Okay, here’s a breakdown of the advice from the text, geared towards helping a player prepare for and potentially skip the Last Judge fight in Hollow Knight: silksong:
I. Preparation – Optimizing Your Build
* Crests:
* Enhanced Hunter’s Crest: Best for dealing extra damage after repeated hits. Requires unlocking the Weaver door in Moss Grotto (using the Needolin) and accessing Weavenest Alta.
* Reaper’s Crest: Best for healing and silk orb generation. Reward for clearing Reaper’s chapel in Greymoor (above the Moorwing arena). Also helpful for pogoing over the sands during the runback.
* Offensive Tools: Tool choice isn’t critical, but prioritize tools with good range and multiple uses. The Straight Pin and Longpin are recommended for safety. Avoid using tools when the Last Judge is throwing the censer.
* Red Tool (Plasmium Phial): highly recommended. Obtained by completing “The Alchemist’s Wish” in the Wormways.Inject Hornet with plasmium to give her temporary masks. If you have 6 masks already, injecting at full health gives her 7, allowing you to defeat her in 4 hits rather of 3.
* Blue Tool (Magma Bell): purchase from the Forge Daughter in Deep Docks. Reduces the Last Judge’s fire damage.Evading is still preferred, but this provides a safety net.
II. General Strategy
* Timing and Patience: These are the most notable skills for this fight.
* Record Your Runs: Reviewing footage can definitely help you learn the boss’s attack patterns without the pressure of survival.
III. Skipping the Last Judge
* Alternative Route: you can reach the Citadel without defeating the Last Judge, but it’s a arduous path.
* Path: Navigate through Sinner’s Road,The Mist,and the Exhaust.
In essence,the text emphasizes a combination of careful preparation (crest choice,tools,and the Plasmium Phial) and strategic gameplay (timing,patience,and learning the boss’s attacks). It also offers a challenging alternative for players who want to avoid the fight altogether.
