Invisible walls during City of Tears boss fight

[Sedres]

Hi guys,

Encountered a weird glitch whete during the red eyed knight fight (dunno what it's called), weird invisible walls seem to be getting in my way while I try to avoid the bosses attacks. They seem to be linked to where the boss teleporting above you for a downward attack. Makes the fight much more difficult. Anyone encountered this or can suggest a fix?

I think the boss you're talking about is watcher knight? If so, i just did this one and had no problems (other than difficulty of course)

I think OP is talking about the Soul Master boss fight?

Version is 1.0.3.7, playing on Windows 10. Boss is in the "Soul Sanctum" but doesn't appear to have a name given to it.

There's definitely something odd going on because every time the boss does the plunging attack, I can see that he also somehow "hits" the wall closest to him at the height he teleports.

I'm happy to go and get my save file but I'm not sure where I could upload it.

You'd be better off getting a video of the situation and uploading it to Youtube.

I'm not familiar with making videos. If that is what is required by official support, than I'll come to that then.

Hmm, maybe you're talking about the "Soul Warrior" who's actually considered a "mini-boss", does he look like this? http://hollowknight.wikia.com/wiki/Soul_Warrior

Soul Master's name *should* appear at bottom left of screen at start of fight (at about 0:16 in this vid but you may not want to watch if you haven't got there yet): https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=XLBhKzHzdlM

Yes, that's the boss. I have an Nvidia card so I'll try to upload some footage.

Do the invisible walls show up only when you're on the ground? I've had that happen in various parts of the game (not during boss fights, fortunately). An invisible seam will show up in the floor which I can't walk past, but I can jump over it with no difficulty.

It happens haphazardly, both on the ground in in the air. I have some footage where it happened but it's hard to pin-point after the fact. At one point my mid-air dodge was cut short, and at another point when walking away from the boss I stopped moving. The most obvious thing is when the boss manages to hit the wall despite being no-where near it.

I'll post a link once I've gotten it uploaded. I live rural so it'll take a while.

Here's a link to the video:

Unfortunately, I can no longer annotate the video to help highlight then I have the problems. You can hear the boss hitting the wall after he teleports into the air depsite not being near the wall a few times, and there's 1 instance each of my mid-air dash being cut short and walking but not moving. I'll try and pick out the minutes/seconds when this happens to make it easier.

Done, sorry about that!

I never noticed invisible walls but yeah I heard a weapon smack the far left wall when he teleported and couldn't figure out what the heck was happening.

[Nicholas Steel]

At 1:00 there is a strange weapon clash effect way up in the top-right corner even though neither entity hit up there.

At 1:25 somehow something clangs against the left edge of the screen a mile away from everyone.

1:30 again a clang against something at the edge of the screen for no reason.

1:50 "

1:52 "

2:11 "

2:12 "

2:18 "

2:28 "

Didn't notice arbitrarily shortened dashing. The above times are when something unknown clangs against something at the edge of the screen and these occurrences make zero sense.

The invisible walls are really hard to point out without controllers prompts on the screen at the same time. Like, I know when I'm moving ont he controller and it's not happening in the game, but it's hard to say when I stop moving that I'm still holding the controls. I also did my best to try and keep my feet on the ground during the fight incase it caught me out at a bad time
