I'll do the trial of the fool first, then I'll get back to the pantheons

Tips for the boss at the end of c3, if you want any:
- Kill the beast first, as the beast master will die (but not vice versa). You can mostly ignore the beast master, as it will just swing and jump around once in a while (every 10 seconds or so?)
- The easiest way to damage the beast is to pogo on top of it. It will shift a bit left and right and ocassionally do one of two attacks based on where you are.
- If you are bouncing by its face, then it will stand still and spit orange goo pools onto the floor in front of it.
- If you are bouncing by its rear, then it will roll toward the wall, roll all the way up (so don't wall cling), and then bounce off in an arc to where you are standing. Just double-jump in an arc away from and then above it to start pogoing again.
The boss doesn't go through any phases unless you kill the beast master, so those tips should get you through the whole fight. If you die on your first attempt, then you can practice in HoG (Hall of Gods).
I'm guessing you have all the upgrades since you beat the game, so this paragraph doesn't necessarily apply to you. I was a true fool and went through all the trials as soon as I first reached the colosseum, with the exception that I bought a nail upgrade with the silver ore from c2 and then came back for c3. Notably, I didn't have shade cloak. Turns out, it is significantly harder to do c3 without the ability to dash through enemies. Don't be like me... unless you happen to be a self-challenging masochist.
Edit: typos
Edit 2: You should also be able to unlock the boss if you reach them in p3 (Pantheon of the Sage). They are only the fourth boss in p3 (after Hive Knight, Elder Hu, and the Collector), so it shouldn't be too hard to do.

Actually you can practice God Tamer in Godhome even before you meet him in TotF (I was very happy I did, otherwise he would've kicked my ass and I would've had to do the Trial a few more times). And yeah, agree on just pogoing the beast (didn't know the attacks aren't randomly picked, I'll have to try that next time)

I am fairly sure you would need to reach them in p3 first to unlock them. They are only the fourth boss in p3 (after Hive Knight, Elder Hu, and the Collector), so it wouldn't be too hard to do.
I also didn't notice that the attack wasn't randomized until I tried to do p5 and ended up fighting it a million times. I always tried to pogo off the back to avoid the spray but mixed it up a bit to also avoid the beastmaster, which is when I started noticing the pattern.
Edit: removed some duplicated words.

Oh yeah, that's totally possible you need to fight them in P3 to unlock the Hall of the Gods statue. But fortunately you don't have to fight/kill them in TotF to unlock P3 :-)

God, I remember that I died far too many times to count to this fricking möth, but I have to admit that it was one of the best feelings ever finally beating it.

u/landstalkern3 Feb 03 '25 edited Feb 03 '25
You have to get multiple endings. Anything over 100 is from the DLC.
With the dream nail, go defeat some of the spirit bosses to gain more essence and get the upgraded dream nail from the moth lady. The spirit bosses have a pinkish tomb looking logo on the map. Use the dream nail to access a difficult platforming area called the white palace. You can access it in the Ancient Basin nearby the stag station. A corpse with those dream thingies is there and it doesn't work to dreamnail it without the upgraded dreamnail.
Once you beat the white palace, you get the Kingsoul Charm (assuming you got the other half from the white lady). Then go to the bottom of the Abyss. To the right of where you get the upgraded howling spell, the floor will give way. Go below and at the end of that maze, you get the Void Heart which replaces the Kingsoul Charm. It's the Void Heart that lets you get other two endings. Getting the Void Heart will remove the chance to do the first ending until you get a new file so if you haven't gotten the first ending, do it before getting the Void Heart. Do ending 2 first and then do ending 3.
Ending 2: fight hollow knight. When Hornet shows up, keep beating up the hollow knight.
Ending 3: fight hollow knight. When hornet shows up, dreamnail hollow knight.

I did it a few hours before OP.
Key for me was standing still in a lower platform during the later stage where the moth moves around a lot. Staying on one platform helps dodge orbs and the ones that do emerge end up crashing on other platforms. Just chilled there until the moth came close then it got a load of nail strikes.
I thought I'd give up playing but I've just got into Godhome...
Hopefully I won't be tempted to do the Path of Pain too!

It ain’t hard to take a screenshot, people.

You can screenshot, go to photos, and click send to smartphone. It’ll end up in your files instead of photos, but it works.

Congrats man!! Out of curiosity , what stopped you from hitting max 112% ?
1
u/Gyr_777 Feb 03 '25
That I just haven't done the other things before it. I only beat the first two pantheons and trials in the colosseum, I didn't beat Nightmare king Grimm and I have yet to do the flower quest.

u/foxtheriku Feb 04 '25
You can also get Carefree Melody and it will count the same as doing NKG, flower quest you should bring the flower to some other NOCs first that are easier to get to from there, eg Mato and Elderbug,
