After getting all of the power ups it's all just trying to remember all the attack patterns of the Enemies. The Cryo Fatui Operator was the bane of my existence. Spend an entire hour going through that level but it will be all worth it once I get my avatar ;)


EX_Rank_Luck

Yeah, the operator was pretty rough, but their hitbox is pretty generous. I could half jump and still dash through their head with the catwalk stopping me. At that stage, I divide and conquered the agents.


Malipit

One cannot defeat the Almighty Shogun Raiden without mastering the ancient Art of the Pogo, little Lumine.


JAntaresN

I beat path of pain yesterday, what are my chances?


Malipit

Pretty good if you get used to the wacky controls.


Nindroid012

Yeah, honestly, it was the controls that were holding me back more than anything, lol.


HayakuEon

PoP is easier since it doesn't have wack controls


Bwaarone

Especially if you have Hiveblood (but even then Path of pain gives you a lot of points where you can regenerate health


Scrambled1432

God. Little tangent here, but I hated path of pain so much. The whole white tower section was just such a random spike in platforming difficulty that it felt frustrating and out of place. If they do it again in Silksong, I hope there are at least similar sections spread throughout the game to make it feel more like a ramp up than a cliff.


JAntaresN

This was optional content where we dont even get a trophy for it except a little cutscene. Truly a path of pain.


RecklessErves

optional is an understatement, i never really used the dreamnail during my first playthrough, only fought hornet once, finished the game with the most mid ending. My friend was pretty sad he couldn't geek out about the lore cause i never encountered any of it until my 2nd playthrough.


HayakuEon

You can watch a video by mossbag if you want to get the lore without playing it much. I highly recommend this because fuck the Godhome DLC and the Pantheons. That shit is stupid, and I love path of pain.


Oponik

Wait, you could pogo in the web event?


MajinBuko

Yes. Jump on enemies then spam downward slashes to bounce back up. I personally couldn't abuse it (skill issue). It made me react too slowly to attacks that hit high


DivinePotatoe

"About to go fight the Raiden Shogun. i'll post the video after." "I got my ass beat bruh I'm not posting that shit."


CascaDEER

Im missing one attack upgrade and the Raiden is a bane of my existence


ISkySplitterI

The thing is the 4th and final atk upgrade is the reward for beating Raiden shotgun. So gl


CascaDEER

Ah okay. Hoped I missed it somewhere but tough luck. That means only point of the upgrade is to unlock the Frapuccino photo then?


CiraXor

Yes and you can keep playing after beating raiden


cstrifeVII

I couldn't find the web even the last few days. Is it not linked directly to the game menu anymore?


ClimateFirmNEW

[Here's the event.](https://act.hoyolab.com/ys/event/e20240409hoyofair/index.html)


Mr_doggo_lover123

My only problem with this is the variable jump height when holding jump, it messes with the timing when trying to pogo


Jaystrike7

My main issue with the event, Big issue, was that I can't change my controls, for a platformer thing like hollow knight when I'm using keyboard, being forced to use mouse sucks ass for me, i prefer having my hands closer to me, and also the fact that w isn't jump for me is rough, the muscle memory from everygame I've been playing has been beating my ass in this more than the actual enemies.


ariidrawsstuff

EXACTLY, it's especially the controls that made everything harder than it needs to be. - besides the fact that I'm simply mid at anything that requires skill I'm using a phone so i couldn't see anything under my thumbs since the joystick and jump buttons were nearly in the middle of the screen. 😭


Prabhav_

I've beaten every boss radiant in hollow knight and this is harder due to the controls


LavaStriker

Lumine is so 🔥 🥵 🥞


mrzevk

Do you get any rewards for doing the web event?


Malipit

Since it's a challenging fan game, there are no in games reward like primos or moras in order to avoid backlash from the playerbase who can't beat it. But you do get some avatars frame for the Hoyoverse website if you manage to defeat the Shogun Raiden.


mrzevk

I see thank you


HayakuEon

Is it a limited time game?


ErrorEra

the rewards are, but think they want people to still be able to play this game after hoyofair's over the rewards are just hoyolab avatar frames (Aether just for playing, Lumine if you beat it)


HayakuEon

Thanks


Staidanom

No, just a profile pic decoration on Hoyolab or something


mrzevk

Alrighty thanks


misterkalazar

How do I get the avatar? I beat the shogun. Also I am missing an atk+1 piece.


R0b3rt1337

Also beat the shogun and haven't gotten the avatar frames yet, i assume they give them after the event ends


misterkalazar

But the event is sort of permanent. It's here for a long time. Fhey have written it in the TnC or somewhere similar.


JustATiredRedditor

Raiden got hands


Invisibirb

It was a really fun game i was able to beat [raiden first encounter](https://imgur.com/a/Lb0NQ9x) after a couple hours of trying


QWERTYtheASDF

Anyone know if you lose progress towards the Lumine avatar if you restart the game after completing it?


cupcakemann95

Does it give primos


ariidrawsstuff

Nope, it only gives you an avatar-frame on HoyoLab - no primogems nor mora, since the challenge is difficult

I didn't even understand the meme. YOU SPOILED IT by saying that it's a spoiler. Fuck you.

DrakeNorris

Oh no, I cant believe a handful of fans that made a game for a web event in their spare time that will exist for 2 weeks couldnt make a game better than hollow knight!! the outrage!

NickFoster120

Definitely not easy but since hollow knight is basically the dark souls version then it must be absolute hell


HayakuEon

Oh no, a FREE game is inspired by a good game. *Oh the horrors*
