20:55 the donation message is a changed up version of the hollow knight memorial. No one pointed that out so I thought I would. The donation message at 28:41 is a reference to a dream warrior named gorb who says “I am Gorb!” When you challenge him.
Speaking of Hollow Knight speedruns, I recently tried to get the 5 hours or less achievement. My final time was 5 hours and 2 minutes. I was more than a little upset.
That's rough. I used this guide to get it: steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=878193536. I was really worried that I wasn't hitting the time goals, but then I realized that they were set for a 3-hour run rather than a 5.
@The Flying Pigs Association, since the grimm troupe, you can now do that and get 6% so you technically don't need to do the trial of fools to get the achievement. Just something to watch out for in your next run. I am yet to try it, although I have heard it works so I'd research this just in case
Best game of 2017. Make no mistake, this run only shows about 10% of the game. Here's to hoping next GDQ will do an all bosses run. Hell, there's a 100% run on UA-cam done in 4 hours. Took me 50 hours...
Truly one of the greatest indies games i've ever seen. I wish I knew more about the lore, I may read into it more. The only indie game I think of off the top of my head I liked more was the Swapper.
I love how easy some thing appear in this speedrun, when really when playing this game casually it's not at all the way the game goes. i had explored all of forgotten crossroads, and greenpath, and fungal wastes, and only then did i get matis claw in mantis village. in the speedrun he gets it in 12 mins, but playing it casually you actually get it after about 3-4 hours of gameplay, if not more, depending on how much you want to explore.
You can definitely get the Infected Crossroads without killing any of the Dreamers. I know, because it happened to me in my second playthrough. Someone on the Steam forums said it can also be triggered by beating the Broken Vessel.
I got lucky and got it on the weekday sale since i forgot to buy it during the summer sale. This game is great and i cant tell if its heart breaking or amazing since its destroyed in less than a hour.
Why didn't he bench-teleport after the jellyfish boss? Wouldn't it have taken him to the entrance, where he even went out of his way to save at the bench?
2 months later and still no fixed version... Don't bother with this UA-cam version, just watch it on twitch instead: www.twitch.tv/videos/156491630?t=09h06m03s
All of these people talking about Hollow Knight being the best game of 2017 or even favorite of all time... It's not even halfway through the year. Or at least wasn't during SGDQ
Great run for one of the most, if not THE most overrated game of the year. There are people that consider THIS one of their favourite games? Wow, they have very low standards......
Caduceus Kite Shield You should try it though, I wasn't super impressed when I watched gameplay footage of it, but I bought it anyway because of the hype and I'm glad I did because I enjoyed it far more than what I expected and saw on UA-cam.
If anyone wants to view the vod straight from twitch it is here: www.twitch.tv/videos/156491630 at around 8 hours 58 minutes and 38 seconds.
Cheers!
the actual run starts at 9:05:52
Elderbug raising his hand in sadness as you ignore him gets me every time :(

Try getting 99% steel soul file and dying in the trial of fools like I did

I did the same thing!
Then I started again and got it.
Got 5 hours and 13 seconds lol
Definitely my favorite game of 2017, loved the run.

Believe me, if I had a PS4, I would buy Nioh in a second.
I did the true ending 93% in 46 hours.
Tis a good game.

dark souls metroid bug-fencing simulator is probably the most hilariously accurate description of hollow knight
(55:09)
Probably the single most immersive game I have ever played
In my 20 years of gaming i have never experienced a better 2d game than this . it's just sad that it is only known as a hidden gem .
Silksong gonna skyrocket the popularity of Team Cherry to infinity
On the switch eshop it's always on the most bought
This game is amazing
he makes it look so easy. I'm started playing this yesterday and it's not easy. i died loads, lol

Charles Jones Specifically grabbing the Monarch Wings
Charles Jones
it can happen with either
Yeah, that happened to me in my first playthrough
Audio issues on this upload; damn. Ouro did a fantastic job running and commentating
Download and install "Audio EQ" Chrome extension, click the equalizer icon in the top right, select "Mono".
"these are the abyss watchers"
Ah yes. There is simply nothing I enjoy more than watching nothing
Hope there's a #Wormie% run in the future :D
Love some Metroidvania style games, and the art for this game looks really neat. May have to try this one out.
What a lovely boyish heartthrob
20:03 So whenever you open up the menu when you are-
WAH!
20:06 Did someone call for MORE WALUIGI?
Nice run, I love this game :)
This game is beautifil. Definitely is the best game i play in 2017.

"There's an item that lets you swim in the acid water."
The fuck? How did I miss this.
ismi's tear. you get it from ismi's grove, which is somewhere off greenpath (i don't remember exactly where) but getting it lets you swim in acid.
I found it. It's actually in a different part of the map entirely all the way in bottom right Royal Waterways.
I got lucky and got it on the weekday sale since i forgot to buy it during the summer sale. This game is great and i cant tell if its heart breaking or amazing since its destroyed in less than a hour.
Easily one of my top 3 games of all time.
Why didn't he bench-teleport after the jellyfish boss? Wouldn't it have taken him to the entrance, where he even went out of his way to save at the bench?
No, because when you kill Dreamers you get your save point reset to them, he talked about it after the first dreamer.
hallsofmetos then that was a recent change as Ive seen runs that use the bench tp after dreamers
Game is so much more optimized now it's crazy
Is it me hearing bad or he called Horned that terrible word? 18:46
2 months later and still no fixed version...
Don't bother with this UA-cam version, just watch it on twitch instead: www.twitch.tv/videos/156491630?t=09h06m03s
Gameplay mechanics and graphics look very similar to Ori for me
Ironically, "zote" in Spanish can be a synonim for fool, idiot, or just someone not very bright :)
Hollow Knight = Metroidsouls
Incredible how many people can't read
YO nice
whos on the couch
All of these people talking about Hollow Knight being the best game of 2017 or even favorite of all time... It's not even halfway through the year. Or at least wasn't during SGDQ
Welp, hasn't changed for me.
For me neither. And I am not even that much into metroidvanias.
Still hasn’t changed ngl
He begins every sentence with "Uhmmm"
No he doesn't.
Fix your videos
I feel like I'm the only person who thinks this game is garbo. The speedrun was actually dope tho.
@Pascal483 Garbo means garbage. And I've actually changed my opinion since writing this comment. I really love the game actually
Great run for one of the most, if not THE most overrated game of the year. There are people that consider THIS one of their favourite games? Wow, they have very low standards......
I mean, must not be your type of game.
Caduceus Kite Shield You should try it though, I wasn't super impressed when I watched gameplay footage of it, but I bought it anyway because of the hype and I'm glad I did because I enjoyed it far more than what I expected and saw on UA-cam.
Shame on those people for liking this very well made game /s
Caduceus Kite Shield
You seem to be interpreting 'low' as a synonym for 'different'.
