Let me know if you enjoy this style of challenge run more then the previous version! I understand lots of you don't have hours of spare time to watch a full run so that's why I decided to go for this instead.

@@FIREOWLHK It's a little bit crazy that everything left is obviously locked behind bosses especially considering that you don't even have dash or wings.
for thorns, there's a couple spots you can cdash off of. doing this is WAY easier than the mag skip. in fact, i know this bc i was routing this myself a few weeks ago. didn't know you could get isma's w/o dash tho, that looks absolutely insane.
7:34 somehow throughout all my time playing hk I never realised that the shop popup actually has a little icon of the shopkeeper on top. It's amazing all the little details this game has
That is so much higher than I thought it would be, very cool video. It'd be so great to see (Minus essence grinding) a run of this that then annihilated every boss in the game.
First time viewer here: I like the shorter videos because they're easier to watch during random daily intervals. I like this format, and I think a video between 10 to 20 min works well for these types of challenges. Regarding the challenge itself, I remember on my Switch playthrough of HK, I picked up the god tuner item from the junkyard without actually fighting any of the pantheons. So technically, you can get 1% from the god tuner without getting the extra 4% associated with each of those 4 pantheons. Obviously, without any bosses, you cannot challenge the pantheons anyway.
@@FIREOWLHK Ah! Ok, that would explain it. Didn't realize that section of the waterways had been blocked off by artificial means. Thanks for the explanation.
Amazing video man! And I don’t blame you at all for not grinding essence for dozens upon dozens of hours, I can’t imagine how that would feel. Anyway, keep up the great work! And I really enjoyed this type of challenge video, the editing was concise and shows what it needed.
You don't get Wings and Dive in this run, so even though certain areas aren't blocked by bosses (they're counted in the 68%) you still can't reach them.
You can’t get any upgrade spells or dive Dive is locked behind Soul Master Shriek is locked behind Hornet 2 Shade soul is locked behind Soul Warrior 2 Monarch wings is locked behind Broken Vessel Shade Dash is locked behind Hornet 2
This could be a speedrun category: High% No Boss and No Major Glitches. Although you'd not be able to beat the game, so Uumuu, Watcher Knights and Hollow Knight are allowed.
8:38 You can still get the 482 total essence from Whispering Roots and 26 total essence from Dream Nailing spirits. Though of course, some of those are likely locked off by requiring dash/dive, and even if they *weren't,* you'd still need 1,892 more essence...
this is like the opposite of low% lmao I’m amused by this 8:20 oh god the birds (though with the new low% route it’s the bees, and for this it might be the fluke tunnel, I can’t remember if dive is blocked by a boss) no suffering through the essence grind? that’s fair.
Awesome run! I appreciate the editing, it's so much more convenient to watch a to the point 10 mins video over an hour long version. Also, please don't do the essence grind, you are gonna go insane, and I think as viewers we would much rather prefer you executing new ideas over 100+ hours of essence grind.
Really cool video! Personally I'd love to see a little more of the most difficult tricks, just to really emphasize which parts of the challenge stand out and make it unique. But overall the video was very enjoyable to watch and the challenge seems very interesting :) By the way, is there any major glitch that allows for fast essence grinding? I know glitches aren't allowed for most speedruns but on a challenge like this if there's any sort of essence cheese (eg quitting after a dream boss to get the essence without killing it) then I wouldn't be opposed to seeing it used here. Save editing is of course an option too, like you did, but I think a glitch might be more interesting if others were to try this :)
What about getting spell twister by opening lower door in sanctum by hitting the lever though the floor or with dash slash through the door therefore skipping soul warrior? And couldn't you get shape of unn by using use map skip on hornet 1?
the dash slash skip was patched unfortunately about the map glitch thing, tbh we totally forgot about it. my excuse would probably be that we didnt want to use glitches lmao
@@FIREOWLHK By the way the significantly better method instead of using a map glitch is just to literally c-dash into the hornet arena it lets you walk right past. It is considered a Major Glitch :tm: by the speedrunning leaderboards though (or rather not something that's allowed in no major glitches ruleset)
First time watching your videos, and I have to say, this was very interesting. The skips were quite impressive and the effort you put was thorough and dedicated, I really enjoyed the whole thing. Just a quesgion, though. Does shape of unn require something specific other than cdash or isma's? Because I cannot recall something that might be an obstacle to getting it. Great job, overall. Keep up the good work!
I saw someone else do the isma's tear without dung defender skip. I wanted to see what was behind the area you drain his acid from without using the lever. I didn't use the fireball push but dashed from the nearby ledge to get into the correct spot. That couldn't be done here but now I can see what it looks like. I do like shorter videos though; 1 hour is a long time versus 10 or 20 minutes.
That's really cool I was actually wondering about something with completion% but it's actually the opposite of this I was wondering what the least % is you need to beat the game
You said 5% for “godhome things”, but one of those things is merely godtuner which is given to you once you unlock the godtuners cage with a simple key. This makes the actual total to try and get close to 69%
the charms I think you might have been able to get are, quick slash, and baldur shell, and ones that I'm not entirely sure you can get but think you can are, soul eater, and spell twister,
tbh its a smart decision to just edit the file and get the necessary amount of essence, its not cheating you just gained time because technically this is still possible to be done legit so gj
I know that i'm very late, but i think that once you get the isma's tears, you can do a hornet 1 Skip with the map, allowing us make shape of unn if i'm not wrong and making us get a 1% more but incredible video, you deserve at least 100K your videos are incredible
@@FIREOWLHK i think that no, a Major glicht would be go through the map, but this one just Skip the bossfight and you even can't do anything unless you have isma's tears, cdash or maybe monarch wings Also the soul Warrior can be not considered a Boss because of the soul Warrior Who is in goodhome is the one Who requiere the elegant key Anyway, this just chance the percent by two And i have a sugestion to a video that is basicly how many percent can you get without habilities ( kill bosses is allowed )
i think that aquiring shade soul is possible without any boss (the soul warrior doesnt count as a boss). also spell twister and soul eater also also possible
Don't you have access to royal waterways? There's an area with a bunch of little fluke maggots or something. They don't attack or even move, but they still give you soul and essence, you just gotta cdash through all of them, they'll just die. I think that's much faster than the method used in that 40+ hours speedrun.
@@tornadojohnson4709 well, then I guess it has to be even longer, considering that in this challenge the player doesn't have neither dash, nor monarch wings to kill birds faster. Unless there's a better alternative to birds in this challenge, it will take like.. Much more than 100 hours, I think.
A fantastic and fascinating run as always. I do have a couple questions: 1. Did you count Gruz Mother and Soul Warrior as bosses simply because they're in Godhome? Granted it only locks out an extra 3% (colo 1, Spell Twister, and Shade Soul) but I figured I would ask. 2. I can't remember seeing it in the video, but did you get Herrah? 3. Does the Hornet Map Skip count as a major glitch? That would allow another 1% with Shape of Unn. 4. How much is possible in Steel Soul? Iirc there's an Extremely Precise fireball skip that can be done into mantis village so you can go around the sporg shade skip. But I might be wrong.
1. yes 2. i did get herrah 3. not sure if it’s nmg, but we should have counted it 4. steel soul would make a lot less possible, but you can still get claw using either the fireball skip or dashless epogo
Even if they didn't count Gruz Mother, you still run up into Vengefly King in Colo 1, whether you fight it saving Zote in Greenpath, or neglect Zote and fight it in Colo 1.
Actually one of the % for Godmaster is obtaining the Godturner which obviously can be obtained without beating bosses. So the theoretical total is actually 69%. Nice.
A little suggestion you maybe should change the way subtitles appear instead of flying in (Use fade in or something else) and change the subtitle font to font related to hollow knight (or just the hollow knight font). I think that will make the video look more professional and more appealing.
You could definitely get a few more percent, such as the half of kingsoul, spell twister, (patch dependent) baulder shell (I remember you picking it up it doesn't show up on the final charm screen) shape of unn, and shade soul (patch dependent)
Wait, is there a required boss check guarding Herrah? ik she herself doesn't count as a boss, nor does her area, the only boss in deep i can think of is nosk and, while yes one of the entrances is guarded by mantis lords, the other isn't. Does it require a dash (or wings) somewhere, because you've found some pretty neat work arounds in other areas that normally require dash
a couple of questions - on the final screenshot, where is baldur shell? - do it on a grimm troupe (pre-lifeblood) version so you can bypass hive knight without losing anything cuz you couldn't do godhome or or hive knight anyway. - 2:30 why not just epogo? - i think i've seen fireb0rn shadeskip up to the back of the shade soul room ond dash slash open the door from the outside is that allowed under nmg and is it possible in current patch or pre-lifeblood
1. its either a bug or i accidentally used a save state after picking up baldur shell. its weird though 2. we wanted to do it on cp 3. epogo needs dash 4. thats patched in cp
@@FIREOWLHK 3. Epogo doesn't actually need dash, there exists a fireball only version but it is very cursed and also you can do a different cursed fireball skip to get into mantis village that gap to the right there is barely possible with 3 fireballs.
baldur shell was picked up but didn’t show in the final screen for some reason. shape of unn is technically possible but we forgot about that skip so we decided to ban glitches lol
0:54 ...Uh, just do the first one, then? There's no bosses there. (No, Zote doesn't count, and even if he DID, you can just not let him get to the Colosseum.)
Ah, I made this comment at the start of the video, and then had my realization and made my reply at the end of the video. Because of that, the UA-cam page didn’t reload, and so I didn’t see your reply. That’s kinda funny
Wait, does Vengefly King even count as a boss? I mean, it shows up in Godhome, but so does the Soul Warrior, and neither of them count as a boss that gives percentage. And Soul Warrior is as much of a boss as Moss Knight, Shrumal Ogre, Husk Guard, and Great Husk Sentry are. More like a miniboss.
Isn't it theoretically possible to get it if you skip hornet by using a map, get shape of Unn and then teleport back? Can't you walk straight past hornet if you have a map open?
68%?! So close, yet so far… Wait, is the Godtuner a percent? It’s godmaster but you don’t need to kill anything, and as far as I know the only other %s are from pantheons 1-4. Then we could get to 69%? Nice. (Maybe you picked it up, this was written before the video.)
Nice, Im curious what exacly are the 16% you could get, but you actually cant? I assume items that are locked behind locked abilities like god tuner locked behind Dive?
if possible, next time could you show, from the potential 68%, what you couldn't get. I feel like it would put more into perspective the challenge of the run, or maybe something like "due to this, these certain things aren't possible to obtain"
I love your content mate, but please start doing audio. It's hard to read and watch the video at the same time. I'm sure there's a reason why you don't tho so best of luck with it

@@Mushboom37 yeah herrah counts as a % according to the wiki
how does this only have 700 views
it was uploaded today
a couple of questions
- on the final screenshot, where is baldur shell?
- do it on a grimm troupe (pre-lifeblood) version so you can bypass hive knight without losing anything cuz you couldn't do godhome or or hive knight anyway.
- 2:30 why not just epogo?
- i think i've seen fireb0rn shadeskip up to the back of the shade soul room ond dash slash open the door from the outside is that allowed under nmg and is it possible in current patch or pre-lifeblood
at 2:30, you can't epogo without dash
@@RinRin72769 ah ok
1. its either a bug or i accidentally used a save state after picking up baldur shell. its weird though
2. we wanted to do it on cp
3. epogo needs dash
4. thats patched in cp
@@FIREOWLHK 3. Epogo doesn't actually need dash, there exists a fireball only version but it is very cursed and also you can do a different cursed fireball skip to get into mantis village that gap to the right there is barely possible with 3 fireballs.
I really like this concept for the video! What are the potentially obtainable percent that are missing?
its in the pinned comment
@@FIREOWLHK gotcha thanks!
5:07 he used 2 fireballs and he has more than half soul what
its a charm called spell twister
i use she/her pronouns fyi
It would be nice to see what wasn’t possible and why
its in the pinned comment
Isn't godtuner a % that doesn't actually require any bosses?
you need dive to even make it to the godseeker in the first place
This looks like the run for me.
Impressive
I think that With dash slash you van unlock shade soul Doors from other side
not on cp. not to mention we dont even have dash to use dash slash
@@FIREOWLHK Oh right, sorry my bad
Great Video but aside from that, isnt shape of unn possible to get with the map skip?, and isnt baldur shell also possible?
baldur shell was picked up but didn’t show in the final screen for some reason. shape of unn is technically possible but we forgot about that skip so we decided to ban glitches lol
@@FIREOWLHK oh ok then. also do you consider soul warrior as a boss, because if you dont you missed 2 items , but i assume you do
@@ilikecarrotz9094 we did count it just because it’s in godhome
0:54 ...Uh, just do the first one, then? There's no bosses there. (No, Zote doesn't count, and even if he DID, you can just not let him get to the Colosseum.)
gruz mother
Oh wait, you fight that Vengefly King and those Gruzz Mothers... Forgot those are still bosses, even if they aren't playing the role of bosses.
Ah, I made this comment at the start of the video, and then had my realization and made my reply at the end of the video. Because of that, the UA-cam page didn’t reload, and so I didn’t see your reply. That’s kinda funny
Wait, does Vengefly King even count as a boss? I mean, it shows up in Godhome, but so does the Soul Warrior, and neither of them count as a boss that gives percentage. And Soul Warrior is as much of a boss as Moss Knight, Shrumal Ogre, Husk Guard, and Great Husk Sentry are. More like a miniboss.
I don't understand why you wouldn't be able to get Godtuner. It's not locked behind any bosses as long as you don't steal Pale Lurker's simple key...
its locked behind dive
@@FIREOWLHK Oh, crap, you're right. I totally forgot about that, haha.
Isn't there a way to shade skip to the upper section of the Shade Soul room and skip Soul Warrior, or is that only on certain patches?
only on older patches or with qol mod
Isn't it theoretically possible to get it if you skip hornet by using a map, get shape of Unn and then teleport back? Can't you walk straight past hornet if you have a map open?
yes is it technically is, but it is a glitch
Can you kill the mark of pride mantis with deep focus + spore shroom to acquire mark of pride?
That's a good idea, I'm gonna go test that.
theres no way to get into mantis vault without beating lords, even by glitching yourself in, you cant flick the lever from the otherside
The mantis is imune to spore shroom
68%?!
So close, yet so far…
Wait, is the Godtuner a percent? It’s godmaster but you don’t need to kill anything, and as far as I know the only other %s are from pantheons 1-4.
Then we could get to 69%? Nice. (Maybe you picked it up, this was written before the video.)
godtuner needs dive :(
@@FIREOWLHK oh… :(
@@FIREOWLHK wait, do you need to beat a boss to get Ddark?
@@stalins_comically_large_spoon ddark is locked behind dive which is locked behind soul master
@@FIREOWLHK huh, I thought you could get the upgraded versions without the originals.
Wait shit I forgot you had to beat Gruz mother for lantern nvm
I have a 38 percent save file and i killed bosses lol
Can't believe this is practically 1 year old
Nice, Im curious what exacly are the 16% you could get, but you actually cant? I assume items that are locked behind locked abilities like god tuner locked behind Dive?
yeah god tuner is locked behind dive. the remaining % is in the replies of a pinned comment
if possible, next time could you show, from the potential 68%, what you couldn't get. I feel like it would put more into perspective the challenge of the run, or maybe something like "due to this, these certain things aren't possible to obtain"
yes, i definitely will!
Hypotheticaly, what are the things left between the final tally and the theoretical thresshold??
there are 16, mostly charms locked behind bosses or items locked behind dive. you can check the replies of the pinned comment for a full list
I love your content mate, but please start doing audio. It's hard to read and watch the video at the same time. I'm sure there's a reason why you don't tho so best of luck with it
im thinking about it. audio is quite difficult at the moment because of my setup but if i find a good way to incorporate it i definitely will
what about skipping soul warrior with dash slash to get shade soul?
it was patched out
Ah yes, dash slash without dash
the most useful skill
pog canyon hahahaha
