You need to get back to the grubfather in a cave above the path to greenpath, he will throw you some poop for each grub you found.

He just tells me about the shop keeper I brought back a month ago. The only thing I can think of is to buy his key, but it costs 900 and I only have like 250.

I actually put nearly 6 hours in one day in this game, that's quite long even for a metroidvania. In others, I'd be almost done already.
so the currency is poop. That's quite funny

Alright, put more hours into the game and I enjoy it even more. Platforming is more essential in this game than some of the recent metroidvanias I've played but since my last post, I've only fought 1 other boss, The Brooding Mawlek. I discovered Greenpath, Fungal wastes and Howling cliff. Fungal Wastes was one I randomly stumbled upon but quite liked. I don't like the area with the jellyfish though, they're a pain. I found the bank and it's cool that I can store my souls/poop/money. I really wasn't expecting the beginning area to have more to it so I was surprised when I went back and found an entire area that can be navigated. I'm still not sure how much "progress" I'll say I've made but I'm thoroughly impressed with the game so far.

One dumb thing in this game is how the map works. I'm fine with buying a map for each new location, it's cool that you can find the cartographer bug or wait to go back to the hub and buy it from his wife. What I find dumb is having to equip a charm so that I know where I am on the map and also the map not updating until I rest is stupid.
Since the last time, the game has opened up a hell of a lot more still, this game is huge. Right now, I've found new areas that I've yet to even explore at all. I found the city of tears, resting grounds, crystal peak and Royal Waterways. I also stumbled upon the dream gods and fought the teleporting wizard bug which actually wasn't that hard, I only died 5 times before killing it. Then I fought the macho bug and it was interesting, it has a cool personality.
I got the flying ability and then beat The Dream warrior. So far so good.

So I find this room with lots of bosses and I'm fighting this boss and it's impossible to beat, I search the name online just to find that it's part of the DLC. shit

I've finally made it past the fog canyon, I can't say it enough but the game is really expansive. New areas just keep popping up.

Just purchased last night and beat the first boss who wielded the mace. I really enjoy how precise the movement and hitboxes are.
I killed the Mantis Lords last night after about a half a dozen attempts. MAJESTIC INCLINE

By this point I've found most of the map, got most of the charms, got my nail to the 2nd last upgrade. All I have left is the deep nest. The final trial is hard as hell, the flying wizards are a pain.

I really don't like the deepnest.

Finally beat the game, took me 30 hours.
SPOILERS SPOILERS SPOILERS SPOILERS
Got all the grubs, 33 out of 36 grubs, all of the dream warriors, most of the dream bosses, and the real ending (didn't realize there was another one, though I did look up where to use the kingsoul since I'd forgotten where I was birthed herp derp).
Pros:
+ Great artstyle, music, and theme. Game does a good job of immersing you in its world
+ The map's size and variety lends the game a real sense of exploration and discovery. The choice to limit fast-travel to stag stations works very well
+ Solid platforming.
Cons:
- Clumsy spammy combat. Since the devs decided not to have combos, I wish enemies (especially bosses) didn't take so many hits to kill.
- Can't add notes to map, makes backtracking/filling out the map more tedious than it should have been
- No boss health bars
- Special nail abilities and most charms are largely useless
Solid game, far longer than I expected it to be, but I don't expect to ever replay it. Salubra's laughter will forever be engraved in my mind.

I killed the hollow knight after 25 hours and got that ending, then explored fog canyon and queen gardens. Not sure what else there is to do right now.

Haven't played the game in a while and got back today. I found and beat the White palace. This took a good 5 - 6 hours to complete, it was peak retarded. I don't think Hollow Knight is a good enough platformer to have a level like this. I fought the Hollow Knight but with my current build, it's far too easy to button mash him before hornet comes to help. The real problem is the radiance, this fucker is hard.
Yeah, I ended up following a White Palace skips guide on youtube (teehee.)

Beat the game one hundo the other day. Great game - but isn't the art style, the voices and the theming a bit off-putting? Everything is obviously of high quality, but it is as if it is trying to appeal to an immature niche, it's infantilized. Makes me feel like a degenerate for playing it.
Did none of you suckas play IWBTG? White Palace was way too short, what was there should have been just the introduction to the level.
