“The path of pain with emotinal support, but one of my pets keeps diving into thorns, one drains my energy, and sabotages me, and the other one does literally nothing”
This is the playthrough of someone who has beaten this a couple times before and decided "You know what? I need my pets." And brought them along for a joy ride.
I actually used Weaversong to get through this, the last hit on the kingsmould was actually done by a Weaverling, right before it was about to hit me, when I had 1 health left.
@@joshuachung2448 hell yeah I did 😎. I quit on the first part for a bit to finish the rest of the white palace before attempting it again. I eventually came back and spent like 3 hours in one sitting to complete it fully. The thing about it was that I knew the path of pain existed, so I knew what charms to bring (i.e the hiveblood charm). I just didn't know where it was.
@@josephjoestar953 Dashmaster is a fucking suicide though. The last part requires you to pogo + dash. I accidentally downdashed a lot there until I gave up and try the whole thing again without it.
@@kynan1232 It all depends on how experienced you are with platformers. PoP (for all that it took me hours the first time around) is not all *that* bad in hindsight, compared to some of the things the modding community has come up with since, while waiting for Silksong... (shudders)
@@PowerRaccoonKun worst charms to use by far are dashmaster and sharp shadow. The extra length sharp shadow gives and the ability to dash down and kill yourself are absolute trash for this.
@@3DOM_ sharp shadow and dashmaster are not good for path of pain, unless you are doing a speedrun for the world record. But for an average run of it, you are absolutely right
@@PowerRaccoonKun to conclude, if anyone sees this, use hiveblood, grubsong, mark of pride and quick slash. They are easily the best for this challenge.
Mine is too, but if you have enough time and patience, you can beat pay of pain, it took me a week’s worth of time to beat it but I just wanted to see the Path of Pain ending for myself. I hope one day you will attempt the start of it (you would have to beat the white palace which is kinda hard so good luck for that too if you haven’t beaten it yet)
@Ok I know everyone has different skill levels, but, I feel like you shouldn’t try to call it easy in any sort, yes there are tutorials, speedruns, etc. but they help you see what’s happening and certain ways you can do it, but, that doesn’t make the platforming any different and hard to execute it. It’s going to take a while for it to be considered easy to most, Also sorry if I came off as rude, I just can’t type well
The path of pain and the trial of the fool are the only non-pantheon related things of the game I haven't been able to complete and honestly the path of pain feels more feasible to me than the trial of fool and it's fucking aerial combat phase. The latter mention should probably give away why those 2 are the only things I haven't completed.
wheni was still a noob i watched some parh of pain videos and it sounds easy and now look where i am now. i was able to do the thing intel that segment where you have to pogo like a million buzzsaw so you have to pogo EVEN MORE buzzsaws without a single check point 1:29. i gave up also having emotional support in a game somehow helps and i honestly apreceate you doing pop without hiveblood or grubsong. absolute legend.
@@itsmeplush I don’t think I have the skill for that.... on my main save and first try it took me about a week’s worth of time, but it was only the beginning and end that took a while the in-betweens weren’t too hard, if I ever do another play through of the game and I get the awokened dream nail I’ll take path of pain into consideration. Thanks for the encouragement :D
@@PowerRaccoonKun man I couldn't even so it I kept getting to the final chamber before the kingsmold or whatever they called it's been awhile and I just couldn't get the timeing with the spikes right and kept failing after so long I just gave up
@@Beast_killer. it is definitely hard, but I have the time to spend just trying to beat the Path of Pain, if I were to go back it would probably take my half the time but the whole thing is just frustrating. If you ever get back there and you have free time I suggest you watch a guide, I needed it for the end since I couldn’t figure out how to get through some parts, taking breaks really do help, when I was frustrated I noticed that I did so much worse like not crystal dashing at a good timing to then I would die right after or dashing right into the tips of those three side platforms, it made me even more frustrated so I just went to watch videos on UA-cam and when I came back I actually made progress on Path of Pain. And if you do get to the kingsmoulds you should pause the game take a deep breath, and use as many spells as you can, they are one of the toughest enemies in the game to fight, I would recommend getting on top of them and using desolate dive/descending dark, I’m pretty sure it does the most damage possible if you make contact with the enemy. If you ever go back I hope this can help a bit!
I don't know why I always watch path of pain runs when there recomeded to me, it just makes me sad seeing people with disadvantages one shot a room that took me hours
Good god; the path of pain. I can beat the pantheon of hallownest all day long, but I get completely destroyed by path of pain. The one and only time I managed to it, it took several hours per day over the course of four or five days. The margins for error are just soooooo thin.
I haven't played hollow knight in months other than the occasional tromp through the regular areas for no good reason but watching this evoked an intense emotion in me I don't know what the fuck to call it or what to do with it now but man this shit is ingrained holy shit
in path of pain, glowing womb would be counter effective since it consumes the soul you would use to heal normally, but it's nice to have emotional support from the babies i guess
Hollow Knight is actually quite friendly with spawn points, which made it not really *that* hard. Also, I didn’t get through that secret door in the beginning XD thank you
im glad they helped you through your painful path :)
all they did was cause more suffering but i love them anyways
@@cysipy its the thought that counts
@@cysipy They helped with the final fight though 😁
Path of pain hell mode speedrun but the hell are pets
They will only help emotionally but I see why you wrote this comment
“The path of pain with emotinal support, but one of my pets keeps diving into thorns, one drains my energy, and sabotages me, and the other one does literally nothing”
Who's the other one?
@@lostshade9513 grimm child
Grimmchild is the only one offering real emotional support.
Grimmchild was shooting the wingmoulds sometimes, removing a pogo target.
Just like real kids!

@@genaroperez8325 yes.
Bruh you don't need emotional support after this, the path does
LOL
Cause it’s made of pain

did you reach the end

I never really needed hiveblood for path of pain, I beat it using grubsong and deep focus plus dash and sprint master charms.

3:34 you were watching the grimm dancing with your son
awh thats cute
Distraction
"Get in kids! We're going to watch a cutscene!"
The weaverlings are just chilling in the thorns
I mean, I can do PoP fast but the last segment where you have to pogo the buzzsaw to get to the other side always kills me everytime.
Same here.
On my first playthrough I did path of pain with no knowledge on what it was in 30 minutes.

It took me 7 painful hours but I completed it. So glad I spent my time doing productive things like that 🫡🙂🙃🙂
@@pokehearts121 you could be glad*
Imagine doing the path of pain just to have grim child cover the lore scene

Alright kiddos we're going to "Path of Pain"
Congratulations by passing the path of pain. I’ve never passed and just watching it already makes me afraid of it.
Pro tip: do not do it with these charms.
@@3DOM_ I agree! They would actually make it harder :P

I completed the path of pain over a year ago now, but the section at 2:11 is still embedded into my brain deeply.
incredible
absolutely phenomenal
The weaverlings are just vibing in the thorns tho
1:48
The knight: oh no I messed up :(
The emotional support: It’s okay we’re here for you
The knight: thanks guys :D
The knightflies: *kaboom*
the knight taking their pets with them to work but they keep wandering off and/or getting in the way
The pure vessel custom knight skin is a nice touch!

Grimmchild and the weaverling: WE HAVE THE ZOOMIES WE WILL NEVER CEASE
this is so cute. and I'm very impressed at how well you did
Now my question is how do people do this in under an hour
Once u start playing it a lot it gets easier. On my first save it took me over 2 hours, and on my latest save it took me under 10 minutes

How moms feel when buying groceries with their kids
POV: you're envying all the charms' offsprings because they don't die by thorns, saws and retractable lances
This looks like how my grandparents would explain how they got to school, but more so
Please don't flex on me like this, it's too painful
Oh It's so cute 😍 the little Ghost Along with the of weaverssong and Grimm children
plot twist: they were all mocking you for taking damage
WOW im so impressed your making the path of pain look so easy even tho its so hard!!😔💖
rolling through the buzzsaw filled dream castle with the squad
I don't know why I always watch path of pain runs when there recomeded to me, it just makes me sad seeing people with disadvantages one shot a room that took me hours
I like how you suddenly start rushing when you see a wingsmould so you could strike it before grimmchild could
yeah ive experienced a lot of fail runs because the babies attack the wing mould
@@cysipy lol
bruh i searched for path of pain guide with emotional support like 2 months ago and i get this in my recommended now when ive already beaten it
Man....it's a battle between you and the minions who hits things first, other than support this is hardcore!
Me trying to heal:
The flying bois: no
The real path of pain was the friends we made along the way!
Now this is the Quality Content I love!!!
Me & Master on the god damn pain road
My self : world record die coutn
Master : speed run
With the power of friendship
Me at start: he’s too dangerous to be left alive
*gets hit by thorns*
Me: Well nobody’s perfect, my point still stands.

Ngl that was fuckin sick how fast you did that I can see the skill in how you were able to move around good job
You are not just a shade YOU pure vessel
No way this is the same game i start to play this month. Impossible to pass that with my current abillity af. Saludos de latinoamerica 🇧🇷
Pale king: after I set up 1000 buzzsaws, it will take those idiots 4 hours to get in
This guy: 4 minutes is more than enough
okay but this was so impressive to watch
5 hours of pain in 4 minutes of calm music.
It took me a whole night to pass through this,and then I died :)
Path of pain with emotional support that also brings them more pain
I haven't played hollow knight in months other than the occasional tromp through the regular areas for no good reason but watching this evoked an intense emotion in me I don't know what the fuck to call it or what to do with it now but man this shit is ingrained holy shit
This is no longer path of pain
Its path of pure depression and agony
me: sees speedrun moves
also me: wouldn't that make you FIREBORN?!
This is me playing hollow knight all the time......the pets i mean not the skill.
me playing hollow knight after speedrunning celeste: you know what? that's actually doable
Face it you want it,
Path of pain invincibility mode
I guess this is the correct way to pass path of pain, with your cute pets, all things are better with some cuteness
I know there are other impressive parts to this but I find the consecutively downward thrusts to climb things to be very satisfying.
This is a certified sealed vessel moment
This man is a literal GOD
Do you think Grim child could just pick up the Knight?
He has nothing To grab it
The knight would have to ride him
a strong grimmchild would bite the knights horn and carry them over
These are deeds only the POWERFUL can do
At least you have a partner to be watching with
You are insane men you are so good
Grimmchild's probably glad he can fly after seeing the crap the little Knight had to do just to get past all that.
Looking only at a fraction of the path of pain i literally will never be able to beat this part
in path of pain, glowing womb would be counter effective since it consumes the soul you would use to heal normally, but it's nice to have emotional support from the babies i guess
Hollow Knight is actually quite friendly with spawn points, which made it not really *that* hard.
Also, I didn’t get through that secret door in the beginning XD thank you
No honey charm? *you are the equivalent of a depressed man who derives his emotional support from relatives instead of food. p a t h e t i c.*
I love the music so much
Best title i saw so far
I refuse to break that wall
No sane person should be this good at the path of pain.
Something we all need
Genuinely considering doing this 😂 (without the glowing womb charm though. I’ll need that soul.)
No HiveBlood? You sure are an epic gamer
amazing
I felt every word said by the emotional support 💔
This is the most wholesome least wholesome thing
dang i need that emotional support
U earned my sub :) I'm an og now
the wallcling storage at 2:50 was impressive to me
That was crazy!! Gj!
Path of pain but its more than pain
This is a super person!
My whole brain while watching this: Wtf- What the fuck wha- whats going on!?
Imagine trying white palace without deep focus, grub song, and qwickslash
Everyone I watch someone do Path of Pain it makes me question how I ever made it thru.
"emotional support" yeh grimmchild scrwed me up a buncha time when I got sidetracked gathering flame
The game master. Salute
