  • The first 112% All Pantheons Bosses run to be completed under 3 hours.
    Extremely proud of how far we've come in this category. This took multiple months of consecutive strat labbing, reviewing runs, practicing segments and of course actually attempting to put all of that into 1 run. This run.
    Unfortunately no talking in this run, cause apparently I can play well only when I'm muted. I might do a commentary on this run some time.
    The occasional flukemungas on screen are twitch points rewards redeemed by viewers
    They're friendly, I promise D:
    Frequently Asked Questions:
    Q: Do you play on a controller or a keyboard?
    A: Keyboard
    Q: Why do you open your inventory while falling?
    A: Increases falling speed + Removes hardfalls.
    Q: Weren't inventory drops removed??
    A: Not entirely, they're just way more precise. You can only do them as you fall off a ledge. That's why you'll see me use other ways to drop faster, like cyclone drops and dives.
    Q: Why is the game in Chinese?
    A: Faster text scroll + Less letters in general, saves a good amount of time.
    Q: Why are there 2 timers?
    A: The upper one is for time without game loading times (loadless), lower one is real time (RTA).
    Q: Isn't the Pantheon of Hallownest optional?
    A: The category is 112% All Pantheon Bosses, so all the pantheons are required.
    Q: What charms is he using??
    A: Colosseum: 1:57:22
    Pantheons: 2:38:22

    Well, we have come a damn long way! Absolutely insane achievement, I have nothing but respect for your dedication! Well done :)

    I do not think it is an exaggeration to say you are the single best Hollow Knight player. Thank you so much for inspiring me, so many others and pushing the game far... far beyond what anyone thought was possible.
    You are a legend. 😊

    As someone who has played Hollow knight for a couple of years, its amazing to see your near flawless movement and consistency. Especially minor timesaves such as getting hit out of a pickup animation by an enemy that was lured into that exact position are an absolute joy to see. Its truely fascinating to see how far this games speedrun community has come. Huge congratulations on your sub 3 hour run and world record. You really deserve it. I can´t wait to see what Silksong will have in store for the Hollow knight community.

    My fav moments:
    00:12:26 that almost sounded like a club mix 🎵
    00:13:21 dash at perfect timing to prevent the hard fall + immediately hitting the mushroom to jump up + perfect skip execution 🔥
    00:27:19 desolate dive collection skip
    00:28:31 flying with the Seer :D
    00:31:44 almost dying to regular aspids 💀
    00:41:43 Lost Kin arena exit, that blob spawned at the last possible moment
    00:45:22 Golb essence collection skip + jumping up to the hidden station
    00:53:44 exiting the Failed Champion arena while killing him off screen
    01:05:05 No Eyes essense collection skip
    01:07:48 Kingdom's edge acid skip
    01:09:00 grimmchild kill
    01:13:39 Isma's tear collection skip
    01:18:16 cyclone drops (this one and just in general throughout the run)
    01:21:09 the mantis lords died so fast xD
    01:30:43 boss kill with three different spells
    01:38:43 nosk dying off-screen
    01:41:10 that dash downward
    01:43:36 primal aspid killed by a stalactite
    01:47:33 flying with the bee :D
    01:49:12 busting that vengefly out to use it for soul collection later
    02:08:27 cyclone attacks
    02:09:27 leading one to the other and then killing them together
    02:10:15 vengefly missed bc of shade soul
    2:14:29 this entire part leading up to Joni's blessing. So smooth
    2:18:22 flying past dying Quirrel
    2:20:17 considering MonStah is carrying the delicate flower that was so badass 🔥
    2:29:45 using cyclone drop here 😱 my heart almost stopped
    2:30:10 that difficult skip succeeding with the last attempt 😱
    2:33:36 lifeblood door opening + abyss opening skip
    2:37:44 MonStah having just barely enough geo for the last nail upgrade (how well calculated this whole run is)
    Yeah beating the bosses in the main game + beating them again in the 4 pantheons + beating them YET AGAIN in P5 - that is too much man 😅. My brain is frying itself just looking at MonStah fight them over and over
    3:18:12 that was so close
    3:20:57 barely dodged that fireball!
    Congrats on sub 3 MonStahLer!!

    Hollow Knight was the first game of its kind / challenge level I fought my way through (since being a good deal younger anyway) and was able to enjoy 'blind', unspoiled. Still not quite at 112% I think, but close. Having fought to achieve that much over many hours and through a metric ton of frustration, watching this I cannot imagine the amount of effort between the routing and execution. Incredibly well-done.

    Its a good thing there isn't a whole lot of time for him to read chat, I can't even imagine how annoying some of that would be. People spamming "noooooo!" And "why????" every time even the slightest bit of bad rng happens. There were even a few people who would spam that stuff even when he got a gold split because they don't understand how it works lol!
    Must feel great to have this accomplishment under the belt and behind you. I wonder how long this legendary run will stand? My guess is quite a long time... we shall see.

    Do you think it's okay to go for 112% APB as my first speedrunning category? This looks like a lot of fun!

      It's pretty challenging to start with 112% compared to other categories, but it's doable, I know of a few runners that started with 112%

      Personally? Start with meme runs! They’re often short and only slightly optimised, so you can learn the routes and actively participate in making the run better in an already existing game community.
      Once you’re ready you can try to use what you’ve learned to study a real route like 112 or anything else you wanna try!
