Thanks for Watching :) Upon finishing off this video, Lep has finally beaten his time with a 31:52! These two runs are close to identical so fortunately the video is still 99% accurate. Huge congrats to Lep for this achievement!
I mean NMG it IS required, since downpatching midrun is not allowed in any HK Speedrun. Edit: hilariously it is now possible to do full clawless on one patch thanks to a discovery that you can Pogo on your own shriek. We'll find out if this ends up being deemed a major glitch.
@@narwhal16384 I don't really think including major glitches or banned software quirks is worth a mention because then everything is almost required but sure.
@@fink7968 Either way it isn’t a significant detail being taught or shown to the average viewer, and is just a fun nod to the people who know. I don’t think “mention” is accurate, it’s more of a passive acknowledgment.
Any% at its base level isn’t all that complicated. It’s the optimizations and tricks that can be more difficult. But even a mid-level HK player can complete an any% run (myself included), although it isn’t fast. You collect geo with a simple route, so there’s no calculation going on. You just need 1800 for the lantern, and (I think) 400 for something else.
Path of pain, not a boss, but yesterday I reached the end and died so I am a bit… upset. Edit: The day after this comment I managed to complete it :) Right now I am stuck in the Sage pantheon. Believe it or not, the hardest boss for me is Uumuu.
I've only finished the game once and have very little knowledge about speedrunning, but your editing and narrating made it simple to understand and enjoyable to watch 10/10
It’s speedrunners that got me into the game in the first place. And here I am years later, learning their routes, and taking on the hardest challenges that the game has to offer.
I didn't know the watcher knights was a very difficult boss and now when I know I beat it without searching for guides it makes me feel happy cuz it's my first hardest boss I fought
When I came back to Hollow Knight and did a second full playthrough, I didn't use any skips and got a final time of 12hr02m and I thought that was fast. Dang
@@slanyus That's respectable for a first playthrough. Never speedrun the first playthrough. It's a game that truly cannot be experienced the same way twice.
@@saysikerightnow3914 I feel that, I was really hesitant to play at first because it looked tough but the story and the visuals (and Zote the Mighty) are all mesmerizing. Definitely worth the money.
I was gonna subscribe and then I saw you only had 7k subs. My first thought was how did you not already have 100k+ subs. Your content is very good ESPECIALLY for an individual with 7k subs. You've earned a pat on the back
13:42 - I just recently played Hollowknight for the first time. And I performed this skip on my very first attempt at it. I immediately knew that I was not supposed to be there yet. Funny thing is that I went back to try the skip again, and I could not do it with more than 25 attempts. lol.
Lep neither invented this route, nor is the only one who uses it search 'hollow knight any %" for hundreds of others who run the same route for a better and better time
Just wanted to say your videos are very clean and polished. Also the speed at which you get these out is amazing. Keep making non spelunky related video. Also side note where do you get music for your videos? Is it all just game soundtracks of the games your talking about?
Genuienly god bless whoever found out about the crystal dash to fog canyon without ismas tear so you can go to the teacher without ismas tear or shadow dash cuz it was literally the thing that saved me in beating yhe game in under 5 hours for the speedrun achievement

Well that didn't last long at all
@Webula for an any% runner it definitely is lol
PLEASE do a video on player5’s botw any% runs, they’re amazing to watch
@@mayochupenjoyer maybe I've thought about it
skate beat it in 31:48 letsgooo
As a hollow knight player/speedrunner, I admire that you said “Mantis claw is ALMOST required”.
I hope you beat your PB on your next run

Love how precise this run is. Calculating everything down to the single geo really says a lot about the skill level required to even attempt any%

112% speedrunners: Let us introduce ourselves
@@blazethegame Well, you also need to be able to defeat Watcher Knights with basically zero equipment. So there's that.
@@JoannaFalkowska like I said, it’s not that bad. Once you learn some basic techniques for beating them, they become trivial.
“And promptly kills it in 1 second”
Me who died to it twice: ☹️
The final boss is a spam for me

he wasn't talking about the final boss but yeah, all you need is quick slash and he is easy to kill

Are we going to talk about the fact that the two runner-ups are Lepfan and Lepfoe?
It was a glorious tale

Amazing narration I love this game and was hooked. I appreciate that it's not overly edited to keep your attention like so many videos nowadays
Amazing video, hollow knights speedrun is very complicated, and you showed it off perfectly. Keep up the good work
Glad you enjoyed!
Great video! Well produced and very engaging. You've also got an excellent narrating voice, awesome video man. Content to be proud of
Thank you so much!
Wow this is so cool and inspiring for my own HK journey. Thank you for an amazing video! Really inspires me to try even harder on 2.0 😊
Good Luck!
yo 33rd
"you know that bug who entered dirtmouth like 31 miniutes ago, well he just defeated the hollow knight"
Sometimes someone explaining a longer speed run can be quite boring but you made it really fun and the time flew by
mmm, bug game
True
True
mmm, bug game 2 is still not out
@@JaceTheSilly mmm, disappointment, war
u just turned 50 hours of my life into “bug game”
Mom: “It’s time to go to bed”

Mom: “Okay…”

Your channel is amazing! Thank you for making videos
Your channel has so much potential, I can’t wait to see what’s next for this channel in the near future! Good luck :)
Thank you! more will be coming
@Pastryperson
Cant wait! Btw your spelunky videos have been so helpful
I didn't know the watcher knights was a very difficult boss and now when I know I beat it without searching for guides it makes me feel happy cuz it's my first hardest boss I fought
Go to the junk pit and unlock absolute radiance
I’ve never been interested in speedrunning myself, but watching these speedrun breakdown videos are a different story
This video is really well made, nice job!
Thank you!
Prefect editing, as always :)
I love how the video is made, I'm pretty sure that someone who never played HK could still enjoy this video
This channel is a hidden gem
"fireball spell" the more i hear him say that, more anger i grow.
its so that people who dont play hollow knight understand but i get your point
I didn’t realize that Canelo Alvarez s was legit at Hollow Knight
What happend to him? why doesn't he upload anymore?
Idk man, but I miss him 🥲
wow, the quality of this video was amazing, you’ve definitely earned a subscribe!
Thanks :)
I misread the title as "30 seconds" and almost shit myself from fear
The glitched world record is only 4 minutes off from that
When I came back to Hollow Knight and did a second full playthrough, I didn't use any skips and got a final time of 12hr02m and I thought that was fast. Dang

“he’s a cheater we all know this” wow chat is very very supportive
They were just joking around. The people in chat were friends and recognised people in the community
its tru i am a known cheater in the community, they simply hold me accountable
The fact you cant see that he cheated doesn't mean he didn't cheat. My eyes are simply better.
@@Lep_19 no way!!1
@isnialan6204 unfunny
"this time has been brought down constantly" *shows a graph much closer to a logarithm*
Never been this anxious watching a video and it's not even my own speed run 😂
if you've played past early game, you wouldn't have said that. 9:31
you ever heard of **the fucking sun**
who still probably isn't hardest
9:28 pretty sure he didn't take the elevators there lol

"No cost to great" ah people
Underrated, never thought I would say it, after all these years I finally said it, underrated
0:32 Wait that's me 👀
Hollow Knight become one of the most popluar indie games because Hollow Knight is such an masterpiece and awesome video man :]
Ikr, I have 350 hours in this game and I still adore it
And here am I still stuck on Hornet after 3 hours of continuously fighting her... 💀

2:34 i'am not a biologist but i'am pretty sure that they are not birds
Is birds there on hollow knight 😂
Watcher Knights: Exist
PastryPerson: "The hardest boss in the game"
*Normal playthrough, should have mentioned that
Lep neither invented this route, nor is the only one who uses it
search 'hollow knight any %" for hundreds of others who run the same route for a better and better time
I love your pfp, spelunky HD is my fav
1:02 PROGERESSION
Great video but I laughed out loud when you said "arguably the hardest boss in the game, the watcher nights" 😭😭😭
They not even close bro 😭
why does this only have 164 views at this time, this feels like it should have at least 10K views
Branching out content again, well made video.
All Major Glitches: Are you kidding me? That's insultingly low.
"Can't wait to experience the bare minimum play time of hollow knight" -Magalor
the skip to get dreamnail is probably the most fun skip ever with no worries
9:57 for the watcher I’m pretty sure I went fuck it and equip every health charm I had
The moment i broke a mouse on the white palace, was the moment i realized that this game is going to be extremely expensive for me
Love your videos!
The speedrun "True Ending" is also really cool, a little less than 1:20 of true skill to watch.
0:54 what is Canelo doing speedrunning hollow knight 😂
It took me 39 hours to beat it the first time. These people here are doing it in like half an hour which is like 1/78th of what it took me
It took me 4 hours to beat radiance 1
@@jimapel9560 Just for the boss, or to go all the way through the game and get to Radiance.
@@DemandingPizza just the radiance
@@jimapel9560 It took me like 35-45 minutes ish I don't know exactly maybe an hour
If he had thrown the chandelier on the guards, he would've saved even more time
If i remember right that trick is a time loss for the time that takes to break the wall, climb, throw the chandelier and come back down
@@code6652 you may be right
03:38 when i played HK for my 1st time i used the moscito a bit lower and pogo jumped from it (i thought its needed)
14:22 just a small correction, this isn't a glitch, it's actually the Iframe you have after being hit. great video though!
me after taking 8 hours just to get to soul master: “wowwie im so good!”
hollow knight speedrunners:
Love how almost everyone here is a hollow knight speedrunner/is familiar with runs and routs, yet the we watched this video anyways
2:14 Bro I didn't know Canelo speed run this sh#$!!! whaaaaat!
Just wanted to say your videos are very clean and polished. Also the speed at which you get these out is amazing. Keep making non spelunky related video. Also side note where do you get music for your videos? Is it all just game soundtracks of the games your talking about?
Thank you! I usually get my music from whatever game I'm making a video on with a few exceptions
if anyone implied one of my records was certified by guinness i'd be more offended than anything
They do it in 30mins and here I am running in circles in the same map for 30mins lol
BRO PLEASE DO NOT STOP MAKING THESE VIDEOS HELL YEAH
Awesome video!
fk that beginning. Minus for that
Speed runners: finish the game in less then 30 minutes
Me: happy because I finished hollow knight in 62 HOURS
It took me more time to beat the hollow knight with every charm and the pure nail than it did for him to beat the whole game. That’s insane
A bit sad how upslash and menu drop were not talked about in the beginning.
NO! I’m not here within 1 minute. Anyway, I love hollow knight! Thanks for making a video on it. :)
a huge respect for this guy
His input viewer is so cool
as a person with more than 200hr in the game this is the best video of hollow night ever
How The Fuck Are They Doing That
I’ve Played For Nine Hours And I Haven’t Even Left The City Of Tears
Genuienly god bless whoever found out about the crystal dash to fog canyon without ismas tear so you can go to the teacher without ismas tear or shadow dash cuz it was literally the thing that saved me in beating yhe game in under 5 hours for the speedrun achievement
YOU CAN POGO OFF SPIKES!? i got to remember this :3.
It's been 6 years since HK released? Godt Damn.
Me had 9 hours in my first run without city of tears or even getting past mantis village parkour
You deserve more subs
Excellent video on Hollow Knight Any % speedrunning 😎
Ok guys new video idea
“How UA-camrs made a 15 minutes video on a 30 minute speed run that took countless hours to be fully thought out and achieved”
Very good accessible video 👍
It’s videos like these that are easy to follow that help new people get into speedrunning
great video! (currently suffering in path of pain after taking a year and a half break)
5:37 it took him 17!! Seconds to kill hornet
This guy made two amazing videos about the best HK and celeste speedruns and proceeded to disappear
bro, i finished 3 endings within 38h and this man made it in just 30min
I can't believe you talked about pogaxe without mentioning it was called pogaxe. The name is just so good.
didnt they patch it so you cant lever skip anymore?
6:10 did you just call it Fungal Caverns, not Fungal Wastes?
Skate king has gotten a 31:48 since then and broke the 31:4x barrier :)
This dude deadass managed to make use of wcs
SIlksong comes out tomorrow
Yay, pastry person made an ollow knight video
No shot he said watcher knights was arguably the hardest boss in the game
oof that thumbnail (me when I have to do the forbidden pure nail strats (One Cycle Uumuu) (very worth it))
