I hope you all enjoyed this different style of video! I probably won't do it again because it was a lot of work to make a (kinda) coherent story to go along normal gameplay. I'm hoping to go back to some more challenging challenge runs and/or softlocks in the near future that focus more on the skipping/technical side of Hollow Knight. I might also take a little break from youtube, the last couple of videos took a lot of time and energy and I think I need a little break from all that :D

Loved it!
You know what would have been extra sick? Having someone voice act the radiances lines
@@LordCrusher true
I hope you keep having characters narrate playthroughs
i really like this style
oddly entertaining to have the radiance narrate it
this makes me very happy because i was not sure people would even realize that the radiance was narrating
Yeh
Absolute Entertainment
@@FIREOWLHK yea for a bit I didn't either.
any entertainment is fine
Skurry shivers in fear after seeing you defeat ALL the dream warriors with dream shield only
fun fact: skurry did dshield only markoth in their steel soul bingo based off of my original dshield only markoth video!
@@FIREOWLHK Wow I didn’t realize that you had done it first!
If only the radiance realized the best line of defense would be a never ending loading screen...
Ie. A steel soul death(that deletes da save)
Actually, if a screen was loading for too long after dying to a boss while having any help whatsoever, (grimmchild, defenders crest, dreamshield, weaversong and glowing womb i think) the boss will continue taking damage, possibly die in some cases
To avoid saying 'Radience:' at the front of all subtitles, you can assign a different color/font representing each pov to make it easier to stand out without directly telling us who is saying what
thanks for the feedback
If you think about any videogame challenge run from a in world perspective, it becomes so much more amusing. A character surmounting what most would call invincible foes and impassable obstacles. Mastering movement, magic and combat, defeating Gods and Demons, Saving their village, their kingdom, their world, while handicapping themselves just to make things interesting.
The part with the purple mushrooms was so funny. I've never imagined so many people got stuck there, it honestly blows my mind.
I really wish i could experience that level of true blind first hollow knight playthrough, not knowing how to pogo must be wild
If it wasn't for the bouncy mushrooms, I would have never learned that I can downslash and would have completed Hollow Knight without pogoing.
Im gonna have a mental breakdown brb
@@ricardobr1493 but why though?
@@mkks4559 how did you never once try to pogo
@@ricardobr1493 I don't know there wasn't any clear indication for it. However, I vaguely remember trying to stomp on the first Crawlid in King's Pass.
@@mkks4559 same😂😂😂
Radiance: the ghost proceed to assert his dominance
Ghost to hornet: “YOU CANT DEFEAT ME I HAVE THE HIGH GROUNDS”
*”IT’S OVER HORNET”*
Great video! I can see why it took so long to make, with the radiance narrating. I understand if you don't want to do this style again, but it was fun as a one-off!
appreciate it! it was difficult coming up with a coherent story while also keeping the main focus on the actual challenge run aspect of the video. if i feel this style of video fits well with a different video idea, i may do it again :D
@@FIREOWLHK please do! Especially with the Radiance as the narrator, I love seeing things imagined from her perspective 😂
“Almost as if they did the same route 100 times already”
Timelines, clearing saves, LORE
the thought of going through the white palace without pogoing wingmoulds disturbs me greatly
“If only I controlled the mantis population; none of this could have happened”
- Radiance 2022
This video is so great, I love the Radiance narrating it. But yeah I can see that this would be a lot of work.
Also I never realized that so many people had a problem with the mushrooms in Wastes lmao
its honestly hilarious reading all the threads on bouncy mushrooms. they’re always worded so ironically and it makes me wonder if its some sort of inside joke im not aware of
To be fair it took me an hour to remember I could even pogo so I spent an hour figuring out how to get past them lmao (I hadnt played anything even half at challenging as hk at that point)
I was one of the people who didn't know you could pogo. I assumed it was some kind of ability like Dive or Cloak that I would unlock later. Some downward attack. So instead I got the Lantern, Dream Nail, and scouted everything on the part of the map available to me. I don't remember how I learned about pogoing, maybe friends told me, maybe I looked it up.
These mushrooms made me realize I can use nail in any direction, not just right/left. I just never tried it before. And I can tell that vengefly king with only sideslash was kinda hard. There should be some note about it in king's pass tutorial imo
I remember discovering pogoing with that spiky shell dude over acid guarding the way to fog canyon. I thought I was the shit lmao
Very well edited with proper levels of dank and meme, very nice
thanks dan!
this is why you dont mess with moths, if they can buy a thousand dollar lamp they can buy a 10 dollar pipebomb directly to your shell
what about if they have 1009 dollars
this story far exceeds those of Shakespeare, William Golding, and Ray Bradbury
Can you kill the Rad with anything else besides the nail?
The dreamshield in your case or magic or thorns of agony?
I do like the story though.
Anyone can do a speedrun but how many can make a story of it; that still meshes with the HK lore.
The White Palace looks almost easier without pogoing.
Post whatever of why don't you have more subs?
thanks, i appreciate it!
radiance can be killed with any nail related attacks, narts included
wp definitely isnt easier with pogoing, some of the skips i normally do literally aren’t possible without pogos
Let’s goooo new video!
Very good and very well done 👍
I actually really enjoyed this narrative from the radiance’s perspective, but it’s fine if you don’t want to keep doing these
I never knew I needed a video narrated by the Radiance until today
(Also, Gorb sounds like a squeaky toy when sped up so much it’s hilarious)
14:14 I never realized that could be done, that actually seems easier than what I do in that room
2:37 run dead sadge
i didnt really count that as a pogo but yeah i can see what you mean. i guess if a see a lot of strong vocal comments saying that this disqualifies the run ill put it in the pinned comment
I would not count it, that was only a downward nail hit not a pogo.
What makes it a pogo is the bounce, hence the term pogo
Wow, I like how the actual “not pogoing” part is barely mentioned and the main idea is narrating a Hollow Knight run from the Radiance’s perspective
This went from beating hollow knight without pogos to beating hollow knight with dream shield only
funny story, when I got hollow knight, I hadn't seen any playthroughs or anything about the game other than the steam page since it was relatively new. I actually didn't know that pogos were a thing. I only swung my nail left and right for as long as I could until I was stuck at the pogo mushrooms in fungal core. I tried for so long to bounce off them just by jumping to no avail. I'm curious how people are supposed to find out about pogos if not from watching other people do it or accidentally doing it...
At that point you had wings so I don’t know how you got stuck there and no bench so save and quit
(But I think you mean fungal waste)
I realized I could upslash in king's pass and then it was just a matter of reasoning that if i could attack in 3 cardinal direction, i could probably slash in the fourth. Then again, I'm a veteran to metroid and you can attack in 8 directions for most of those games
Most underrated sentence: we can become the strong together
i only noticed that after i spent three hours exporting the video so i just left it in
call it an “easter egg”
"The ghost finds a big EGG" skurry???????
As one of the folks who had to look up how to progress because they didnt know about pogoing the mushrooms, that section hit hard
This is one of the easiest i think because all the level design is built seeing pogo as a secret mechanic until Path of Pain. So the pogo is always a gear to make everyhing easier but never required
thats why i had to mix up this challenge with something more interesting, hence the radiance narration
@@FIREOWLHK always interesting though playing this game in every way possible :)
THE MIGHTY
THE POWERFUL
FALSE KNIGHT
*embarrassingly falls down*
I'm actually surprised that people needed help with the bouncy mushrooms. I figured them out right away
This is an amazing vid, the work on it really paid off, i think :> great pace, great narration, great humor. Overall really creative and fun. I'd love to see more like this.
I like the fact that's the Radiance who tell the story
I completely forgot that this was a no pogo challenge. The Radiance story was pretty entertaining
It’s very creative and interesting to have the Radiance narrating it, nice work!
The TRUE Final Boss...
BOUNCY MUSHROOMS!
I forgot about the challenge half way through and I just enjoyed reading the radiance dialogue
I've played this game since the days Hidden Dreams was the only released content pack and I still think they should have included some sort of clear indication you can attack vertically.
The problem for me wasn't knowing I can pogo. The problem was knowing I can attack in any direction other than left and right. Once I figured that out by looking it up, knowing I can pogo was an instant natural realization.
To be fair, it seems like they tried having a pogo tutorial in that little area after False Knight with the Snail Shaman (I keep forgetting its name) by making you attack platforms right below you, but problem it, horizontal slashes take care of them just fine, so they failed at teaching me and countless other people.
That being said, watching this video actually made me want to attempt this myself, but without upward attacks as well, just like the dumb me from 5 years ago played :)
There's another room in forgotten crossroads with a grub after pooing platforms with spikes on them, although it's 0ptional
@@Sepi-chu_loves_moths I have seen that room on my first playthrough. I figured it's impossible with my current abilities.
im pretty sure a regular attack can finish off the radiance
yeah it does, nail arts work as well
this is me when the first time I played hollow knight..... I didn't know pogo exist
2:38 has some interesting movement, if I do say so myself.
The Radiance narrating was very cute but the thing is that
According to the lore
The dreamers slept to lock the black egg to lock the hollow knight in which the Pale king planned to contain the Radiance so when the Little Ghost is killing the dreamers he's actually helping Radiance to escape the black egg even more.
Nice video tho
Keep up the good workk😊
Hope u respond to this comment
thank you!
the purple mushrooms were so relatable it’s scary
This video was so much fun ; the editing is great, the narration by Radiance was such a cool idea, and doing the White Palace without pogoing was *insane*. Also, the pipe bomb plan made me cackle, I've subscribe just because of it lol thank you so much and I hope you have a lovely week
thank you so much :)
Me : tries to sleep
The mosquito next to my ear : 11:19
This was such a high quality video from a low sub count channel! Amazing video, definitely earned yourself a like and sub.
fire owl lore shroomPog
reject hk lore, embrace fire owl lore
@@FIREOWLHK so true
I was eagerly waiting to see path of pain pogoless, but I can understand why it wasn't included.
i wanted to do pop but it’s literally impossible without glitches :(
The most impressive fact is they did almost the whole run without taking off dreamshield -.-
THANK YOU FOR DOING THE BONK NOISE FOR TRAITOR LORD’S DEATH
i saw an edit with that once and i could never forget it
Came for copper and found gold
There were barely any challenges with not pogoing but the in game story narrated through radiances pov was so fun
this is one motion sick ghost
I appreciate this challenge because when I first played, I had NO IDEA you could pogo! Gravity doesn't usually work like that, y'know? Got Roadblocked by the frickin' Moss knight and didn't play again for years DX Thank heavens for watching other people (who actually know what they're doing!) play on youtube!
Super underrated :)
Lol radiance kinda dumb ngl.
beautiful story
The funiest thing about this video is that broken vessel came from the roof wich means you died to it lol
The whole video is golden, but 9:27 and the bit with Radiance after takes the cake IMO
until the white palace bit i completelyforgot it was a no pogo challenge lmao
In my casual playthrough I didn't know that the pogo existed so I didn't use it until the mushrooms in fungal wastes. I searched for hours and got so stumped until I accidentaly did it
I was so caught up in the amazing storytelling, I completely forgot that the goal was not to pogo
Until White Palace
love to see radiance's point of view lol
thanks for your work!
You missed a great opportunity at the thumbnail u could have made the no pogos meme by mega mind lol
i was kinda going for that with the text lol
16:48, The first hit on The Radiance was a pogo!
no?
Those are wings
I am pretty sure he pogoed at 2:38 not trying to "expose" this guy or anything, the challange would be still possible but i think it's kinda funny oopsie in editing
i wouldn't really consider it a pogo cause i didn't bounce off anything, not to mention i pogoed radiance at the end anyway so it doesn't really matter
Never did i think that id see radiance roleplay, but here i am..
The mighty
The powerfull
The... dead..?
Yes those mushrooms were the worst to figure out in my first playthrough.
With the exception of bouncing on the mushrooms I'm pretty sure I did this on my first playthrough. I didn't know nail pogos were a thing until months after I had beaten the game
Yes but it must be very boring ;) Love the content!
Fake radiance real radiance speaks and thinks in all caps
12:06 gorb looks and sounds like a firework lol
Dreamshield MVP?
i cant believe im saying this but.. dshield mvp!
I recently started my first playthrough, and I made it to Fungal Wastes without a single pogo. I HEARD pogo is a big thing in this game, but just didn't know how to do it until I read a Reddit post.
Okay i just found a masterpiece :D
You pogot in 2:38 (still a great video)
At 5:39 it says “I didn’t even plan on getting menderbug here it was completely by accident lol” so you don’t have to spam pause
(Also great video dude I enjoyed it a lot!)
What black (void) magic was used to open the black egg without fighting for survival in deepnest!?
Wait, why was quirrel there? Does he stay alive if you don’t meet him at blue lake? Or you should never talk to him or something?..
the real question is... How did she write this after getting locked into the void
you absolutely deserve more views and attentions! this video is very well made
I didn't know that you can slash up and down till not watched some guides. I already had crystal dash and dreamnail somehow without mantis claw and double jump when i discovered pogoing.
I have no idea if this is a pogo but, if you play 2:38 at 0.25 speed, does he pogo the ground when we lands? Is this an accidental pogo?😳
This might be the only Hollow Knight challenge that's harder for speedrunners than it is for n00bs.
That ghost went full Markoth mode... that's insane... I should probably try it at some point...
On like one third I already forgotten that it was about hollow knight without pogos and just watched radience's plans
The part about the purple bouncy mushrooms is hilarious. I was stuck on the purple bouncy mushrooms longer than the mantis lords
I played the game without knowing I could pogo until I got stuck in fungal wastes for months and decided to search online
I love how you made the video completely to the radiance's perspective like he can't see in ghost's dream and can't see in the white lady's cocoon
No Eyes sounds like a bird
I love the Radiance narration
I need more Radience gaming.
I actually didn't know you can pogo off of some background objects and hazards until white palace in my first run lol
Gotta love that the Radiance can't see into the White Lady's room just like the godseekers. Nice attention to detail
".....the ghost had a little argument with their sister..."
yeah battling to the death is a small and insignificant argument
Thank goodness it’s radiance approved I wouldn’t have watched otherwise
THE MIGHTY
THE POWERFUL
false knight
Good....
*now beat the game without Pogos and without taking damage*
I though I saw a pogo in the beginning.
in the radiance fight? theres a reason for that :)
@@FIREOWLHK i thought you could kill the radiance in the last phase with a nail hit
@@birbtheworldender2673 you can it was purely to give the story more logic :P
@@FIREOWLHK ah, i see
LMAO this is hilarious. Great vid
