Hey, Relyea, just so you know, there were a few times where you were confused as to why MonStah took damage during a couple fights. That's because with some bosses, their beginning scream stuns you, so you can't attack, but taking damage during the scream by falling on to them gives you back control of the knight so you can damage the boss while it is screaming. Just thought to let you know!
I am pretty sure that when the splits were calculated it took the cumulative time save up until that split, not just that boss. This would mean he didn’t save 18 seconds on markoth, but still an incredibly impressive 4 seconds, since the boss before was a fourteen seconds ahead
14:15 okay just wanna specify, it’s not the dive, it’s the fact he took damage, it’s a really good idea, he dived so that he could pull off more damage...
I think the dive is still required because otherwise you take damage and get pushed away before the scream starts, with the dive you are inside the boss and the s run out during the scream
Man, I love watching hyper-insane runs like this. I myself have completed all bindings except the charms one on poh (I really want the weathered mask entry), but I would NEVER be able to reach this amount of skill. Good luck in your future runs, Relyea!
I think shell binding actually helps the run, it let's Monstah get to one mask faster, so fury of the fallen gives a 75% damage boost, and blue masks don't stop it
I swear I've had teachers call the nurse on me because my favorite UA-camrs have uploaded while I was in the bathroom and I full ADHD zoned out on the toilet watching
Thank you again for becoming a member :-) I am glad you like the reaction videos! I will check out the video for sure. probably wont record another reaction right away
@@RelyeaGaming of course! $5 is a small price to pay for the amount of work you put in working 2 jobs essentially! Best of luck with all of your accounting duties!!
When you know you had the run of your life and you know that you are about to break a world record, and you know that Absrad is VERY rng dependent, you can get very nervous.
Man I've watched it before but seeing it again with you commenting on it it's like seeing it again for the first time+seeing my exact same reactions 😂😂 cheers mate
Hey Relyea, I saw you a few times saw "he saved this much time on this boss" thats not how livesplit works. That timesave is compared to the PB run so when a split says -5.5 that means he finished that split 5.5 seconds faster than his pb. A quick example Split 1 says -1.1 Split 2 says -2.4 in this scenario the second split only saved 1.3 seconds but compared to the entire run he saved 2.4 seconds cause of the 1.1 seconds saved in previous splits. Thats also why sometimes youll see splits in different colors. Dark green means you saved time and you are ahead of pb Light green means you lost time but you are ahead of pb Light red means you saved time but you are behind your pb Red means you lost time and are behind your pb Gold means you got the best time on that individual split you have ever gotten
This was a great reaction and so was the one for the any% former WR. Judging by that, if you haven't I think it would be cool if you watched a TE (True Ending) run
16:30 Too real too real. My play vs this run: see the "not like this" meme. FML I'm so bad as this game. He does the whole thing healing once with one mask. There's no way on earth I could ever...
something about the splits: they don't say what his time is compared to his pb for that boss specifically, it says how much time you are ahead/behind your pb, so when it has a ton of like -5 seconds in a row, that doesn't mean they are saving 5 seconds each boss, it means that after each boss, they are 5 seconds ahead of their pb, and aren't actually saving time in the boss
I have done a speedrun reaction for most of the games I have completed. Like Subnatuica, Ori and the Will of the Wisps and Getting over it. I will continue doing them for sure
@Rylea i don't know if you noticed but in the collector and in dung defender, he intentionally takes damage during the boss setup animation, and that allows him to hit the boss while its still doing the animation
I would need like 700 more hours in Hollow Knight before I could dream of trying a PoH speedrun. That's insane. The Uumuu one especially had me like: how???? I always wind up shooting the ooma right into my own bum instead of anywhere near uumuu.
@@RelyeaGaming I beat radiance in hall of gods, but never got the ending. Uumuu and markoth made me quit the game, I got to it after 6 months and now I can't even beat the brothers, while I already beat radiance oro and mato(?).
9:10 he dashes into the collectors hitbox, causing a damage tank which allows him to move and attack freely during the scream of the boss. This is called a screamskip and is also often used on dung defender.
For anyone wondering he had the shell binding so he could get down to 1 mask of hp left faster to activate fury of the fallen to deal much more damage much faster.
I literally watched some of monstahs vids earlier, then went and "TRY" to play the 1 health charm for damage boost and died on the first boss. Im 110% just need P3 & P4 .. I never see myself getting to this sort of level..
Sometimes I see comments about the fact that this is how the knight would look if nobody controlled him. Well this guy is already on a whole new level Ascend with gorb
In traitor lord, and the other places where he takes damage before the yell, taking damage allows you to avoid being frozen by the yell so he can star doing damage sooner
Monstah is insanely good at this game. I believe he also has an all bindings run as well as a HITLESS pantheon of hallownest run, both worth checking out too.
I love how monstah slashes in time with the beat after each fight, it somehow adds so much personality to his runs
I totally missed that! haha
Is the tiny masks that aren’t blue or white some skin to help with anxiety?
@@limitbreak2966 they are masks that are removed due to pantheon bindings
@@limitbreak2966 those are because of the shell binding
Yeah

You can also just open your charms menu at the moment the scream starts on bosses like collector or traitor lord
I was wondering how he did that,very interesting. Thanks👍
I was wondering how he did that,very interesting. Thanks👍
@@mindyyates3624 if you can then why didn’t he do it?
Did anyone notice that he called uumuu “pure garbage”
Well, it actually is XD
Yeah, it's because for good uumuu fight you need a good RNG, and because of uumuu a lot of good runs were failed.
Oh and nosk nosket
Ye he is and I’m happy now
@@limonlx7182 yeah i had to get all the ****ing abilities to defeat uumuu INCLUDING SHADE UPGRADES

This man isint afraid of the absolute radiance. THE ABSOLOUTE RADIANCE IS AFRAID OF HIM
Insert haha funny original joke about how he just used wayward compass
fact
Abs rad isn't the boss, he is.
And he only used 25% of his power.
He didn't have fury of the fallen in that fight. The absolute radiance was lucky she survived a few seconds longer.

Feel you...
Your reactions were so relatable! Whenever you freaked out i was as well, this man is just way too good for the game.
I remember seeing this and realizing fury of the fallen was maybe and ok charm
unless you can no hit boss fights, not really
you gotta do no hit until you get lifebood... sooo, not really
Finally! I was waiting for your poh Wr reaction for so long
Thank you for making this video ♥
I've been binging so many of your videos recently 😂. The trial guides are really helpful thank you!!
when the speedrunner puts on shell binding to go quicker: *confused stonks*
This video reinforces why I fought bosses nail only for 95% of fights on my first play through. Guys nail and maneuverability play is unreal.
I think shell binding actually helps the run, it let's Monstah get to one mask faster, so fury of the fallen gives a 75% damage boost, and blue masks don't stop it
BRUH i just realized 2 guys I've been binge-watched for HK tutorials are the same person lmao. It's just Relyea without mustache.

Same here bro
I'm *supposed* to be doing homework, but this is more important.

He didn’t even need to fight hornet, she just melted in his presence
So much power
Collector: doesn't move
Relyea: *surprised pikachu face*
The TAS is even crazier than this, it gets so close to getting hit but is so aggressive and always stays on the boss
I love your reaction vids. Monstah is insanely talented, what a man
These speedrunners are a "people are awesome" moments for me ngl . Wrecking the PoH is no joke imo .
He did the entire p5 hitless as well. Insane!
Even this guy doesn't look like he's really sure of what he's doing in the absolute radiance fight... he got hit several times in odd ways.
might have caught him off guard
When you know you had the run of your life and you know that you are about to break a world record, and you know that Absrad is VERY rng dependent, you can get very nervous.
@@istvanvincze7411 True!
Getting hit might be worth it to get faster time
getting hit could be faster than dodging the attack in those situations
9:12 pogchamp right here
Man I've watched it before but seeing it again with you commenting on it it's like seeing it again for the first time+seeing my exact same reactions 😂😂 cheers mate
Imagine being the godseeker and seeing this little vessel defeat all your gods in less then 20 minutes...
YES another speedrun reaction video! Monstah is absolutely insane with these things
That moment when he realized that the collector didnt even make it into the ceiling
*Almost 100k subs! You deserve it, man*
Hey Relyea, I saw you a few times saw "he saved this much time on this boss" thats not how livesplit works. That timesave is compared to the PB run so when a split says -5.5 that means he finished that split 5.5 seconds faster than his pb. A quick example
Split 1 says -1.1
Split 2 says -2.4
in this scenario the second split only saved 1.3 seconds but compared to the entire run he saved 2.4 seconds cause of the 1.1 seconds saved in previous splits.
Thats also why sometimes youll see splits in different colors.
Dark green means you saved time and you are ahead of pb
Light green means you lost time but you are ahead of pb
Light red means you saved time but you are behind your pb
Red means you lost time and are behind your pb
Gold means you got the best time on that individual split you have ever gotten
Monstahler is using a lot of introduction skips which is why he‘s so fast
he has over 2000 tries on POH btw
Jeez! that is nutty
the reason that he didnt hit hornet 2 is because she cant take damage at the beginning
Makes sense
the time saved is a total from start to finish. so hes saved 18seconds total by then not just 18 seconds on that one boss.
Collector: hahahahahah... haha... eh... *dies*
He kept getting shocked in the end he was getting tired getting shocked
I can’t even fathom the amount of hours it takes to get that good
Love your vids man! Helped me figure out a lot of fights in this game
Whever I watch speedruns I feel like they're fast-forwarded but they're not
I figured out why he had shell binding on. He has fire fury of the Falken on and wanted its effects as fast as possible
Monstahler also did a no hit pantheon. You should react to it, though it may be a bit too long to put in a single video haha..
Your reactions are actually really wholesome lol

Sending good vibes your way. Stay safe and non-stressed, dude.
Relyea's reaction is the best
no relyea, he can move during the scream if he takes damage. that's why he gets hit intentionally at the start of a fight.
As a non-speedrunner I'm able to say that I use a few of these tactics ( the collecter, guardians, etc.) but I'm still amazed!
Cool, the reactions are back! Let’s go!

You know, just to make you feel worse about yourself
I know, he does so much good things and barely no one's noticing him!
the time on the split shows how much he's ahead or behind compared to his personal best.
