Hey everyone, thank you all so much for the support on this video! Unfortunately, I made a stupid error and used a copyrighted song right when part 4 of the video starts, so that's why the audio is all muffled and messed up. It should only last about 50 seconds, then it goes back to normal. Sorry about that, I promise it won't happen again. I hope everyone enjoys the video regardless :)
I did really think zote was gonna be nice and all for us saving him, but nah, he stole bretta from us, he made us have to face gpz in p3, and he also annoys us with sounds in dirtmouth. Zote is an idiot
Embrace the Void was such a difficult achievement to achieve and I completed it finally last year. I can’t wait for what Silksong will add to make the game harder
I have a subtle fear, that silksong, after the hype pf hollowknight, will actually become easier and not harder just to fit for the mass and not for the true fans… been that way for many games before… hope it will be good
@@RushWheeler Silksong ought to give us an achievement just for opening the game; it means we made it alive from Hollow Knight to it, which is the hardest challenge Team Cherry has faced us with so far.
people have become so good at the game that beating poh is underestimated. ive beaten it twice and im still so proud of myself. and im really proud of you too :)
I'm guilty of this. When I saw the thumbnail I assumed he was talking about all bindings at once P5. I haven't done it myself, but I've done P5 many times at this point, including with single binding, and I also did P1 and P2 with all bindings at once, so in my mind P5 can't be called a ''hardest challenge'' anymore.
The fact that you didn't have the Invincible, Fearless, Sensual, Mysterious, Enchanting, Vigorous, Diligent, Overwhelming, Gorgeous, Passionate, Terrifying, Beautiful, Powerful, Grey Prince Zote means your ultimately lost what's the most important in the game.
What? Is there something wrong about the Invincible, Fearless, Sensual, Mysterious, Enchanting, Vigorous, Diligent, Overwhelming, Gorgeous, Passionate, Terrifying, Beautiful, Powerful, Grey Prince Zote
When i hear it i think of the intro music to twin peaks.. it will always remind me of it. For the longest time i thought it was actually the same score. I wonder if the guy who made the summoning salt intro music sampled any part the TPs score to make it..
I did this achievement a couple years ago and remember it being among the hardest things I've beaten in a video game. If I included all the practice on the bosses it probably took me around 20-30 hours to beat this challenge. Recently I've been trying to do all the pantheon of hallownest with the bindings (individually, not all at once. That would be insane) and It kinda brought me back to how I felt when first time playing the pantheon of hallownest. Even though I've beaten absolute radiance on radiant difficulty, which is arguably much harder (took me longer to beat on radiant than all the other bosses combined), the amount of tension in that fight in the pantheon is something else. I actually died 3 times in a row to the final phase of the absolute radiance fight in the pantheon when doing the charm binding, though now I only have the nail binding left, which is probably the easiest one. For me there's always something special about these types of boss rush challenges. I'm really surprised you didn't have a harder time on absolute radiance. I've played that fight for over 30 hours and it's still still the fight I die to by far the most often. (on my binding runs the only boss I've died to is absolute radiance and I've died to her around 10 times.)
I am a fool and did P1 and P2 with full bindings all at once. And have been attempting P3 with negative success. Perhaps it's time to eat my pride, and do one binding at a time
Even though I've never played Hollow Knight the intro really hooked me! Overall very easy to follow even for someone like me I hope this video gets the views it deserves, well done Sevorion!
Saw your community post and decided to check out your video! This was absolutely great man, honestly one of the most entertaining Hollow Knight videos I've watched in the last few months. GG
Wish me luck. I’m about to start attempting Pantheon of Hallownest with all bindings enabled. Yes, I’m a masochist, and yes, I will be in unfathomable pain
That first beaten pure vessel inside the patheon fight was the cleanest, most insane hollow Knight gameplay I've ever seen. Just got the game a couple days ago and I definitely want to become this skill because boy this game seems so fun after you've unlocked all the charms and abilities.
I love how Hollow Knight is so frustrating but then equally rewarding. I shared a few shorts about my first Colo3 and Pantheons attempts because I never thought I'd manage either, but as you said, with lots of practice, knowing which charms work best for your playstyle and remaining calm, it gets better and better. I really enjoy your video and I'll be checking the rest of your channel!
Hearing other people’s experiences beating pantheon 5 is always so fun! I myself beat it two months ago with 1 mask left and I was so happy, amazing video keep up the great work!
Massive applause for beating it. Steel Soul/Heart may take some patience and time, but P5 takes that and a lot of determination and effort to pull through. Great video, looking forward to more in the future
Hey, just watched this. Wanted to say that as somebody who loves both hollow knight and summoning salt, this is one of the best videos that I’ve seen in a while. I can see the very clear inspiration in the hard that you put into this video. Well done and imma watch some more!
You know what man, i have been grinding the panteons trying to get to the 5th , im currently at the 4th and is struggling . But you just gave me a boost of confidence , ik im not as good as you . But i believe i can do it now. Time for me to grind
Great video brother, you definitely deserve a larger audience i enjoyed this a lot. I’m going on the same journey trying to 100% this game and this video has given me alot of courage. Keep up the good work
I can’t believe I used to struggle with p5, after beating with all the bindings on p5 playing just normally is literally a snooze fest haha, ggs man good job!
GG I loved the documentary, seeing you learn how to optimaly play the game and learn what things work, and Seeing the struggle on the last 3 bosses, what makes them so good. And specially the skill curve, from dieing to Grimm to Obliterating NKG Kind of disappointed you defeated Absrad that easy... But I think I did it even faster so... Idk. Also that way you fought P5 was basically how I did P5AB, fought and practiced Zote for hours just to beat Absrad first try. If you ever attempt bindings or even all bindings I'd love to see another documentary. Also your narration and script was really good, not to mention the editing.
I recently got back into Hollow Knight, and I'd lost all my progress from the Pantheons, but I'm almost there. I beat all bosses (except NGK and pure vessel) radiant, which makes going through the pantheons a breeze. Doing all bosses radiant really gives so much useful practice. Finger crossed I can finish Pure Vessel, so I can MAKE it to Absolute Radiance, and start practicing for my "real" attempts at PoH.
A lost run is never wasted time, it's a learning experience. You got extra practice dealing with the nerves that come with a challenge like this. This goes for any game, and forcing myself to think like this has really helped me both improve at game and not rage as much. It's a healthier mindset than thinking of losses as wasted time. Congrats on the accomplishment, massive props for being able to do it.
Embrace the Void is a good name. From a lore standpoint, you are Embracing the Void inside of you, the vessel. From a gameplay point of view, you are Embracing the Void that is this nearly endless cycle of practicing the bosses and running p5 over and over until, when you are nearly void of even happiness, you beat it.
Loved watching this! Such a blast! Never had the opportunity to watch a video about someone who beat something which is one of the biggest gaming challenges I achieved myself! GG!
Love watching your videos and amazing work beating pantheon 5! It took me around two weeks my first win. And after literal years of practice I have beaten pantheon 5 with all bindings and I would love to see you complete the same challenge!
Honestly, your journey through the pantheons was very similar to mine. I kind of sucked at hollow knight for most of the game, and it took me quite a while to beat p4, let alone p5.
Congrats on the win man! After i did p5, i couldnt put the damn game down so i put myself through even more pain with the ‘RadHoG’ where you defeat every boss in the hall of gods on radiant (no hit difficulty) to obtain the level 3 void idol. Next I’m going for the bindings on each pantheon.
Congrats for beating P5! I felt that nerves you had when beating P5 only bosses, NKG, PV, and AR, as I was always nerve wrecked when I reach those fights. It took me a month and lots of heartbreaks to beat Pantheon 5. To grind and practice Hall of Gods just to be part of that 0.3% of Steam users to unlock the Embrace The Void achievement was worth it. This was a great video. Made me want to try P5 again and beat it for the third time. Proud of your grindset.
it's always content like this that just really make me wanna get better at hk. it's so difficult finishing off a hard boss, so I applaud you for all the hard work you put into the pantheons!
Those stress deaths are kind of exciting. You get so good at what you need to do that you can freely mentally process your stress of nearing completion and how now that you've done that you've fucked the whole run up.
This was a very good watch and the storytelling and music inspiration from Summoning Salt was awesome, great video mate i just beat P5 today myself and i was going absolutely NUTS after beating AbsRad, congrats!
Damn, I'm in my grinding arc for my P5, and this video gave me such an inspirational feeling that I really can do it! Congrats, bro, and let's see how long this challenge will take me.
I love that the 5th Pantheon puts you in a spot where you grind out particular boss fights. I remember Ascended Markoth I had beat him for the first time and my girlfriend at the time asked "oh so you're done?" Lol "nope now I need to be able to do it with plenty of health and soul"
Thank you for the video, I was getting frustrated for failing to beat the pantheons after a couple of tries/hours, it's good to remember that this is not easy and is supposed to take hundreds of attempts across all pantheons combined. I think we truly underestimate this content now that we have so many hitless runs to compare ourselves to.
"failed champion [...] a scary boss, but that's mainly because of the double damage, it's not actually that bad of a fight" * gets to nkg * "with the double damage looming over my head i had to be almost perfect"
This is actually a really difficult thing to do, one of the biggest challenges in the game. Awesome achievement, and never let anyone tell you otherwise!
after watching the vid I went down and looked at your sub count I was surprised seeing 11.8 all tho it's not a small number I was expecting you to have 100k. Give this man some love content is fire
The story of you changing your charm loadout was nice to see. I had an "oh no" moment when you first mentioned the build xD Congrats on this accomplishment, truly well earned.
Congrats! P5 will come as a breeze after your first clear. Believe me I have been there. From spending 2 years for embrace the void, I went on to do all radiant and all bindings.
I did a similar thing to this but in Cuphead, where I had to beat all 19 main game bosses and all 6 dlc bosses in one take. It took around 8 tries over 5 hours ( I had 200+ hours in Cuphead before this and beat the game hitless not consecutively) and my heart rate was around 130bpm at the end😅
This challenge really deserves the title of the hardest thing in Hollow Knight, and is the hardest thing I've done in a metroidvania. When I reached the climb phase when I tried it in P5, I was shaking so much, had to pause the game and calm down for a moment. It worked, and I beat it before the nerves got to me.
Ever since i found this video you have become one of my favorite youtubers and I have to say a huge thank you because this video inspired me to beat Pantheon 5 me self keep up the great content and I am sure you will keep growing.
Oh, congratulations! This pantheon took me 4 months of practice, which 2 were spent to practice absolute radiance. Despite this in the pantheon I died on it 4 times at the last stage due to the fact that I was nervous. But abs.rad is my favorite boss in the game, and getting this achievement was fun
Little tips for people struggling with the pantheons: Oro and Mato get shredded by Abyss Shriek. Stand between them during their phase transition and dreamnail one to get soul, then let rip. Sheo’s Great Slash is a heal attack and has low damage. Flanking him does not work. Sly will come to you. Don’t go to him. Pure Vessel is not a race. Play as slow as you need. Grimm is a dance. Try to just dodge his attacks until you’re confident. Sisters of Battle won’t let you heal, but there’s a bench after them. Don’t let up. God Tamer’s roll moves just as fast as Shade Soul. You can combo by jumping, turning, and firing with a quickcast. Xero dies to eight abyss shrieks with shaman stone. You can pogo his nails.
Dude you are a champ for grinding so long. I still can’t get past p5 and I’ve been playing since 2020. I recently completed Radiant Pure Vessel and Radiant NKG so I’m hopeful for my completion. Props to you man for your victory
watching this filled me with joy my man. im on p5 right now and i have been losing so much confidence due to my greatest nemesis... greed... and winged nosk. something about that fight just keeps taking me down. and with uumuu right before it... i know ill eventually take down the pantheon. but like most people have said in the comments... its really a time consumption problem. making so much progress and then having it all be thrown out the window. theres a lot to learn... great video. i did stop watching after you got the absrad because i want the pleasure of seeing that ending to be on my own game. jee jeez.
Oh I've been there. My best advice is to practice the bosses you struggle with a lot. Beat them in ascended, maybe even radient if you have the patience. Best of luck!!
Good job man, I also completed this achievement for the first time just a few weeks ago. It was on my switch. It took many hours but it was so satisfying to get it done
Amazing video! I got Hollow Knight about 3 weeks ago and yesterday I finally beat Pantheon of the Knight and unlocked P5! Hopefully I'll go as far as you did soon! It was crazy to see how quickly your skills grew throughout all the pantheons.
How is this guy so good lmao, most people take HOURS of grinding to beat pure vessel and NKG, this guy casually does them in just a few minutes. I’d like to see him try malenia in elden ring
I got Embrace The Void about 2 months ago, and largely stopped playing afterwards. then I went back after a month and struggled with beating Vengefly King on radiant. I got washed QUICK
I watched this video many times by now and when I picked up hollow knight for the first time (much later after it's release) I was immediately hooked, but didn't know about godhome. After finishing everything in the rest of the game this video inspired me to go for the "embrace the void" ending too. Actually took it a step further a couple months afterwards, and after many many fails managed to get to the land of storms (secret area that unlocks after beating all bindings on P5). The charms binding was hands down the worst of them all, but it still feels an amazing accomplishment.
This is a really fun video. I've made it to AbsRad twice but never came close to beating her. Just getting to her is a level of pressure I can't describe lol. Even in the Hall of Gods, I've only beaten her once on normal difficulty.
i recently got into hollow knight thanks to my friend, and i plan on going on this though journey aswell. many deaths are ahead. but i hope to return here one day and say "hey. update i made it!"
Tbh I’ve energy understood the “struggle” everyone hyped up the pantheon to be. I wouldn’t say Im an absolute god at the game but it honestly only took me about 5 try’s and I beat the pantheon of hallownest
Sly quickly became my favorite fight in the game when I went back and cleaned up the base pantheons. He feels so overwhelming when you first fight him, but I eventually developed a strategy that basically resulted in me leading him around his arena by the nose and getting hits in where I could. I am fairly sure this is one of the only bosses I've beat on Radiant.
Hey everyone, thank you all so much for the support on this video!

Hello. I finished Hollow knight only once but... Do you really need unbreakable version of the charm in the Pantheon?
@@RandomGuyOnUA-cam601 you do not, since it’s in a dream. He did die to Markoth in the waking world though, so it still did get use.

The fact that you didn't have the Invincible, Fearless, Sensual, Mysterious, Enchanting, Vigorous, Diligent, Overwhelming, Gorgeous, Passionate, Terrifying, Beautiful, Powerful, Grey Prince Zote means your ultimately lost what's the most important in the game.

Thank you for the video, I was getting frustrated for failing to beat the pantheons after a couple of tries/hours, it's good to remember that this is not easy and is supposed to take hundreds of attempts across all pantheons combined. I think we truly underestimate this content now that we have so many hitless runs to compare ourselves to.
Hollow knight is definitely one of the games of all time
"failed champion [...] a scary boss, but that's mainly because of the double damage, it's not actually that bad of a fight"
* gets to nkg *
"with the double damage looming over my head i had to be almost perfect"
Failed champion allows you to fully refill soul and health at each stagger, NKG doesn't
Nkg is easy as shit
If u just mindlessly practice him at God home u will master his moves in less than 7 days
This is actually a really difficult thing to do, one of the biggest challenges in the game. Awesome achievement, and never let anyone tell you otherwise!
It’s such an amazing feeling to beat Pantheon 5. I finally did it as well and really appreciate you putting your experience on UA-cam!
after watching the vid I went down and looked at your sub count I was surprised seeing 11.8 all tho it's not a small number I was expecting you to have 100k. Give this man some love content is fire
Thank you so much!
The story of you changing your charm loadout was nice to see. I had an "oh no" moment when you first mentioned the build xD
Congrats on this accomplishment, truly well earned.
Congrats! P5 will come as a breeze after your first clear. Believe me I have been there. From spending 2 years for embrace the void, I went on to do all radiant and all bindings.
Fr the ending where you kill radiance as billy was so cool it made me wanna do it again but 45 mins for maybe playing as billy again is intimidating
I did a similar thing to this but in Cuphead, where I had to beat all 19 main game bosses and all 6 dlc bosses in one take. It took around 8 tries over 5 hours ( I had 200+ hours in Cuphead before this and beat the game hitless not consecutively) and my heart rate was around 130bpm at the end😅
A bit late, but thank you. This video gave me the motivation to give the Hollow Knight another attempt, and I finally beat it
This challenge really deserves the title of the hardest thing in Hollow Knight, and is the hardest thing I've done in a metroidvania. When I reached the climb phase when I tried it in P5, I was shaking so much, had to pause the game and calm down for a moment. It worked, and I beat it before the nerves got to me.
Ever since i found this video you have become one of my favorite youtubers and I have to say a huge thank you because this video inspired me to beat Pantheon 5 me self keep up the great content and I am sure you will keep growing.
This video is my motivation to beat the pantheon of hallownest, i just got done with the third pantheon, now th real challange starts
Oh, congratulations!
This pantheon took me 4 months of practice, which 2 were spent to practice absolute radiance. Despite this in the pantheon I died on it 4 times at the last stage due to the fact that I was nervous. But abs.rad is my favorite boss in the game, and getting this achievement was fun
Dude I love this vid. I have seen it so many times keep up the good work
Little tips for people struggling with the pantheons:
Oro and Mato get shredded by Abyss Shriek. Stand between them during their phase transition and dreamnail one to get soul, then let rip.
Sheo’s Great Slash is a heal attack and has low damage. Flanking him does not work.
Sly will come to you. Don’t go to him.
Pure Vessel is not a race. Play as slow as you need.
Grimm is a dance. Try to just dodge his attacks until you’re confident.
Sisters of Battle won’t let you heal, but there’s a bench after them. Don’t let up.
God Tamer’s roll moves just as fast as Shade Soul. You can combo by jumping, turning, and firing with a quickcast.
Xero dies to eight abyss shrieks with shaman stone. You can pogo his nails.
Watching you on the last stretch of absrad made me shiver just like when it was my turn to finish P5. Good job, what a joyrney !
5:56 might be the best thing I've ever heard in my life thank you for this.
Just realised I missed this and now I’m mad bc my notifications didn’t tell me I posted two months ago damn
Dude you are a champ for grinding so long. I still can’t get past p5 and I’ve been playing since 2020. I recently completed Radiant Pure Vessel and Radiant NKG so I’m hopeful for my completion. Props to you man for your victory
I love the summoning salt music at the end
watching this filled me with joy my man. im on p5 right now and i have been losing so much confidence due to my greatest nemesis... greed... and winged nosk. something about that fight just keeps taking me down. and with uumuu right before it...
i know ill eventually take down the pantheon. but like most people have said in the comments... its really a time consumption problem. making so much progress and then having it all be thrown out the window. theres a lot to learn... great video.
i did stop watching after you got the absrad because i want the pleasure of seeing that ending to be on my own game. jee jeez.
Oh I've been there.
My best advice is to practice the bosses you struggle with a lot. Beat them in ascended, maybe even radient if you have the patience.
Best of luck!!
Good job man, I also completed this achievement for the first time just a few weeks ago. It was on my switch. It took many hours but it was so satisfying to get it done
Beating absrad final phase with no pogo is actually nuts. Good job🔥
I think we can all agree that on pure vessel we get closer when we focus, and used descending dark instead of abyss shriek.
Amazing video! I got Hollow Knight about 3 weeks ago and yesterday I finally beat Pantheon of the Knight and unlocked P5! Hopefully I'll go as far as you did soon! It was crazy to see how quickly your skills grew throughout all the pantheons.
i was about to cry when i saw his first charm setup, and i was so happy at his second one.
That was such a cool video to watch :) congratulations!!
Such a good feeling to finally run the gauntlet and beat P5, congrats!
That must feel great. I have the last 5%. It's gonna be a long road but I'll take my time and enjoy the ride. One of the best games I've ever played.
How is this guy so good lmao, most people take HOURS of grinding to beat pure vessel and NKG, this guy casually does them in just a few minutes. I’d like to see him try malenia in elden ring
I got Embrace The Void about 2 months ago, and largely stopped playing afterwards. then I went back after a month and struggled with beating Vengefly King on radiant. I got washed QUICK
Grats. I took one look at what pantheon is and noped right out of that.
I watched this video many times by now and when I picked up hollow knight for the first time (much later after it's release) I was immediately hooked, but didn't know about godhome.
After finishing everything in the rest of the game this video inspired me to go for the "embrace the void" ending too. Actually took it a step further a couple months afterwards, and after many many fails managed to get to the land of storms (secret area that unlocks after beating all bindings on P5). The charms binding was hands down the worst of them all, but it still feels an amazing accomplishment.
Beating Pantheon of Hollownest felt so rewarding to me. It was worth the grind for sure.
It’s awesome to see how much better you get from beginning to end, well done 👍🏻
I have recently just defeated P5, and watching you struggle through it reminded me of my playthrough.
This is a really fun video. I've made it to AbsRad twice but never came close to beating her. Just getting to her is a level of pressure I can't describe lol. Even in the Hall of Gods, I've only beaten her once on normal difficulty.
Well play ma dude, and it's a really nice video too, good stuff
i recently got into hollow knight thanks to my friend, and i plan on going on this though journey aswell. many deaths are ahead. but i hope to return here one day and say "hey. update i made it!"
5:56
*”The first guy had Xero chance of beating me”*
Well I just died
Tbh I’ve energy understood the “struggle” everyone hyped up the pantheon to be. I wouldn’t say Im an absolute god at the game but it honestly only took me about 5 try’s and I beat the pantheon of hallownest
The Summoning Salt music at the end is perfect
“Otherwise I would’ve equipped an essential charm instead”
Proceeds to list some of the worst charms against NKG
No hate though. Great video!
That was the joke 🤣. Thanks, I appreciate it!!
Just got Embrace the Void a couple of months ago.
So I know that feel bro. It's still very fresh in recent memory.
Sly quickly became my favorite fight in the game when I went back and cleaned up the base pantheons.
He feels so overwhelming when you first fight him, but I eventually developed a strategy that basically resulted in me leading him around his arena by the nose and getting hits in where I could. I am fairly sure this is one of the only bosses I've beat on Radiant.
Underrated video and underrated channel. I am subscribing. Congrats btw on beating The hell scape that is the 5 Pantheons
