I have once again forgotten to post my last hollow knight adventure from last week, and I did a LOT today so I think I'm going to make two posts.
First things first, my playthrough from last week... I actually don't remember that much because my memory is shite and I've been going to sleep past 1am for the past week.
For a quick summary of what I do recall, I explored more of the crystal peaks and tried to skip getting the monarch wings to get the pale ore at the top, but I sadly am not a speedrunner and gave that up pretty quickly. I then went to a place I hadn't explored yet, which turned out to be the snail shaman's hut. But I uh... I forgot I had the crystal heart, which led to me trying to jump over the pit... leading to me falling into the Resting Grounds, finding the Dreamers, and getting the Dreamnail, which while unwelcome was a surprising detour. I eventually made it back INTO the hut and died multiple times trying to get to the top and then looked up what the rewards were, and then proceeded to rage quit the area. Look, descending dark and a grub are nice and all but those crystal hunter things are soooo frustrating!! I just couldn't do it
After that I think I went back to the sewers to try and get Isma's tear, which wasn't too bad. The Dung Defender fight only took me a handful of tries, mostly thanks to spamming desolate dive lol. I got Isma's tear pretty quick after that and explored a little bit of the other side of the City of Tears. I also think I went around to some of the acid areas that were blocked off before but I don't remember that super well. ALSO! I was so scared I'd killed the Defender for good and couldn't talk to him again, and I was really upset because he seems cool, and I was so relived when I went back to the area and he was there.
I visited the Nailmaster in Greenpath, and the parkour frustrated me to no end. It seemed like it should be so easy but those stupid thorns kept killing me, and sometimes my crystal heart wouldn't activate and I'd just fall into the pit. ugh T.T But I eventually reached his hut and got the nail art, and I think that was about it for that night.
I got the Dreamnail, Isma's tear, and a new Nail art, as well as some new locations to add to the map, and the Dreamer markers. The only major area I hadn't explored yet was... Deepnest (and also the Anicent Basin that I found that day but shhhh, its foreshadowing)
But I think I'm going to call that the post for today, and I'll post today's playthrough sometime tomorrow because it's 1 am again. Whoops

Back when I was playing my first file, this lynel tucked away here on a higher area west of Lake Kilsie in Hebra was the last lynel I found. Sometime after that I happened to see a map that detailed where all the lynels in BotW’s Hyrule are, and I was both gratified that I’d found them all on my own, and a little sad that there weren’t any others for me to fight!
