okay, huge updates

So first I started collecting Grimm Troupe flames. But one guy was like, hey help me interrupt the ritual. Well you know me, I'm all about breaking cycles and stopping rituals, so yeah let's proceed down this story path instead and see what happens...!

...

oh, it just literally cancels the whole circus quest

okay

I was frustrated so I decided to go fight and beat the Hollow Knight. Took 2 or 3 tries. Fun fight. Definitely didn't expect him to stab himself!

Anyway roll credits, done with the game!!!

..................

so with that done, I went back to the royal waterways. I'd heard there was something there, so I focused my search on the area in the map where something could actually fit, and I was quickly rewarded with the junk pit. Hopped into Godhome and ohhhhh boy this is gonna be the end of me huh

While I was in the sewers I also went over and fought the White Defender. Took me quite a few tries, but like many bosses, when I was on "the run" I barely got hit at all.

By going through the godhome stuff I did see I had missed the Brooding Mawlek from WAY back in the game. Whoops! So I went back and QUICKLY killed that.

So then I wasn't sure what to do, and my friend reminded me there was a door I saw earlier that had the same mark as the King's Crest or whatever it was called. Right! Totally forgot! So then I ended up in the Abyss, and FINALLY GOT THE SHADE CLOAK. Okay sure there are only like 5 of those shadow barriers in the entire game, and one of them is pointless because you find the long way around (and get the map) long before. But still! The iframes are great.

So checking out those shadow barriers I'd marked earlier, most are just items but the Queen's Garden leads to a fun fight (RIP Cloth)

And I finally got the other half of the white mask. Had to unequip Long Nail, which has been a permanent fixture from the start, but hey infinite regenerating soul? Can't pass that up.

This mask thing says it opens the way to a birthplace, and Hornet in the Abyss said that was my birthplace, so I headed back. Explored around and found a weird egg thing... went inside and, boom, Void Heart. Now the enemy shades don't bother me, and all it cost was my amazing regenerating soul charm :(

That's about where I am now. There are 4 charms left, 2 mask shards, 1 colosseum round...

There's a door in the abyss with blue butterflies outside so presumably you need to go back with temp HP. How much? idk
