@xXDFGVv d-pad on anything that's not a standard Switch is actually a solid piece, meaning it's still somewhat easy to mess up, especially, i found(as an owner of a ps4) that the ds4v2 has a tendency to give wrong d-pad inputs more often than the old models. There's a good reason why some custom controller shops give the option to make the four buttons on the d-pad be individual like on joycons, and this here is the reason.
@@ryanthephone8716 It reminds to me in the nights because the kitchen is literally the most far room from my bedroom so for getting a midnigjt glass of water I have to cross all my house.
"No cost too great..." Perhaps the pale king regretted that decision, after all this scene seems to imply an emotion bond with the vessel he would imprison for all time.
As a higher being, he probably didn't need to go through the traps in his own palace. Also, it seems to imply that all of it was just to seal away that one memory at the end, and that he exiled himself there and faded away in guilty at the end.
@@HenriqueErzinger It's more likely that since you are using the dream nail on one of the white knights, it's just the knight's mind and his deep loyalty for the King, creating a maze of traps to keep unwanted "visitors" from acessing memories of the palace.
Honestly, the path of pain isn't even that hard if you have enough patience and a decent controller(this was neither the easiest nor fastest path he chose) but the dlc bosses and the Ascension to godhood... That stuff is just insane.

The whole path in three minutes! That is extremely impressive, and with dashmaster so you had to take care not to accidentally dash downwards as well. Very good job. :)
Just starting another play through after a long while and man this is just incredible well done. You don't want to know how much time I spent waiting for hiveblood to heal me when I ran through this.
I’m just going to say thank you. I’ve been a sharp shadow addict for the longest time and it’s almost impossible for me to not use it and for a couple of weeks I thought that was the reason I couldn’t complete the path of pain, but after watching this I decided to try one more time and after two and a half hours and getting scared shittless after ending up with one mask after the kingsmold fight I finally completed it. So thank you for showing me it’s not impossible :)
The only way I could beat this was using hiveblood and being patient while my health refilled... I can't even fathom being able to do this. And the flower😱
*HK:* Uh dad how is anyone ever supposed to get thr- *Pale King:* Easy son, just go where the saws aren’t. Anyone could do it. *HK:* Uh yeah but- *Pale King:* Quiet son, it’s ESSENTIAL TO THE PRESERVATION OF HALLOWNEST!!!
@@Tattletales402 personally, it took me 8 hours. ...then i realized i was using dashmaster, sharp shadow and a controller with a mediocre d-pad. ...after fixing everything it took me another 2 hours just for the last room.
There is a single part in section 4 (2:13) that for some reasons no matter how I try I either dash to low and got hit when try to double jump, or dash too high and collide with the saw. Then I try Sharp Shadow as a last resort, and after adjust a bit to the new dash range, I get through that part in a single try. I don't know what is the problem, maybe the floor's hitbox is not entirely "flat" but actually uneven, or Sharp Shadow make your hitbox smaller when dashing. But either way Sharp Shadow is truly my savior.
You might down dash which can really mess up your rhythm. I don't think it happens a lot but it happens enough times to notice. It happened to me 3 times down dashing into a buzzsaw or spear
@@HighLanderPonyYT shit my mistake guess i wasn't paying attention to the names and more preoccupied on the mistakes i made when i was doing path of pain
Wow. I'm super impressed with this video. Great job. This video appeared in my recommended videos and I'm so happy i watch it. It took me 6 hours to beat this and I was down to 1 or 2 masks. I FREAKED out when I saw the enemies at the end and almost died. But luckily I beat them my first try. I feel like my mind tapped into Ultra Instinct at that moment but it looks like you actually Mastered it 😊
I did it with sharp shadow too, in a million tries of course. There is only one segment and only one jump in particular that's very difficult to do, the one at 0:58 that lands you right in the thorns... Exhausting shadow dash first so that I can use normal dash wasn't easy but overall sharp shadow made it easier for me especially in the last part. I tried doing it again w/o it and kept dying... Not sure why people always advise against it.
Yeah, other than that one spot sharp shadow actually isn't that bad a drawback in the Path of Pain. It does feel a bit more of a drawback at points in the White Palace. The increased length can throw off platforming though so I guess that's more the challenge.
Very smart, keeping the delicate flower shows this run wasn't spliced. Inb4 a contrarian says it could be a mod. You clearly show skill regardless and earned my respect.
You not only went through this entire ordeal known as the Path of Pain without any damage, but you also didn't cut any corners.....I am just so impressed....and freaking dashmaster.....holy damn man... not to mention... IT ONLY TOOK YOU 3 MINUTESTO COMPLETE!!!....there are just so many impressive things in this video.
I watch this as i get intense flashbacks to a year ago when i tried for an entire month to master the path of pain. and you do it hitless. and dashmaster why i hate everything after watching this
This is if the pale king hornet the knight the hollow knight and the white lady all lived together and the the got up in the night to get a glass of water
The fact that he had a delicate flower not only means he did path of pain hitless, he did all of white palace leading up to path of pain hitless. Big flex
The first time I played this I was wearing the two bracelets most people are saying that probably aren't recommended here, the Shadow-dashing one and the one you can dash downwards. I thought they would be helpful at first. Anyway, I was using a barely new Joystick, which in the middle of the thing I figured out that the D-pad was pushing left and down all of a sudden, which made me dash downwards when I was close to getting to a safe area. I got SO MANY deaths because of this and I was SO FRUSTRATED, but at that point I figured I was pretty much almost finishing, and I did not want to have to restart the whole thing. I had already spent more than 4 hours in this section of the game. The PAIN really got to me in the last section, right before we face those two white enemies at the end. When I finally managed to fall in the right place, I wasn't expecting them. I got a lot of hits, and I fought them the best I could, and then realized that, if I died, I would have to re-do EVERYTHING again. I still don't know how I did it, but I actually beat them with ONE MASK LEFT and completed the endeavor! I can't express in words how I felt knowing that I beat this thing using "bad" charms for the thing, a joystick with a defective D-Pad and survived ONE HIT away from losing completely. The feeling was incredible! And for those who may feel a bit overloaded by this video, as the creator already pointed out in a few comments, this area is totally optional, and there is no need to do this if you don't want to. Anyway, great video! Hope I can be as good as yourself in the future, because I really love this game. :)
@@iota-09 NKG is a blast once you learn his attacks. The first 40 attempts make me feel like quitting but once I started to recognize his telegraphing it was so satisfying.
@@blondebadger0311 nah, i knew his telegraphs well before that 40th attempt, what got me wasn't retrying, but having to wait to retry. Downtime beteeen retries is the bane of my willpower, the reason i never beat either gwyn nor artorias, yet managed to complete some ridiculous challanges in bloodborne, ds3 and, of course the path of pain. The less downtime there is between retrys, the more chances i have to actually complete a challenge, no matter how long it takes me. As long as you're careful with your heals, you can potentially never die in the path of pain no matter how many other mistakes you do, and between one try and the other there's a downtime of literally just 2 seconds.
My first time on the Path of Pain was a damn nightmare. Spent like 4 hours on the thing. Tried again a year later on my 2nd playthrough and beat it in like 30 minutes. It's so fun, I wish there was an option to replay it
This area is 100% optional and exists only for the challenge. There's no completion percentage or achievement tied to it so don't let it discourage you. Best of lucking getting through the game!

As long as you're careful with your heals, you can potentially never die in the path of pain no matter how many other mistakes you do, and between one try and the other there's a downtime of literally just 2 seconds.
@@iota-09 Artorias is the best boss in all the souls games ever made. Perfectly balanced. Not a fakin mess.
@@Raylightsen where di i say that?
I have no words for this dude.
This video gives me anxiety. Where’s my Xanax! 😅
Anyway, gg, you’re a platform master
Imagine the Pale King just watching this with utter horror, lmao
-_- just getting there alone is a Hassel
My first time on the Path of Pain was a damn nightmare. Spent like 4 hours on the thing. Tried again a year later on my 2nd playthrough and beat it in like 30 minutes. It's so fun, I wish there was an option to replay it
I think QoL mod allows you to replay it, if you're on PC.
1:45 wait THAT'S the way you're supposed to go???
Well isn't this oddly satisfying.
I started playing this game two days ago and now I don't wanna play lol
This area is 100% optional and exists only for the challenge. There's no completion percentage or achievement tied to it so don't let it discourage you. Best of lucking getting through the game!
@@CrankyTemplar oh ok, appreciate the Info. I'm so bad at the spike jumps I got kinda nervous seeing this.
@@droveraccoon If you are not a masochist, you better drop this game, for your own sanity.
@@Raylightsen why do you keep making comments telling people to stop playing the game? Is this your way of coping with anger for when you lose? It's not the games fault you're having troubles.
Oh this seems fun. I can’t wait to play this level.
Majestic.
Not the hero we DESERVED, but the hero we *NEEDED*
The dash master charm looks like sans...
Waixler83 cuz sans dash fast xddd
That's illegal
I salute you because I fricken hated the Path of Pain with a vengeance, what a legend.
