depends on my luck doesn't it
i ned elp
also you will prolly die at the end multiple times due to nerves
I only need to be able to do first phase two hit
i have gotten to sword rain no hit before though
so thats actually pretty goodd
I refuse to change my build
i do not have a one notch on
show your build
and im not unequipping mark of pride
Legacy quick slash users go straight to hell or so I've been told
MoP makess the fight easier
it just is barely a difference
talm mop im bouta get it
is any radiance a mod
Its a charm build that i will not be changing
swimming my way to MoP
Steady is insanely important for anyrad:
Facedance
And facedance is op
And Baldur is important
No let me rephrase that
upslash
Not using Baldur is stupid
Nowhere near as good
oh god
But fine
wow that build is
eh its gotten me to climb before
Only over half the anyrad builds use sb
they acc have a decent amount of health
But Baldur are tou fucking stupid
only 99.9999999% use baldur
A Build
Even if you don't learn flickers Baldur is still vital
that is so fucking embarassing
Yeah there's like
1 clear without it
Probably a self imposed challenge
a lot of things top mantis lords
Nah no way
oblobies
They're so much fun
yoo mop
I only have nkg above them
Potential lords
WAIT I FORGOT TO BENCH AND I QUIT OUT
wait thast low key tech
ill go greenpath
and finish the stuff there
Im like decent at routing
Like AnyRad
I’m going to strangle you one day
I didnt play for a year
Nd I challenged myself to 112 within 5 hrs
with out guides
in steel soul
and im acc on pace
ik a sub 5 is not ideal
but its steel soul
godhome challenges considered .ordered. mantis lords r there yup
bruh I saw an anime girl and a spoier
that gotta be
bait
Uumuu is so buns
Buy me one
ok ls finish greenpath
then into canyon
and get that shit
and then hornet 2
wait I am 100 from dgate
that list is entirely deadass
ty game
Press dash to dash
slug
the mechanic is unique, its easy to dodge, fast to kill if you know what youre doing, bouncy, free heal
“Hey look, ramps! We can use these as ramps!” - Tails
So you dont even like uumuu fr
uumuu genuinely SUCKS
I agree with everything except for what i haven't fought yet
uumuu is a free kill
Hey tails, you see these vents? We can use them travel but be careful we'll look pretty sus
better then markoth though
Im lowk moving like a tuffrunner
I would rather DIE. then fight radiant markoth
but at least they made it more engaging than overworld. that’s not hard at all but
Its boucny
I kinda enjoy slapping jellyfish at it that's my positive
You may be able to die while fighting rad Markoth if you wish
regular markoth is fun because shriek spam
Rad markoth is not fun no matter what you do
ok wait I gotta remmber all flame locations shit
low key insane im at clean up with in 2 hrs
rad markoth is equivalent to the entirety of bilewater
bilewater is horrible
Im at sinner's road and what you say scares me
No silksong talk until IM done with it
they used to call me the bilewater bandit back in sinners road
Okay enough about silksong now
Until i buy it*
Pet the mossy
uuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuh guys would you rather fight all the nailmasters ascended at once or deepnest steel soul no lumafly coiled nail and you cant leave until you beat nosk and kill herrah
damn why didn’t the knight do this the whole game
huh theres only 1 hunter grub
All nailmasters
I remember when I accidentally went fog canyon on my first playthrough and since I found the game by wathcign a speedrun break down I thought I accidentlaly entered a late game area nad got scared
gotta be the second one
Did i stutter
STEEL SOUL
DID I STUTTER
Twinsies
this looks like the no-eyes room
are you in there for the essence or the shard
yay lantern
GAWDDAYUMN WHAT NEXT YOU ENJOY p5 MARKOTH
but its scary without lumafly
How did you know!
OMG MY MUSIC HAS BEEN OFF FOR SO LONG
ow
All nailmasters at once sounds so funny i'll probably choose it
Pls someone make this an actual mod if it already isn't
we back chat
All nailmasters sounds like it has a semblance of enjoyment unlike deepnest
Yeah there is a mod for that
most fair boss oat
Is this Greenpath or Queen's Gardens?
Brothers of battle/Pantheon of Regions has all 3 nailmasters at once
imagine phase 2 sly while sheo great slash mato dash slash and oro cyclone slash al at same time
Kill no eyes
gp
ngl no eyes deserved what happened in the lore
More.like no bitches
also guys what is no eyes lore
Alright 👌
Sly can burn in hell
He's the only thing i hate more than zote
Name checks out
we need sly in there as well
guys personally i find gpz fun except that flipping move where he goes in the air but then changes where he gonna slam its so annoying eevrything else is cool
so good for traitor lord
I tried it and it was hell do NOT add sly
Named Fart
what?
Now get 799 more essence
wait is there not suppsoed to be a soul vessel here? I got a fuckass mask shard
boss in queen garden
I know who traitor lord is
Trial of the nail
has really (one of the worst) runback
dreamgate is useful for him
sure ill be having to run back
oh yeah
Lmao
also traitor lord is ez
yeah but ii suck
Im at the 2 20 mark rn
Dw you will get better
think ill finish by 4
without my unbreakable strength i am nothing
The Quit to Menu button is literally a lifesaver

I hated traitor lord until I finally found how to beat him easily, i learned to jump
Ive banne that
this my 4th run today
guys when did you learn to pogo
Is it part of a challenge or something?
2 runs got to the 1 20 mark
for me in fungal waste
forgotten crossroads
yeah I didnt play for a year so now I gotta get a sub 5 steel soul no quit out no serarhcing
In fungal wastes
Path of pain is when i realized how fucking important it actually is
yeah the pink shrooms
mossy
Enjoy
But yeah fungal wastes in terms of learning how to
Im on pace for a sub 4
KILL. the mossy.
boss so hard it took me 26 secs
mossy ded
idk why uuh brooding mawlek with 0 stuff is really fun like base stats
Ddark the mossy.
guys how much% did u have when u fought the hollow knight first time
gg
His whole moveset pmo ngl
thanks
mossy should not count as a boss
69% im not joking
and now I js gotta do canyon then I can buy queens station stag and then get gate
oh hey look its me !11! :3
hopefully I can still do first try flower quest
the zuuutooo move is ez tho free hits then he just walks away
for me 88%
Zote's attacks are literally "Idk what i'm doing and neither do you"
I only like his goofy sword run
I dislike GPZ just because of his stupid attack that makes him fall from really high and I can't tell when to dodge
use ddark
queens station at 2 hrs 20 min
I got it 30 minutes into the game
for the one where he fall through the ground
I have dedark shadesoul
I would rather die a million times to PoP then DDark during that
but thats how i did it
STRENGTH
I got fragile
but Im in steel soul so it doesnt matter
hrimmchild
How does one accomplish that
guys whos ur favorite and least fav npc
lucky number
Yeah after all he is the Invincible Fearless Sensual Mysterious Enchanting Vigorous Diligent Overwhelming Gorgeous Passionate Terrifying Beautiful Powerful Grey Prince Zote for a reason
Elderbug, zote
Is hat a reference to hrimmchild, son of the funhouse king badd from the hit game empty soldier?
Zote, tiso
for me uhh favorite is zote he is just muuuuughmaribaah and least favorite is little fool idk why he pmo so bad
hes so punchable
Cuz hes a bitch
My favourite is the miner in crystal peak and my least favourite is Grimm
I can’t remember the miners name
Mira or mila or something
Doesnt even know Mylas name fake myla fan
Little fool is the future you
Kyla that’s it
I kill myla every playthrough
clean up sucks
im so good
theres so much shit to do I get overwhelemd
honestly never really cared about myla
I love the character Kyla who is in gemstone summit from the hit game empty soldier
just didn't pay enough attention
I haven’t killed myla yet
wait hu did I just kill?
Iselda, bretta
WHY DO YOU HATE BRETTA
Tbh I thought Nila would become some sort of infected alglamation
Not sure why zote gets hate but bretta doesnt
godseeker and zote
Bretta is a bitch
zote is annoying
Hes a joke character
“Your laughter shall turn to terror when you face life wonder!”
i just don't like him
guys guys
i love zote
hu did I Just kill?
proceeds to help him like an omelette with descending dark
Zote is made to be annoying and that's what makes him fun imo
Literally meant to add some humor to HK
any ways spore shroom
hu
hu are you talking about
Nothing quite hits the spot like folding zote like an omletye
you know hu
When i found brooding mawlek i already had mantis claws+Ddark
Probably quirrel
the long necked bug thing that wants to eat you in queens station
omg big bee so adorb
the best charm isn't wayward compass, its spore shroom
Replace the human with Hornet and then its lore accuarate
ya
guys what was ur first mask shard and first vessel fragmen
Trustt
finally time to get wraits
Mask shard I got off of sly
then ima do cliffs and finally hornet 2
from S L Y
nah the best one is def uhh gathring swarm
Counter: glowing woumb
for me first mask shard in queen station
Cool
It Depends On The Scenario And Other Charms Used
heavy blow
TIME TO GET GATE
Unbreakable strength
My dumbass used to think that crystal peak was on top of the howling cliffs
Fragile greed
And you fought the radiance up there
lol
Alr tbf
crazy reward time
The statue is right there so technically it makes a little sense
nah you need awoken dream nail to fight absolute radiance by dreamnailing the statue
HOW TF IS PALE ORE AT 300
what 😭
thts so cheap
That isnt dumb, before i played i used to think the final boss is Pale King
I'd like to swap iselda for dung defender actually
Shoot
to be fair i got spoiled on the hollow knight and i thought you had to fight him in greenpath
He's just the coolest
W
I used to think the final boss was hornet
In fact i had that belief even while playing until i saw a random ass spoiler video unintetionally saying
"Ranking hk bosses! The hollow knigh-"
"WHAT THAT GUY WASNT THE PALE KING?"
"fury" more like FURRY
Bro i used to think pure vessel is the king 😭
lol
I thought the hollow knight was the king before pale king cus of the hunter journal
Wym cuz of the hunter journal
who would yall say is the real evil in hk, pale king or radiance?
Both
Radiance wasnt a very good goddess even tho she didnt deserve to be forgotten
trick question, elder bug is the real evil
check thk journal entry it made me think that thk was the king before pk
sure
he is secretly puppeting everyone
Oh yeah that does make sense
ascend
The more i look at Gorb the stranger he looks
As if someone combined goodseeker, HK, Pale king into a single form
he is js gorb
the all powerful
I have actual respect fo those who can do joni's w out lantern
ya
Ascend Ascend Ascend with Gorb!
I also used to think hollow knight was a different entity entirely and not Pale King's son
grimmothy griffin
Pale king brought the bugs sentience, radiance made them a hive mind
I came back to the original HK after 100% Silksong
cuz i was bored
and wanted to see how easy it would be for me to beat hollow knight again
me too
Are you replaying the game for 112 or something?
alr have a 112 normal and a 112 stel soul
but I wanted a sub 5 steel soul
Dowloading the game and gonna play for the first time
Nice dude
no quit out and no online searching for items
bruh
abbyss shreik ig
alr I got all 3 narts
Ima do colo then buy hella notches
YES
🔥
oh yeah
the real evil is primal aspids
hell nah
got through mantis lords in 40m, the early game feels much slower than you remember it to be when you're trying to go fast
I was at dedark by 40
bouta hit the 3 hr mark rn and I got like 40% left to get
accurate
nice
remember when you called me shit for not speed killing soul warrior
ive soo ncaught up all your progress in one day kid
lol
gimme evidence
u going for 5hr or 10hr?
5 hr
im at like 3 hr mark rn
gottam ake sure to get af ast flower quest and fast pantheons
... what exactly r u aiming for
112
ah
steel soul too btw
im soon done
what r bindings
restrictions on pantehons
so i shouldnt use them if its my first time
did radiant mantis lords for the first time it was such a fun fight
same
its easy you just need good reaction time
bro i did it with 6 charms
ok idc?
with just quick slash and mark of pride
worse charms then you
whats the difference between the 2nd floor of godhome and 1st floor
ik how to beat it
when it pulls its mace back QUICKLY dash back and jump to avoid shockwavw
mhm ok
you can still dash under it
oki ll js beat it now
today is my first tiem palying in a year
like please
I can beat failed champ
6 masks
💔
failed champ scary
Successful Champion
just beat HK for the first time
nice
which ending
that was tragic af where the hell is my good ending
edge edge dege
the cycle repeats itself literally
🥀
are you trying to give me hints?
ok
Markoth isn't that hard ngl
what masks can I possibly be missing holy
I got 6 masks
Especially if it isn't the radiant/ascended area
Still easy
might still die
Are u playing steel soul?
didnt evne have nmg equipped
yea
and I ams omehow
missing 11 mask shards
ok wait I know which im missing
Oh damn good luck
alr colo time
I managed to get speedrun 2 on a steel soul save file 😭 I was like 3 seconds away from it being speedrun 1
Yeah
what are all spots you can use simple key?
Jijis place, and I honestly forgot
so someone mentioned there was another ending that didn’t involve my lil vessel repeating a terrible cycle to prevent a disastrous outbreak
Yeah there's another ending
heres the buid
jiji’s hut, pleasure house, top waterways access, and godseeker coffin
how does one achieve this
ok i got enoguh
Uhh it's a bit of grinding tbh
U can look up a tutorial for the dream no more ending
sounds like something i’d rather do this weekend
It does take a while if it's ur 1st playthrough
it is
It's worth it though
YESSSS
I won't spoil much
Ggs
had to tread through the hell of deepnest to find the final dreamer
i hated it
then felt bad for hornet
i should use shamans what am I dong
Yeah that was the worst part imo 😭
fuck deepnest
cant stay still for 2 seconds without the ground collapsing or me getting jumped
a
This now gives me PTSD 😭
lol
I have no idea how tf i'll do p5
Managed to get to the ending of pantheon 5 today, got cooked by absolute radiance
Yeahhh she does that
How many attempts?
It took me around a week or so
And as far as i've heard absrad is way way worse than pv
So I assume like 15?
So i ain't got no clue how i'll do it
Yeah I'm not gonna lie bro I'm not enjoying her fight
Not trying P5 yet on my part, currently grinding P4AB
already done the first 3 ones
Hardest boss across hk and ss so yea
Aside from modded
ima use shamans
I find PV easier than Nkg
A bit hard
Fair, next attempt with be my 7th and hopefully i can get up to absrad
Honestly nkg really gave me the reaction time training i needed
Good luck
Tysm
Pv also i find to have more openings
I find pv a little harder in ab purely because nail is too fucking short
I still genuinely mess up so much at nkg even when I practice him alot
The spikes is what gets me every time istg
No shit a boss is harder in an harder version
I can never get consistent on them
I don't really struggle with that tbh I usually always get cornered by NKG
Something i noticed about his fight is that he does attacks instantly when you hit him after dodging most of the time
He also sometimes decides to bait me and cancel his attacks
This is so inconsistent and always messes me up
no like it's not even becuz of hp quickslash or anything
It's literally just shortnail
Yeah
...so its obviously harder
Booo lost kin 👎
True
Hate that guy
Me too
What is a short nail?
I think the best thing you can do when that happens is just hope he doesn't spam his dash attacks
It's not very often but it's always a pain when it happens
You smash clankers?
I always pray he doesn't do that it messes me up so much but I usually try to get out of corners after an attack
That's probably the most common reason i died to him
colo 2 done final time: 6 minutes
Good job
I mean, when I've done his normal version it took me like 10 attempts? But now when I try to do him after that I genuinely struggle much more 😭
Who broke vessel?
yeah i lost sub 5 pace
Nightmare king grimm
Honestly
Oh he’s easy
Atp i find nkg easier than normal grimm
and knocked out by traitor lord P4AB, misjudged the wave attack which happened a lot earlier than i expected
Gotta train the others too lol
What attacks do you struggle on nkg?
Normal is just so unbelievably slow compared to him that it tripps me out
Damn, rip
You dying to nkg?
I usually get cornered which is the main reason why I die + I sometimes mess up that flame pillar attack and stutter step a bit too late which makes me die
I lost my sub 5 pace
Tbh i don't like the stutter step
sub 6 still doable
Do it again
to when?
Where u at
I find it somehow more risky than going for damage combos
js did colo 2
Ok nvm
I usually mess up because I'm stressed, especially in P5. Nearly died at the 1st phase because I messed up like the 1st few jumps
Oh yeah stress
But on pure vessel? Ive done him with like 1 hit and I got to abs rad
alr qg
I lost so many times bc i always start worrying I'll day after every new pb
I swear when I 1st got to PV in P4 I've trained him ever since
Almost done him on radiant too
I literally started throwing myself at his attacks out of stress
how many total mask sahrds does grubs give
1 I think
alr
A nice solid 1 for 5 grubs
ima claim all 46 at once
That will be so satisfying ngl
Let the grubfather throw all coins and then collect them
So you can watch your fps melt
We all love crashing our games
bro
He's one of the few bosses i actually feel requires a ton of practicing
i thought it was 6 for some reason
I aint doing the arenas w a flower
Cuz like with nkg you have less damage opportunities but more heal. Where as pv it's the opposite so you can't afford to take damage
its strange given i know every grub in crossroads is exactly enough
and i know their locations
Yeah, thats probably why I find PV easier than NKG I play more aggressive than passive
And the other reason is I just really like his bossfight
His boss fight is absolutely majestic
finally remembered
It's nice and fast paced
Bro, your name....
Also the music is great
I had a lobotomy mb bro
Dante.
Turn the clock, dante.
Absolutely
Dante I can't solve this wordle dante
The damn traitor forward walk
Same here. I just can't play passively at all
What if you just ddark after he does the slam attack because that's when he sometimes walks forward
Which is what makes me worry about absrad sm
It's so heavenly and unironically has a lot of vocals
Considering that the vessels can't have a voice to cry suffering
its one attack after the slam
not only directly
if you mean the pound and not the jump slam that is
Probably the main reason why Im struggling with her so much is because I play too aggressive
I think that makes me like it even more cuz it's so different from all the other themes
Sly is the best
Then that means im absolutely cooked
nah its fine
so long as you do it right
not as a beginne
i struggled crazy on him back then
its mostly the 2damage
his stupid arena makes it look more cramped than it actually is so nobody ever thinks to jump over him
yo this grub bro
how does anyone find this grub on their first play throguh
Is The Knight the only character in the game with zero voicelines or lines of dialogue?
Explore.
exploring as walking inside random walls?
theres 0 visual queues
you cant hear the grub
Would you consider The Pale King a "tragic hero"?
lock in
I mean he did radicalise a whole society
And he sacrificed everything he had to save his kingdom. His children, his integrity, and his life.
he was the reason he had to make sacrifices
Hello

Tragic heroes have a "fatal flaw" that causes them to fall. I guess for the Pale King it could be hubris?
if you shoot a school of children but have to sacrifice your life to revive them and then sacrifice yourself are you a hero?
Would The Hollow Knight fit better as a tragic hero?
typa reason hk community is hated
ive went form a new save to ahead of him in 5 hrs
It did have a mind. That's why it got infected.
not mind enough
The Hollow Knight was "tarnished by an idea instilled" as was the words of The White Lady.
he aint no hero
Nuh uh, he is.
cornball
markoth pmo
me neither lol
dude my headset gotta charge
ya
what is this abokmination
