any tips for the 3rd pantheon?

i keep dying to Zote but when I face him in the hall of gods it's a peice of cake.
my charm set right now is
-Mark of pride
-Unbreakable strength
-Long nail
-Fragile Heart
-Void Heart(i guess)

I find it's best to attack him after he does an attack and then back off, since his movement is very erratic. You don't want to be above him when he suddenly jumps or right next to him when he decides to just walk into you.

Avoid using Nail Arts, they take too long to execute. When he does the run-around-waving-his-nail-like-an-idiot attack, you can pogo on top of him to avoid taking damage, then use Descending Dark near the end of the attack to get off a bunch of damage. I like to use the Quick Slash/Steady Body combo to get in a lot of quick hits between attacks.

Also, I think you might be missing a Charm Notch, unless you just have an unused notch in that setup.

Swap out Fragile Heart for Quick Slash. Fragile Heart isn't all that useful since all it does is slightly increase your health buffer. The amount by which Quick Slash shortens fights easily outweighs that.

If you don't have enough notches to equip Quick Slash, it's as origamiswami said: you're missing a charm slot.

i looked at my achievements and the only thing im missing is a mask shard from the flower quest

[origamiswami]

Yep, you should have a total of 11 notches. If you're OK with spoilers, here's a link to a list of locations you can find them: https://hollowknight.fandom.com/wiki/Category:Charms

For Zote, once you have all the notches, try Mark of Pride, Unbreakable Strength, Quick Slash and Sharp Shadow. Sharp Shadow might seem a bit weird but if you are proficient at dodging it can be really helpful to dash through Zote and get some extra damage, while gaining distance. Also it can destroy the Zotelings which can help a lot.

For the Colosseum go with Unbreakable Strength, Long Nail, Nailmaster's Glory (fast nailarts are invaluable in all the trials) and Dreamwielder (so you can farm soul from the last enemy before the next wave). For the last 3 nothces I would suggest Quick Focus, but Dreamshield is also pretty good (especially with Dreamwielder) or maybe Shaman Stone if you are planing on using spells. Personally I had Dreamshield when I first beat the Trial of the Fool, but Quick Focus works better for me so that's my top pick.

Also don't go with Mark of Pride in the Colosseum otherwise you will have only 2 notches left and aside from Longnail or maybe Unbreakable Heart you don't want any other 2 notch charm. Plus if you are using mainly nailarts (which you should) you don't really need that much range, Longnail should be enough and then you can use on of the 3 notch charms I suggested above.

Best of luck ;)
