No reward for beating path of pain?

[Razin_Shah]

Not even an achievement? What the heck.

This also happened to me, I sent a ticket to game support but so far nothing, I believe it's a bug and they will resolve it.

Its fully intended.

You do get a journal entry in the Hunter's Journal, called "Seal of Binding".
But you don't get anything else, especially not an achievement, as this challenge is meant to be as optional as possible.

This. The level of hidden and lack of reward is meant to discourage anyone from doing it because they feel they need to, rather than because they want to.

You also get a hint as to why the Hollow Knight failed to contain the infection. What kind of reward were you expecting? A pat on the shoulder? Have you tried giving yourself one?

tbh sending something to game support rather than checking is...

the reward for PoP is the eureka moment at the end. it explains so much in one tiny cut scene. plus the seal of binding, oc

real achivements lists are beyond dead, most platimums (100% achievements) are now free

You chose to take the path of pain and expected it wouldn't end in pain? The lack of reward is part of the painful experience.

Thaaats right! It's NOTHING! That's what makes it painful!

No it doesn't. We already knew the Hollow Knight had emotions.

And the reward is the feeling of overcoming great hardship, greater than any other emotions one gets from video games.

Agreed, so many gamers complain about achievement lists that they've been nerfed too despite them being completely optional and pointless tasks. So we get mainstream games that are too easy even on the hardest mode and achievement lists that never ask you to do the toughest tasks or which can all be done on Easy mode. This is why we shouldn't listen to fans...they just want to get rid of everything that has any challenge and ruin it for the rest of us.

Youre too surface level. Yeah, the reward is the relief, but it does have lore significance.
The most obvious one is we know what was the idea instilled that tarnished the pure vessel.
Then, knowing the PK loved his child changes his character.
Without that, we could think that PK did not care about the vessels. But now we know he did care about the Vessel, and probably about all the vessels. This changes the meaning of "No cost too great" from meaning "It was a necessary sacrifice" to something more akin to "What i did was right. I mustn't regret."
Further, thanks to this line, "Few ways a charm appears but mainly it's from final wish, a dying bug's potent desire crystallised into these gorgeous, powerful trinkets." Means that the king, in death, may have wished for something, causing kingsoul.
And so on.
One implication causes another and so on.
If you want to respond, dont be like last time, saying "you dont know the lore" and refusing to actually think.

If you want attention for it that badly, just brag about it online, and there will be some people that go "Good job!", etc.

It's called Path of Pain for a reason. You do it to prove something to yourself. Nothing more. What did you expect? For the devs to come to your house and write an article about you?

This is an old and outdated game. What would there be to brag about? I'm sure everything have been explored already.

What are you so pressed about? lmao

... What? You're the one that made a thread complaining about no achievement or reward for it.

Did you forget to switch to your alt to fake people taking your side or something?
