I didn't notice that picture but yeah Fuck you mean wtf are these charms?
you just need to practice 
Uhhhhh
Something here isn’t adding up… I can’t tell what tho
Is so he hits the little things with dream shield so he doesn’t take damage
sheer skill, you just need to try a little harder when dying
Oh they repeated?
Didn’t see that
Ok yeah I went back n read the full chart
I can see why now
what little things....
Wingsmoulds?
Yeah
BRO
THOSE ARE MEAN TO be pogoed off of
You dont want to hit them if your not pogoing
What in the world
Oh yeah that skip
Looks fine to me
Idk
any tips for what splits to use im new to speedrunning but want to attempt it on stream so i want to add some splits but not sure which one to add im going for true ending
to decide on splits you need to decide on what your route will be. hksplitmaker has a premade splits file and links route notes so you can always just use that. the link to the site is pinned
(it has splits for both HK and SS)
ty for the information
question how do i add livesplits into my stream overlay?
i tried doing it but its not working
window capture in OBS. there are OBS tutorials online you can search up
ok thanks again
one last question am i allowed to use skins in speedruns
or qol mod
with the niche exception of https://www.speedrun.com/hkmods
dang so i can't use morbius skin for my speedrun
sorry if I'm stupid but is there any kind of document indicating routing in silksong speedrunning?
hold on, how do you do a shade ship in steel soul? that shouldn't work
I'd be concerned there might be launch arguments you used for modded or something that aren't compatable with 1221?
i do have a 110% save file, that might be part of the problem
that wouldn't be a problem
(loading into the 110% file could be a problem, but having it is not a problem)
i also have eternal ordeal title screen on
At what point in the process is it not launching
i click play, the button turns blue, but the game just doesn't appear on my taskbar
it doesn't even show up
and then the button turns green again
It’s gonna automatically use Grimm troupe title screen iirc
So that would probably not be a problem
i dont have any mods enabled, so i don't see why those would cause anything
Does downpatching a copy of the game (Lep guide) help maybe?
where is that

Ashu us
Why would we?
im new to speedrunning
Im just going for the 20 hour achievement
right now
I am wondering what skips are prioritized
I feel like 20h is easy
I havent done it yet
I took too long exploring
I was gonna do blue lake skip but havent tried it yet
As long as you know where stuff are you are completely fine
Don’t need to do any skips
I did basic greenpath skips
Ah
I was kinda hoping any% would work for 20hours initially
you can do whatever and make 20h
says 100%
yeah
Its been a long break from hollow knight
especially since dlc means you can skip 12%
yeah but I still need all charms??
inclusing masks/vessels? i cant really remember
Else I'd just rush to dreamers and go for first ending
I mean yeah 100% is more than any%
oh
the point is more that if you're looking at a map and not spending hours dying to bosses, any route works
Thanks to HoG bosses are easy
then, if you're looking at a map for where everything is, I'd be more surprised if you fail 20h 100%
and you can absolutely grab regular speedrun 2 in 5h on the way
this is technically my first speedrun. I mean I am at 8 hours in or so and got dreamers unlocked
could be less
Crystal dash was my first priority
Call
Question about silksong speedrunning: what if in the release patch route for silksong, speedrunners before going through wormways went and grabbed the wanderers crest which is really close to the wormways? I don't know if that's a time save or not since there's an enemy arena where the crest is located.
If you want to make route suggestions you may want to join the pinned server as that's where more of the active runners are
Ok.
- huge detour
- crests are hardsaves so you have to walk out
- you might not even be able to get there without cling grip
wait.. why is there only one channel for speedrunning both hk and sk.. shouldn't both be separate?
There's an entire server for speedrunning
In that server, there is a separation
This channel mainly exists to answer quick questions and then to filter towards the actual server
oh ok thanks for clearing stuff out
im new to the hollow knight server but not the games
Un speedrun superando mi PB en el sendero del dolor, no es un speedrun perfecto pero espero les guste
Gracias por ver el video y leer, se les quiere ;)
I have a good time?
Same for memes imo🤷♂️
U shouldn’t have to complete both games just to look at memes without spoilers
Guys
I don't know if this has already been found but I found a way to inventory drop in current patch
Basically, while dashing, you press inventory in the middle of dashing but you can only drop off ledges with it at near the start of the animation
I found this out like 30 minutes ago but didn't bother testing to see if it increased fall speed till now
Hk?
yeah, that's known but good find!
Aw, but thank you
you have to press inv within a couple frames of walking off a ledge
yeah you don’t have to dash
You can speed run this game that can piss me off in a Mater of 5 minutes?
Glitches are powerful
on console version (1.4.3.2) you can open inventory during a grounded dash so that's way easier than getting the tight timing for 1.5.78
You don't need cling grip for it at all, you can get it with no equipment but yeah still definitely not worth
does anyone know how you do that pogo thing on absrad for quick kills
ITS MY BIRTHDAY
Is a 30 minute act 2 start an alright time?
sounds pretty good to me
is silksong any% faster than hk any%
no
hmmm
I've only done path of pain speedrun challenges in hk
haven't played most of act 3 in silksong
is there an equivalent in silksong?
hornet's moveset is very diverse so I hope there's a super hard path of pain typa detour somewhere
yep
is there some hidden trick to perform the acid skip to Isma's, or is it just that I need to be precise with my dash?
ah, I just wasn't low enough
for the first cdash you can buffer two dashes off the platform above
for the second one you can line your cdash up with the rock texture to be able to full jump out of the corner, or you can cancel a lower cdash and transdash out of it
I want to use TAS to learn to beat my record, does anyone know how to use it?
I was doing a bingo, and spent 25 minutes trying to perform the skip as somebody with no speedrunning experience, only to give up and get it the intended way in like 3 minutes
expert time save
You'll probably want to join the tas server

oh cool there's a bingo server

it’s the best
@misty meteor
h
so this is the first route i would recommend you try https://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=1861523602
igh
this can be pushed to sub 2 hours rather comfortably but for sub 1 you need to implement more tech
i would recommend gradually introducing more skips to the run
you can look at what other runners use and copy their movement
then when you feel comfortable move to a harder/faster route
ight
@misty meteor also check out the speedrunning server it has tons of resources. you can also always ping me
tysm
np. i find it fun to help new runners get into speedrunning/improve
is there a place where i can just download a dreamgate file? for runs
dreamgate files are an ancient relic, people use save states now. there are some available in the pinned server. also, you can't have debug mod installed during runs for the leaderboard
ohk ty
It can be done with just one
Watcherknights single (or multi handedly ig) destroyed my whole <5 run
Idk how I fumbled them so badly but I just keep dying
The run was going great
I might still be able to save it but idk
if you have ddark just: pogo ddark walk out repeat
is there an explanation of what each category is and the goal for each category for speedrunnign?
Each category has rules on src that should cover that
at which point should I learn QGA skip?
I'd say around sub 40 is a good time
how do speedrunners skip ||soul master||?
depending on the category they just don't go there at all. You don't need dive for any%
I've been trying to set up autosplits and I can't seem to find the ||hollow knight|| as a split. Does anyone know why this could be?
Or like the ending ||the hollow knight||
credits auto-split so you don't need to add a split for that. Also you can get them pre-made from hksplitmaker.com
Yall can someone help me with my first hollow knight speedrun? I play on console and idk the good routes or smth
What is your goal?
im pretty sure this is where this would go lol https://youtu.be/QxcuBOjlik8

Defeating the hollow knight as fast as possible ig
I meant time wise
Do you just want the achievement? If so i'd recommend this guide: https://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=1861523602
If you wanna get more into sub hour territory then I'd recommend joining the speedrunning discord

I’m not going for the achievement since I’m on ps5 and I already have every hk achievement but 4 hours would be cool
For any hour barrier slower than sub hour I would recommend the guide eishog linked.
Hacks??
No they just have a really good gaming chair
A bit slow cuz I didn't play in like a month but uh
why did they patch out room juggling in the mist 😔
wasn't the world record already on bells route?
I think it's quite unfortunate that room juggling got patched out, would've loved to see the Mist route get a chance 😔
Any% NMG world record is literally mist route
they made it so that leaving the room the way you came and reentering doesn't lose progress, instead of leaving the room the way you came changing which door is correct
probably better for casuals
Even if I had wanted to, I couldn't have XD
anyone know a tutorial for the elder baulder greenpath skip
U mean Vs skip?
srry im new whats a vs skip
If you are new I don't want to learn that skip...
U*
Vs is vengfull spirit
nah it skips vs
THE Vs skip where you skip Vs is referred to as ibaldur tho
yea the skip where it skips vs and you kill the baulder with the shade thats what im tryna learn
Trust me don't. It's only worth when going for wr
Or close to
Choose a different route for your own sake
so i should just go for vs
Yes
alr ty
1.2.2.1 i think it is
What is you current time?
You might want to try this route
HK-Rules/route-notes/Any% (1.2.2.1 Shade Soul).md at main · hk-speedrunning/HK-Rules · GitHub https://share.google/8AAb53bqTz4c2kUW5
like irl time?
Sure that works
12:02
no major glitches any%
So 12hrs?
yeah
Ok try this route then :
wr vs route is 31:19
wr is 30:49
this is for 1.2.2.1
so eyah as joe said i wouldnt start out with this route as its far more difficult
(ur on 1 hp for most of the run)
Guys im finally getting somewhere with silksong any percent!!! I js got to 1:25:54 and that was my first sub 1:30 minute rub
Run*
Gl
is this a HK only speedrunnin channel or does it cover SK too
It’s for both
There aren't separate channels because most speedrunning chat is in the pinned server
I get stuck in deepnest
You can get ismas for a lenient deepnest
Gtg eat will be back soon
... there's no acid in deepnest. What's ismas for?
To go from queen's gardens
Ping isn't needed thanks. And if someone struggles with qga they can just enter deepest from fungal. Much faster than going to get ismas
He doesn't struggle with qga but with deepnest. His goal is sub hour
Then again: how does ismas help with deepnest?
Not needing to go through so much of it
Entering from fungal only takes 40 seconds more than qga and passes less enemies lol
The not that much time sure but it passes more enemies iirc
Also more convoluted pathing
It's really not & you also skip all the qg petras including the arena
I turned ping off tho
No you didn't
Mb then
Ofc it's not the godly solution to deepnest it was just an idea
That's chopped
annoying as shit too
Gathering notes for the speedrun achievement and two questions
Does the timer account for time spent in the pause menu?
And does anyone have the architect melody pillar pattern as like a grid of numbers for me
As in how many times you have to hit them to rotate it correctly
just run ismas route tehe
also
fate
Getting close 👀
incredible split names
Thank you!
yeah idm that much rn while my pb isnt that good as long as im finneshing runs
will changing split names ruin auto split?
No, split names are separate from autosplits. As long as you don't add or remove a split
is there a 112 preset that has everything?
like all the charms youre supposed to get
cus the one i have skip some
Yes, on hksplitmaker
only one I found there is the one Im using rn
and it skips a ton of shit
I have a split for fucking dung defender idol but no split for womb or roads stag
There may be several routes on split maker, also may be some revised routes in the speedrun server. But most runners don't split in every single individual item in 112
ill prolly be fine as long as it has all grubs
cus otherwise ill have to remember when to get some grubs
well I always die on flukemarm any ways
I am so bad at the game bro
I had a sub 4 pace
then I threw it to sub 8
Help with High Halls gauntlet with only claw mirror
Is there one of these for silksong?
No, and there probably won't be for a while given how long that one took to make
Silksong Interactive Map. Free unlimited progress tracking. No login. No ads. Upload save file to mark collected icons.
that is a decent one, I assumed they meant a hi-res one since the screenshot was from hallownest.net
That one is also high res when you zoom in enough
There’s already one for Silksong wow
it's decent, I would not call it high-res. Better than the scripterswar HK one but not as good quality as the hallownest one
Hey everyone! Is this chat both for Hollow Knight speedrunning and Silksong speedrunning or just for Hollow Knight speedrunning?
Both but on the dedicated speedrun server it's seperated
<@&283547423706447872>
Apparently there are no mods 
that shit is crazy
Is there a Leaderboard/world record for Sprintmaster Swift stuff?
Is there a glitch that allows players to reach that Shard?

i think you can silk soar in act 3
You can't silk soar from water
oh idk then
what does 2D mean?
No clue
freedom
Stag directions
It means there's a stag in that split and you should move the stag menu down 2 to get to your stop
only took 6 min
how the hell do I use flukes
like effictively
Idk if ppl have found this skip before, but I found a way to get to shellwood without ever going to deep docks.
You need to go through hunters march to get dash, then buy the simple key from Pebb, go through wormways and get to shellwood.
any% on release patch can skip cloak and does this exact thing
well it still uses deep docks to get dash, but farms for key yeah
does any one have advice for this room? I die in it pret often
It's called Hell Room for a reason 
You might want to join the speedrun server. The strats are different for flukes depending in what patch you're running on
<@&283547423706447872>
kill this guy
LMFAO.
THAT’S INCREDIBLE.
Two for one mod ping, anyone?
How are these specific images not just banned at this point
or is discord too dumb to allow that
different image links each time
mb
basically, yeah
you can automod a specific attachment link but because each one is different it doesn’t work
AGAIN????
SERIOUSLY???
<@&283547423706447872>
I think the modding discord has a bot that just bans anyone posting 5 pics in a row like this
I dunno about banning but spoiler bot is still there in some channels
I wonder if it's configurable to just trigger on multiple image messages
(like, there's legit artist posts with multiple images so I don't think it's an auto-ban thing)
well well well
<@&283547423706447872>
Seems like an extra-heavy bot day 
can’t have a scam free server in this economy
What mods are and are not allowed for speedrunning?
Unless you're running hkmods, none
thx
or if it's an il category where you can use MiniSaveStates / MultiSaveStates (and ScreenShakeModifier is also allowed)
Are skin mods allowed for speedruns?
No
Aw man
(again, unless you're running hkmods)
Hkmods?
why arent skins allowed for speedruns? is it because of the hitboxes or something?
Any mods tend to influence the game in weird ways.
the modding API itself isn't allowed because it changes things
ah ok that makes sense, just curious
I think at some point custom night or the modding api changed the behavior of xero for some reason
This game just has a tendency for things to be changed by things that don’t make sense
gotcha, thank you for explaining
th does 2up 3up mean
stag instructions
you use 2 stags in this split, and the first stag you use you should move 2 stations up and the second you should move 3 stations up
yo
How many %?
why are silksong speedrun paths so weird now
Uhh I’ll check tomorrow lol
You have to sleep?
Yeah I’m in my bed and I don’t want to get up and turn on my pc to check my save file
okey
don't remeber time in what i speedruned the game. but i remember i beat steel soul in 112%<30h
<@&283547423706447872>
At this point I just want to know if anyone actually falls for these
<@&283547423706447872>
👋
its real no?
<@&283547423706447872>
wtf
The ingame timer does that sometimes
it's silly I honestly have no clue how TC messed up a timer like that
👋
Btw my first time speedruning one game, 2 hours and 50 minutes in silksong
Hello, I'm a new member on this discord server. I duscovered Hollow Knight there are only few days. I whant know how this game is difficult !
The speedrun seems incredible ! 
Metroidvanias are made to be hard, but some ppl have no life so they end up beating p5 with their eyes closed and drunk
P5?
To my mind, Hollow Knight and Celeste are two incredible games.
However, i prefer The Legend of Zelda: Ocarina of Time 1998 ^^
Do you played a game better than Hollow Knight ?
pantheon 5, its the final one
👋
<@&283547423706447872>
I think i found something interesting for 100% u can actually kill the second savage beastfly with the boulder above u normally used for fourth chorus if u didn't use it. No idea if this would be faster but possibly oneshotting savage beastfly second fight could be good
<@&283547423706447872>
oh my fucking god man
ikr
Can't imgur be blocked at this point lol
Guess clankers are active these days
wtf it's so bad lately
YOU'VE GOT TO BE FKN KIDDING ME
<@&283547423706447872>
too late lmao
i swear if one more pops up
nvm...
AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA
i'm gonna become the hacker
It's interesting how it's only this channel
Need to ask for advisement. First time playing hollow knight. Saw the 5 endings. Need to do 5 hour speed run for 100% completion which should I go for. Beat the hollow knight with void or without void charm or the true final boss if I can reach the pantheon.
Or at least, not in all of them
It’s not, got pings in others
Honestly maybe ban images here LMAO. Like, this channel is just a funnel to HKSR
One less channel to have to bother with cleaning up
Okay let me rephrase, it's interesting how it's not in hk-help, ss-help, randomizer or modding-discussion
or make a bot that scans for this +2500$ image
That sounds easier than it is
Spoiler bot wouldn't be a bad idea for deleting, until the bots learn how to just spoiler things 
simple use a python lib to scan the content of the png, if it's exactly the same, delete, otherwise, leave
i could make it in like 15min

I'm sure discord likes a bot scanning every message in every channel, or you only do like this channel, but then you are risking it miracaly skipping this channel
The spoiler bot already gets rate limitted from time to time
technically if you only check messages with file attachements there's not a big limitation
just beat the sun for the 28th time today
How do I do qga 
wtf is qga 😭
I'm doing a randomiser rn and I need to do some skips how do I do the shade skip for salubra? I'm not sure where to die. thought to ask the speedrunners that always do skips
Queens garden thing
queens gardens smth
in the room you need istmas tear to go through to get to queens gardens
there’s a tiny ledge you can cdash on
which lets you get monomon without istmas tear
my save file glitched
no, i think my save file glitched
Yikes that was close. 😅
Hi, I’m new here and just wanted to share that I finally completed P5AB today.
It was insanely hard but I’m really proud of it.
When speedrunning Silksong 100%, do you guys always go for the tool where the enemy won't be able to instakill you found in Hunter's March?
insane
i had a headache trying to read this do you mean "fractured mask"
lmao
Yeah that one. I never used it in my playthrough so I didn't know what it's called
Congrats you maniac
are you aware of a secret area and item you can get
I’ve almost done that. I did P5 with all the bindings, but not at the same time.
But still that is an amazing feat.
👋
Thanks. Unfortunately, I didn't record the whole run, but I plan to do another one and upload it to YouTube.
The stormlands area. I went there recently and it gives you an item, though I don't remember the name right now.
But if I'm not mistaken, you can still access it if you create the pantheon with each link separately.
Thanks. I recommend using the Stinger Arts; it helps a lot with the nail bond.
Can someone give me full true ending route. Spear and early evo?
Okay, ty
is this not a late evo route? OP mentioned early evo but this looks like a late evo route
oh this is a late evo route true well I don't know if there's a written up early evo
yea im not sure either but just wanted to mention that its late evo
an earlier pin in the te channel is an early evo + threadstorm route
What is BS1 and BS2 in blaster step fragment?
Tricky jumps to avoid going around
Aren't required, just save a bit of time
Going to the speedrun server will get you rmore info
Okay, ty
👋
Ok guys today I did p5 boss order and omg it was fun
What other speedrun category/challenges would be fun to do
Hell, even bingo cards
Ass%?
Is that just slapping Bardoon's butt?
No, it is all stag stations
Oh-
Ass - all stag stations
But there is dark deepest so I’m not sure it is fun
I forgot, who is bardoon btw?
Big guy in kingdoms edge
You can slap his ass
Ok
NKG% is cool - you fight NKG with just dash, claw, cdash, and shade soul
Any charm build recommendations for the speed run stuff
Any%? If yes then shaman stone is all you need.
Got it. What about 100% or 112%
Or Fury + dashmaster if you hate finishing runs
Do you recommend spell build. Increase spell damage stuff
Flukenest.
I would look at a run that matches your time goal on speedrun.com
Ok. I'll try find the shaman stone
It costs 220 geo at salubras
Got it thanks

I feel you m8
imma go get smth to eat
Just started speedruning in sk for the achivement, I just got the reaper chrest at 1:03 is that a good time to do it? I want to go mist route
For the achievement, probably
The biggest timeloss is just dying, if you're following a route
and it's hard to know how much you'd die
(Also you don't need reaper crest for mist route if you're willing to grab cloak, but it's funny if you don't true)
Just need it to pogo on the ghosts
I'm 1:03 hour in and the nett boss is moorwing, any tips to beat him fast
Truly incredible
"Dream more"
Bro,i need a version with bugs of hollow knight
I've yet to find a version without bugs
you have yet to find a version without quickmap
welp 1st finneshed run since pc reset( forgot to backup livesplit) at least its smth to compare against 🙁
not impressed at all should have reset at claw
but its a finneshed run
still horrible
cant get good ismas to save my life 🙁
or qg
HOOG RIDAAAAAAH
I can show you my route
👋
👋
👋
👋
any tips on watcher knights? been stuck there for awhile
like for speedruning, then learn to be super aggressive
like follow fireborn tehcnuqie
alr
2 nail swings then pogo dahs
ye im stuck on watcher too
yeah that is hardest part of run to master
did u do the chandelier
i did
pratice without chandelir if you can
unless you have mods
to make then reappear
gotcha
ok
interesting
like for people just getting into speedrunning
So for this is my best record for steel soul. What if I want to go for true ending, what do I do from here? I tried watching some runs but I can't replicate any of the skips so I figure I would just go the usual route?
what do you have so far
soul master aint a femboy tho..
do you guys know how to use insta-wings
like without the delay when you double jump
Desolate dive and vengeful spirit. 4 charm notches and some other charms that I don't think will make much difference (Except Shaman stone)
You need to press jump twice within like 3 frames. That's all there is to it rlly. I have jump on my mouse so it's easier for me.
Ppl who have jump on space-bar use both thumbs to press it twice
Oh
tyy
Yeah. Don't upgrade your nail and get shriek is what I can recommend
Np
Also can you recommend me the best keybinds for keyboard
yeah emenies are weaker
since i’m on a controller and can’t bother to create my own keybinds
Basic rule is have your left hand for moving only and your right hand do the spells and stuff
Or the other way around. But that's freaky
The only thing your movement hand can cover too is healing cuz you can't move during it and it's not directional.
Ah okay
Thank you sm
Question to the 100% speedrunners, when getting Clawline, which route do you guys take, Whiteward or fight Trobbio? I don't want to look up the speedruns because I'm trying to create my own
I'm also trying to get 3 achievements as well, which is why I'm making my own route instead of looking up for one
100% goes through Whiteward and then fights Trobbio later
Do you also need to get the save file to 90% completion before getting the Wish that lets you use the Needolin on GMS?
Nope, just the 17 wish points plus required wishes plus fleatopia, plus Trails end
And house key
<@&283547423706447872>
Your speedrun sucks
Even if it's a ban speedrun it's pretty bad
<@&283547423706447872>
they're speedrunning 4 musk shards
Okay, that one got a small laugh out of me, gg
myla kill speedrun
I did it, Any tips for completing the gfame in steel soul mode now
how is he not
So uh
Does anyone have any tips for me ? I still haven't done any pantheons but I intended to do it after beating the radiance (might take a while)
ima tell you this in another language cuz why not: لا
you are in the speedrunning channel
Ye I know
Everyone here is practically a master when it comes to beating the pantheon
That's why I'm asking for advice here
Descending Dark is practically overpowered casually, just use it to get out of tight situations
It doesn't have iframes, it has iseconds
I usually misstime it and I end up getting hit before entering the animation
So when exactly do you use it?
It's a learning process
Oh, also, I think stuff like Mark of Pride is good casually, and fragile heart
I'm still missing two charm notches
Or one
I'm not sure
My autocorrect really wanted me to write Mark of Priidik
@idle cypress
I'm using shaman stone, quickslash and unbreakable strength
So that makes it what now 9 notches?
Yeah, I'd get all the notches before even considering pantheons
How many can I get in total
11 is the normal max
Oh shi so I'm missing two?
There's four at Salubra, you start with 3, one in colo, one in Fog Canyon and one in Shrumal Wastes... I'm blanking on the last one
Does Grimm give you one?
Not sure I haven't done his quest yet
That's a good point actually thanks for pointing that out
And I don't think I got the one in shurmal waste either

Need some advice on the speedrun. Do you recommend to buy the lantern to get the dive upgrade or just run in the dark
what speedrun are you doinh
Under 5 hours
46 mins. Rough start because of monsters stuff
At the crystal place to get the heart. Plan was to get the dive upgrade next.
oh usually what I do is
I go get dive first then go crustal which lets me get decsending dark
well I guess I used to...
What change
You don't really need dive at all for 5h achievement
You get Dash, Claw, Lantern, CDash and dreamers. Wings, Isma and spells in general are optional.
What path do you guys take when getting to The Slab?
Or do you open the door from the Citadel?
For speedrunning, getting captured is pretty much never worth so we always open the door from the citadel
I use the regular route, just shamon stone, dash, claw, cdash, and vengful spirt
cause I got slightly better at the game
Can someone recommend a speedrunning category that's not too hard, not too long, and quite fun please ?
what do you mean by difficulty?
like do you plan to compete or do it just for fun
cause then I prefer any nmg
I plan to compete, but by difficulty I mean nothing too hard.
what do you think of any% nmg
it takes about 40-50 mins
I like it, but there's the acid skip; I plan to do it someday, but I'd really like a fun and short speedrun as a secondary activity.
then idk mabye soul master speedrun or NKG
I know NKG% is a catogory, not sure about soul master lol
ok thanks
np, sorry I couldn't help too much cause the only one have done is p1 and any%nmg
most of the short speedruns are very hard and practice intensive
any% and all skills are the best beginner categories imo, bc they’re on the shorter side and don’t have super big difficulty spikes (ibaldur exempt)
Watch WP+PoP speedrun attempt 1 by unknownlifeblood1234 and millions of other Hollow Knight videos on Medal. #hollowknight
I did a check on my pathing and found that the door (the one in the yellow circle) that is usually locked from one side is already opened when I got there when I know I didn't open it before hand.
Does the door automatically open when I enter from Sinner's Road?
@dragneelarg how's the video going? I'm curious to watch it 😄
NKG is a good category
Although too niche
And it's not too hard with the exception of wingless Hive and a low geared NKG
You can do Any% without using that one skip and lose like 20 seconds by going though Spore Shroom. It's not too relevant unless you're going for top times
especially on lp
If you still need it: https://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=1861523602
i forgot the exact name bnut it was myla% or smth\
yeah, usually use that path QGA skip is really hard with a controller
These doors are opened by specific triggers in the code. There's one in greymoor that opens when you get the quest to find the courier bug in sinners road for example
So likely it's doing something specific. Beating cogwork dancer's maybe, or accepting some quest in songclave
i think that one is accepting the jubilana wish
the rationale is that jubilana goes through and opens that door from her wandering around
what does it have to do with controller?
ayyyyyyyyyy we have a bot to fix it nowwww
its just harder to consistantly do it in my exprience
or it might just be that my controller is bad
Welp ig the speedrun is over now
Had to alt f4
Classic
Ah yeah this is a sub-pixels thing, you can avoid it by only jumping once in that room and having the jump be higher than min height
normal low% is 11%, true ending is 23%, and godhome ending is in the low forties but idk exactly
I can confirm that I've gotten to Black Egg Temple with 1% completion, so anything else is wrong
Spirit, Claws, DreamN, Uumuu, the lurien knights and 3 Dreamers
The power of friendship gathered along the way🗿🍷
the power of 1211
XD?
Can someone explain to me how to successfully skip the acid in the any% please ?
yes
you just kinda hold left and start holding cdash after the wallcling animation/sound
you can’t do it if you have isma’s
it’s so hard
just walk off the ledge, you get a 4 frames window to press cdash, make sure to don't press it too early bc cdash cant be buffered, and don't press jump too early after hitting the wall on the other side
thanks
Either that or your controller layout isn't it. But otherwise there is no reason for it to be harder on controller.
It is just hard in general too
If you do the setup correct the timing should come naturally
Soes anyone have speedrun tips for watcher knights?
If you're happy with it, it's good. If you want to know if it's competitive check the leaderboards
alright, just wondering bc its a new pb
oop
sorry
turns out i am 623rd. i accept it
I need to know this too

Yo just finished my first speedrun of hk with 3hrs 18min any tips to improve?
look up the route and follow it
Maybe try any% then?
👋
👍
PB in Steel Soul : https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ZIZaUrccTwY
Cette vidéo est pour ceux qui veulent faire du speedrun sur HK, la route est simple, il n'y a pas de skip de fou. J'aurais pu faire mieux. Je ferais peut-être moins d'une heure sans les nombreuses erreurs que j'ai commis.
Maybe this video can help casuals like me to learn how speedrun the game without major skips ( QGA, e-pogo, fireball skips,...
👋
👋
Submitted, i hope everything 's good
Just finished a 1hr11 min speedrun
Any ideas why my hktimer mod isnt working?
Also im currently on pace for something much faster
almost to watchers at 25minutes
You haven't given enough information to say, but keep in mind for most speedruns if you want to submit you can't use that, you need to use livesplit.
If you want to resolve the hktimer problem, make a #1057825333841240104 post.
Not sure if this is the best place to ask this as I'm just trying to get the speedrun 1 achievement rather than actually speedrun but is 4h44m decent for 2/3 dreamers for a 2nd ever playthrough?
yeah
just pratice the bosses that take a while
You probably won’t be able to get speedrun 2, but it’s a very good time for 2nd playthrough
yea, finished it not too long ago with a 5:25:13 which was much closer than I was expecting to get to it, i probably would've been able to do it faster if I didn't fail several times with watchers and thk, get stopped a couple times by devout right outside herrah, didn't fight mantis lords, and a couple other small things
Hey guys! I am working on a video about different movespeeds in silksong - and I want to include pogo neutral cancels. however turns out its actually kinda hard to do when you have never done them until now 😅 and I need to be able to do them near perfectly over a set distance to record a time and work out average speed etc - if anyone would be willing to help me with this please shoot me a DM!
ask my counterpart or pull up one of his vids he's goated (Illusion2 on disco, channel name Illusion, does a lot of witch crest stuff but he's also just awesome)
Is there a reason every any% run I watch the player has Chinese set as their language? Even if they aren’t listed as Chinese?
Faster text scroll
1 or 2 characters in Chinese can mean the same thing as 1 English word, which can be like 7 characters
Huh. That’s pretty cool. Would’ve never thought of that.
Is there a way to respawn bosses w/ mods to practice them?
Gl
will do thanks!
hi can anyone give me tips on killing watchers during speedrun? any references
thanks
thanks 
Practice in the hall of gods idk
nice!
U can sub 2h.
i did ~2h 50m on my second playthrough without rushing the game
noice
ik but im bad
150h to finish the game on my first playthrough. Im the worst. Now I can finish steel soul mode in 1h03. #tryhard
dang
watch some runs, practice and ask questions if necessary. tbh even if u r a casual player u can improve a lot with some practice. GL.
i did few skips lol
one of them is this
first time doing it lol
the sub 5 is real
you can just walk off the ledge onto the middle platform, then walk off it, holding cdash as you cling onto the wall
but yeah nice job hitting it
wait is this p5 ending
ye
and ty
yea
you are in the speedrunner channel
the easiest of the 3 lol
look at that 1 min nkg
ik but lol
youre gonna get spoiled
cus youire
in a
speedrunning channel
😭
didn't even know you could bonk on the ceiling when cdashing
lol
wait is qga not?
that's easy
It’s only a 40 second timeloss if you don’t do qga
qga
you can go through deepnest via spore shroom
yeah that isnt required
wait you dont even have to do dark nest
omd any% is so ez
Ima go grab a wr rq
Yeah, any% skips are pretty free
at least yall dont have to deal with shit like this
good luck with itemless baldur then
Ill reroute to do vs baldur and get wr

God forsaken ismas skips D:
godspeed
inventory dropping is dead
Are we really gonna pretend we won't just downpatch?
Knockback cancel is what dies now. I drops were on a pretty rough spot already.
The one tech I found that people actually liked
Y
Yes
they also killed delayed interaction
no more atrium bench di, shade soul bench di, no more lp claw early control
yall are so good bro
👋
how do i dive dash correctly
any Silksong speedrunners who could help me? (If so, I’m in Silksong 4)
Lp is cooler
I wanna make a recording for silksong speedrun but i have a mod that makes hornet's cloak purple. Is this an issue?
Is there an easy way to turn it on and off?
Launching without bepinex should be relatively reasonable yes; if you added launch arguments to steam to make it launch bepinex, just remove those and it will launch vanilla
Oh thats nice! Thanks
this has to be a bot acc
Probably
Yeah, but we just kinda vibe with it, far better than the crypto scams
💔
