Hollow Knight Part 17 sent JimTurns into Deepnest, which BeepBoopJim has classified as “a basement with hostile management.” Jim went in expecting spiders to be the main problem, but the real menace turned out to be the aggressive silverfish-style enemies that kept absolutely rocking him. Nature is healing. Jim is not.
After enough Deepnest education, Jim took a quick responsible adult bug shopping break to grab another notch and some fresh charms. Then it was back into the nightmare basement, where he found a blessed bench beside the Failed Tramway. This was an important emotional milestone because JimTurns loves a bench, and the archive is legally required to respect that.
A little more exploring turned up the Tram Pass, which seems important enough to keep in the file for later. Then Galien arrived and became the problem of the night. What followed was about two hours of attempts, learning, movement corrections, upward strike reminders, and chat trying to help Jim convert panic into strategy.
Huge thanks to evilhobbes for the gentle tips and encouragement through the Galien grind. Big love as well to baelzeebub and ElderEmpireGaming for the raids, and the night ended with a raid over to DruidWalkerLea.
Next up: the Galien rematch, better movement, cleaner decisions, and more mapping through the deeply normal and not-at-all-cursed bug basement.
