Sportsmanship is mostly dead. I wish it wasn't, and I still prescribe to being a respectful opponent in whatever I'm playing. I don't think 'cheese strats' or whatever fake-honorable things matter at all to me. I just think online gaming lost the plot a few years back when "He's so mad" became the go-to response to an outplay...self-referential fluffing by content creators and in-game trolling in efforts to make the other player 'feel bad'...those became the new goals of gaming instead of just winning.
*edit : I realize this isn't really the context of the discussion, but as someone who used to read instruction manuals for games, OP sounded like they might appreciate how information is delivered/discovered in the game *edit
As with most things in this game, if you don't understand something, just keep it in the back of your mind. Most everything will make sense when it's supposed to make sense. I think keeping this in mind will help you progress without constantly feeling like you're missing out on things.
I had always been behind in the PC arms race my entire life, from my 286 to my first Pentium to, well, yeah, I was always at least 4 or 5 years behind the curve.
I assume at this point you've rung both the East bell and the West bell then? I'd take a few moments to go through the manual and really scour each page. Exploration is great and the game is very good about trying to 'lock you out' of the wrong directions, but it's also very great at letting you do whatever you can figure out how to do =P
Thanks! I have indeed rung both now. I'm at the Forrest Fortress boss right now (next boss I've found), which appears to be the location of the red gear/orb/McGuffin if I remember the instruction manual correctly.
"just keep checking the manual" is always my go-to suggestion for figuring out what comes next. I'm glad you're in the Eastern Fortress and I'm excited for your continued journey!
GOOD NEWS: Once you backtrack a little and do the East area, all the hard work you've put in to get this far without the missing item is going to make you feel like a literal unstoppable god for at least a while.
Sounds like from some of your comments here that you looked some stuff up. The manual tells you everything you need to know and the order you need to do it. Looking stuff up removes the magic from this game. It's not Hollow Knight and it's not trying to be. Discovery and "Oh, that's what that is!" is 80-90% of the reward given to the players in this game. This isn't just a "Where are all the bosses?" game.
I had a friend ask if something changed today. They use leftclick for attackmoveclick and when they click on the minimap to move the map around, it 'attackmoveclicks' on that spot and moves their character. Is this something that changed in the last patch?
For the chimes, you don't NEED to know music, but it's much more obvious if you know how music notation works. Notation is more straight forward than you think and you might be able to piece it together if you just stare at it while listening to the chimes. There are settings to remove ambiance and music and stuff that might help you isolate the windchimes so you can hear it better. You'll want to be where you can hear the chimes. You're 100% on the right track with the pages given as hints.
As a fairly new parent when I started playing it, the bath tub section scared the living hell out of me. It was so amazingly done, how it would probably appear all magical even with all the danger. I’ll probably remember that one scene for the rest of my life.
Definitely FF7. Was kinda amazed that happened to a main character I invested time in and I wondered if it was only temporary for quite awhile, even if I reached the acceptance stage later. Obviously pretty memorable and widely known example, but it was my first time a major one died in any game I'd played at the time.
This for me, as far as actually affecting me and me remembering it. I also wasn't sure if it was permanent, so it didn't really hit me until many hours later.
Some people might consider what I'm about to say a mini-spoiler of the smallest kind so I'll put it in spoiler tags anyway, but what I will tell you won't take away any 'finding it out for yourself' in the sense that I'm not showing you how to solve anything. It's just a little clarification that might put your mind at ease. I know for myself, I had a LARGE fear of missing out on content so I was afraid to do a few things.
Standing your ground and swinging is usually a bad time in most of these fights. There are enemies later on that absolutely wrecked me, but very often getting through a hard challenge is almost always immediately rewarded with a shortcut or shrine/save for your efforts. I really enjoyed that 'play pattern loop' or whatever you want to call it and I'm terrible at combat and still enjoyed it, but I can see it being frustrating for some.
League of Legends to Divinity Original Sin 2. I'm sure I could go in and remap allll the controls for DOS2 but I still haven't really gotten into it because the character and camera controls are so much different than the default.
I knew I would never get to play the game for the first time again. I didn't want it to end. I walked (not ran) to the door on the last approach. I'm actually kinda welling up right now thinking about the experience. "It was the game I've always wanted to play" and I don't think there will be an experience that specific to me ever again. I expect it sounds overdramatic, but it's just how it is. Everyone experiences things in their own ways.
East Forest is where they got the sword and started their journey, ringing the East Bell. They need follow the path set out by the manual. They're not to where you think they are yet. They said they just got the shield.

Can't answer that since I played on Gamepass(Xbox series) and Switch.
Isn't it obvious?

I felt like finding the remains of one of these earlier helped lower everyone's guard for this moment.

I went and copied my hints I posted to someone before:
Small addition.
I always forget the gun is an item. I never got it on my first playthrough.
As a fairly new parent when I started playing it, the bath tub section scared the living hell out of me. It was so amazingly done, how it would probably appear all magical even with all the danger. I’ll probably remember that one scene for the rest of my life.
"how it would probably appear all magical"
Are you sure it dropped coins? I don't think it drops anything at all.

So it's actually called the Eastern Vault in english, and you can go there by going directly east after the overworld checkpoint
East Forest is where they got the sword and started their journey, ringing the East Bell. They need follow the path set out by the manual. They're not to where you think they are yet. They said they just got the shield.
I'm going to continue this in spoiler tags so that OP isn't spoiled
don't. they just looked the answer up and unless they're trolling us, they missed actually doing the puzzles.
lol that's not as clever sounding as you think it is, spoiler tags or not
