garlic is my favorite plant, and i hate how it was given to you in the world garlic stops being useful. every zombie in neon counters garlic exept for the roller, which defeats the point of garlic. garlic in wild west would be so useful.

I've seen some people saying this and I don't really get it. Garlic is countered by EVERYTHING. You really have to walk on eggshells with it b/c of all the zombies that just delete it, plus you gotta account for all the world gimmicks, 6/10 of which ruin it.

Even if it does work, it takes constant maintenance cause of its super low hp (why does it only stall 3 zombies wtf) and its effect isn't even that useful. I guess you're supposed to use it with Phat Beat, but phat beat is coincidentally also terrible.

Electric current is slightly better use for it, but then electric current ALSO acts as garlic, but with faster recharge, and it's not like you're really struggling with sun on a garlic strategy

yeah, but it is decent as an insta and besides, its fun.

anyways, i heard you also like hollow knight. im actually pretty good at the game. i beat all bosses hitless except for one. need any advice?

I beat all the bosses hitless, p5 with each binding individually, and p4 with all bindings at once. What's the last boss?

also favorite boss/character/location, anything you'd like to share really. Like I said, massive fanboy energy, and none of my friends play hollow knight so any outside contact is welcomed

the last boss is absolute radiance. and my favorite boss is brooding malwek, because i like its design philosophy.

also, i beat radiant markoth with math. i got his health just above half, then while he used his shield spin attack, i hit him with shade souls so he died before he could even get to his second phase.

absrad and zote are the only reasons I can't all bindings p5, they're so bullshit. brooding mawlek is cool because it kills tiso, the worst character in the game

the way i beat zote hitless was by spamming d dark, that guy can overwhelm you easily. and absolute radiance dosent have a trick, it just demands mastery of the game.

a lot of people think obblobles is bs, and it is, but it is a lot easier if you use shade soul to control its position, and understand that hitting it from behind makes it turn around.

idk why but the obblobbes were legitimately the hardest boss in the game for me. they were literally the last boss I radiant even after absrad and zote, the REAL bs bosses. I just couldn't deal with 2 different things spraying bullets. To this day they're one of the only bosses I regularly get hit on, although I've improved a bit to be able to focus on one first.

I don't really love using ddark because I'm mainly a nail guy and prefer to use my binded soul gage for heaing. plus zote isn't even in 1 place for me to ddark. he's constantly spitting shockwaves and enemies and woops he's above you better hope you have shade cloak

but you don't because you used it to dodge the pirouette big shockwave just a second ago so you're dead

his worst attack is honestly just walking forward tho; it has no tell, and esp without mark of pride i get hit by it the most. that and his stagger randomly jumping in the air when i'm pogoing his sword dash attack

the only pantheon ive beaten all bindings was the first one. i think i could probobly do the second one were it not for the obblobles. i cant imagine trying the fifth, you must be very good at the game.

anyways, the only boss i have yet to beat hitless is absolute radiance, and i dont think i can beat it at my skill level. ive played the boss so much that i have encountered two different glitches related to it

the first is a screen shake if you dream nail out, but the second just happens whenever and i dont know what causes it. sometimes, one of the swords will just spawn in at the start of the fight in a random place
