I 100% agree Espacially when youve played through it a couple times and consider getting nearly or about 90-100% fast in my case of course i only did whatever i float.my boat but still my time was nearly 10hours for some basics and this Mad Lad Gets 112% in under 4hours its so insane
@@VitaEmerald324 you raise a fair point. The longer the run, the more time losses there can be, and the less total runs can have been completed, which also leads to less optimization. 10 minutes is still quite a bit for a run like this though
This man has the literal balls to break his OWN RECORD by more than 10 minutes... Thats absolutely ridiculous you are truly one if the gods in this game 🔥🔥 Congrats 👏👏
Glad I was there :) Absolutely incredible run. Always positive and big timesave on Uumuu (on a previous run he got a 3:13:58 losing a ton of time to really bad Uumuu RNG and SOMEHOW managed to save the run). This was amazing to see. Every split was fast. Every movement was sooooo precise. This is what happens when you are >10 minutes from the 2nd place. Great Job MonStah 🤩
The way he blazes through areas and bosses i had trouble with makes me feel inadequate. Well done, wish i was half as good. I never even realized spells were any good, they always felt like a crutch to me, but i guess that's why i'm making the comment and you're doing the thing. Happy to see these kinds of runs, jealous af
spells actually do significantly more damage than the nail so until you have maxed nail and good charms its almost always better dps to use spells, especially in boss fights where you can have one spell hit multiple times
For anyone who doesn't know, speedrunners use languages such as Mandarin and Japanaese (primarily Mandarin) to save time when an NPC speaks. These languages contain kanji, which are big complicated symbols that represent 1 or more words. This makes it ultimately much faster to read than English. Hollow Knight recognises this and makes the text scroll very very quickly allowing you to save time. Speedrunners don't need to read text so they don't suffer a disadvantage. Instead they shave a few seconds off their run!
@@MasttaGamma No. You still have path of pain, hall of gods, bindings, hunters journal and several achievements that aren't part of a all bosses 112% run. Definitively not everything.
I've watched your previous WR at least 10 times, always amazed and have been waiting for a new run where you beat that record!!!! Thank you for everything you do good sir!
@@Kitsune_Chara_CG While I have cleared Traitor Lord, my current stick is NKG. Who just wipes me out in under 30 seconds every time. I may just need to admit that I don't have the reaction time for it...
@@CJTheExpert Oh he was also a major MAJOR roadblock i suggest sharp shadow and mostly standing still after uppercut into dashing into the air with those fireballs always have enough soul for two heals incase you stun him my charms were Strength mark of pride sharp shadow and any 1 cost charm of your choice take the fight slow hes one of the Hardest Bosses Only one i struggled with afterwards is Pure vessel i havent gotten to Absolute radiance yet Hope That Helps Ya But thats just what worked for me i even tried with nailmasters glory sharp shadow once also went well its Up to your Playstyle nkg is a very fast And hard hitting boss Dont Feel Bad for not beating him fast i tried for many hours over a few days untill one morning where i beat him on my 5th try or so Also Last Fact ive learned from.someone else...everytime he roleplays a pufferfish so when hes in the middle that means you drained 25% of his HP Hope This Helps Ya And Best of Luck But as said thats what worked for me some people dont like sharp shadow but for me it got me the crucial hits (small edit in) having all 9 health is obviosly very good just sayin tho it took me a long time to to figure that out lol but idk just wanted to say it in the just incase scenerio xd
@@randommarble i beat traitor lord, yea. White palace kicked my ass for a while. Then nkg beat me into submission and I took a break, just before real life stuff kicked my ass hardcore. Haven't been back since.
You'll get there eventually. It took me 2 years to finally beat AbsRad, i kept saying i quit, but the knowledge that i let a game break me was unbearable, and i came back and did it. In hindsight, not actually that difficult. Shaman's, Strength, Quickslash, Heart. You should also be at a point where NKG and PV are just minor speedbumps with little to no risk of death. Every PoH attempt must end at AbsRad, one way or another. In the AbsRad fight, phase 2, don't actually do the staying on the bottom platform bullshit that a lot of guides tell you to do. Stay somewhere near the top and chase the boss around. She'll die many times faster, and there will therefore be less overall risk of getting hit. On the climb phase, don't hurry, you're not a speedrunner. That was a big problem for me, because i kept rushing it. Be patient, only climb when it's already doing a laser. Final phase, 2 shrieks and from there it's basically nothing, just a couple of smacks. Defeating AbsRad in the hall of gods once means you're ready for PoH, so don't waste time anywhere else, because you want your successful AbsRad kills actually count. I hope that helps
My first time getting 112% took me like 65 hours now I got it down to about 12 hours to get 112% but still have yet to be P5 and this man just did it all in 3 hours
Tried using this as a template for a speedrun strat. Sweet Jesus, this(run) is incredibly execution/memorization heavy. Took me 2 hours to get up to Crystal Peak. You did it in less than 30 minutes. 🤯
Wha- how da hoo bra Hable? You've gotten 2 dreamers, all dark spells, the shade cloak, and beaten all trials of the collosium in 2 hours. I was just getting out of the fungal wastes then!
Monstah doesnt post often but when monstah does it means the records have fallen
Well, gentlemen. Monstah has posted. It is a fine day

Wow you know you're an outlier when 2nd place is 10 mins behind you. You're a god at this game

Might just be that there’s enough places for time loss that it gets to be a wide gap

And with another wr
The "will he beat nosk to the fight?" In chat got me
This run was absolutely perfect! Just one red and it was " 0.0+".
Congratulations Monstah, you're awesome!
This dude just casually come back after two months with a World Record lmfao
Nice
MONSTAH I MISSED U!
Same
Congrats on the WR! Been watching you demolish this game since 2017. So glad I still get to to watch your incredible runs!
Wow, congrats! I'm really happy that there's going to be a commentary on this and I'll be watching that when it comes out too
Just wanted to point out that the Uuwuu split is called "Pure Garbage", have a great day y'all
Team Cherry: patches out explosion pogo
Monstahler: "Hehe vengeful spirit go brrr"
(Genuinely gobsmacked)
I love the word gobsmacked lol

Which in text and lore driven games such as HK, adds up to minutes
@@depagogd1426 Sure does
Higher beings, there words are for you alone: Damn boy, monstah's back and broke another WR
concratz on the new record. Always nice to see you making sure that fire knows he has no chance
In before the "didn't talk to Elderbug = run invalid" comments
I was gonna say didn’t bow to nail masters and others= run invalid but elder bug works too
I also tried 112% APB, but it took me 6-7 hours, and seeing you play perfectly is incredibly satisfying
CRAZY!! I didn’t watch the whole video but damn the way you play this game (skills) are unbelievable
You know that bug who entered Hallownest 3 hours ago? Well he s the new god
The fact that you can get through the vast majority of HK’s content in little over 3 hours… wow. What a gamer you are! Huge congrats on this PB
He got through all content, 112% is everything from main game and dlcs, this mans a legend
Yeah, I know, I was just thinking of PoP not being part of the run. But yeah, basically everything else
@@MasttaGamma No. You still have path of pain, hall of gods, bindings, hunters journal and several achievements that aren't part of a all bosses 112% run. Definitively not everything.

Yesssss. I love watching your 112% runs. Especially since I still can't get past traitor lord myself...
im sure you did by now but id suggest sharp shadow and or companionsa d just hugging the right top wall
@@Kitsune_Chara_CG While I have cleared Traitor Lord, my current stick is NKG. Who just wipes me out in under 30 seconds every time. I may just need to admit that I don't have the reaction time for it...

Hope That Helps Ya But thats just what worked for me i even tried with nailmasters glory sharp shadow once also went well its Up to your Playstyle nkg is a very fast And hard hitting boss Dont Feel Bad for not beating him fast i tried for many hours over a few days untill one morning where i beat him on my 5th try or so
Also Last Fact ive learned from.someone else...everytime he roleplays a pufferfish so when hes in the middle that means you drained 25% of his HP
Hope This Helps Ya And Best of Luck But as said thats what worked for me some people dont like sharp shadow but for me it got me the crucial hits
(small edit in) having all 9 health is obviosly very good just sayin tho it took me a long time to to figure that out lol but idk just wanted to say it in the just incase scenerio xd
@@CJTheExpert so have you beaten him yet
@@randommarble i beat traitor lord, yea. White palace kicked my ass for a while. Then nkg beat me into submission and I took a break, just before real life stuff kicked my ass hardcore. Haven't been back since.
Fireborn must see this speedrun, actually crazy dude, congrats :)
Amazing, can't wait to see you play Silksomg.
still coming back to watch this classic every once in a while
3:26:00 I had no idea that Sly could cancel his great slash charge with a cute lil sidestep like that!
Watching it after 5hrs of struggling with defeating AbsRad once is pain

Already had a world record yet got it again, godamn
Also wanted to tell you that you can save the grub on the right of White Lady using dash slash
This is on another level. Big Gratz Monstah.
Каждый раз когда засыпаю , встаю с этим видосом включенным
The madlad has done it again
I am sure this is cool but ever time I sleep I start watching this vid today I was 2 hours in
Return of the King, et cetera. What a fucking legend.
this video deserves so much credit
Ant queen in the thumbnail looks like they're waiting for silksong with s t y l e
The fact that you did this on current patch and went for the inventory drops :flushed: insane. Amazing
He did it again!
Holy shit you are dedicated. Absolutely incredible, you have my respect.
Ha! I’ve seen Fire try this speed run so many times. Then you come along and get the world record! LOL
Amazing
Hopefully the commentary gets uploaded to yt as well
3:34:43 - 3:34:57 He just went up on those platforms in record time.
Why do I always miss the wrs
same man
gg, really good run indeed
vali Okayge
Congrats !
Good job! I knew you could do it :D
אגב גם היוטיובר הזה הוא ישראלי מסתבר
this kind of speedrun is great with commentry where you explain stuff
וואו מאוד הפתיע אותי שישראלי עשה את זה זה מדהים!
Good stuff monstah :)
My man MonStahLer is so underrated
Yooo, 2 minutes time save, insane.
GG on the run you deserve it 👏
It’s really an enjoyment when I watching your video

Yooooo Congrats man

Well done i hope you keep the runs up 😥😉

Dude this is insane. I don't know how you can even speedrun a game this big.
Nah this dude monstah is just straight up on a whole other level compared to most these speedrunners
1:30:17
the correct answer is Marcus Aurelius, gnagghi.
That watcher knights fight.... *DAMN*
Tried using this as a template for a speedrun strat.
Sweet Jesus, this(run) is incredibly execution/memorization heavy.
Took me 2 hours to get up to Crystal Peak. You did it in less than 30 minutes. 🤯
"Master"
"Artist"
"Garbage"
Couldn't have said it better myself
And we are back baby, it's been so much since you last posted and I don't use twitch
THE KING IS BACK
Absolutely phenomenal
Amazing. My 112% file took me almost 100 hours.
I love how the pantheons make up almost an hour of this run
Yay, monstah posted something!
Very good job sir
Хочу сказать спасибо ранеру, вчера был экзамен по мат анализу, очень нервничал не мог уснуть, включил и уснул за 10 минут, спасибо смог выспаться.
Awesome run!!!!
The most insane fucking run I've seen in a long while. Damn...
MonStah dropped this godly record and disappeared after ascending with gorb
Sad I couldn’t watch live. Congrats tho.
You are amazing man the best one Hollow Knight player of the world👏👏👏👏👏
You did it again sick
Incredible run, earned my sub :)
All I can think about is how cornifer must have been running through the map in order to be everywhere before monstah
I think the guy at 12:00 spoke in chinese bc monstah has the game in chinese even tho he's not
The Return of the King.
Wha- how da hoo bra Hable? You've gotten 2 dreamers, all dark spells, the shade cloak, and beaten all trials of the collosium in 2 hours. I was just getting out of the fungal wastes then!
3:33:41 - finally boss (absolute radiance)
Absolute legend.
Maybe you'll give em a world record at GDQ one year. 👀
JESUS IM SO GOD DAMN IMPRESSED DUDE!! FUCKIN WELL DONE
this guy is the hollow knight him self someone need to chain him. he literately bullied the whole game....RESPECT
I bet your hands hurt by the end of this lol. Good job!!!
