Can’t even say how happy I am to see you getting into it brother trust me once you get more mobility the exploration is so satisfying and the story is so good this is a masterpiece of a game

@@Thatguy-cc4pr same lmao i originally had it through library sharing with an old friend, tried it out and was ass, which turned me away, but after watching some skurry vids i decided to try it out again, pirated it at first since i was no longer friends with the person i shared libraries with, but once i had the money i bought the game best purchase i've ever made.
@@astralluna16same lmao first time I bought the game I hated it, wasn't even interested in it the slightest (didn't even make it to the first boss) but after awhile I started to liek it. By the end I loved it. The exploration and everything in the game is insane
I hope Zanny keeps playing Hollow Knight. I feel like there's a high chance that Zanny ends up absolutely adoring this game. I would recommend not relying TOO much on chat, since you'll do better if you just explore the world on your own imo, and it'll be more satisfying that way as well. This is a Metroidvania Zanny, you kind of WANT to go off the beaten path. That's how these games are meant to be played. Don't rush through it too much.
Please keep them coming, this game is awesome. Early stage is pretty tough because of the few benches and almost no abilitys, but sticking it out rewarded me with one of the best gaming experiences Ive ever had, and I dont even like metroidvania games.
@@B1POL4Rgaming mostly Dota2 and Monster Hunter, but Elden Ring became my favorite game this year and Hollow Knight was for some reason recommended to me because of Elden RIng. The exploration, the intricite and mystical story and quests, the bossfights, the music (!!!!!), the growth of your own skills as you get better and understand the game more and more, all of these elements can be found in both games alike, this is why Hollow Knight as a first time experience now stands right beside Elden Ring in my personal ranking, followed by Sekiro and Lies of P, and Dishonored 1+DLC, also one of my favs even though its a completely different game.
This is both entertaining and painful to watch lmaaooo Seeing zanny walking back from that wall spike made me do the Vader "NOOOOOOOOOOOOOooooo" meme irl
I'm very happy he didn't just stop playing after false knight, I know a lot of people who did that. After the next 2 biomes the really good part starts
I'm always here for a new Hollow Knight play through being recommended to me and I'm here for it. Loving the energy. Take your time with this masterpiece. It'll reward you for it.
Zanny go as far right down in dirtmouth as you can get. After defeating a boss you'll get: A shop at right side sells mask fragments(health), vessel fragments(soul space) and some charms A shop at left side that sells 6ish charms and 4 notches(spaces for using charms,the circles that go from light grey to jesus white light)
HK was like Dark Souls for me in the sense that I was moderately intrigued at first, but after a playing it for some hours, things just clicked and it became one of my favorite games
Genuinely one of if not the best metroidvanias, really hope Zanny goes through the game to its fullest, some of the DLC stuff are harder than any of the souls games (or video games in general really) in my experience but its one of the best experiences I've had in gaming.
aside from the 5th pantheon there is nothing too hard lol. nkg, pure vessel and 4th pantheon arent THAT hard, even any souls game gave me more trouble and I played hk way before any souls shit
One thing that is important to learn in hollow knight is spells are stupid strong you can deal like 500 damage with one spell I think, might be less though a maxed upgraded nail deal somewhere between 20 and 40 damage, I forgot the number 19:23 if you want a lore video mossbag has a lore videos but I suggest not to look at any hollow knight lore or any video of it because this game is best when going in blind
This man fought and won against every boss in the souls like series but can’t fight a bug that only has 3 moves in her attack pattern. I know this is his first time playing this game but he beat Sekiro and Elden Ring
To progress in the game you should go for the mantis claw which can make you wall jump to get there go to the bottom of the big room where you first got in tot the green area (greenpath) go down in the next room go to the bottom right then in the next room go down to the left in this area theres only one path to follow and that will lead you further down youll enter the fungal wastes and its a big room that lead you down hug the right wall a bit before you hit the bottom there should me a hallway with a bench after that go down and explore the place until you find a place called mantis village where you will find the mantis claws
you just stand in front of the guys with the shields for half a second and they attack, you can poke at them and run before their attack animation finishes
One thing to note about the boss run backs, some of them are easy if you explore the area before the boss so you can make a shortcut. Other than that the run backs aren’t bad at all
if you jump you can attack downward in mid air and you can pogo off enemies and spikes and most obstacles but not the thorn vined you find the the green path
You can "Pogo" off the spikes and most "Visible" spikey death zones This may or may not include: Explosions Yourself The power of the sun in the palm of the milfs hands a fuckn corpse Spikes more spikes Spikey spikes fire and slash attacks Most importantly The Child.
Zanny constantly getting the tiniest bit of confidence before self-sabotaging is the funniest thing
It's such a common trope among let's players and streamers
@@chikasnotmadjustdisappoint6266sometimes I believe they do it on purpose for context reasons

@@ghostlyswat12I highly doubt Zanny is failing on purpose to seem funny. In fact no content creator I have ever watched has given me those vibes lol

“The Arin Hanson effect”
"F4 for the map" and Zanny looking for it on his controller is the type of comedy I'm here for
one of those things that makes live-streams just so much fun lol
Wait. Massive insects...oppressive darkness...overgrown and horrific plantlife...massive acid pools...deadly contagious diseases...
Could this be Brazil?
Or deep rock 🤨
I mean to be fair Brazil is just Deep Rock on steroids
I was thinking deep rock
“We should do more” said the liar
Learning the downward attack is unironically a huge development. But Zanny will soon learn that the Hollow Knight’s true challenges aren’t the enemies
Path of pain 💀
The Pogo path
The true enemy is the friends we made along the way
Tell that to the fucking primal aspids. The Greatest enemy, the little knight has to fight. Even stronger then the goddess herself
P5 enough said
Chat is the real bossfight of the Hollow Knight ig
for real. Every time someone streams this game there's a massive amount of backseaters. Blind is the best way to experience the game but for a streamer whatever works I guess
Glad to see Zandril is enjoying Hollow Knight
is he tho?
I think he is.

I loved it too but i prefered ori and the will of the wisps much more because of game feel.
The absolute best part of zanny playing hollow knight is that he might find new songs for the main channel vids
I find it so funny that Zanny randomly just guessed right about Hornet being the knight’s sister
She’s not tho
@@inigogreenall764Says the liar
@@inigogreenall764 she is

I really wish I could catch these live, but I'm very excited nonetheless to witness your journey in Hallownest
Zanny is gonna love absolute radiance. If he thinks hornet is one of the hardest bosses.
Your Hollow Knight playthroughs are the best I’ve seen this year, can’t wait to see the rest of your journey!
HELLOOOOO
Hell. Yes. I have dreamed of the moment when the zan man returns to hollow knight, I hope he enjoys the game as much as I did
I love watching zanny playing Hollow Knight, I wanted to see this for so long
zanny pls dont stop playing this we'll backseat all you want 😭

Zanny saying "growth, growth, character arc" then immediately falling in acid sums up every person's first Hollow Night run
This is both entertaining and painful to watch lmaaooo
Seeing zanny walking back from that wall spike made me do the Vader "NOOOOOOOOOOOOOooooo" meme irl
I'm very happy he didn't just stop playing after false knight, I know a lot of people who did that. After the next 2 biomes the really good part starts
Hello, Zanny thanks for top tier content as always!
“We will play hollow knight more often”. Chooses to play a whole game series before playing hollow knight again
I'm always here for a new Hollow Knight play through being recommended to me and I'm here for it. Loving the energy. Take your time with this masterpiece. It'll reward you for it.
love this game too. I've been playing for four years now, and im glad to see that zanny is finally doing it.
Imagine if Zanny learnt how to pogo spikes and went through that spikes chamber at 2:57. Man isn't ready, I tell u.
14:05 ZANNY THE ENTIRE AREA IS GREEN
My happiness is at an all time high because of this
poor zanny fighting the game and the chat at the same time
"Its this! this is the dash!" I love this guy for this and Darth Maul.
Still waiting for more hollow knight 😭
Zanny go as far right down in dirtmouth as you can get.
After defeating a boss you'll get:
A shop at right side sells mask fragments(health), vessel fragments(soul space) and some charms
A shop at left side that sells 6ish charms and 4 notches(spaces for using charms,the circles that go from light grey to jesus white light)
5:14 Character growth and character ungrowth. Balanced, as all things should be.
genuinely made me cackle watching you fight the moss knight and charger
Please consider continuing this series on youtube, very enjoyable to watch
this and zannys witcher arc im so fucking happy
In the words of a great man, “MORE! GIVE ME MORE!”
its all uphill from here, and it gets faster.
HK was like Dark Souls for me in the sense that I was moderately intrigued at first, but after a playing it for some hours, things just clicked and it became one of my favorite games
Stoked for you to play this game. You're gonna crush it 🤘
Cant wait to see Zanny fight Radiance
Man I hope you enjoy this game I just beat it last year and it’s great watching you play it brings me so much joy
"I've seen you through the undergrowths, stalking me"
"SSSNIPERWOLF reference"
Bro 😂😂
Zanny wouls totally be the kind of guy to run away screaming from a baby duck
“The map says… WAAAAAH*” is the perfect summary of my experience with the game so far
Zanny truly was Hallowing in this game.😺
Genuinely one of if not the best metroidvanias, really hope Zanny goes through the game to its fullest, some of the DLC stuff are harder than any of the souls games (or video games in general really) in my experience but its one of the best experiences I've had in gaming.
ong bruh I still have ptsd from NKG
aside from the 5th pantheon there is nothing too hard lol. nkg, pure vessel and 4th pantheon arent THAT hard, even any souls game gave me more trouble and I played hk way before any souls shit
When you get into the movement of this game, you will have an awesome time playing it :) I hope you continue on
16:37 Because you shouldn't touch your sister
One thing that is important to learn in hollow knight is spells are stupid strong you can deal like 500 damage with one spell I think, might be less though a maxed upgraded nail deal somewhere between 20 and 40 damage, I forgot the number
19:23 if you want a lore video mossbag has a lore videos but I suggest not to look at any hollow knight lore or any video of it because this game is best when going in blind
ZZZZANNYYYY!!! DROP ANOTHER HOLLOW KNIGHT VIDEO, AND MY LIFE… IS YOURS!
"go in the green area" DUDE IT'S ALL GREEN
zanny: please tell me stuff, im ok with backseating, i can just ignore it if i want to
chat: doesn't tell him about pogo-ing
“Hornet is one of the hardest bosses in the game right?” Cries in Nightmare King Grimm…
I was actually cheering for him when he stomped Moss Knight... It was very exciting watching zanny play this
Zanny is starting to believe 💊
“OH SHIT IT’S THE FUCKING THING AGAIN!”
*screaming*
Relatable.
This man fought and won against every boss in the souls like series but can’t fight a bug that only has 3 moves in her attack pattern. I know this is his first time playing this game but he beat Sekiro and Elden Ring
Did I hear lore video? Mossbag the UA-camr is great for hollownight lore vids
3:06 This is btw the best game design trick ever
We are the true zanny fans, 1 of 140,000 we are, followers of all three channels. If you see this my friends you are true warriors.
the man killed nameless king in a few tries then proceeds to be humiliated by a common enemy from HK
something else is up the moment Hornet came in
"I always value backseating"
Also, threatens to erase your lineage if you give it during a boss fight
This video is all I could have hoped for.
Zanny unironically doing almost everything wrong except for leaving Zote to Vengefly
16:08 another knight is dead and vines are protruding from its head in front of them… is the name hornet or something?
Mossbag will offer guidance in lore
“This is the hardest boss in the game right?”
Oh you sweet summer child
Cannot wait for that patheon 5 run in steelsoul mode from Zanny 🙏
Don't... Do NOT give me more Nightmares!
Keep Hollow Knight going 🙏🏻
Zanny:first time midir and completed elden ring journy 4
Also zanny:nah this bug game is too hard man
3:02 wall jumping… be prepared for -torture- ‘fun.’
To progress in the game you should go for the mantis claw which can make you wall jump to get there go to the bottom of the big room where you first got in tot the green area (greenpath) go down in the next room go to the bottom right then in the next room go down to the left in this area theres only one path to follow and that will lead you further down youll enter the fungal wastes and its a big room that lead you down hug the right wall a bit before you hit the bottom there should me a hallway with a bench after that go down and explore the place until you find a place called mantis village where you will find the mantis claws
Can’t wait for more Hollow Knight!
My guy started screamint from a baldur
The Greenpath music is so good.
You can bounce off of enemies and spikes by doing a down attack, which you need to be in air to do
Hollow knight quickly became one of my favorites, it's just got that charm that makes you wanna play more
you just stand in front of the guys with the shields for half a second and they attack, you can poke at them and run before their attack animation finishes
One thing to note about the boss run backs, some of them are easy if you explore the area before the boss so you can make a shortcut.
Other than that the run backs aren’t bad at all
There's so much "YES... NOOOOO!"
HOLLOW KNIGHT!?
The music in Hollow Knight is so good
Oh, I miss the time where I didn't know this game existed. I wish I could play again
Said the liar
Yo, the masterpiece is starting to click! Zanny, my tripleA Andy, is starting to get converted?
Glad to see that mimicking silk is common.
if you jump you can attack downward in mid air and you can pogo off enemies and spikes and most obstacles but not the thorn vined you find the the green path
Hollow Knight is starting to click *leaves for 6 months*
Thank you zanny for making my smile😊😊😊
this is the first time i’ve seen zany be bad at a video game lmao you love to see it
Thanks to this video zanny, I convinced my friend to pick up hollow knight again
Thank you
Super hyped for this series!
Bro went to Greenpath without buying the quill. Chat failed Zanny on this one
You can "Pogo" off the spikes and most "Visible" spikey death zones
This may or may not include:
Explosions
Yourself
The power of the sun in the palm of the milfs hands
a fuckn corpse
Spikes
more spikes
Spikey spikes
fire
and slash attacks
Most importantly
The Child.
bro as soon as i saw this title i did a little mario jump i stg!!!! Thats the biggest dopamine rush ive had in months
