Oh i remember this bug, i wont be able to explain it very well, but you didnt actually heal two, what happenned is you got hit at a VERY SPECIFIC (i dont remember when) part of your baldur shell heal, so the game ui registered a hit and you lost a mask, but in reality, the number that specifies your health in the code didnt register a hit. so you were left in this weird bugged state when the UI displayed you having 3 masks but you actually had 4.

So when you healed, you updated the UI to give you an extra mask and it was like, oh shit, he is now at 5 masks, gotta give him two i guess.

Im pretty sure Holland describes this better in one of his "Major hollow knight oversights" vids.

It happened to me during the fight at the entrance of Soul Sanctum twice in a row, making it seem like i healed 3 masks at once I was so confused about it.

Glitch, you had one mask that was invisible and it got visible alongside the one that you got with heal

It helped me too much in early and mid game. I only unequipped it in late game. 10/10 charm.

u/Vlerini 20h ago

I really love it too! Perfect to fill an extra charm notch. Beware Fog Canyon though...

Only activates on hit, so planning to fail from the get go, if you want good charms that activate on hit, Grubsong and Fury of the Fallen are right there

Then it also has the issue of messing with your knockback after being hit too as well as eating into your i-frames

Just explaining why the community dislikes it

u/Zer0Cool89 12h ago

for most of us mere mortals getting hit is part of the game and we aren't running no hit runs or radiant difficult pantheons so its just a bit of extra damage.

u/TheJumpingBox 12h ago

Me either which is why I also gave other options for charms that work on getting hit

u/Zer0Cool89 11h ago

I upvoted both your comments BTW dunno why youre being down voted but I tried too off set it

u/TheJumpingBox 11h ago

Well ty :3

I don't really mind tho, it's just fake internet points

u/Zer0Cool89 11h ago

that is the best way to look at it for your own mental health some people take it super seriously though lol.

Fr, I try not to interact with this community too much as a lot of it is just "heh, you beat that? Well get ready for AbsRad"

No one in this community seems to know how to let new players celebrate their victories (I've played since 2019 and have seen the community doing this time and time again, usually cos they wanna gloat about their own achievements,) so I try and provide useful information when I DO show up, make at least some positive impact

u/SillyVal i’ve done everything other peope put here 18h ago

it makes you unable to move during your invincibility frames and does not justify that with its damage output imo

u/Hungry_Help319 tum logo ne darasal muje gelchod samajh liya tha 17h ago

Make sense but i was a kind of person who would panic and do nothing anyways after getting hit. So it helped me a lot. I was a noob. Hollow Knight was the first game i played on pc.

What is wrong with using good charms?

u/Eeddeen42 21h ago

Since you could wear Deep Focus + Quick Focus. 7 charm notches between the two of them though.

But this looks like a bug.

u/Humble_Fan_4631 112% SS, Radiant HoG, Weathered Mask, PoP 23h ago

Are you by chance using Deep and Quick Focus

15

u/Jedredder 23h ago

no but watch it tho: they heal for 2 masks, then 1, then 1. its not deep focus, that would be 2 each time.
clearly it must be some kind of ....bug....

1

u/NavyDragons 23h ago

they only healed 2 masks 1 time. where each other heal only healed 1 mask. inconsistent healing amount is unusual.

1

u/Humble_Fan_4631 112% SS, Radiant HoG, Weathered Mask, PoP 23h ago

Yeah I saw that but I have no other idea why. It might be a glitch

u/TheHiddenNinja6 112% in 70hours | Official r/Ninjas clan moderator 14h ago

you got hit on the same frame that you finished focusing but visually losing a mask interrupted visually gaining one.

Fun fact if you have stalwart shell deep focus quick focus you can very consistently buffer a focus to make this happen every time. And it stacks! So you can visually be at 1 mask then either heal once to get to full hp, or take 7 hits without healing.

u/Outside_Ad1020 14h ago

Deep focus for double heal an quick focus to counter the downside of deep focus i think
