The player has already noticed this, but all throughout the kingdom there are grubs that have been captured in glass containers. They can be found in every region and for each grub saved the Grubfather in the Forgotten Crossroads will give the Knight a reward. These rewards can include geo, charms, relics, and m

The False Knight is the first main boss that you will come across, meaning that he's not particularly difficult to take down. However, if you return to the arena and strike the remains of the boss with the Dream Nail, you'll be granted entrance to the Failed Champion fi

It should also be noted that there does exist another platforming section in the White Palace if players really enjoy platforming that much. It is called the Path of Pain and it is a hidden location that can be accessed by breaking a certain wall. Just be warned that the Path of Pain lives up to its name. It is so difficult to overcome that the regular White Palace seems easy by compari

Equipping charms, as described by the game, is easy. Just go to the nearest bench, open the inventory, and select the charm. But players will quickly realize that they can’t wear all the charms they want. The Knight starts with 3 notch slots, and each charm takes up a certain amount of these notches. As with charms, players can collect more notches through purchase, defeating certain enemies and explorat

This infected jellyfish fight is necessary to uncovering the mysteries and lies of the Pale King's rule. Luckily, you should have the ever-loyal Quirrel to break its defenses, allowing you to strike its core. The boss itself isn't the challenge here, but rather avoiding the spasms of electricity that follow you around the ar

However, even as the game teaches you to hone your skills and 'get good' you’ll find that a lot of the bosses will push you for everything that you are worth. Hollow Knight’s hardest bosses will put you to the ultimate t

But the main feature of Godmaster is its pantheons. Consisting of a series of glorified boss rushes, these pantheons will pit the player against an array of bosses back to back. With there being so little time to heal, the player has to have supreme confidence in their fighting ability in order to overcome even one of these pantheons. But once the player defeats the first pantheon, they will then be granted access to another. One with tougher enemies and a set or arenas that have its own hazards like spikes and pitfalls. In some cases, there isn’t even a floor. So not only does the player need to be good at combat, but they need to have decent platforming ski

Undertale is not only one of the best indie games of the past decade, but one of the best games period. What makes this all the more impressive is the fact that the game was funded almost exclusively through Kickstarter , with a little over $50,000 pledged throughout the course of the campaign. To say that the game exceeded expectations would therefore be a bit of an understatem

This boss battle is a lot more difficult, forcing you to deal with an enemy that is constantly launching themselves around the arena (while projectiles rain from the sky), not to mention trying to hit the guy at the same t

In many ways, the pantheons represent the greatest challenge for Hollow Knight players. A challenge that requires the player to be the absolute best if they want to overcome the final pantheon and get a new ending of the g

It is a bit difficult to locate, but there does exist an NPC quest where the Knight is charged with transporting a delicate flower from the Resting Grounds to the Queen’s Gardens without receiving any damage. Complete this difficult quest and not only will the player receive a rare achievement, but they will also receive a mask shard and the ability to present delicate flowers to certain NPCs throughout the g

Remember that the Failed Champion cannot give you Soul, so having health-oriented charms. Keep an eye on falling debris and stay in clear areas. The Failed Champion has heavily telegraphed moves, so keep an eye out for his atta

Nevertheless, Great Nailsage Sly is quick, deadly, and will become incredibly annoying to fight. He's so quick that learning any sort of pattern takes a lot amount of practice and probably (unless you're incredible at the game) a lot of dea

This may not seem like much when compared to the likes of Diablo Immortal , but it's important to take the scale of each project into account. Countless people worked on Blizzard's controversial title over the course of several years, including several whose sole purpose was to figure out how best to manipulate players into spending their money. By contrast, Flappy Bird was created by just one man over the course of a few days, making its 50 million+ downloads far more impress

Bloodstained is the most recent Metroidvania on this list as of 2019. It falls more in line with the "vania" part of the equation as it is truly emulating Castlevania from the look, RPG elements, castle, and so on. It’s not as ominous as Hollow knight abilities Knight and it falls on the easier side if one grinds enough. That said it does have a fun gameplay loop filled with lots of secrets to uncover while exploring the castle’s dep
