I feel that. Bosses are one of the highlights for me, so hearing that basically only a quarter of bossfights would be faced on average seemed surprising to me.
Actually, i've seen a glitch where you can sort of combine rooms, and because of that glitch you can defeat one dreamer three times and it would still count as three. Then the black egg temple would open. So in theory, if you defeat Herrah with this glitch 3 times, you can beat the game killing only one boss, which is The Hollow Knight. Still great video!
I'm not an expert, but basically it revolves around a glitch with mixing godmaster mode with classic mode using the menu screen and a bench, which lets you enter a room the wrong way, copying it. I think.
Dude if team cherry doesn't release silksong soon someones going to do the, "bEaTiNg HoLlOw KnIgHt WiThOuT bReAtHiNg ChAlLeNgE" Edit: why are you guys actually trying this 💀
i’ve done low%, the thk fight is actually the hardest part of the run, with the explosion pogo-mantis claw section and the queen’s station fireball skip being a closeish second, and watcher knights being a third. i know it’s not a skill issue with combat, as i’m about average at platforming, but have all but gpz and absrad radiant, those two are only on ascended
@@ithinkpigeonsarecool lol I know right like what? I spent 12 hours straight getting every radiant in one session (and succeeded), but markoth was the final one and took 2 hours alone.
I still decide to do beat as many bosses as I can before beating the game because I wanna get all my combat supplies ready and also it makes me feel complete.
If we're doing true-ending we'd have to add Hornet 1 and Hornet 2 anyways as Traitor Lord needs void dash to get to. Besides that, essence for awoken Dreamnail can be obtained from killing enemies (bees are easiest).
pretty sure it goes up by 3 - hornet sentinel, radiance, traitor lord however if you don't do broken vessel then you have to do the whole game without monarch wings including white palace which is barely possible and has very hard skips
@@MaskerHollowKnight at the time i didn't know pogo up there and by the time i had abilities like claw or wings that make it easier i completely forgot that area existed
Are you sure that you can get back out of Harrah? Everything else here looks good, but there’s a hard save at Harrah, so you either need to be able to climb out of the water pit, go back through the dark rooms, or climb to Distant Village station. The slippery walls might make it difficult to get to the stag station. I think you can get back through deep nest, to the tram station but I’m not sure
Not possible if you need howling wraths to get through the platforming in Cristal peaks than to get to howling wraths you need Cristal dash or Ismas tears and because you need to kill dung defender for ismas tear than it becomes impossible to beat it the way you sead you could
I remember doing the false knight skip on my first playthrough and half expected him to jump down and start chasing me😭 dont worry I beat him after I got vengeful spirit
imo the stallball skip to fungal is *much* easier than the queens station fireball skip, on top of being much quicker to retry. i recommend giving it a try, it should only take like 5min to get it also, dashless spore pogo is actually possible in current patch!!! its hard. its really hard. its really really really stupid hard. dont waste hours of your time trying to do it, just do the shade skip, but its neat to know that the skip exists lastly, mantis pogo without dash can be kinda mean sometimes. if you dont get it though, you can just hit the lever, savequit and repeat the shade skip. you just have to cross one gap now, which you can do either with a fireball skip or by pogoing that one conveniently placed mantis. its much easier to do than having to go back up after hitting the lever and with those safer strats, i hope you may try doing a low% run for real!!! its a really interesting category, it would be very fun to see psa: top low% runners ussually go through deepnest in the dark, before getting lantern. its optimal, but completely avoidable, dont worry about it
My b. I was doing the routing in my head and i didnt make sense Suprisingly in my first playthrough I use tram to get to city of tears so i didnt think of that.
I know, if you watched this video a week ago it wouldn't have been, I just was trying a new feature on youtube where ai cuts out the music so that you don't get copyrighted, meaning thr audio sounds a bit weird
@@MaskerHollowKnight i just realized something, and after doing some research it would pretty much have to be a low% run. So, uh... 6 bosses. The ones in the video, Hornet 1, Hornet 2, and Traitor Lord. It's possible to do white palace without wings, which isn't fun, but still possible.
@@MaskerHollowKnight idk if it's happening to anybody else but I am getting regular videos in UA-cam shorts. This was the first time I saw it and was confused
Yeah, you don't even need speedrunning strats to get to Deepnest without Mantis Lords. Stumbling into Deepnest unawares and getting trapped at the hotspring bench is one of the developer intended casual routes. That forces you to have to find/fight your way out to continue progressing through the game. It's traumatized a good many blind first playthough players.
The amount of cheats used is funny honestly, I respect you for finding out this but its so funny expecting a big brain save and stuff but then you just use cheats
I wanted to do the video quickly so I didn't try doing the actual run, in reality there is only one skip I can't do and that is the queen's station fireball
Technically, you can beat hollow knight with only two bosses. Because you can just skip uumuu by using a glitch. You have to kill a big jellyfish so you can get the big explosion. And by using tas, you could one shot uumuu. But you didnt defeat it because you didn't get soul. So you can beat hollow knight in 2 bosses
⚠️ audio is messed up for the first minute ⚠️
Damn the difference is unreal
Also in the last couple minutes
8:10 and here
I dare you to redeem yourself by actually doing low%
He should do high% (not the most percent, how to get high fastest)
maybe I should do low%, even the 50hour run
Yes you should!
@@slimehead1391 meth
me too
In 2:31 there is actually a very hard fireball skip you can do with 3 fireballs, so this run is techically doable in steel soul
Nice I did not know this
ua-cam.com/video/a0Cz_yEwroI/v-deo.htmlsi=SUpnWji5oWiB30K4 hard is a pretty accurate way to describe the skip

the minimum amount of boss for a normal player (without fireball skip, acid skip or pogo skip) is 5
9:02 *goofy ahh unnecessary fireball skip* 💀
btw love the vid :)
denitely necessary
@@MaskerHollowKnightdenitaly necessary
I meant definitely lol
@@MaskerHollowKnight lol
1:00 Basicly me when doing a Hollow Knight ranomizer (i feel you, skill issue indeed. and proud if it)
4:06 funny thing is that's exactly how I did it my first time playing. Didn't know about the other methods
Very interesting! I've never done a challenge run before but your videos make them seem like a lot of fun! Do you stream these runs?
no, I might in the future though
there's a dung defender skip where you jump into the spike corridor in the ancient well
6:50 you can get the isma's tear without the crystal hear, i do it because i dont want to get Mya infected
yes I've done it before recently in my stupid challenges video
1:44 what is that noise at the cut to the room outside of ancestral mound 💀
Also another two at and after the elder baldur
yeah it's my microphone idk why it makes that noise
If we're doing true-ending we'd have to add Hornet 1 and Hornet 2 anyways as Traitor Lord needs void dash to get to. Besides that, essence for awoken Dreamnail can be obtained from killing enemies (bees are easiest).
also the radiance would be added
and traitor lord
If you dupe dreamers using insane glitches you can beat it with just the hollow knight
1:43 why did i hear someone letting it rip bro
it was my microphone lol though I have fixed the issue in future videos
Cool. I’m gonna beat this because why not

@Sher_Khan_08 thanks, I reply to most comments - and I make sure to read every single one, I always have done
now how much does this number go up for the dream no more ending? definitely at least 2 as radiance and traitor lord are mandatory
pretty sure it goes up by 3 - hornet sentinel, radiance, traitor lord
however if you don't do broken vessel then you have to do the whole game without monarch wings including white palace which is barely possible and has very hard skips
brooding mawlek common in a normal playthough? it took me like 3 playthoughts to even find out she exists
really? I assumed everyone stumbled across them, ik I basically explored everywhere in crossroads before even finding greenpath
@@MaskerHollowKnight at the time i didn't know pogo up there and by the time i had abilities like claw or wings that make it easier i completely forgot that area existed
Im gonna try this but with dung defender because i know im not able to do an acid skip
oh yes, it's quite tricky to pull off
does he realize the skip in crystal peak was using howling wraiths not fireball
it can be done with both, also pretty sure wraiths can be gotten without a boss anyway
@@MaskerHollowKnight yah but u need ismas or c-dash to get it...
Are you sure that you can get back out of Harrah? Everything else here looks good, but there’s a hard save at Harrah, so you either need to be able to climb out of the water pit, go back through the dark rooms, or climb to Distant Village station.
The slippery walls might make it difficult to get to the stag station. I think you can get back through deep nest, to the tram station but I’m not sure
we have mantis claw and Crystal dash, getting back to the stag is definitely possible (I did it)
Man of mortal skill level makes hollow knight video and it's great
You need gruz mother to get sly and sly gives you the lumafly lantern
Not possible if you need howling wraths to get through the platforming in Cristal peaks than to get to howling wraths you need Cristal dash or Ismas tears and because you need to kill dung defender for ismas tear than it becomes impossible to beat it the way you sead you could
umm actually it is possible, I've gotten howling wraiths without dash or cdash or ismas tear before in my second ever video if you don't belive me

can the hollow knight do the final hit to itself, because then it would be only 2 bosses
don't think that's possible, never thought about that though
Can't you just get lumafly lantern and drop on from crystal peaks?
I did this..?
another quality masker video
All of the are
You didnt unlock abyssal shreik at 8:00 so the skip wouldnt be possible
you can do the skip with fireball
I would be interested in actually seeing this done.
alr
If you want to see it done then you can watch any low% speedrun since this is pretty much the route they use
At 8:02 you never got hollow wraiths so how did you do that skip
it's possible with vs also howling wraiths is possible to get without boss anyway
You need gruz mother for lantern or descending dark. Unless you can route in the dark
