but i love hollow knight as the game it is so doing mg is ruining it for me
Wait til y'all find out about floating flying wee
Every glitched runner loves hollow knight
yeah but i cant find the fun in glitched cuz its too far from the normal game
its like u said
playing a different game
every hk runner loves hollow knight
Yeah
nah every hk runner hates hk
everyone loves hollow knight
terrible game
also true
I mean true
Yea
make game worse D:
imagine how much better this world would be if hollow knight had as much downloads as fortnite
Primal aspids really aren't that bad
yes they are
They're really predictable
Can anyone challange fireborn to do true ending manhunt while 20 primal asphids chasing him and they cant die?

have u seen hit path of pain
hit path of pain?
he did path of pain with 50 primal aspids chasing him
oh
Can anyone challange fireborn to do true ending manhunt while 500 primal asphids chasing him and they cant die?
yes
i dont think that would not end well for fireborn
fr
oh yea
im so stupid
ok would he do any raidience 3.0 with 500 primal asphids chasing him + nightmare spikes?
in his sleep
do u realize that no one has beaten any radiance 3.0 glitchless yet
vanilla markoth
true
especially when they fly
except gorb
yea
the great mind
of gorbs
gorb lore is actually crazy
yea ik
if gorb doesnt appear in silksong (if silksong ever even will appear) im gonna be sad
whats the most chill guy boss in hollow knight
ok
bros basiclly friendly
wait has anyone made grubfather boss?
holy shit thats crazy
he shall no count as boss
yea
u found all grubbies
he ate em
then he ascended
and grew inside of a cocoon
then he came out as a big ass butterfly
or whatever those things become
and u could fight him
would be crazy
yup
and when u beat him quirrel nailmaster and tiso came back to life and they would all start dancing and kill zote
cuz fuck zote
fuck him
i dont even think i have the achievement for saving him
so good
now we just wait
This is not where you ask for that 
i made request in the modding server
that good enough?
You will probably be waiting a long time lol ( I've never seen any boss suggested there just get made unless someone happened to already be working on it)
so steam macos
im getting macbook m4 and thinking of speedrunning so its a good killing two birds w one stone haha
does it count as console on speedrunning.com or what ?
does it “save time” in those tiny moments etc etc
also can i mod it ? and change the version etc
i think lumafly (formerly scarab +) has a mac version
I think there's a newish auto splitter for Mac os
but if you meant bc speedrun rules, no
no mods allowed
at least from what ive heard
And you cannot submit runs with mods but you can downpatch all you want
i meant generally
not just speedrunning
? im so confused
look at the message i replied to
wtf is a mac version
Lumafly is a mod downloader
a version for mac OS
?tag lumafly
Lumafly
Lumafly (formerly known as Scarab+) is a mod installer for 1.5 based on Scarab, but updated based on community feedback to fix problems that commonly occur in Scarab, as well as adding additional features.
It has a version for Mac os
a version for mac OS
so it can be modded on mac, not just windows
basically access to mods
basicly
okok also can i change the versions of hk on macos
do yk ?
What
You can yeah
I'm so lost
thanks
You can change version from steam
Assuming you're on steam yes
what did u mean by pinned servee ?
Wait what
theres just two posts
😭😭
so does it count as normal speedrunning them ?
I was talking about that he said that command was gone
it is steam after all
If you're on steam it's not console
yes but its mac surely if i get like wr it wont count
It woul count
No I'm lying to your face
? which one
Sarcasm
getting wr on mac would count
now we have a load remover that works for mac as well so the playing field is more even
I imagine the performance still would be worse though
Wait was it only Mac auto splitter but no load remover?
It was neither
does anybody know if this video is outdated?
just finished hollow knight today (true ending, 25 hours), and i wanna start speedrunnin
idk why the preview isnt working
It's a little outdated, join the speedrunning server to find more recent guides
Link in the pins ^
aight thanks, just joined
Average discord moment
Help me

With what
What's the WORST path to speedrun in hk?
get everything in reverse order

thats too painful
you just killed my brain
hornet just nuked a small town
what have you done
play the game normally
Low% NMMS
No one's ever completed a run right
The new low% NMMS route isn't very interesting, you just chain a stag to Lurien
Hand operated nuclear bomb
I heard it entered Umu's room for the first time
i want to start speedrunning soon, what is the most new speedrunner friendly speedrun i can try on hollow knight
any% nmg
All skills
ive heard godhome ending is pretty beginner friendly
depends what % 
Low
sounds fun
❌

112% apb if you want a long run that doesnt require many tricks or diffucult fights early
112% apb is NOT a good thing for a new person to start with ong
Or low% nmms

that one’s just as fun
(i’m like 12 hours in)
yes 
Crazyrot
weren't you like 11 hours in like 24 hours ago?
tbh i don’t remember the exact amount so it’s somewhere around there
(and i can’t check my switch rn)
okay
How were acid skips discovered? Was it literally just someone accidentally clinging on the wall and then going like WAIT A MINUTE
Pretty sure they were discovered by Mag who found approximately 17,000 skips in hk. So he was probably literally trying to acid skip when he found it
ooo, what skips did he find?
I mean mag ismas is named after him but we use cringeball now so it's not actually mag ismas anymore
okay
..oh
I mean its pretty easy to find if you have hitboxes on but....i dont think thats been out when acid skips were found
I mean like
if you're just in a speedrunning mindset and see something that is supposed to be gated with an ability that you might be able to just go over
I'd try it idk about you
That makes some sense yeah
for the fog canyon one I'd imagine it'd be pretty easy to accsedently discover the wallcling
I did try it
Not gated by an abillity but skipping the hard part
I do love skips and finding them,just acid skips without hitboxes,especially at some inconvinient places like bardoon sounds quite impossible to find
Yeah i guess its more of a question which skip has been found first?
Some are much more obscure than others
after one acid skip gets found all the others would follow suit i'd imagine

yes
hi
chat, when i bench back when getting mothwing, i cant move can some1 help
i triggered the dreamer cutscene if that has anything to do with it
do you have debug mod?
no
okay
its on 1.2.2.1 if that matters
also i dont have any installed for this
i tried, didnt work :/
hey mates i am not being able to execute the armadillo skip (the one you should kill with soul blast to pass thru)
anyone has some video or tips?
what elder baldur skip do you mean
do you mean the fireball oneshot?
that's been patched and you'd have to downpatch for it
do you mean performing itemless baldurs?
cause that one is real hard and if you're gonna be seriously attempting that well I can find some tips if you want
Hi there, Im a celeste speedrunner and as a good one im very interested in speedrunning hk, but a member of celestecord told me there isnt a buffer system in hk like in celeste, is that true ? It seems weird to me
(You can ping me on reply pls)
ggs, and good luck on the sub 50! just some clean movements and clean boss fights is all thats really needed for sub 50
thx
Wdym with buffer system?
In celeste, to be fast a lot of inputs are buffered, wich basically means there are done 5f or less before they are possible, so the game makes the input the first frame where it can be done
then i dont think it is
Hollow Knight and input buffers are weird
Is sometimes feel like we can buffer tho
You can buffer some inputs like focus, dash, jump and nail swing, but not all of the time
Focus is basically an infinite buffer though, the game just checks if you're grounded, holding the button and have enough soul for if it should start the animation
And when can you buffer other inputs ?
The nmg runners in the pinned server probably know that better than me, I just press buttons and break the game
Lmao okay thanks for your help
can u download a preset of livesplit in any way so u dont have to fill in eveything u need to do urself?
the pinned website has some premade splits for quite a few categories
HOLY PEAK
I finally did a speedrun attempt, and got 5 Hours, 34 Minutes!
congratulatory

I'm 13 and just did my first attempt at a any percent and got 8h 32m is that good for a first run
If you're happy with it, it's good
yeah 👍
@vagrant warren sweet what category should I do next
Not colette, but try to improve that time
Getting sub 2 isn't too bad with a bit of practice
4ms
Does socd cleaner work on Steam Deck, or do I need an equivalent
Ping isn't needed thanks. And you can do whatever you're interested in. I don't generally make recommendations to random strangers because I have no idea what your tastes are
oh no colette's sleep schedule
LOL we trashed that yesterday (and again today)
What route did you use?
<@&284848710960021504> coud u plz give me the role
You usually need a good reason to get it
They did say please
@stable quarry once my pb gets verified, i will be in top 400 in any% 1.4.3.2+
That would be sufficient on the speedrun server in the pins
Besides sub 50min seems easier to say than top 400
Noice mine is at 64 now
that's good
dont listen to this person
4ms is like sofhaopijfadkosnfauopsrj
run all skills
i just found a glitch that gives you 237600 geo every 4 minutes
yall might know it
its on every version of the game (that includes failed tramway and some specific enemy)
What is that supposed to mean? 4ms is quite uniqe and one of the most popular meme runs.
4ms is fun
ekko you should bop me in 4ms 
Winner
Speedrun 2
i cant even give the role, its just used for accessing archived channels these days
all speedrunning stuff happens in the speedrunning server now, the role was back when speedrun discussion was here, and we used it to lock the important channels from getting trolled
the only reason this channel still exists is to funnel people to the other server or for people to talk about the in game achievements
i dont even think all of the src mods are here or have the role
We should make this channel read only and just be a bolded link to join the sr server
given the in-game speedrun cheevo doesn't really have much of a place onn hksr I think that would be a bit drastic, yeah
enough people read this anyway that if people are genuinely interested in speedrunning beyond in game cheevos they will get forwarded to the right spot pretty quickly
Yeah it's not actually a real issue tbh
like the only reason im here is to check this channel occasionally anyway, im not in any other channels
Same lmao
Holy shit this is unbelievably based I should do this
The rest of this server does not bring joy
The rest of this server is not all sunshine and rainbows (if you get what that is referencing, you know why)
It goes so hard
Please mark all as read on your servers
Actively pinging you 328 times in TAScord to get you to 1,000 actually
I let them go so I don't feel extreme need to check every single ping
I think I read this one, randomizer and modding discussion only
Every few months I randomly pop into hk help for 10 minutes
If they're pings you're not reading you can just turn them off
No I'm training myself to not feel an extreme urge to always check pings immediately by racking them up
Ah, I just only have pings for things I want to check immediately
hii all, I had one speedrun which was rejected due to title screen not being included. Is it fine if I edit the same video and add title screen to it or do I have to make a fresh run all over again?
Did you cut out the title screen in trimming?
unfortunately the original video too don't have the title screen
I started recording just before performing the run
Then unfortunately it's not valid
If it shows title screen at some point when quitting out that could be ok if you include the timestamp of that in the description of the run. It needs to be long enough for the patch number to be clearly visible though
After credits is OK for some cats too, right?
Yeah that's fine for all categories. If it's not at the start I'll check the end, and then look for a timestamp
ah I see, thanks, althou it seems I need to make a new video all over again as I nowhere in the video I had title screen, I started and closed it while in the game without going to the title screen
Thanks folks, I was able to make a new video and this time with title screen and it fortunately turned out to be faster than the previous one 😭 😭
Run it back ong
damn fury route gonna take it any day now https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=vgjV73o6I1E
Approaching the end of an era -- Watch live at https://www.twitch.tv/lep19
In this run Lep was basically even to comparison out of WK, there's been runs where Lep was -20 out of WK to the same comparison, its happening
The fact that sub 31 isn't out of discussion is just amazing
oh yeah this was the worst pace of the day and he had like 4 or 5
all i could see from a casual standpoint is his splits going all sorts of the different colors lol, he was going up and down the whole time
I just like keeping up with the developments, I don't even run that category
is there any way to make the timer background transparent for yourself? I play on one screen and i dont have obs or anything, but i would like to have my timer on screen while playing
without it blocking gameplay yk haha
Beautiful pfp, sadly I don't think there's a way to do that, you could set the game to windowed and make it smaller so livesplit isn't in the way, but that might make it harder to play due to the game being smaller
I recommend playing in windowed yeah
yeah that was my backup option
and thanks hahaha
we love soos
you can have livesplit itself be transparent but it lowers the transparency of the whole thing not just the background
gravity falls is so good I should watch it again at some point
You should bop me smh I have the rekkie
I wish 4ms nmms wasn't just superslide into Mawlek RNG simulator
What is your pb? Is it beatable with my skissues?
I played on full screen and only kept the timer part of the timer on a top corner, the splits and stuff being tucked away offscreen
Though I’d understand if you like looking at splits while playing
7:58.99 on 1.5
That should be boppable, though I'd likely do 1432 unless 1.5 has some advantage I don't know about.
Inventory hard fall cancels are 1.4 only ? So 1.4 is probably faster ?
1.5 has slaurfall which should make it go even or bw faster ngl
Idk I might do 1.5 for that but I doubt I will get it in a pb
You should try to go for the fps dependent statue pogo imo
I got it like once in practice, and I’m always playing capped at 60 fps
Im not even sure it’s fps dependent only, I think it has something to do with lag
1.5 is faster if you get slaurfall yeah but 1432 is probs better mostly
What is slaurfall btw ? (Except a cute name)
yeah the statue pogo is only realistically doable with lag
getting the weird landing thing when jumping down after KP to avoid the hardfall
there is a setup for it that makes it happen more often but still rng and rare
Is it legal ?
yeah
RIP category
Like 5 seconds or smt ?
yeah the statue pogo is banned
Effectively
if someone would do it the run wouldn't be approved
It's technically not banned if you can prove you had tft where it's possible without lag
The fanta one?
Sounds like spaghetti to me
Idr who made it
Isn't it just simmular to a ss where there is 1 frame to hit it and a 50/50 that it works?
I don't think it is 50/50
Hello , can some1 teach me how to 1 cycle TMG with the 112% setup
(nail 0 + MAX spells)
- spell twister and shaman stone
@idle cypress
Alternatively join the pinned server and ask in the 107-112-percent chat
There is an explanation of it somewhere in the hksrc 112 channel, I can try to find it when I'm home
I'd recommend only learning one cycle if you're going for low 3:0x or sub 3 times, because it saves 8 seconds and gets you killed half the time
does QGA still work in current patch? I was trying to see how difficult is it and I cannot seem to get it. Either it's no longer possible or its a skill issue
it is
don't have ismas for trying it
It's possible on every patch, if you have Isma's tear it's impossible since you get sucked into the water and can't cling
oh, I do have Isma's while trying it
It's impossible with ismas
Just use inf hp
This answers literally nothing
Basically ismas snaps you to acid so you can't actually get as close as you need to be
Inf hp instead* much better for practicing
guys, menderbug just appeared in an any% run i was doing when i was headed to fog canyon but i think he cursed my run or smth because my run after that point went absolutely horribly lmfao
Yeah, menderbug cursing runs is a tale as old as the game
If you kill him it blesses the run
I still think we should roomsob fury route menderbug
ive seen before that u can kill menderbug by pausing while coming down the well and timing a nail slash, is that a thing that works on current patch?
Yes
Im watching lep's new pb rn and i dont think im ever gonna get used to watching people using fury
Its incredible but im always so stressed just watching, i cant imagine how stressful it is for the runner
Lep doesn't get stressed, he's the goat

I've asked this (generally) before but I want to be sure, in a boss that spawns things, would breaking the spawnlings' ai count as a glitch?
specifically, in the collector ascended fight, there is a way to push the armoured squits into the walls, would that be allowed in a run?
Hello, I fought Last kin and bugged him outside of the Arena, where He died early. I dont know how to replicate IT, but AS He was approaching the left Wall i fireballed him, which seemed to have pushed him Out
Maybe i Took damage i cant Remember, but i was pretty Close to the Boss
This is known, it's not allowed in NMG and really hard to replicate
Ty for the Info Mr gusten
Basically, if any enemy manages to fall out of bounds it dies instantly, including bosses
Yeah thats what i figured, are there more Bosses where this IS possivle?
Not really, THK is technically possible if you're in noclip, but that just breaks the fight
After i Finish radiance i might wanna Start Speedrunning, IS there a noobfriendly category? Any% right?
Any% NMG and All Skills NMG are the beginner categories for full game
low%TE is very friendly
There's too many meme categories to list beginner friendly ones, just not Ghostbusters
Im playing on Switch, is 1.12 possible there?
Yeah, I used to have 112 record for the switch board
obs
(talking about this)
Enemies going out of bounds is normally allowed, I don't see why this wouldn't
thanks
:D
woah could you send all of them oob? im pretty sure collector has a max of enemies so
It's probably useful for some challenge runs that do Godhome Collector with low equipment
that is what i was thinking about
that's the idea 
that would be pretty cool for all bindings collector
Doing this for crocohog would be incredible
Basically charmless + radiant + nail-only + old nail + no nail arts 
I don't like radiant 
the rest is fine
you could like close to a wall but not quite on it
or the wall goes away
and you maintain it by not touching a wall, jumping out of it, or touching the ground for more than a frame
Done with 3 hits taken, am too tired for radiant, someone else do it 
People know about dung defender scream skip right?
no
yes this has been known for a very long time, scream skips are basically used on every boss that has a scream
Ok cuz it just happened to me and I found it cool
how does it work?
u take damage as the scream occurs, which allows for early control during a scream
no, u take damage to the boss
by running into them?
heres an example
that makes more sense thx
Sorry if this is a stupid question, but wouldn’t it be better to use the inventory to skip screams?
inventory scream skips are a major glitch
Ah
So it is better in every way possible, you even get to run better rulesets by doing it 
i recommend getting invuln for free scream skips 
Lp runner
On 1.1 and 1.2 dgate invuln doesn't auto skip screams
fascinating
TC made you immune to screams during the dgate animation since people were getting dgate invuln by accident
does it on 1.3?
this makes sense why it gives you scream skips if you get it from before dgating but not when you get it from after dgating
It's only really relevant for old max% glitched and All Bosses glitched
So pretty much just me

is it just me or do you get terrified whenever Lep spams his keyboard?
I'm terrified of Lep, how can one human be so based?
is Lep even human?
Ohww
Thnx
I give up 😭
Wait but they didn't fix normal dgate invuln?
Of course they did, they fixed every way to get inventory storage 
there are submission rules on src might wanna read through them if this has happened twice
Speaking of dgate invuln I will try and get 1114 running after I get sub hour as
Will you beat my epic 1;25;15 hundo AG run?
Thanks discord
:25:
Thanks 😭🙏 I'm so dumb fr, I checked these rules about an year ago then took break from video games, now it's pretty clear I don't remember all the rules at all, I'll have a look again
Messed around with some 1028 glitches and I want to check out dgate noclip again
I will do dgate noclip and try to do a couple things then give up most likely
However I will for sure do dupe colos cause yippee
Kill dupes work on enemy entries right
Yeah, but kill dupes don't work on every enemy
It's why I never try to kill dupe infected gruzers
Do they just hand operated nuke your game
Unfortunate, but the one section that matters of the title screen is the top left corner, as it shows if mods are enabled or not
Also shows ui
Don't give up, if using OBS you can make the HK screen sligthly smaller and have LiveSplit not cover anything up
We don't like rejecting runs, but top left corner and patch number are essential
Nebula gets a guilty pleasure out of rejecting runs he doesn't really need to
Nebula just wants to reject Scotty's run when he takes 112 rekky
So I have a question regarding load removed time, if I just had a recording of the run but I don’t have livesplit or load remover and I wanted to submit this run to src , how would the run be compared to runs with load remover? Will the rta time be used instead?
it would just have rta yeah
RTA will be used, timed from the same start and end points of LRT
src is weird so we also put the rta time in the lrt column cause otherwise it won't place it properly
src also didn't let us have a 0 second run on the board
Also another question, is the time shown in-game after the credits equivalent to rta or is the timing different
no it removes things like main menu and pauses
Can we have a cat on the quacksheet that uses the timer down after credits
also it's often very inaccurate especially on older patches
It doesn't time main menu and it's generally not entirely accurate
We trust the in game timer about as much as if you told us "Idk, it felt like it took about 40 minutes"
pretty sure there's at least a 2 second time somewhere
I thought I've seen Gusten send a 0
On 1006 it's so broken so you can get it to show negative time
Man okay I think I’ll just stick to being a super casual speedrunner and not submit to leaderboards, don’t really wanna download livesplit or anything like that lmao
livesplit is super easy
Downloading and setting up livesplit is like a sub 5 minute effort
Idk, I feel like it’ll just cover too much of my screen regardless
You can have it on the background and just set to capture in obs
Or just be small / semitransparent
Like the effort is insignificant compared to learning and doing a speedrun lol
Yeah I set it to semi transparent at first, and then at some point started playing HK in window mode so it can just be not covering at all
It's a bit of a time investment to set up the first time, but it takes less than a run and you only need to do it once
Check out readymade splits they HK speedrun community has prepared
I use it for almost all runs
ah just one doubt, is Speedrun videos on pirated game version aren't allowed?
As long as it's technically a full release version it's allowed
But pirating the game will get you very side-eyed around this server
And if you use a nail art on 1.5.68 your run will get rejected
oh huh. I didn't know it was even technically allowed
It's mostly like "We can't tell if it's pirated or if the runner just decided to run on 1.5.68 for some reason"
If someone submits a run on the mobile pirated "port" it's an instant reject
And if I knew someone pirated the game I'd argue with the src mods that we shouldn't allow it
so as per my last run that was rejected, they said the assembly wasn't visible due to timer but in reality there's nothing much on my top screen that timer covers it:
Yeah, that's what we'd want to see, nothing, but when the timer is there we can't tell if there's nothing there
ahh I see, is it fine if in the video itself I move the timer or squeeze it after it's finished at the end? so that it's clear nothing is there
We'd prefer if you moved it to the bottom of the screen instead
awesome thankss
I like horizontal timer as it doesn't mess with eyes
I would shift it to bottom then
hi, does anyone know why 1.2.2.1 version unbinds mouse controls every time I return to main menu and how to fix it? I would love to try and run some any% without relearning everything...
join the speedrunning server link in the pins ^
yihou allskill 49:11
i'll link you a fix there
yep! it's awesome - the speedrun server has a channel where we go "really good runs are happening go watch live" and the run got linked there a couple minutes before it finished
once linked the run has a 50% chance to get fucked
tysm
how do I open save states?
Debug mod allows for save states, and also has many other features too
yeah but I got a package of save states in a file that I don't know how to open
You don't open them directly. You place them where debug can use them. I think Lep's guide covers where to place them
how do I search this
I'm not sure exactly what you're trying to do but for searching use the search bar
uhhh theres not really an optimal way idk, depends on the person, but like play a run and try to focus on your weaker areas idk other people sare smarters osryr risard
Btw you can turn on “show hidden folders” and then you can just access appdata from the file explorer 
Whats the current patch any% wr
u can literally look that up urself on speedrun.com ...

is this a case of geo clipping into the ceiling like how it can happen in gruz mother, i only got like 340 geo which is way lower than usual
and how can this one be mitigated? is there a way to recover the rest of the geo
Iirc you kill the enemies on the way to Kings from lemm
will that really cover 80 geo? do u have to kill one of the great husk sentries? or just the basic enemies are enoough?
Basic enemies are probably enough
There are quite alot in fountain room and the room after
I'm not 100 percent sure tho I'm not an any percent runner
Also after looking at your kill I'm pretty sure your meant to open with a fireball, like when you go through the tunnel
didnt have the soul :(
i use fireball on the enemies in front
maybe thats not good?
You are meanr to use one iirc
I'm not sure you went all the way right to get the geo right in the corner
oh could be, idk how deep in that corner goes tbh
ill definitely keep that in mind next time
does anyone know what controller/keyboard Lep uses? I remember someone talking about it. It's like a hall effect thingy
P sure it's a hitbox
I also think he built it
It's basically like a fighting game controller, just a bunch of circular buttons spread out ergonomically on a box
Can confirm iirc
I also agree with This

https://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=PLH-aXtMsmPYq8ZvwV9G7s3uIz_6AlIygz was meant to be linked for the 1.2.2.1 guide
see above
I appreciate you
👍
I looked for a solid hour but none of these came up
note that there's no mod installer for 1.2.2.1 so that might be why your searches were coming up empty
gotcha. So this will still allow me to access debug menu and such right? Practice explosion bounce to get to mantis and skip for Hornet in Greenpath and such?
yes
You're the goat
Lep's the goat for making the guide
Lep and you
True Slaurent is the goat for making hksplitmaker and running 4ms
@thorn jasper https://youtu.be/qMqbwQPBL88?si=Fsllruh5OELpoKBa&t=27m27s xavier strat?
oh for the gruzzer cleanup? Ill have to dig that up later
i think its 2 full jumps from the moment the last shake begins and then slash on the way down of the 2nd jump
so you hit as many gruzzers as possible, starting from the top and making your nail hitbox go down and hit the lower ones
Can someone tell me what I did here https://youtu.be/HGb7rajYyW4?si=j0wa620ieBl5jopQ
Looks like wallcling storage and u wall jumped off the stored wall
I assumed but I haven't seen wall cling done like that or with monarch wings
Yeah, that's just getting wcs from the top of a corner, nothing unusual
Positioning is a bit precise so, congrats?
Hi fellas, i’ve got a question about path of pain speedrunning (on xbox specifically), i’m aware that the lever and breakable floor is an automatic +2s penalty.
However i’m a bit confused as to the ending, for the time count i need to watch the short cutscene, however if i i do that i would be permanently locked out of PoP? What i’m trying to say is there an option end the run by just standing in front of the pale king instead of activating the cutscene?
Sorry if i’m a bit unclear lol
Yeah the cutscene does lock you out
People on PC use a legal mod called mini save states so they can reset easily but that's not an option on box
So is it even possible to speedrun on console? (Well submit runs to be specific)
Got a sub 3min run today (not very competitive lol), but i didn’t watch the cutscene
yo chat i just did any% NMG in 47 MINUTES
Yes but loads are counted
Yeah but official rules say that timer ends when cutscene plays, and i can’t play the cutscene without locking that savefile from PoP, and i can’t use savestates since its console lol
If you sq before the cutscene it doesn't count
I tried it on one of two savefiles i have with pop one, I can’t open the menu to savequit during cutscene, but i can force quit the entire game (alt f4 basically lol) and it doesnt save, would that be an issue for submitting runs?
alt+f4 to cancel the cutscene is so real,,,
I'm learning how to speedrun any% all glitches and I have two questions. One, how do you control float and two, how do you do room duping? I've tried look everywhere I can think of and can't find anything.
Have you looked in the glitched channels of the pinned speedrun server?
guys did u see, lep just got 30:53, thats insane
Lots of people watched live, since it was pinged in the speedrun server
no
First it's not float, it's noclip. Second as colette said: join the speedrunning server. There's a tutorial there pinned in # any-percent-glitched
GG lep
does anyone know if downpatching will change my current files if I want to start speedrunning?
like if my save files will be gone
saves are shared between patches. You can back them up if there's something you want to make sure is safe (as accidentally opening a current patch file while downpatched can cause problems)
ok ty
you no see, why?
If you want to find the saves they should be here C:\Users(yourname)\AppData\LocalLow\Team Cherry\Hollow Knight
Arconifer is a tree, and trees generally can't see
oh
Hand operated truth nuke
LEP BROKE WR
DAM
First WR with itemless baldur and first sub 31 in this category! Big milestone for this route, but obviously still lots of room for improvement. Shoutouts Staxis and Javier for all the framedata research, xuwu/虚无 for creating the more lenient itemless baldur setup, and of course cuberomer for getting us to run this in the first place. Excited to...
Itemless Baldur now got to be META in Any % too
Yeah Dashless route is def never gonna be optimal
I played enough randos with late dash to know lmao
No Claw is never gonna happen. No CDash could be a thing if Isma route is proven faster but I think it's not.
No Claw is a no-go but without C-dash ? Actually doable, considering their levels 😂
Yep. It's now mandatory
But damn ! No one thought it'd ever be actually doable, even like, 3-5 months ago
Is there a reason to skip it only on LP?
Slopeball let's you get ismas with less equipment
The boards are separated by patch, so they're not compared to runs with that stuff.
Because 1221 is so poorly optimized and somn people literally can't play it on their pc
how much time does it usually take to get your hk speedrun verified
it really depends on how up the verifiers currently are on the runs
It can vary from a couple days to a couple weeks to, if there's a big backlog, a couple months. Taking a look at it, I think right now it's about a 2 week timeline
My Any% submit took roughly 3 weeks
yes true a really long category sometimes takes longer to verify because it's a much larger commitment to check a multi-hour run than say a 59:24 any% time
Indeed
Of course a 30:53 any% becomes verified somewhat faster
But that would not be the times for most of us
oldest run in the queue seems to have been submitted 12 days ago
which is where I get the current timeline of 2 weeks
gosh what a coincidence that that was the time I used as an example
right LOL
...it was not a coincidence I noticed a run on the queue that was run by somebody named xia and guessed it was you
What the grub are you talking about?
I verify literally every single All Achievements run submitted and the longest one has been in the queue was just over one week
I see 5 people who have submitted multiple runs to src [duuscarlet, ybeleive, osampo, mathulu, gusten] and all 5 of their most recent runs were verified within 2 weeks
Okay, what's your name on src?
There's not even a single runner who has exactly 3 HK All Achievments runs submitted on src
Scarlet has 2
Ybelieve has 2
mathulu has 2
Osampo has 2
I have 7
And unless you're Osampo I'm like 99% certain none of those are you
Isn't it just incredible that you can just go on the Internet and make shit up
Maybe he hasn't submitted all 3?
Maybe that's why it's taken three to four months, he forgot to press submit
Lmao
these three runs were probably done in the past two weeks since they were missing an achievement a bit ago
though that doesn't clock for the 3 month submission time
Maybe it was for another game, but I don't know how that'd be relevant to how long HK runs take to verify
Surely Stardew Valley All Achievements, the very real category that exists
stardew AA would just be perfection + busywork
doesn't sound like an interesting category
You'd have to do both Joja and Community Center
And also Fector's Challenge, which isn't actually too bad
WHAT, no!!!,,, i wont believe it; people LYING on the INTERNET, impossible, unbelievalbe. How could this be.... it couldnt, i cant accept it. LIAR your the LIAR; oh,,,
wait no sorry i didnt mean to ping 😔
Gusten is going to fix you for that
fix me????
Think about the rabbits, Sakura
Ducks would be more appropriate but it stretches the joke a little bit
im SO cofused 😭
So basically in of mice and men, a novella, there's this mentally challenged character named Lennie who was gonna get shot at the end of the book after he accidentally killed someone so his friend George takes him out to a river to kill Lennie himself to minimize his suffering and while Lennie is looking out at the river George "says" (he doesn't say it but it's kind of cobbled in with context) think about the rabbits, Lennie and he shoots Lennie
👍
wow spoilers
i need help setting up for speedrunning. I am currently watching fireborns video about how to set it up (Setup & Installation Beginner's Guide for Hollow Knight Speedruns) i am at the creating a practise install and i cant fins those files that he shows. is it outdated or am i just looking in the wrong place or not understanding him. English isnt my first language so i might not get it. would appreciate any help about how to find those files and fix the problem
also i am not quite sure if im in the right place so please tell me where i should g oif im in the wrong place

thank you!
Mb gang
Witch category is the hardest for the percentage stuff like low percent any percent?
Hell you mean percentage stuff😭
Low% could be the hardest but as well there is 112 which tests you for longer and in more diverce ways
Low% te tests tour will to lice
I'm very willing to lice on tour
Sakura typing goes hard as always
Low% GE?
K thx
Hello !
just wondering if there is a beginner friendly guide for Any% All glitches ?
Yeah join the speedrunning server link in the pins ^
Once there you can check the pins of # any-percent-gliched to find an old guide from fivebrane
It's a little outdated but it covers the basics and it's a great starting point
oh okaay thanks !
Also feel free to ask questions there a lot of knowledgeable people
does anyone know how I can get rid of the MNK thing in version 1.2.2.1 where I cant swing my nail everytime I quitout and load back in?
Do you use mouse button binds?
yes
Mouse is fucked on 1221
I know that much but isnt there like a thing to get rid of it? Maybe im just making things up but I think I heard of something that get rids of it
Turquoise.exe
Go into the pinned server and type ;mouse in the roles and commands channel
okay thanks
hate mesas,
Sas😭
Hey you guys, i am trying to get into speedrunning any%, so i looked up leps video on how to downgrade and make a copy to mod and practice on. However, when i downgrade and make the copy, then re-update the original version, the copy updates as well. I am downgrading to 1221. If anyone could give me any advice id appreciate it a ton
Did you put the steamappid file in the copied version?
One question, I’m currently running a route where I grab a journal above the mantis claw room, and later upgrade my nail once with the extra money. But is this slower than shade soul route?
guys whats the basics of beating the game (for 5h achievement)
Check pins for a guide on the 5 hr achievement
ok thanks
The nail 1 route looses ~ 1 minnute to nail 0 route and shadesoul route looses ~4min
Unsure of the exact numbers but shadesoul route deffinitly looses more time it's a bigger detour and more geo 800 compared to 250.
Shadesoul does however make a bigger impact on bosses.

So basically if you are pretty bad at bosses, like likely to die, the shade soul is probably faster as dying looses alot off time,,, If you are decent with bosses but just can't do them very fast than nail 1 is probably fastest, and if you are confident with bosses then nail 0
I mean I already got sub 1 hour with the nail route so dying isnt really an option for me anymore
Time to try shade soul route
yes i put it in just like what he did in the video thats why im confused
Can’t believe Lep just got a sub 31, I can’t even get below 2 hours
Not with that attitude
Did my first run under 5 hours today (first run ever)
If you can do fallen skip i think everything that follows is much faster
Ayyy my time was 3:24
Radiant collector, nail0 only, time- 5:31.
Insanely good shit
path of pain isn't an option on livesplit?
wait these are full game runs
is this it?
wait no that's fresh save file
where the heck is pop
what even is this list?
you should get splits from https://hksplitmaker.com/
Im widawally tha goat
hi livesplit wont start or split when i press my hotkey unless i click on the tab first and click back into the game every time, is there something obvious that I'm missing?
The autosplitter should start and split without your input
hmm
ahh shit i didnt have global hotkeys enabled my b
we'll see if that's the difference maker
ok well it detects the hotkeys now but you said it should start automatically?
when i click into edit splits it is activated, if that's the question
i can't find it mentioned anywhere under livesplits settings
the timer goes green when i load in, it just doesnt start
have you closed and reopened the game and livesplit
it's fine lol
still not starting
in the settings for autosplit, is there something i should have checked?
Are there actually auto splits in there?
under "start timer at 0:00" it says "Configurable load remover / Auto splitter (by devilsquirrel)"
so i think so
Yes, but you still need to configure the auto splits. To match your splits. Look in the auto split settings.
Livesplit likes to delete them of the auto splitter isn't already on, so often its needed to re-download if you got them from hksplitmaker (if you didn't get them there, you have to set your own)
Why are Lep's splits named like "attached" "unattached" "reattached" "superattached" and so on?
Might have a channel points redeem to name a split? Or just for the memes
Attached is an emote and it's just a joke like many repeated split names
hey, I would like to start speedrunning hk any% nmg do you have any tips on how to start ?
okay thanks !
np !
Ah, I assumed it was like a strat he'd use during the section like wall cling storage but then I though "why would he wcs for fury?" 
Think about it
He's unattached from his shade when he dies
And you spam ATTACHED when he gets past ibaldur
Can someone help me set up livesplit for hollow knight speedruns?
How do you do cling storage
Convince the game you're still at a wall which you're not at and then don't lose it
Gate wcs the wall disappears as you start to cling it, transition wcs you keep the wall cling state in a transition and then spawn not at that wall but with its cling, and corner you just get a funny distance from a corner and you get wcs
hi guys
im trying to do the 5hours speedrun and trying to setup a HXsplit, yall know which one i can use from that list?
Using livesplit may be misleading, since its the in game time the cheevo cares about. The cheevo isn't really a leader board speedrun so i don't know that there's splits for it on hksplitmaker but there is a guide for it pinned
You can get splits from the site in pins for moat categories & just import them into livesplit. If you have any problems join the pinned server and see the troubleshooting checklist pinned in the tech support channel
You can see the leaderbaord here, but times submitted are vanilla (No moded charms): https://www.speedrun.com/hollowknight?h=Pantheon_of_Hallownest-Level-Any_Bindings&x=l_kwj14q7w-wkpq608d-dloyyge8.5lmz030q

gg inf damage,,,,,,,
Choosing to go to hkmain to post when you're in the sr discord seems odd but gg
why does my livesplit not start when the run starts in any% nmg
Make sure your auto splits are properly configured, if you still have trouble join the pinned server and see the livesplit troubleshooting checklist in the tech support channel
whats a good 100% speedrun time
Like literal 100% or 112 or what
Hey, is there somewhere any tutorial on how to perform a new itemless fury of the fallen baldur skip invented by Lep?
Join the speedrunning server, there's a bunch of resources there
Link in the pins
how does the dashslash skip for shade soul work
You need to be on patch 1221 to do lever skips
oh dang
fr abyssal bloom with lifeblood form p5 is op
galien got deleted in like 10 secs
any tips on any% watchers
I was gonna say if you're doing itemless baldur then this isn't useful for the fury fight, but honestly it still is
I though it was found by Echo I might be wrong though.
Go to speedrun.com
If you look at the runs on both boards you can see
- how fast they are and
- the date they were run on
Oh I missremembered the name no wonder I didn't find their messages😅
Latest patch is 1.4.3.2+
Latest patch is anything 1221+
Just you wait
(And I know you're probably joking but let's not confuse the new runners)
There's only like 3 people here to get the joke & 87 to confuse
The pain of hkmain
You can't even submit 1.4 to 1432+
That being 1424
I mean the purpose is obvious
Don't we have leg eater discount glitch in that patch too or something?
I wonder why there are only 1432 and 1.5 on the 1432+ cat's could it be because 1432 is the only legal 1.4 patch
I am still amazed I forgot 1424 was pre 1432. But now I have an excuse to go for 7:4x
whats any % wr rn
thank
It’s been 4 minutes 30 for a year though
It doesn’t move that much
Staxis lost it for a day, and then took it back
It's kind of a stagnant category routewise, at least until I accidentally tell people how to enter the black egg with no dreamers
Just store the door
Just store the truth nuke
just hand operate the truth nuke
Don't hit him when he parries
Jump over dash
Jump and pogo the second slash of 3 slash
Either go to his other side or go far away on chest spit
Run one direction on flying slam then change directions when he goes back up
Go far away for fountain
I keep clicking on this server now 
lmfao, git gud
SAMEEE
How many people in discussion even know it's the sr pic
Probably like two
hi i am new in speedrunning hollow knight, i am just wondering how long it usually take for a run to be verified? I uploaded my run yesterday and got this comment from hornet did I need to do smth to get my run verified?
Hornet is a bot
Just wait
There’s a long queue for some things, especially for any%
Basically you don't add milliseconds for long runs
Cause they look bad and are unnecessary
Submit AG and Gusten will verify it in 4 seconds
a decent estimate would be 2 weeks, but don't be surprised if it takes longer
It helps he doesn't sleep
True
Gusten will become src mod this year and never play the game again
So many patches will be lost to time
No we can get Krythom to cover 1007 -> 1028 and bribe someone to play 1.3
Meemee does 1.3
But Gusten afaik is like the most hd runs and like I don't think kry does much not 1028 1.0
My favourite patches are 1028 and eleven fourteen, 1210 is playable
1.3+ is just boring
We all know i can never be src mod
If you did would you legalize televator nmg
I'd ban Nebula
Good enough
PB!!!
If you save a minute per split wr is free (gg)
i choked at THK tho 😭
HK speedrun and racing community
All the boomers should come out today to show off enjoy the one day of blue names
I asked Zal for it as a joke and we got it
Iflg
Is this just to even further sell that this is the speedrunning server?
Time to get #sr-offtopic back
@arctic orbit get your blue name in here
I like speedrunning
Woah
yay blue
pog
This is not gonna end well 
Of course it will
i love speedrunning
