Hollow knight is one of those games that everyone will have to experience for themselves. Its such a masterpiece that silk song will have a hard time topping it
Lol suffering from success it will be like Bioshock 2 a really good game but when compared to Bioshock 1 or infinite with are pretty amazing even when Bioshock 2 is great is surrendered by 2 other good games making it look bad
Ok, managing to find the time and dedication to 100% a bunch of hard games while actively managing a UA-cam channel at the same time is such a big flex that I feel like a weakling in comparison.
Bro I'm so hyped for fallout 74!!! Yo I'm from the future, sorry to tell you but its not good. I'm actually really hyped for a game called cyberpunk 2077, it's gonna be great! Hehe he, can't wait for silksong 😁🔫
The animation at the start is one of the best hollow knight animations I've ever seen. Great work! It ads a more cartoonish and colorful vibe to the game, while still keeping the more dark art style. I love this.
10:10 I agree 100%... I really, REALLY hope that sometime team cherry will do a DLC adding stuff to the Abyss. That area just feels like it needs (and deserves) some love, the atmosphere and ideas are so perfect, but no bosses and it's very linear... a shame that kickstarter goal was never met. I don't care if it's 10 years down the road, I don't care if its paid (team cherry please stop spoiling us), I just want at some point, a bit more of hollow knight. The void and ancient civilization are both aspects of the lore that feel like they have room to be fleshed out. And I'm not confident Silksong will do that (although its possible). At the end of the day I just want more places to explore in hollow knight.
They were planning to do more with the Abyss, even giving it an entire bossfight but they didn't get enough funds on their Kickstarter, so they had to scrap it.
@@onaschaturvedi1585 there was a backer goal to have bosses in the void sea, and there's an unused asset of an abyss bench- it was definitely meant to have more. I do like having vast empty spaces in it like the giant well down though, that definitely does add atmosphere
Useful in pantheons, absolutely not. In hall of gods, maybe. It’s more of a crutch if you can’t handle the balloons. If you can take care of them, the minuscule damage of the defenders crest make it a waste of a charm notch. If you use the strength-quickslash-shamansstone-longnail then you can instantly kill the balloons then move back to lost kin. And it also exceeds in absolutely murdering other bosses
ok...i can't imagine something like this, the amount of time you put into this is insane, hope you don't die from overworking Oh and love your animation, CybeR
This is definitely one of your best videos so far, just because of the fact you gave a SERIOUSLY IMPRESSIVE review to the game, without crossing the overly humorous mark that your videos usually convey. Fucking fantastic video.
I have this exact feeling for a year now and i have to say man it kind of depresses me to some extent. I know this sounds really fkn goofy but it true and i dont know how to cope with this feeling
"Silksong is right around the corner..." boy i sure hope so lmao as a huge fan of hollow knight, everythin you said in this video really clicked with me. Thank you for putting how I feel about the game in an elegant and well described way
Thank you for introducing me to Hollow Knight with this video 2 years ago Foekoe. It became my favourite game I have played so far and I'm currently waiting for Silksong to have a similar experience like I did with this game.
The amount of work you've put in this video is stunning. You haven't missed literally anything: the bosses, the art, even the little details. God, Hollow Knight is a masterpiece and this video nailed it. This was worth the wait, total banger
Honestly the intro is amazing, kudos to Cyber. Also, I have like 300 hours in this game total and never even noticed the collapsed structure at dirtmouth was a bridge lmao. (all bindings p5 is pain send help)
I just wanted to say thanks for making me buy this game. Your original video was the reason why I bought it in the first place and I'm honestly not sure if I would have bought it otherwise. It was not only a masterpiece of a game itself but also my gateway into other indie games as well. Without this game I'm really not sure who I would be today, and the fact that a 7 minute video on youtube made me buy it in the first place still amazes me. And now that your making another video on this game really means that you can give it justice. And CybeR making another animation for it too really excites me. I hope to see a lot of new people buying the game after this video comes out as well.
Hollow knight is a masterpiece of a game. I once one it from a give away, but sadly quickly put it down. Because I didn’t know where to go. After talking to a friend who completed it though I got the motivation to continue the game. And I’m glad I did. I loved it. And still do. The art is amazing, the music in the game is phenomenal and the game play is so satisfying. (Even when I die for the 10267th time) I haven’t gotten around to fully completing the pantheons (I got pretty far though, and I’ve completed a fair amount of bosses on radiant mode. Including for example nightmare king Grimm.) but I still love it a lot. Even when I know I probably will not be able to complete the pantheons anytime soon. But none the less. The game is gorgeous and generally wonderfull. And even if I won it from a give away, the price is so criminally low for how high quality the game is, even with the dlc included. It seems like something that you’d need to pay a good 30 bucks for. But no. It’s way cheaper. It’s so worth getting. And I’d highly suggest it too anyone. If you have the time, and the little amount of money needed. Get the damn game. It’s very very good. And I’m sure you will love it. If not for the great sound track and art then definitely for the gameplay itself. So basically what I’m saying, get the game already you Idio-
I don't get it. For me, it feels like this game was made for a small audience of extreme gamers and no one else. If you sre thinking about buying the game, only do it if you're very good at these sorts of games, otherwise, don't.
"Every Charm does something different" Longnail and Mark of pride? Soul Catcher and Soul Eater? Lifeblood Heart and Lifeblood Core? I'm just messing around though I get your point and it still stands.
this gives me nostalgia of when I first played the game. thank you for bringing back those memories of when I first picked it up from target. completing the game or even just bosses was reliving and satisfying after enduring their attack and spells. Grimm and Hornet 1 and 2 I had the struggle with the most. I couldn't keep up with their fast paced attacks. But after some time, I beat them. Defeating the Hollow Knight was the clearest memory I had at of the game. I had finally gotten the ending, but there was still more. Even though if you completed The ending there is way more up ahead. Such as Defeating optional bosses, unlocking more charms, and challenging the Pantheon. The replayability of this game is astounding to my little cave man brain. And even if you have completed everything I talked about earlier, there still is one more final boss. The Radiance. I had struggled the most of this particular boss and I even tried to get advice from some youtubers like CrankyTemplar when he was livestreaming. The feeling of when I beat the Radiance Was ecstatic. I no longer play Hollow Knight because I have done everything I can (except doing Pantheon 5 and 4). But because of this particular game I have more interest in the metroidvania genre. I do think this is an underrated game and I really do recommend it to people who haven't played. Once again, thank you for bringing back these memories. AND WHEN'S SILKSONG
I can’t thank you enough for pushing me to buy this game. I’ve always been interested in this game, but I remember you suggesting it before in a video, and that pushed me to buy it. And that changed my life forever. This game is not only my favorite game, but my favorite piece of art I’ve ever experienced. Everything about this game is absolutely breathtaking. The soundtrack made me feel every single emotion out there. This game truly was something special. And I highly recommend everyone to play this game. Team cherry is truly such an amazing indie developer and changed how I think about video games. So thank you foekoe for introducing me to this masterpiece of a game. And thank you team cherry for making this game.
If you are reading this comment and want to see what the reply thinks, too bad because you can consider this to be a copy paste of the comment. Hollow Knight is my favorite game of all time ever and it is absolutely worth the money. I would buy it for triple the cost on steam (it is free on gamepass)
It freaks the shit out of me, legit when i saw the reviving dead guys i wanted to close the game. Also the white worm dudes that turn in two scare the living fuck out of me
Ok, I think this is the best time to say that you are amazing. Your editing, your jokes, your videos en general are incredible. Im glad I found your channel. You are what made me get hollow knight, introducing me to the world of indie games, where I found my favourite games of all time: Don't Starve, terraria and the binding of Isaac. Im honestly surprised that you havent reached 1 million suscribers yet. Keep up the good work, man (Also, Im sorry I cant support you by buying your plushie. I live in Argentina and here, the amount of money that it costs is kinda hard to get and I prefer to expend it on other things)
Wow! Extremely well made video! I was quite a bit hesitant regarding buying this game, but I think I will! Congrats Foekoe, you made Team Cherry some money! (also I may or may not know everything now so uh)
Honestly hollow knight got me through lock down and well it also is the reason I taught myself to play the accordion and how I well spent time and it’s the first game I picked up extremely quickly and the community is just wonderful I don’t feel at all threatened and well the community is also kinda welcoming and it’s kinda funny how most of the bigger hollow knight creators know each other.
When I bought this game I had no prior knowledge on what to expect just 10 minutes of a guy on twitch doing the pantheons and that interested me to buy it and after finishing both the true ending boss and Grim this game was not only the game that brought back my love for video games but also was the door way into the world of indie games. This in my mind no matter what is a solid 10/10 and the only thing left to say is WHEN IS SILK SONG
I really agree with you. This game was my first game i ever played on PC, and this was so good. I'm so glad that the Hollow knight was first. Music, fighting, exploring and graphic - amazing masterpiece. I think Silksong is going to be my 2nd favorite game :D (Also sorry for mistakes, I dont speak English very well!)
I’ve only played hollow knight for half the time you have, and I honestly still suck at it. But finally beating the radiance’s head in after 25+ attempts was just so satisfying… and there’s still more game for me to play. Hollow knight is an experience everyone should have.
I remember it took me 49 attempts to beat p5 and when i kill absolute radiance i got off my gaming chair and started screaming , and my neigbors asked me "what the hell is goin on"
‘Elegy for hallownest’ is basically just a sumamrisation for the story up until that point. That someone created a kingdom, and something bad happened. Makes a lot more sense the second time you replay the game, so i think itd have been cool if you could read it in monomons archives.
when I started playing HK, I quit when I reached the false knight, but then when I went to live at my grandpa for the summer I had no internet and I fell in love with this game. The boss fights are fun, the exploration is interesting, there are a bunch of enemy types, VERY VERY VERY deep lore and much more. LOVE ITTTTTTTTTTTTT
This was an amazing video that summarised everything I love about Hollow Knight really really well, and honestly, the *only* thing I disagreed with in this video was that Pantheon 5 is a fair and good way to do a boss rush, because for me, it felt way too punishing and unenjoyable. Firstly, this one is more a personal thing, but I cannot just solely focus on one thing for too long without spacing out or getting distracted, so sometimes I would be at a crucial part halfway through the pantheon and I would just be unable to focus, leading me to die and having to reset due to something I can't even control. The whole resetting part is annoying too, because after the tenth time clearing out the first 20 bosses just got tedious, and the game became grating to play, which started to make me question if it was even worth playing. The worst thing, though, was that it started to make my overall perception of the game worse because I was just forcing myself to play it at that point, and I wasn't even enjoying it, I was just going through the motions over and over again. I wanted to beat it so much because it was the only trophy I needed to get the platinum trophy, (which is something you're awarded if you get all trophies on PS) and I still would love to beat it, it's just that I fear that if I do keep on trying to beat it, it'll cause me to view the game in a relatively negative light. I think a really good boss rush that has all of the bosses and some new variants is the Sekiro Gauntlets, because they allow you to fully heal and replenish your tools whenever you beat a boss, and you also move on whenever you're ready, so being distracted isn't punished too much and even if the overall task is really hard it's still relatively forgiving. Again, this was a brilliant video, and i'm sorry if I rambled too much, but I just wanted to get my thoughts out there.
THE BEGINNING ANIMATION OH MY GOD???!?!???!? THE TRANSITIONS?!?!?!?! I WAS REALLY IMPRESSED WITH THE TRANSITION FROM MANTIS LORDS TO HORNET, BUT THEM THAT TRANSITION FROM HORNET TO GRIMM HAD ME STRAIGHT ASCENDING. I FUCKING ADORE WHEN TRANSITIONS KEEP THE MOVEMENT OF THE LAST SCENE GOING, IVE BEEN TRYING TO ANIMATE (failing sadly, im built for singular drawings not multiple ones :[ ) AND IVE ALWAYS WANTED TO ANIMATE WITH MUSIC AND DO A BUNCH OF TRANSITIONS WHERE THE MOVEMENT OF THE PREVIOUS SCENE IS CONTINUED I THINK THATS COOL AS SHIT!!!!!
It's been over 2 years and I still haven't completed the 5th Pantheon, it's easily the hardest thing in any game I've played. Edit: After all this talk in the replies, I'll give it another shot.
5th pantheon is more an endurance test than a trial of mastery. After finishing it theres no way I'm ever going to bother do it with all bindings. Unless I have no sanity to lose.
@@unlimited8410 I think the intended strat is to practice the individual bosses in the hall of gods to the point where you're almost guaranteed to get it. Both of my friends to beat it got all bosses but 3-5 in radiant mode before trying. So in that sense, it's a challenge that motivates mastery.
@@iurigrang I mean yeah but I already knew all the bosses well enough to defeat them all one by one, the problem was just not messing up at the end after like an hour of doing the other bosses. Now that I think about it, the biggest hurdles was uumuu just becaue of how tiresome it was to wait to attack it. I think its mostly tilt that will stop people from finishing off the 5th pantheon. I remember defeating the pantheon the second time in one try after finishing it off for the first time for that other ending. Really I just think the 5th pantheon relies too much on its length than actual diffuculty so that it is 'difficult'. Same can be said for the third trial which in my opinion is even worse by throwing a whole boss at you with a very unusual attack pattern that'll take you a few tries to get and make you waste another hour just to fight it. And this time you can't even practice against it. Hopefully there won't be any marathons like these in Silksong, and if there are, at least make them much more rewarding.
I agree with everything said except for pantheon 5. I did indeed beat it, but the impressive and substantial amount of language directed at Absrad was a sign of my undying hatred for that moth piece of shit
Ever since I played hollow knight, it has become my favorite game I've ever played. So much so that I got a Kingsbrand tat on the Hames 3rd birthday. The atmosphere, the combat, the music, the story, everything about is just impeccable.The only game that came close to topping it for me was Outer Wilds but I still think of the crappy place my life was in when I found hollow knight and its held a special place in my heart ever since. And I'd say you capture how I felt pretty accurately. Good video my guy🙏🙏
i was with you on that but then i saw the last sentence. now i'm still with you on that and i respect your opinion despite being a kingdom hearts fan :)
While i am scared that Silksong wont be able to live up to the expectations, i'm pretty sure it will. They have the money to create an even more detailed and wonderful world.
goddamn, i'm impressed af that you managed to 100% the game. speedrunning gives me anxiety and i value my sanity too much to try the Pantheon of Hallownest again.
“Over the last few months, I really got into fully completing games on screen…” He says casually while showing Celeste, Spelunky 2, and Cuphead in the background
Foekoe, if you want to feel more complete as a hollow knight fan I recommend you some mossbag treatment (mossbag is a hk lore youtuber, if you don't know him pls at least watch the 1hr video about complete lore of hk it's great) and try to get godseeker mask by completing all binding challanges on the pantheons 😅 good luck!
I wanna thank you from the bottom of my heart for making this video. Ever since I watched this video I got the game and I've been having the best time of my gaming life. There are some times where I have to take a long break from a boss or I get frustrated at some of the basic enemies but other than those I LOVE this game. It feels so fresh to play after playing nothing but Mario. Keep up the amazing work.
I have put over 500 hours into this game at this point, over 300 of it being in godhome, Radiant bosses and the pantheons really are my thing (planning on doing some modded bosses soon) it just feels so nice to finally consistently beat pantheon 5 after over a dozen attemps before beatong it once
@@owyemen9367 good question, I think just cuz pretty much all that time I was also just watching youtube at the same time, multitasking the whole time, makes it infinitely more bareable
Great job man, I played Hollow Knight before I was good at video games and the game made me good at them. Path of Pain took me 3 straight hours to beat, dying multiple times to the kingsmolds at the end. But after I did it, my skill in games leveled up, I beat a platforming section and I was now good that video games overall.
I absolutely ADORE the path of pain. I only got a bit annoyed a couple times when doing it, because it was always my fault I failed. It was never a sawblade moving too quickly, or spikes in the wrong place, it was my stupidity. When I did complete it, I felt awesome
Eventho the start animation is absolutely GREAT, I must say that the Nail isn't like a circle (idk how to say better cuz im german) but instead its relativly flat
Dwayne johnson the rock. A former wrestler now one of the most paid actors, he is a professional athelete with a lot of muscles. He had been suspected of using steroids before. The "rock" is also a very rich person having met elon "chucky cheese" musk Before. Jeff "ronald mcdonald" bezos has gifted the rock. Atleast 200 million dollars worth in cheesecake. This makes the rock one of the richest actors on the world. As he he had recently been added to fortnite battleroyale his popularity has only grown. As recently a new chinese "meme" has been spreading around the wifi. He is suspected of being a chinese spy that is spying on the american movie industry. He has said multiple threats of destroying belgium. This is unnaceptable.

And that changed my life forever. This game is not only my favorite game, but my favorite piece of art I’ve ever experienced. Everything about this game is absolutely breathtaking. The soundtrack made me feel every single emotion out there. This game truly was something special. And I highly recommend everyone to play this game. Team cherry is truly such an amazing indie developer and changed how I think about video games.
So thank you foekoe for introducing me to this masterpiece of a game. And thank you team cherry for making this game.
If you are reading this comment and want to see what the reply thinks, too bad because you can consider this to be a copy paste of the comment. Hollow Knight is my favorite game of all time ever and it is absolutely worth the money. I would buy it for triple the cost on steam (it is free on gamepass)
why did you have to remind me that i have said this man? Im cringing so hard@@EaterOfGeese
I love how you can see the knight's Genuine fear and panic while going through Deepnest in the intro animation.
It freaks the shit out of me, legit when i saw the reviving dead guys i wanted to close the game.
Also the white worm dudes that turn in two scare the living fuck out of me

Foekoe, your editing is amazing! I loved this video so much!

Subtitles: [Music]
lol
The intro`s animation, the style, the way you pulled this all off. All I can say is, due to my amazement.
THIS.
IS.
SO.
FUCKING.
AMAZING!!!
Awesome video! Your old review is what put me on to Hollow Knight in the first place
Ok, I think this is the best time to say that you are amazing. Your editing, your jokes, your videos en general are incredible. Im glad I found your channel. You are what made me get hollow knight, introducing me to the world of indie games, where I found my favourite games of all time: Don't Starve, terraria and the binding of Isaac. Im honestly surprised that you havent reached 1 million suscribers yet. Keep up the good work, man
(Also, Im sorry I cant support you by buying your plushie. I live in Argentina and here, the amount of money that it costs is kinda hard to get and I prefer to expend it on other things)
I could make a good reply or I could talk about *BABY BEEFALO PFP*
Wow! Extremely well made video! I was quite a bit hesitant regarding buying this game, but I think I will! Congrats Foekoe, you made Team Cherry some money! (also I may or may not know everything now so uh)
"Silksong is right around the corner"
Nintendo Indie world thought otherwise
2:11 He got all Celeste and Spelunky 2 achievements, what a masochist
That snozefest at the beginning of the game made me kinda give up on it, but thanks to you’re video I’m going to try and play it again!
The beginning of hollow knight is much slower than the rest of the game. It's a shame that so many players give up too quickly (like me)
Honestly hollow knight got me through lock down and well it also is the reason I taught myself to play the accordion and how I well spent time and it’s the first game I picked up extremely quickly and the community is just wonderful I don’t feel at all threatened and well the community is also kinda welcoming and it’s kinda funny how most of the bigger hollow knight creators know each other.
When I bought this game I had no prior knowledge on what to expect just 10 minutes of a guy on twitch doing the pantheons and that interested me to buy it and after finishing both the true ending boss and Grim this game was not only the game that brought back my love for video games but also was the door way into the world of indie games. This in my mind no matter what is a solid 10/10 and the only thing left to say is WHEN IS SILK SONG
I’m buying the plushie with my Christmas money! I really want to support the channel have a great Christmas!
I really agree with you. This game was my first game i ever played on PC, and this was so good. I'm so glad that the Hollow knight was first. Music, fighting, exploring and graphic - amazing masterpiece. I think Silksong is going to be my 2nd favorite game :D
(Also sorry for mistakes, I dont speak English very well!)
Wow that intro animation is stunning :0
Cyber did an amazing job!
I’ve only played hollow knight for half the time you have, and I honestly still suck at it. But finally beating the radiance’s head in after 25+ attempts was just so satisfying… and there’s still more game for me to play. Hollow knight is an experience everyone should have.
I wish I didn't play it.
kirby has a good boss rush too, they usually put in a secret boss at the end
I know that this has nothing to do with this video but seeing spiritfarer on your 100% completed games list kinda made me happy. great game!
Spiritfarer :D
Dude, the animation at the beginning is one of my favorite hollow Knight animations I’ve ever seen! I am definitely subbing to your friend
10:59 So this is a lie, I have 1700 hours on this game and have been speedrunning it for almost 2 years and i still somehow suck
This video is incredible, probably one of your best yet. May the algorithm bless your video.
I remember it took me 49 attempts to beat p5 and when i kill absolute radiance i got off my gaming chair and started screaming , and my neigbors asked me "what the hell is goin on"
true gamer
‘Elegy for hallownest’ is basically just a sumamrisation for the story up until that point. That someone created a kingdom, and something bad happened. Makes a lot more sense the second time you replay the game, so i think itd have been cool if you could read it in monomons archives.
"SILKSONG is around the corner"
Ha, funny man
That mindblowing animation in the beginning! Incredible!
When I heard that you’re making another hollow knight video i got inspired to buy it and I’m 16 hours in now…i think I’m addicted. Great video👍
when I started playing HK, I quit when I reached the false knight, but then when I went to live at my grandpa for the summer I had no internet and I fell in love with this game. The boss fights are fun, the exploration is interesting, there are a bunch of enemy types, VERY VERY VERY deep lore and much more. LOVE ITTTTTTTTTTTTT
What I would give to experience this game for this first time again…
This was an amazing video that summarised everything I love about Hollow Knight really really well, and honestly, the *only* thing I disagreed with in this video was that Pantheon 5 is a fair and good way to do a boss rush, because for me, it felt way too punishing and unenjoyable.
Firstly, this one is more a personal thing, but I cannot just solely focus on one thing for too long without spacing out or getting distracted, so sometimes I would be at a crucial part halfway through the pantheon and I would just be unable to focus, leading me to die and having to reset due to something I can't even control.
The whole resetting part is annoying too, because after the tenth time clearing out the first 20 bosses just got tedious, and the game became grating to play, which started to make me question if it was even worth playing.
The worst thing, though, was that it started to make my overall perception of the game worse because I was just forcing myself to play it at that point, and I wasn't even enjoying it, I was just going through the motions over and over again. I wanted to beat it so much because it was the only trophy I needed to get the platinum trophy, (which is something you're awarded if you get all trophies on PS) and I still would love to beat it, it's just that I fear that if I do keep on trying to beat it, it'll cause me to view the game in a relatively negative light.
I think a really good boss rush that has all of the bosses and some new variants is the Sekiro Gauntlets, because they allow you to fully heal and replenish your tools whenever you beat a boss, and you also move on whenever you're ready, so being distracted isn't punished too much and even if the overall task is really hard it's still relatively forgiving.
Again, this was a brilliant video, and i'm sorry if I rambled too much, but I just wanted to get my thoughts out there.
7:45 aint no way he predicted pizza tower
THE BEGINNING ANIMATION OH MY GOD???!?!???!? THE TRANSITIONS?!?!?!?! I WAS REALLY IMPRESSED WITH THE TRANSITION FROM MANTIS LORDS TO HORNET, BUT THEM THAT TRANSITION FROM HORNET TO GRIMM HAD ME STRAIGHT ASCENDING. I FUCKING ADORE WHEN TRANSITIONS KEEP THE MOVEMENT OF THE LAST SCENE GOING, IVE BEEN TRYING TO ANIMATE (failing sadly, im built for singular drawings not multiple ones :[ ) AND IVE ALWAYS WANTED TO ANIMATE WITH MUSIC AND DO A BUNCH OF TRANSITIONS WHERE THE MOVEMENT OF THE PREVIOUS SCENE IS CONTINUED I THINK THATS COOL AS SHIT!!!!!
It's been over 2 years and I still haven't completed the 5th Pantheon, it's easily the hardest thing in any game I've played.
Edit: After all this talk in the replies, I'll give it another shot.
ha, i haven't even beaten 4th pantheon
5th pantheon is more an endurance test than a trial of mastery. After finishing it theres no way I'm ever going to bother do it with all bindings. Unless I have no sanity to lose.
same, or i thought so. then i got bored in qurantine and did all the bindings
@@unlimited8410 I think the intended strat is to practice the individual bosses in the hall of gods to the point where you're almost guaranteed to get it. Both of my friends to beat it got all bosses but 3-5 in radiant mode before trying.
So in that sense, it's a challenge that motivates mastery.
@@iurigrang I mean yeah but I already knew all the bosses well enough to defeat them all one by one, the problem was just not messing up at the end after like an hour of doing the other bosses. Now that I think about it, the biggest hurdles was uumuu just becaue of how tiresome it was to wait to attack it. I think its mostly tilt that will stop people from finishing off the 5th pantheon. I remember defeating the pantheon the second time in one try after finishing it off for the first time for that other ending. Really I just think the 5th pantheon relies too much on its length than actual diffuculty so that it is 'difficult'. Same can be said for the third trial which in my opinion is even worse by throwing a whole boss at you with a very unusual attack pattern that'll take you a few tries to get and make you waste another hour just to fight it. And this time you can't even practice against it.
Hopefully there won't be any marathons like these in Silksong, and if there are, at least make them much more rewarding.
Wow I knew you was going to do another video on how good hollow knight was phenomenal work
I agree with everything said except for pantheon 5. I did indeed beat it, but the impressive and substantial amount of language directed at Absrad was a sign of my undying hatred for that moth piece of shit
Ever since I played hollow knight, it has become my favorite game I've ever played. So much so that I got a Kingsbrand tat on the Hames 3rd birthday. The atmosphere, the combat, the music, the story, everything about is just impeccable.The only game that came close to topping it for me was Outer Wilds but I still think of the crappy place my life was in when I found hollow knight and its held a special place in my heart ever since. And I'd say you capture how I felt pretty accurately. Good video my guy🙏🙏
just me who wanted the knight in the smash? seriously, there are videos of people showing how it would work and it looks really good!
Sora is bad :)
i was with you on that
but then i saw the last sentence.
now i'm still with you on that and i respect your opinion despite being a kingdom hearts fan :)
@@random_chance oh, thanks for agreeing, sorry if i was a bit rude on the sora part :/
'a little too much' 134 hours are baby numbers, chief
I've never even played the game
to be able to make a 20 minute video at your quality and editing style is just bonkers, wish I had this dedication
I mean Hollow Knight is a masterpiece but Silksong will have a hard time beating it with the same quality of content while staying the same idea...
We already have our expectations high af, so they should want to live up to this masterpiece, or make it an even bigger masterpiece
While i am scared that Silksong wont be able to live up to the expectations, i'm pretty sure it will. They have the money to create an even more detailed and wonderful world.
“Silksong is right around the corner”
Team cherry:menacingly laughs
hello i am drifter upload (friend of foekekokeoko)
goddamn, i'm impressed af that you managed to 100% the game.
speedrunning gives me anxiety and i value my sanity too much to try the Pantheon of Hallownest again.
hello i am center text gaming

I liked the comment :)
hello i am lejuno
Glad he made an updated video of hollow knight
hello i am nucleotracer (toxic editor s for me)

“Over the last few months, I really got into fully completing games on screen…” He says casually while showing Celeste, Spelunky 2, and Cuphead in the background
Bad game, it's full of bugs.
Heh
Nah you need to GIT GUD
Damnit
You got a point
Cant argue with that
Foekoe, if you want to feel more complete as a hollow knight fan I recommend you some mossbag treatment (mossbag is a hk lore youtuber, if you don't know him pls at least watch the 1hr video about complete lore of hk it's great) and try to get godseeker mask by completing all binding challanges on the pantheons 😅
good luck!
is that bonemaster
I wanna thank you from the bottom of my heart for making this video. Ever since I watched this video I got the game and I've been having the best time of my gaming life. There are some times where I have to take a long break from a boss or I get frustrated at some of the basic enemies but other than those I LOVE this game. It feels so fresh to play after playing nothing but Mario. Keep up the amazing work.
I just started playing it recently and it feels so good to get a knew upgrade
its actually been at its peak this year if anything im so happy for it! Can't wait for Silk song!
"oh and silksong is right around the corner"
...
I have put over 500 hours into this game at this point, over 300 of it being in godhome, Radiant bosses and the pantheons really are my thing (planning on doing some modded bosses soon) it just feels so nice to finally consistently beat pantheon 5 after over a dozen attemps before beatong it once
Dude I haven't spent that much time playing AAA games how do you survive that
@@owyemen9367 good question, I think just cuz pretty much all that time I was also just watching youtube at the same time, multitasking the whole time, makes it infinitely more bareable
Great job man, I played Hollow Knight before I was good at video games and the game made me good at them.
Path of Pain took me 3 straight hours to beat, dying multiple times to the kingsmolds at the end. But after I did it, my skill in games leveled up, I beat a platforming section and I was now good that video games overall.
6:38 everyone's favourite boss, "Fallen Knight"
If Bayonetta 3 and the Cuphead DLC can get news, then Silksong sure as heck can
A cool thing to mention is that hollow knight was also semi-inspired by dark souls in game design and in theme
5:39 There's a reason Hollow Knight is the first piece of media I've made legitimate ocs for, and this sums it up perfectly.
"silksong is right around the corner" -foekoe date 2 years ago
I absolutely ADORE the path of pain. I only got a bit annoyed a couple times when doing it, because it was always my fault I failed. It was never a sawblade moving too quickly, or spikes in the wrong place, it was my stupidity. When I did complete it, I felt awesome
Ok but i will never forget the time i first time i opened hollow knight and the second i talked to elderbug i just knew it was good
18:41 "It's a tought, but fair challenge."
me: *stares intensely at Markoth
Eventho the start animation is absolutely GREAT, I must say that the Nail isn't like a circle (idk how to say better cuz im german) but instead its relativly flat
I was just expecting a normal video were you talked about hollow knight but this is great.
I haven’t seen such a beautiful animation abt literally my favorite game. I’ve played like 600 hours of this game
Hollow Knight is just one of the best games I ever played, not only is it a hard game, but it is very satisfying when you manage to win.
Dwayne johnson the rock. A former wrestler now one of the most paid actors, he is a professional athelete with a lot of muscles. He had been suspected of using steroids before. The "rock" is also a very rich person having met elon "chucky cheese" musk Before. Jeff "ronald mcdonald" bezos has gifted the rock. Atleast 200 million dollars worth in cheesecake. This makes the rock one of the richest actors on the world. As he he had recently been added to fortnite battleroyale his popularity has only grown. As recently a new chinese "meme" has been spreading around the wifi. He is suspected of being a chinese spy that is spying on the american movie industry. He has said multiple threats of destroying belgium. This is unnaceptable.
5:49
i was watching the video convinced that i should play it but this...
turned me on MORE
Little did he know silk song was around a corner but the corner was 5000 miles away
as i heard in a hollow knight review before:
*"The only bad thing about hollow knight is that it ends"*
