You might not have noticed it yet, but whenever you find pieces of paper on the ground, Cornifer is near. Not sure if he loses or discards these pages, but he literally leaves a paper trail which is visible even when one is not close enough to hear Cornifer's signature humming. I find this to be such a nice touch.
Love this series man. Hope you are loving the game as much as I did - The music and atmosphere are second to none - and you have so many cool areas coming up.
@Mati Would love to see you tackle more Metroidvanias after this if you're enjoying the genre. Ori and the Blind Forest/Will of the Wisps are good ones, as are Blasphemous, Bloodstained, Ender Lilies, and F.I.S.T., among many others. Idk if you have a Switch, but Metroid Prime Remastered just came out on that, and they also have Metroid games on the Switch Online library, and there's also the fantastic Metroid Dread!
@@matiasgago believe me you will need all the help you can get. Upgrading your weapon and health. You will need this, the game gets way more challenging along the way.
Yoo! new ep! i honestly cant thank you enough for this series my man, its what keeps me goin! watching this really makes me wanna do a _5th_ playthrough of this amazing game!
i also cant wait for you to do a lore reaction vid when the series ends, this games lore is so deep and so amazing to the finest little details, its also very tragic but i wont spoil! 👍
Dude, I am loving how much you are loving this game! And I love the chill vibes of this channel. Ps. Don't forget to read the Hunter's Journal if you want to learn more about the enemies and bosses. If you're worried that reading a bunch of stuff would be boring to the viewers, don't be. Can't speak for everyone but I think most of us would love to see you delve into the lore.
Hey, so... DO NOT listen to the comments telling you where to go. From the moment you got the Mantis Claw, the game is wide open. There are tons of places you can go to, and while there is more or less an "intended" order, you can do whatever you want. You wanna go to Deepnest? just go. You'll die a bunch, probably, but you can always head back if you want to.
@@matiasgago May I introduce you to this version: ua-cam.com/video/k-BswU3trrY/v-deo.html which doesn't have the (albeit beautiful) piano melody over it. I dont think you can hear this version in the game but it sounds gorgeous in my opinion. 3:23 is just absolutely magical, and has so much weight to it especially when you know the tragic fate of Hallownest
Glad you’re enjoying the game so much man! It’s defs my fave Metroidvania! Put like 100 hours into my first playthrough Kuz I just kept backtracking through the whole game for no other reason than it just being fun and mesmerizing to trek through the world. Can’t frickin’ wait for the sequel!
I discovered your channel when you played your very first fromsoft game. Every now and then I watch your video while cooking and I must admit I love the grind. You really trying to put your content out there and I hope you find the success you deserve
I hope you will love this game as much as I do and beat it to 112% then you will know everything it has to offer. And there is a lot of it, it is beautiful, demanding, it is memorable. Great series.
Hollow Knight is such an awesome game, stoked to see you play through it. I really hope you'll go through the Grimm Troupe content eventually, it has what's easily one of my favourite bosses in the game.
Really love how you read through things and try to make connections and stuff. I’d love to hear what you think happened to hollow nest once you finish the game
Seeing a new upload: yessss Hearing you’ll be continuing: YES Watching you pogo on enemies: YESSSSSSSSS Seriously seeing new players learn to pogo on enemies in Hollow Knight is such a joy. XD
You playing this got me motivated to play on my hollow knight save file and actually finish the game. I replayed dark souls 1 along with you too haha. Idk why but it's fun playing along.
Hey, mati! I don't know if you've heard of the game shadow of the colossus, but I know that you will love that game, and I really suggest you play it on the channel sometime
It was very ironic that you said "I feel like I'm gonna cry at this game at some point" as I was starting to get emotional watching you play it haha. This game has the best mood/tone of any game I've played
I recommend reading the journal and reading the item description that includes when you upgrade the sword/nail because this game has lore hidden in item description like with darksouls Also some charms gain bonus effects from using other charms together like making builds but instead of armor and accessories its charms for example long nail and mark of pride makes your sword attacks have massive reach when you have both at the same time
Love that you're enjoying the game ☺️ As for the relics, you can sell them to Lemm. He gives you lore for each piece and geo. Hording them is also a good way to save Geo since you can sell them whenever you want without losing em
Great vidd matiii! Couple of things. You can sell journels, seals and such at relic seeker lem for geo. Their purpose is to be sold to them. second, you can pogo the spikes in city of tears or any spikes anywhere else. Third, you don't take fall damage in this game.
When you said “this game isn’t going anywhere, so don’t worry guys!” I was SO freaking happy!!! 😍 thank you!! Also I try to never give advice on a game, but I must say I was shocked you overlooked the Gathering Swarm charm that Sly sells!! Not having to pick up your geo?! Priceless!
I added the City of tears OST to my playlist alongside some Nier automata and Final fantasy soundtrack and never looked back lmao. Such a relaxing track.
nice episode dude! love it. I would recommend getting the gathering swarm from the shop in dirtmuth, it will make collecting geo that much easier for you! believe me
On your grind, dude! Great stuff. I watched a lore video about this game for fun last night and holy cow are we in for a wild ride 😂. But yeah, this area was a whole vibe. The rain, the piano music, so good all around!
Mati sweatting for his Geo after death and still being like "Did we check here, though?" and wandering off seeking new places to get quickly killed... (Darn, my heart can't take this playthrough...)
Hey Mati. Just love your content and commentary. This game is great and it’s cool to see you play it. You might also like the Ori games if you ever get the chance to play them. They’re ALOT like Hollow knight . Keep up the good work 🤜🤛
Basically when you read the memorial The symbol was added to your map indicating where the Hollow knight sacrificed is It's also a bit of a plot twist since the player could assume that you are THE Hollow Knight But actually you are not
10:45 idk if anyone told you this but these fragile charms, as the name suggests, are gonna shatter when you die theres a way to make them not shatter when you die later in the game, so id recommend you not equip those until you get to that point
On my first playthrough I bought Fragile Greed, equipped it and it took a little while for me to realize that it was broken. Then I found out something else about it, then with another I thought I lost forever until I worked on a task in which I didn't know what I was doing at the time, until I realized what I got which is how I found out how to not make them shatter. Sometimes with blind playthroughs, it's great seeing them find out things for themselves through trial and error like how most of us do.
Thank you man! I actually painted it myself over quarantine haha it’s 2 birds on a power line looking over an empty city ^_^ I’ll give you a closer look when we start streaming
@@matiasgago Honestly I wouldnt bother grinding, you'll get 1800 soon enough going around exploring areas like the city. The collectibles really are just meant to be sold, no other purpose so they're definitely good to hold onto until you have a reason to sell them. Another tip is that you can stand to the right of shopkeeps to talk to them. Left is shop right is listen.
I wouldn’t say Deepnest is difficult myself but definitely up there with the jumpscares(ish) but since you are new to the game get some upgrades before venturing into Deepnest
I played this on Xbox game pass and was at the final boss but my subscription lapsed… Your playthrough makes me wanna start from scratch and play it again! ❤
There’s an npc you can unlock that will seem very strange but the purpose is if your shade is inaccessible or very far she’ll reunite you with it but she’s only in one area
I know Im bad with faces but every single episode i swear you look like a different person xD I always wonder for a couple seconds if i have the right video, but then voice recognition quicks in... XDDDD
Mati you can bounce on things if you hit downwards. This is some elite player stuff. Just kidding, but I think it's kinda advanced, and useful. Movement can get pretty high level in HK!
Oh yea now you're getting into the real Hollow Knight experience, just not in difficulty quite yet, keep this quick progress up and you're going to be saying many other things about the game, just not positive ones for sure. By the way the mask shard you found in Sly's shop is THE best deal you will ever make in terms of geo, collecting 4 of them will permanently increase your masks (hp) by one, the soul vessels work similarly. And as regards your thanks to my request, you are so welcome! I knew you would love this game before you even started bloodborne and my thought paid off!
Hehehaha you should return to the grub father also right next to the stag station to city of tears there is alift might wanna check it out. you can go back to dirtmouth and behind the well
btw Gathering swarm the charm sly sells auto picks up Geo for you so you never lose / miss any that and the compass are basically a always wear. Also any time you get a new ability (dash / wall jump) you should go back and check older areas mightbe some stuff that was not accessible before...... omg i keep editting this comment the more i watch it, you dont need the seals or any of those items for anything other than selling for geo :)
Someone else made the comment before, but if you're loving the Metroidvania style games like this, and haven't played once since the olden nintendo days then I highly recommend you play Metroid Dread(AKA Metroid 5). It's the latest of the Metroid franchise that follows the original storyline too from way back in the day(Not the Metroid Prime games). I think you'd love it, but it's on The Switch
There is this mechanic about the nail where you can hit enemies through the wall is thin enough. And if you down slash and enemy you will gain a bit of height and can reset the dash and other abilities
You might not have noticed it yet, but whenever you find pieces of paper on the ground, Cornifer is near. Not sure if he loses or discards these pages, but he literally leaves a paper trail which is visible even when one is not close enough to hear Cornifer's signature humming. I find this to be such a nice touch.
I love watching newcomers fall in love with this game. It's truly a work of art.
I usually don't watch gameplays of games I already finished, but Mati you're very charismatic! It's been nice reliving this masterpiece of a game.
Love this series man. Hope you are loving the game as much as I did - The music and atmosphere are second to none - and you have so many cool areas coming up.
Loving it so much bro I’ve never experienced a game like this before

@@lucasverde8817 Yeah I would love to watch Mati play the Ori games and Metroid Prime and Dread!
@@lucasverde8817 Ender Lillies is one of my favourites. Salt and sanctuary is really good to. 👍
I legit teared up the first time i walked in the city of tears, unreal vibes
7:20 I respect that, the suffering is part of the charm
you get me bro
@@matiasgago believe me you will need all the help you can get. Upgrading your weapon and health. You will need this, the game gets way more challenging along the way.
Love the episode, as usual! I'm glad you met millibelle, the bank is very useful, makes me wish fromsoft games had something like it :)
Man, the amount of times the bank saved me from having to start collecting all over again
Yoo! new ep! i honestly cant thank you enough for this series my man, its what keeps me goin! watching this really makes me wanna do a _5th_ playthrough of this amazing game!
Man you’re so welcome! This game is so fucking awesome Im so thankful for y’all recommending it lol you so should:D

"Am I ever gonna get good at this game?"
Me in the WP & PoP: "Nope, you're not"
💀
Pantheon of hallownest:
yoo! ive just finished watching the previous episode! thx for releasing a new one so soon, ur videos are very chill and enjoyable
Perfect timing 😁 and you got it so happy to hear that
Dude, I am loving how much you are loving this game! And I love the chill vibes of this channel.
Ps. Don't forget to read the Hunter's Journal if you want to learn more about the enemies and bosses. If you're worried that reading a bunch of stuff would be boring to the viewers, don't be. Can't speak for everyone but I think most of us would love to see you delve into the lore.

One of my favorite areas in any game. ever. the OST is so fuckin amazing.
Man I couldn’t agree more I lost my shit in this area haha been listening to the ost all day lol

Entering the City of Tears for the first time is delightful. The atmosphere in this game is amazing through and through.
The power bar is just called just soul in general. The lore will explain it more.
Noice!
Nothing quite gives ambiance like this game! I listen to the music with ambient noises all the time while I draw if I’m hoping to focus.
So glad you are enjoying this game as much as you are!! One my all time favorites! It’ll amaze and challenge you all at the same time.
Today is the 6 year anniversary of Hollow Knight, so it was super exciting to see a new video!!
Silk Song any minute now...
Glad you’re enjoying the game so much man! It’s defs my fave Metroidvania! Put like 100 hours into my first playthrough Kuz I just kept backtracking through the whole game for no other reason than it just being fun and mesmerizing to trek through the world. Can’t frickin’ wait for the sequel!
I discovered your channel when you played your very first fromsoft game. Every now and then I watch your video while cooking and I must admit I love the grind. You really trying to put your content out there and I hope you find the success you deserve

And there is a lot of it, it is beautiful, demanding, it is memorable.
Great series.
Appreciate the dono kind human thank you! I'm absolutely loving this game so far
I recall the awe I felt getting to the city, the music and the rain on the glass. It's my favorite spot in the game, just beautiful.
Great playthrough, hope it blows up
Hollow Knight is such an awesome game, stoked to see you play through it. I really hope you'll go through the Grimm Troupe content eventually, it has what's easily one of my favourite bosses in the game.
Now I know wishes do come true! Back-to-back uploads, we are beyond blessed
😭 - tears of joy & gratitude - 💙
I appreciate the gratitude my man ❤️ I loved uploading everyday this week gonna aim for it as much as I can, have a great weekend!
Mmm, long.
Thanks for putting these out more regulary. Too good!
I gotchu C1 🫶🏽
First-time viewer here that's happy to find another blind HK playthrough! Looking forward to following your journey through Hallownest.
Had a blast my first playthrough, glad to see you are enjoying the game as well 👍
More Hollow Knight let's goo!!!
You know it!!
Really love how you read through things and try to make connections and stuff. I’d love to hear what you think happened to hollow nest once you finish the game
Seeing a new upload: yessss
Hearing you’ll be continuing: YES
Watching you pogo on enemies: YESSSSSSSSS
Seriously seeing new players learn to pogo on enemies in Hollow Knight is such a joy. XD
I'm loving this series, man. Told you, you were gonna fall in love with this game. There aren't many gaming experiences like this one.
City of Tears has some of the best vibes.
I like the hat and glasses combo looks cool
Ty Patti trying to keep that head extra warm 😮💨
This series has been a blast so far
You playing this got me motivated to play on my hollow knight save file and actually finish the game. I replayed dark souls 1 along with you too haha. Idk why but it's fun playing along.
Hey, mati! I don't know if you've heard of the
game shadow of the colossus, but I know that
you will love that game, and I really suggest you
play it on the channel sometime
I’ve heard nothing but amazing things I’ll definitely add it to the roster thank you!
@matiasgago, yup, sotc is probably my 3rd favorite game of all time
Yes! That one and Ico are just great game experiences.
Watching you fall in love with this game is such a beautiful experience! City of Tears is one of my favorite areas! Aside from the Soul Sanctum 😅
I'm hyped that you're playing the whole game! Also you should check the room again where you got the dashmaster charm
Bless your daily uploads mati, whenever i see you upload a new vid its a good day
I'm really enjoyin this vids man
This area's when the game really opens up. so many possibilities to write your own path.
Happy to hear man! You can really feel it here
This game deserves to be played till the end. I've probably said it before but it gets mental towards the end.
It was very ironic that you said "I feel like I'm gonna cry at this game at some point" as I was starting to get emotional watching you play it haha. This game has the best mood/tone of any game I've played
I was tearing a bit just before the said it. This game is made of mood.

You're free to sell all relics to Lemm they dont have any other use.
You can sell all the relics you get, that's their only use so don't worry about selling them whenever you need Geo.
Thanks for showing me this game I love it so much I found it from your channel 32:05
ive always loved that skateboard deck in your background. anywhere i could see a better pic of that? love the style!

Dang next time!
@@matiasgago and you can sell all the items to the guy 👦 in the city of tears. You don't need those items. The have no other purpose than sell them.
@@matiasgago I would advice to only buy them when you just need one more piece to complete a full mask. Save your geo for other things.

"I feel like I needed this game in my life"

*And Soon you'll need silksong too...*
Make sure you give the banker 4K geo. You won’t regret it.
started watching . have a gud day bruh. also u look very handsome
in this outfit😌
Appreciate you Anger have a great weekend 🫶🏽
There’s an npc you can unlock that will seem very strange but the purpose is if your shade is inaccessible or very far she’ll reunite you with it but she’s only in one area
That is awesome!!
If you don't mind losing geo, and if your shade is far away, you can always end yourself near a bench, and get your full meter right away.
If you dont wanna lose any geo, I would suggest buying gatthering swarm charm, I use it all the time. Love the series
Man my lunch is late today and my boy dropping hollow knight, TGIF lol, thank you Mati for the content
I know Im bad with faces but every single episode i swear you look like a different person xD
I always wonder for a couple seconds if i have the right video, but then voice recognition quicks in... XDDDD
Before you hear Cornifer, you will some times see a trail of papers laying on the floor.
Definitely try and open an account with Millibelle and reach the maximum deposit as soon as possible!
Dammit, I‘m not home yet and can‘t watch it until later 😢
Get home safe Jascha we’ll be here 😁

btw Gathering swarm the charm sly sells auto picks up Geo for you so you never lose / miss any that and the compass are basically a always wear.

Buy everything, Mati. Everything!
Black egg temple will be important later, it's just trying to remind you that it's super important :P
With your shade I believe the use of a rancid egg Will help a lot. Try it out and see if I am correct.
There is this mechanic about the nail where you can hit enemies through the wall is thin enough.
And if you down slash and enemy you will gain a bit of height and can reset the dash and other abilities
you can sell the stuff, that's its only use, though I'd recommend holding on to it until you need a geo boost
