not scary monsters hiding in the dark waiting to eat you
i urge you to spend hours and hours discovering everything, i promise much more splendid challenges (and fights) awaits all little bugs with adventurous hearts 
PS, don’t worry about the wasted geo, totally not like there was super expensive charms for you to buy instead anyway

It wasn’t a detour to me, lol, it was da wae
Didn’t i tell u i only just discovered the royal waterways recently? lol

yea that’s the beauty of all the exploring, and every area having multiple entry points, there isn’t one fixed route, and everyone finds their own
the funny part is the game actually tries to “lead” you in a certain direction, (which is a bit easier done since the first parts are mandatory), so after you’ve been to Greenpath and gets tossed down into Shroomville, there is actually a couple of “suggestions” for you to enter the City of Tears from that direction
But since the path is blocked a bit way through you’re then “made” to find your way through the waterways and Dung defender to get over to the other side you needed to be.
What you did was, well, ignore all the cues and make your own way by wanting to explore other areas first that then led round to where you needed to go still.
But, since there are aaaall dose paths, “you can lead a cow to grass but you can’t force it to make milkshake”… aeh, or something

well, i just met the hollow knight, he kicked my ass, but i only tried once
so y, i found the dreamer in deepnest and the one in queen’s garden, was all cool, the beast’s den was a bit hard to get through/out, but all good, haven’t explored all of deepnest yet though, but i first wanted to see what would happen now that i killed all 3 dreamers; i’ll see about beating the hollow knight next time i get some gameplay in, if it’s not too hard; still haven’t found another pale ore for another upgrade…

yea you might need some further exploring for that (scream if you want general location hints)
but some, as you might have learned, aren’t just “explore & loot”, they require a “task” to be done maybe
total amounts of Pale Ores available

y im not sure but i think one was dropped by a boss, though i might remember that wrong, marmaduke kicked my ass hard btw, not going back to him atm, though i think i could maybe cheese him with the charm that spawns those fly thingies

depends on the charm, since glowing womb drains your mana per spawn, so once you run out you still need to hit (at the least to get more mana)
and they don’t do all that much dmg per hit (like maybe 1upgraded nail swing worth’s of dmg i think)
