One of my favourite games of all time. Happy to see you try it and really hope you'll finish it, even if off camera it's more than worth it. Make sure to pay attention to game's lore. It has quite a few parallels to the lore of Dark souls BTW
Can’t wait for silksong lol. However the more we wait the better the game will turn out, team cherry is gonna get a HUGE amount of money from silksong. 💀
@@Icekaiser i mean idk i haven't played it personally but i have played dark souls, and i can see clear parallels between artorias and hollow knight, i wouldn't be surprised if it had a few with bloodborne
THIS IS AMAZING I would love to see more of this. Also the a metroidvania often has a bunch of paths that will be blocked until you progress somewhere else and get a ability to pass the obstacle. Also last tip you can pogo of spikes and enemy’s by swinging your nail down while in the air to bounce on them.
A heads up - there aren't save points in HK - your progress is saved after anything (any geo, location, etc.). It's just when you come back you'll spawn at the last bench
@@FileCode1459how is it frustrating? Also if you think it’s “cheating” consider that it is intended by team cherry and also that you can just not use it
@@meee_5155 it's frustrating when you're trying to get through a boss and you die and the nearest bench is still a bit far. that's frustrating bc you have to walk all the way back again. but i don't think that "cheat" i talked about is a bad thing, i used it a lot when i needed it, i just didn't know how to describe it properly so i used the word "cheating" but it's not a bad thing
Just a heads up - there are no illusionary walls in HK, but there are breakable ones, and breakable floors and I think roofs 😅 And obviously since it is a platformer, there's stuff hidden behind some more or less tricky platforming from time to time
@@darthnihilus128550% right. If you break the breakable Walls atleast once Per save they Will be permanentet broken like every single other broken Wall but it wont show it visually. The Walls are then “illusionary”
Always a treat to see someone experiencing Hollow Knight for the first time. As a long time player myself, I look forward to seeing your further videos.
This is my first exposure to your channel and man I wanna see more of this. Its not often you get to see a totally blind first playthrough and you're really fun to watch
Small advice: bye one type of markers (at least) from the shop your got the compas and the quill. This game, although there are multiple ways to arrive in one area, has a lot of spots you can t go to in the early game but that you will later. Markers allow you to always remember where there s an area you couldn t go to so you don t forger about it when you get a new ability
I like how easily you grasp the basic premise of exploring, and I think it's where your souls experience shines through. when you encounter a seemingly insurmountable obstacle, a lot of new player have a tendency to think they might just be missing something obvious, and keep trying to pass it. You very quickly catch on whether something is doable and just needs skill, or if you likely need something else to move forwards and so explore elsewhere. I really enjoy watching this!
This was so fun to watch ! Your humour, your commentary, and how quickly you pick up on patterns, what a joy. I'm excited to watch the rest of this series
Why does this only have 13k views. This video was great, can’t wait for more. Haven’t seen anyone appreciate hollow knight as much as you on their first play through. You’re the ideal hollow knight player and you’re gonna love the rest of what the game has in store for you.
Make sure to use markers, they make navigation SO MUCH EASIER. When I played through the game for the first time they were not a thing so 100%ing was pretty damn tough (actually it was 112% I believe 😅)
I do hope a second, third, fourth, fifth... Etc. part comes out soon because so far your journey thru the forgotten eternal Kingdom seems amazing. No backseat gaming on my part tho. And i do also hope that neither do the others in the comments (and neither do you. The creator) spoil any of the game (i mean by reading up on it or asking on sites like others sometimes do) hollow knight is a game all about figuring it out yourself
just letting you know because the game doesn't tell you anywhere other than the remap menu, you can use vengeful spirit with r1 instead of circle and it comes out instantly
i love this game sm and i will never get bored of new people experiencing it! i hope you play the game till the end. I'll say Hollow night has A LOT of secrets. keep your eyes open for breakable walls. Also, anything can hurt anything in this game, for example the balls that false knight(first boss) throw you at the fight, you could have hit them towards the boss to damage it. keep that in mind for your future fights. and i don't know if you have been there yet but check out the room above the entrance of Green Path! Also, a little tip, if you quit to menu and re-enter the game, you will be spawnd at the last bech you checked and all your progress will be saved. with this, you can escape dire situations like if you are stuck and about to die. also, if you die again before getting your shadow back, your money will be gone forever.
Possible (minor) spoiler warning! So a few things; -The City Crest is used later down the line; you'll know when you need it. -You should consider doing the miniboss sleeping in the bottom right; there's some stuff there that can come in useful -I would advise getting the markers for special places (benches, hot springs, etc.) from Iselda (map-lady in Dirtmouth); they make life way easier! -Please continue this series! If you need any help/tips, I'm happy to help! I'm part of the HK-wiki team and have beated (almost) everything there is to this game (for those who want to know and know abreviations, I just have abp3, abp4 and abp5 to go and have fully completed the Pale Court mod + RHoG in Pale Court and with AIKG), so if your in need of advice, I'll respond as soon as I can!
@@chri-k Am I backseating here though? I think I'm just answering the questions posed in the video... Maybe I'm wrong though, but in HK, missing an area can create major frustration later on, especially if it's not marked, so I just want to avoid that if possible :/
I don't know what it is but something about watching someone learn things that already I learned makes me feel happy. Play through the whole game please it's a masterpiece +1 subscriber
Man I haven't watched a playthrough esque video for a while, I keep saving the experience for when I "eventually play the games". Hollow Knight is one of the only ones I can watch playthroughs of since I have actually gone through with starting and completing (sort of). Nevertheless, I miss watching vids like these :)
I would say hope you finish this before silksong comes out but it will probobly come out 2088 tbh so you got all the time in the world ( this is my first ever video im seeing of your content and its great 👍)
Great video. Pro tip: use the quick cast button to cast spells, instead of the focus button. I'm not sure why the game never mentions it. It's the right button by default
Some tips here i recommend to NOT GO TO DEEPNEST it is an end game area and also to try and get as much money as possible and there is a shoop keep called sly that is at the guz mother boss(the big fly) after you kill it go down and go into the houses to find sly oh and yoj missed a chsrm at the very beginning of the game there was a room that you could have gone into and last thing the city creast is for a much later area
I just beat hollow knight and if you haven’t made any more progress since the video I’ll say this your in for a rough ride this game puts your perseverance to the test
7:50 first rule of Hollow Knight: trying to prevent falling once underway will only result in falling further
BLG never learned that.
You just sit there and hope there isn’t a spike pit, acid or an enemy
Or if your that good and you know the whole layout of the map, you can actually stop yourself from falling perfectly.
when you miss a platform, you'll succesfully dodge all the other platforms till you fall all the way back lmao
@@witch6993every single time. Except for when you need to.
Bro just seeing somebody experience this as something new highlights how well they made this game. I’m so down to watch this playthrough
yessss me too
me too! this was the first game that i platinum'd, seeing someone playing this game for the first time is so fun.
I’d give anything to experience the game again
@@who_is_sora1 Well done on the platinum ! I did it too and I know how freaking hard it is
Trying to put the city crest into the tram slot is such a mood 😂😂
The prophecy has been fulfilled. GinKen has joined us buggy bois.
after he finishes the game he will join the bone breaking wait for silksong
@@scorpio7687only 45 more years💪💪

@@scorpio7687 bro we're gonna get hl3 before silksong at this point
@@isuck6049 nah bruv we'll never get half life 3 valve can't count to 3 they will call it half life legacy of something else
I really liked this. Perfect blend of funny edits, non disturbed gameplay and voice cracks!
One of my favourite games of all time. Happy to see you try it and really hope you'll finish it, even if off camera it's more than worth it. Make sure to pay attention to game's lore. It has quite a few parallels to the lore of Dark souls BTW

Recommend to watch Mossbag’s lore video
@@witha1 Not even close but ye
@@Icekaiser i mean idk i haven't played it personally but i have played dark souls, and i can see clear parallels between artorias and hollow knight, i wouldn't be surprised if it had a few with bloodborne
I love the subtle detail that the shielded bug in the beginning, raises his shield upwards indicating that you could attack downwards.

A heads up - there aren't save points in HK - your progress is saved after anything (any geo, location, etc.). It's just when you come back you'll spawn at the last bench
this can be frustrating most of the times, but it can also be a "cheating" way to get somewhere faster after completing a task far away
@@FileCode1459how is it frustrating? Also if you think it’s “cheating” consider that it is intended by team cherry and also that you can just not use it
@@meee_5155 it's frustrating when you're trying to get through a boss and you die and the nearest bench is still a bit far. that's frustrating bc you have to walk all the way back again. but i don't think that "cheat" i talked about is a bad thing, i used it a lot when i needed it, i just didn't know how to describe it properly so i used the word "cheating" but it's not a bad thing
@@FileCode1459 yeah, I understand that. The purpose is to slow down the pace though. A boss fight is very different if you can just retry immediately.
@@meee_5155 true, makes sense. i wasn't used to this experience
Just a heads up - there are no illusionary walls in HK, but there are breakable ones, and breakable floors and I think roofs 😅
And obviously since it is a platformer, there's stuff hidden behind some more or less tricky platforming from time to time
There is infact illusionary walls that you can just pass through to reveal without breaking them
I think the path of pain and some hive entrances are actually completely hidden instead of with a breakable, different looking wall
@@Backfisch5927nah, all the entrances to the hive are breakable, same with path of pain
@@Backfisch5927path of pain doesn’t look different but you have to break it. After you break it it might become illusory I don’t remember

ONE OF US! HOLLOW KNIGHT IS PEAK!!!
I always love watching people experience games I really enjoy for the first time. Also, extra points for the Professor Layton background music
Huge Hollow Knight fan, I like your editing and can't wait for the next part.
Keep playing this is only the begining in a little bit the game gets WAAAY BETTER
Always fun to see how ppl approach the game the first time. Every playthrough is unique
Seeing someone experience this game for the first time is amazing, and really reawakens the magic of the game for me! subbed

Yep 112%
This game can get like that but I can happily admit I got lost more than I needed to as I never actually got any of those pins
background music is peak tier, good luck finding your way
You are very fun, bubbly and entertaining. Great positivity and humor, memes and editing.
Love and blessings!
i finished steel soul on 100% just today and found this video on recommended. its just so cool to watch someone play this game for the first time
I do hope a second, third, fourth, fifth... Etc. part comes out soon because so far your journey thru the forgotten eternal Kingdom seems amazing.

We got a desolate kingdom rotting away slowly due to its ruler attempting to stagnate the cycles of the world. Now doesn't that sound familiar.
Just discovered you with this video and I really love it! I hope I get to watch more!
just letting you know because the game doesn't tell you anywhere other than the remap menu, you can use vengeful spirit with r1 instead of circle and it comes out instantly
only saves some frames, but yes you should always use quick-cast for spells, make the muscle memory asap
Love how first time you see him and you already know poor thing is traumatised xd
Loved the videooo, hope you keep uploading videos od this beautifull game!!

Hollow knight is prob my favorite game of all time, and I’m so happy that even more people are getting into it as we wait for silksong
It feels nice watching a noob experience hollow knight for first time
When silk song play through🧌🧌🧌
Your channel is about to blow up: this content is fire and hollow knight is amazing
Please make more videos. This is my favorite game. I will watch every hollow knight video
I requiere a full series of this
Honestly i love watching new players,definitely got me hooked
Possible (minor) spoiler warning!
So a few things;
-The City Crest is used later down the line; you'll know when you need it.
-You should consider doing the miniboss sleeping in the bottom right; there's some stuff there that can come in useful
-I would advise getting the markers for special places (benches, hot springs, etc.) from Iselda (map-lady in Dirtmouth); they make life way easier!
-Please continue this series! If you need any help/tips, I'm happy to help!

ok, you have my subscribe, let's relieave his enjoyment bros while waiting for Silksong
19:26 Yeah in my first playthrough that confused me too. They use the word "slot" for both things but they're totally unrelated.
Cool.
Just when I wanted to start my video series.
But actually I think its cool that you play it now.
Please more of this 😂😭 that was amazing.
I would say hope you finish this before silksong comes out but it will probobly come out 2088 tbh so you got all the time in the world ( this is my first ever video im seeing of your content and its great 👍)
Nice video, please continue playing!
Welcome to the wait for Silksong. This should be fun to watch.
3:13 bro the smash sound effects(?) absolutely killed me LMAO
Hollow knight is literally the closest game to perfection
I really enjoy your editing style! Have fun with hollow knight 😁
take a shot every time he says 'ignore the voice crack'
Great video. Pro tip: use the quick cast button to cast spells, instead of the focus button. I'm not sure why the game never mentions it. It's the right button by default
Love the Dark Cloud ost snippets
19:20 if that scares you your gonna love this one area down the track
knox goess brrrrrrr
Tell me a better combo than Hollow knight and Professor Layton music

welcome to the hellish wait of silksong
Nice video. U r cool. Subscribed 👍
i was wondering why i kept getting deja vu
its because you totally remind me of merg with your sound effects lmao- cool video
This felt so nostalgic to watch
As a one piece fan that Gold Roger edit was great.
Pls do more of this I am begging you
Hey when i fist played this game years ago i only used the joystick but use whatevers most comfortable
Please finish the game! Hollow knight is one of my favorite games of all time! I really hope you play up to some of the harder challenges!
"Dirt mound" well, he's not wrong.
I 112% this game on my phone gotta be my favourite game of all time
Pleaaaase more Hollow Knight
"City Crest" will be useful way later in the game (around the 50% mark)
i'd say 25% 35%.
Nah not that late
I think it's around 20% when it becomes useful for once.
Guys I think he needs us to ignore his voicecrack
W vid
funny how he thinks soul is currency because of souls games
