  • This is a run of All Achievements NMG, The Longest Hollow Knight category on the leaderboards. The category requires two different save files to be completed, and totals up to around 10 hours of playtime. As you might expect, that means the run is complete suffering to get through. I set out to finish a run, and ended up getting second place!
    Gonna try to get more content out soon, aiming to do weekly uploads!

    Hi! For those wondering, Low% True Ending (popularised my runners like Skurry) is not an actual leaderboard category, because it is not run single segment. (Meaning the player takes breaks in the run) This category is the longest No Major Glitches category on the leaderboards for Hollow Knight!
    Will I run Low% TE at some point? Probably!

      He edits out the process tho. Usually only showing him approaching the grub and then leaving the room, editing out the breaking of said grub jar. So he clearly wants his fans to continue to think that he hates the grubs, even if it's just a running joke by now.
      Also, he actively won't save them - or be shown saving them - even when time or speed doesn't matter. Unlike say, other popular runners who will always break grub jars for fun.

      @just a flygon would low% godhome be that long? If anything, it would be shorter, right? I mean, having to kill all bosses without most abilities only sounds hard, not long. The reason low% TE takes so long is because you have to farm essence from enemies, which has a drop rate of 0.5%. That's why it's so time consuming. Killing all bosses without basic equipment may sound tough but it doesn't sound particularly long. Unless I'm missing something obvious.

Low% TE is hard because low% means that you have to kill as little bosses as possible. When your default condition is all bosses low% godhome is just a matter of how little progression items and abilities do you need to beat godhome.

    Props for somehow condensing 10 hours of footage into 30 minutes 👍

    It's kinda sad that the first, shorter run is the the one with the good decision (disbanding the troupe, sparing nailsmith, and killing zote)

    Its so funny that theres an achievement for getting 112% in 20 hours yet there is a speedrun where u get that and everything else u possibly can in half of that

    I'm sorry, but any run that you have to do ANY of the Trials in, I'm out. I will gladly run all grubs or something stupid, but not Trials.
    You have my utmost respect for doing those more than the one time necessary for the achievement

      You need pale ore in both save files because of 2 different nailsmith achievements.
      And to get all of the pale ore, you have to complete the first 2 trials.
      In speedruns there's almost always a specific route that people follow to get the fastest time, and rarely do people stray away from it, especially for such big things as trials.
      Blue did this only because it's a part of the route, not because he wanted to.
