@@tetrawaffle337 Dream wielder is a percent. it's only allowed now because it's something you get on the journey to awakened dream nail, so it can't be avoided. If it was easier to get it would also no longer be mandatory and the run would have to go without it.
@@tegxi Yes, it is on the way to getting it, but that's not how it's decided. It's only allowed because people haven't submitted a run that hasn't used it. If someone dared to use the bad odds, the required percentage for low% would go down and it'd supercede all current runs + increase the length of the run significantly. The real pain begins when someone gets dream luck without using it, and now it's required to not use it AND get lucky.
@@noragilman2643 But it's different because it's literally impossible to submit a run (that follows the NMG rules) that doesn't get the percent for Dream Wielder. It's not just that no one has "dared" yet
I remember when the guay skip was found in OoT for a low% strat. Hours of guay hovering where missing a single one within those hours, would cost you to start over. And it's random how many you need, and you can't see if it's good enough, so you have to gamble how long you want to do it vs. how safe you want to be. Low% runs are truly cursed.
@TaismoFanBoy yep, TP low% is famous for its rupee slide skips. Fun fact, they've figured out how to make them much faster, so the run is now only 14-15 hrs iirc
For Skurry to go from 506 essence to 1800 essence grinding bees with Dream Wielder equipped, they took from the start of their grind at 1:44:17 in their run (23:01 in the video) to the end of their grind at 49:28:57 in their run (26:23 in the video), that's a duration of 47:44:40 to grind 1294 essence with a 1 in 200 chance for each. So that's approximately 258,800 enemies in 171,880 seconds, which is a rate of about 1.5 bees per second on average, or around 2 minutes and 13 seconds per essence on average. Also shoutouts to mechanical_snail, Fighter1st, and astromayonnaise in the chat for recommending buck bumble first stream!
Dead lord. Like, at that point just set a macro and walk away or something. That really should be allowed. Doing that for that long can't be good for your anything.
You know, I think this'd be an interesting GDQ run if you did it with "perfect" RNG on the bees to skip the grind. The tricks involved with the platforming and working around missing wings in White Palace make it pretty snazzy.
Imagine a guy was doing a low% run before stallball was discovered and while he was grinding for his last essence he checked the internet and saw his run is no longer low%
Throwing out some numbers: Skurry started their grind getting the 507th essence at 1:44:30 and ending at their 1800th at 49:29:00, making their average 1 essence per 2 minutes 24 seconds! Sadly this does still mean that killing Marissa's ghost is a time save 😭👻🎶 ((47×60)+44.5)÷1193=2.40 minutes/essence
I was actually the person, who posted the Buck Bumble music, and seeing it become a meme through the streams was one of the most fun and wholesome events of this run :3 :]
Low% TE is now based around bees, it might be a bit of a downgrade compared to killing birds in Greenpath (the best location), but it’s nice to see bees get some sort of mention in popular Hollow knight speed run categories.
@@crowwithashortcake Idk if anyone's done the math for the average amount of time per essence on Skurry's old 26% TE run with Birds, but on this 23% TE run it was an average of 2 minutes and 13 seconds per essence with Bees

@@bluefireblood666 Yes but you called them "low% speedrun videos". Skurry's first Low% TE video resulted in an annoying number of people who honestly thought "Low%" referred to this meme run even though Low% is a completely different category (about which Skurry actually also made a video), hence my plea to not omit the "TE".
@@MatthijsvanDuin You know, I was originally just going to put 'speedrun' but then thought nah, I should be more descriptive even if it messes with the flow of the joke. Wording is very important when it comes to a joke's flow. I'll be honest, the wording in your plead kind of annoyed me. It came off as pushy and tired, like you disdain my very existence (or at least, my comment's existence.) People get defensive when pushed and I was guilty of that last night. I'm sorry for that. If I may make a suggestion if someone else makes the same mistake I made? Use kinder wording. Something like, "Hey, could you say low% TE instead of just low%? When you use that term it undermines the hard work of grinding for essence that goes with the low% True Ending." Or something akin to that anyways. I mean, I assume that's why it annoyed you. I can't know for sure unless you tell me, but that's none of my business. You're your own thoughts and feelings and I'm not a therapist.
@@bluefireblood666 No disdain was intended certainly, it was meant as nothing more than what I wrote: a kind request to please not confuse the two (by calling low% TE just "low%") since they're just completely different things. My concern is the reverse of what you're suggesting: low% TE is a silly multi-day meme run that's almost pure RNG, while low% is a main speedrun category on the leaderboards.
14:38 fun fact, thanks to this video, I found the dream tree in the ancestral mound that I somehow hadn't ever heard of before. I opened up my 300+ hour save file that I hadn't opened in MONTHS just to confirm I hadn't gotten it, and lo and behold,,,, I hadn't. so thanks skurry!
Hadn't played or watched Hollow Knight in a while - What kind of insanity is that :o I'm so impressed that you (rself + other speedrunners and community) have pushed the game so far and discovered all of these incredible exploits and barely achievable platforming skips, congratz!!
Fun fact, low% TE dropless is a real category that has been run before! And with the discovery of slopeball it no longer forces skipping VS (in one of three very cursed ways), so it may not even be _too_ horrible to run - probably ending up around 28%

23:04 masterpiece
Absolutely
i love you for using the buck bumble track while farming essence. brought me way back.
I have an interesting idea for a % that I've had for months... Lumifly% ... So pretty much you have to free all of the Lumifly's out of the light bulb things. But one thing is how to track if you got them all...😀 It would be a cool speedrun!!
I can't wait to see the bee funeral thing edited
edit: this entire video was so amazing wow, it was worth the wait
Referring Anakin Skywalker that guy I feel like was some kind of attack. Really enjoying this speedrun and the edit is very good. Hope you are having a nice week
I was gonna make a joke that I can't wait to see the full 40+ hour run of this uploaded on your vods channel but then I looked and saw Skurry actually did it; madness! 😂😂
You did amazing on the vid Skurry! It was amazing to watch the vods back and the end was just SO hype, this video just made it even more enjoyable
I was confused why this video was recommended when I finished listening to Buck Bumble, then I got like 20 minutes in
Amazing editing on the grind segment!!
I thought I was going crazy seeing this, but here we are going through hell again. Thank you skurry
Skurry's hellos at the beginning of their streams are very cute and make me happy c:
white palace was so hard for me i thought i was already in path of pain, i hope i never accidentally stumble into path of pain i will be trapped there until the end of time
path of pain is pretty hard to stumble into accidentally 😅
@@sophiaz2982 dude im stupid i will find a way
@@temp3608 then to make extra sure, you can watch a clear video :) the speedrun is fascinating as well, fireborn recently did a video on that
there are no benches inside the path of pain, so you can't be permanently trapped lol
6:34 “and now we mash for awhile”
Think before you say lmao
Congratulations! You've birthed two beautiful low% te speedrun videos using the Birds™ and the Bees™!
edit: dang it, people already made the birds and the bees joke. I was proud of this one, too! ah well
Please don't confuse Low% TE with Low%. plain low% is a sub-1hour run that doesn't involve any essence.
@@MatthijsvanDuin What... does that have to do with my joke? I thought it was obvious that I referencing this video and the previous one
@@bluefireblood666 Yes but you called them "low% speedrun videos". Skurry's first Low% TE video resulted in an annoying number of people who honestly thought "Low%" referred to this meme run even though Low% is a completely different category (about which Skurry actually also made a video), hence my plea to not omit the "TE".
@@MatthijsvanDuin You know, I was originally just going to put 'speedrun' but then thought nah, I should be more descriptive even if it messes with the flow of the joke. Wording is very important when it comes to a joke's flow.
I'll be honest, the wording in your plead kind of annoyed me. It came off as pushy and tired, like you disdain my very existence (or at least, my comment's existence.) People get defensive when pushed and I was guilty of that last night. I'm sorry for that. If I may make a suggestion if someone else makes the same mistake I made? Use kinder wording. Something like, "Hey, could you say low% TE instead of just low%? When you use that term it undermines the hard work of grinding for essence that goes with the low% True Ending." Or something akin to that anyways.
I mean, I assume that's why it annoyed you. I can't know for sure unless you tell me, but that's none of my business. You're your own thoughts and feelings and I'm not a therapist.
@@bluefireblood666 No disdain was intended certainly, it was meant as nothing more than what I wrote: a kind request to please not confuse the two (by calling low% TE just "low%") since they're just completely different things.
My concern is the reverse of what you're suggesting: low% TE is a silly multi-day meme run that's almost pure RNG, while low% is a main speedrun category on the leaderboards.
I just noticed that all apostrophes in chat messages got turned into ' and now I cant stop seeing it
I'm so glad Skurry introduced more people to the Buck Bumble theme
this was so much fun!!!! and i LOVED the editing of this one - not sure if it was skurry or vord but it was amazingly done!!!!!
Props for actually putting yourself through this
14:38 fun fact, thanks to this video, I found the dream tree in the ancestral mound that I somehow hadn't ever heard of before. I opened up my 300+ hour save file that I hadn't opened in MONTHS just to confirm I hadn't gotten it, and lo and behold,,,, I hadn't. so thanks skurry!
this is great to watch while i’m recovering from wisdom teeth removal ❤ thanks skurr!
My condolences, I had mine out about a month ago and it sucked
thanks, i literally got them out this morning lmao
hopefully you feel better soon. i had mine removed a few years back, and it was awful.
tooth extraction gang
just got 8 of my teeth yoinked out too and am binging hollow knight videos the whole day
@@toriitlog ooof that rough. i hope your recovery goes smoothly
Hadn't played or watched Hollow Knight in a while - What kind of insanity is that :o I'm so impressed that you (rself + other speedrunners and community) have pushed the game so far and discovered all of these incredible exploits and barely achievable platforming skips, congratz!!
My heart was racin so hard at the radiance climb omg
13:30 chat be like “first try!!!” but we know it’s not lol
when's the vod lol
I like just how chill your stuff is, quieter and calmer.
How to make a nightmare into an even bigger nightmare:
What a terrible person you are man, getfixedboi
You make amazing content and from the first time I saw it I've been invested so keep on rolling on :D.
Skurry, I think you should try low te grindless. Could be a fun twist on the category and less time consuming
Fun fact, low% TE dropless is a real category that has been run before!
And with the discovery of slopeball it no longer forces skipping VS (in one of three very cursed ways), so it may not even be _too_ horrible to run - probably ending up around 28%
This was all worth it for the montage of synchronized headbanging bees.
Brilliant run skurr. Does anyone know if they took a break to sleep at any point or if they were going for 50 hours straight lol?

The grind about 23 minutes in turns this from a fairly interesting run to one of the greatest videos on UA-cam.
