Very large hollow knight fan here, I currently cannot play the game because my sister owns it and we aren't sharing steam libraries right now, and it is genuinely so nostalgic to watch someone play through the game for the first time. I started playing the game in 2020, when I was only ten years old (it feels so long ago now) and watching these videos is holding me through my time when I am unable to play. It's nice to see someone enjoying the game so much for the first time Also, the Myla infection reaction is a universal thing
The sound at the beginning of the video is you discovering a secret. If you find a space or a wall and you break it that noise will happen to indicate it’s a hidden passage
Things like at 8:50 just happen. The better you get at the game, the more likely it is that most of your deaths are caused by some random enemy bs. Those stupid deaths will never go away, they will haunt you forever. It's not just you, trust me xD
@@theender664You mean they'd go away? Wouldn't call that try hard. Just have to be someone who doesn't walk around with less than 4 hp and immediately quits out once they fall below that. I'd call that boring.
This is my favourite series right now. It's almost like playing Hollow Knight again for the first time vicariously through your videos and that's an awesome feeling. Keep up the great work! AHHH AHHHH AHHHHHH
I love hollow knight and your editing style works perfectly with it, but I would also like to see what you do with tekken. I will say that the videos probably won’t perform as well metrics-wise because the HK community basically has 5-6 UA-camrs that actually consistently upload so you’ll have a larger viewer base continuing this game.
Yeah that area (in the end of the video) can be a bit tricky, but don't worry! You'll get something good from there (asides the grub) once you get through the annoying enemies. Just try killing them first so that they don't mess with you as you travel around c: (Also, without spoiling anything, now that you have Crystal Dash, try going to the area above Charm Lover Salubra's place. You'll find something good there ✨)
I love your HK gameplay, and that's a common first reaction to the crystalized mound tbf lol (go back when you get the double jump, it helps a lot, also don't forget to get the grub in there, it's to your right) just a tip, go back to the area where you found the mimic, there's an actual grub there behind a false wall to the right of where the mimic was
Pro tip, you can down slash the platforms to turn them back, you can parry a lot of emenies who carry weapons, you can slash moat projectiles to fling them in a different direction (even up), and the crystal clusters that form from the annoying flying things can be broken too :)
fighting games are such a treat. im dabbling in them too for the last 2 years or so and i always enjoy new people learn new games. go ahead and get yourself that tekken 8 if u want
Some advice for u that might me useful, if u attack those platforms w cristals once they have turned, they will turn again so u can stand on them without having to wait
dude I don't blame you the crystallized mount is annoying as hell BUT!!! If you equip the shaman stone, the up spell will help you deal with the flying crystal shooting dudes. Also, you can attack the crystal platforms from above (attack down while above them) and that will force them to flip back so you can stand on them again.
I am a Sunday player, but I loved HK soooo, sooooooo much. Your HK series looks great and bring back all good memories, thanks! Still, I can't wait to see, when you find a Grim DLC content :D
i got effed 4 times against crystal guardian first attempt at the game and now I'm beating the hardest challenge (pantheon 5) so you're doing really well for me at least
Grubsong is S tier IMO, I almost always use it because I like being able to suck and get hit a lot Normally, in combat you need to get 3 hits to heal per 1 damage taken. With this charm it's more like 1.7. Plus in platforming where you can't get any soul from enemies, it's like having several extra heals available.
4:54 i finished this game 3 times with 112% completion and finished all the dlcs and beaten steels soul and finished the pantheon and never knew you could do that the more u know i guess
ALL HAIL THE UNIVERSE! I just finished binging your other HK vids and was bemoaning having to wait for another. But AHA i was given one by you, you gracious gracious provider!
question: did you notice that when you get locked in areas where you have to fight a bunch of regular enemies in a row and at once, the music changes? It also does so during some platforming sections. Oh, yeah, you noticed, 12:45 is an example Also you missed things in howling cliffs!!!!! 1:31 that "ding...." is the sound indicating that you discovered a hidden area/secret.
Lol crystallized mound is so real…. my strategy was to use charms that just net me as much soul as i could (my available charms were grubsong and soul catcher) and just spell the heck outta the enemies while tanking damage, healing in between fights. Btw i don’t know if you knew but you can nail the crystal platforms that are flipped over to make them safe again without having to wait for them to automatically reser
Congratulations on the channel growth my man! You just gained another subscriber! Humor on point, editing on point. i cant remember the last time I watched a gaming series with such a good balance. Also cant remember the last time I actively looked forward to new episodes of a series on YT. Keep up the good work!
7:00 btw if you wanna play fighting games here's a little list of games you could try 1.- street fighter 3rd strike [you will need an emulator called fightcade 2 since it's an arcade game, also fightcade lets you play online] 2.- skullgirls [it's on steam] 3.- king of fighters 2002 [fightcade] [also kof is like one of the biggest franchises of fighting games with street fighter so you have to try it out] 4.- marvel vs capcom 2 [fightcade] 5.- pokemon close combat [it's an unfinished fangame and it's completely free, also is very begginer friendly] 6.- last blade 2 [fightcade] [i just really love this game] That's all, me personally, i would really love to see you play fighting games, they're awesome
Q: How do you feel about Denmark? Personally I think their silly little base 20 counting system is a beatiful child, but none of my friends feel the same :(
When you upgrade your downslam ability into descending dark you gain Iframes when you use it and it will hit 2x but its also one of the strongest damages you can produce besides abyssal shriek I recommend you use your spells more on normal mobs especially in crystal peaks where most enemies are either hard to hit or have armour I like the way of enjoying a boss to its potential but harder bosses will be tough if you use nothing but your nail so sneak in a vengefull spirit every now and then!
Personally, I probably wouldnt be super into tekken gameplay. I really enjoy your chill vibe from these playthroughs. Lowkey would love to see you do more Metroidvanias like Sundered or Ori, but anything that you enjoy would be best (including Tekken)
Bro, I love your videos lol Its very funny (that with the accent and everything I understand half but I DON’T CARE). There is nothing better than listening to “ah” “ay” with every death. Magnificent. Keep going like this partner, good content, natural and happy. Thank you for making me anxiously wait for every update uwu
idk if you're looking for tips to make this easier but you can pogo the crystal platforms when they turn upside down to make them safe again, also spells can kill the laser bugs! good luck with crystal mound :)
Spoiler Warning. There exists a double jump in game which is called monarch wings. U can find them in the abyss after beating a boss but u should probably do flower quest before doing it because after beating that boss the crossroads becomes infected and it becomes huge pain in the ass to deal with. Flower Quest is basically where u deliver a delicate flower across the map to a shrine without taking any damage. The reward for completing flower quest is a mask shard. Mask shard is an item which increases ur health by one mask, four such mask are required for it.
yay more hollow knight! now some info, those platforms with spikes, you can hit them to turn them back to step on them again. just pogo on it and you'll be good 👍press the super dash button again mid dash to cancel it so you can stop yourself instead of running into stuff. like, you may run into enemies or you may just want to stop mid dash to change your direction.
very accurate crystallized mound reaction
why? it was very easy to do...
Okay you did the crystallized mound very easily, you dont need to announce it at every comment.

hollow knight community and new players, the biggest ship
Never gets old

Don't worry, Crystal Hunters are one of the most hated enemies in the game, it's not just you
not that hard when you realise you can destroy and deflect their shots

Silksong drought
13:14 Watching you suffer in hard plataform games is fun, also you have good reactions and voice.
Just a little tip if you pogo (attack downwards while in the air) the flipping platforms spikes when theyve turned rhey turn aroun immidiely

That ending ooof Come on Gin power through, we've all done it, so can you.
Those crsytalized platforms at the end. You can dawn slash them to turn them back. You are doing good job btw
How dare you disrespect my helpful Soul Totem 😤
I've literally been checking your Hollow Knight playlist multiple times a day to see if you've uploaded a new video :P
Yeah that area (in the end of the video) can be a bit tricky, but don't worry! You'll get something good from there (asides the grub) once you get through the annoying enemies. Just try killing them first so that they don't mess with you as you travel around c:

Pancakes or waffles
That cliffhanger was a worse one than the newest one
I’m glad Hollow Knight has brought you so much, you truly deserve it man😁
Those crystal flies......
My favorite hollow knight gameplay!
The game opens up a lot more with crystal dash, great series too
I just binged all the rest of the hollow knight vids, and I'm waiting in suspense for more to come
If you were in Hollow Knight, what would you look like and what would you spend your day doing?
The Literal Best Hollow Knight Gameplay
Those bugs are the only reason I ever rage in HK. Keep playing the game please I'd love to see your gameplay. It's all worth playing
I had forgotten Crystal Peak was such a salt mine. :)
I love your HK gameplay, and that's a common first reaction to the crystalized mound tbf lol (go back when you get the double jump, it helps a lot, also don't forget to get the grub in there, it's to your right) just a tip, go back to the area where you found the mimic, there's an actual grub there behind a false wall to the right of where the mimic was
Crystallised mound is extremely annoying but my god is the reward worth it
Stay in teh mound. It is WORTH
Pro tip, you can down slash the platforms to turn them back, you can parry a lot of emenies who carry weapons, you can slash moat projectiles to fling them in a different direction (even up), and the crystal clusters that form from the annoying flying things can be broken too :)
I am very hyped when he finally attemps P5
YESS CRYSTAL PEAKS AND NEW VID lets go!!! love the series
fighting games are such a treat. im dabbling in them too for the last 2 years or so and i always enjoy new people learn new games. go ahead and get yourself that tekken 8 if u want
As someone who runs randomizer, I completely agree with and do not fault your reaction to crystal peaks. This place is ass.
Question for your special, where's your accent from? It's very noicee and congrats on 5k (for when it happens)
He's either German or Austrian, as his first language is Deutsch.
Or from Eastern Luxembourg 😂
You can press A to cancel crystal heart in the air
Those Crystal shooting shitters were the reason I quit the game twice.
Some advice for u that might me useful, if u attack those platforms w cristals once they have turned, they will turn again so u can stand on them without having to wait
QnA question: Who's your favourite cartoon villain and why?
dude I don't blame you the crystallized mount is annoying as hell
BUT!!!
If you equip the shaman stone, the up spell will help you deal with the flying crystal shooting dudes.
Also, you can attack the crystal platforms from above (attack down while above them) and that will force them to flip back so you can stand on them again.
I am a Sunday player, but I loved HK soooo, sooooooo much. Your HK series looks great and bring back all good memories, thanks! Still, I can't wait to see, when you find a Grim DLC content :D
You can take advantage of The desolate dive i frames when surrounded by enemies
Came to your channel for Hollow Knight and after watching other videos I realized they are as entertaning. Would love to see you play tekken
You can strike (pogo) those rotating crystal platforms to make the crystal side be on the underside again
i hate those crystal shooting flys so much! everything else- crystal peak is very cool and good
Bro this is my 2nd most hated enemy ever💀 wait till bro finds primal aspids💀
i got effed 4 times against crystal guardian first attempt at the game and now I'm beating the hardest challenge (pantheon 5) so you're doing really well for me at least
When you use your dive you become invincible for like 1 second afterwords
Grubsong is S tier IMO, I almost always use it because I like being able to suck and get hit a lot

IIRC, in the grub mimic area there are some breakable walls
i have 112% in hollow knight so its cool watching somebody experiencing the game for the first time i can give you some advice if you would like
As a Hollow Knight all achievements pro, this was painful to watch.
Q: How do you feel about Denmark? Personally I think their silly little base 20 counting system is a beatiful child, but none of my friends feel the same :(
Now that you got the charm you'll realize how much Geo you've lost
If you wanta question, here's one: Do you actually have cats, a black and white?
Question:
If you were a soup, what kind of soup would you bee?
For questions I don't have anything interesting just if you have pets and your favourite games and genres
You can pogo off the flipping platforms to avoid taking damage.
People, STOP TELLING THIS MAN THINGS, let him find these things out for himself AND STOP BACKSEATING
Cant Wait for primal aspid reaction
Great gameplay!
PANCAKES or chalk
