What about...

But.. But..
He killed all the enemies..
In his JSAB playthrough he did pacifist ;)

@@tubbyqueen Merg hesitates to kill them, is what the comment means
I'm definitely watching this entire playthrough, and although I'm VERY late to this and you may not read this, I want you to know that you're by far my favourite UA-camr. The games you play always hit the spot for me.
I'm currently going through Hollow Knight myself, and watching your genuine reactions to the parts I've been through already is a great experience.
So, thanks for being you.
Thank you so much for your comment! ^^
I'm glad you're enjoying the series. And have fun with Hollow Knight! It's an amazing game.
That nice
Yeah very nice of merg
I'm doing exactly the same as you right now :)
This is wholesome.
the downwards attack lets you bounce on enemies, spikes, and even those immortal worms
and btw, kinda like in celeste, attack most of the walls you find, the might be breakable
I used the down slash to bounce to something that would normally be unreachable at that point in the game!
"This seems like it will be big"
Boy wouldnt you want to know how big the whole game is
Finally you played it, I’m so glad, and especially since it’s by team cherry, definitely a perfect game for you
YoS
The Gravity Breaker yep but he is late
Is he going to play silk song
Look merg I think he is your biggest fan
I know that mk is not his type but I wish he will play mk11 for some celebration in the future
"I assume this is the Hollow Knight!"
Boy was he wrong
Hollow knight is easy... but pure vessel? Idts
Well technically he is A hollow knight, not THE hollow knight
It's never taught to you, but the single most important mechanic in this game is the ability to down slash an enemy or spike to pogo. get really good at doing that. also i didnt think youd ever play this. i am the big happy c:
I am the big happy too now that I've discovered Merg :'3
I am biggest happy C:
Everyone is the big happi (:
I'm big sad, because I remember watching this at the beginning when this came out
It’s not directly taught to you but the only way to use the mushroom things in fungle waste is to pogo on them so it teaches you there
I'm a simple person.
I see Hollow Knight, I click.
I see Merg I click faster then the speed of light

"so healing is free basically" I wonder how long it's gonna take for him to choke to death on those words
Even if this isn’t a full series, you will love this game. I’ve played for over 60 hours and almost every hour filled me with joy. I’ve still got things to complete as well.
Cherry Beings, these words are for you alone.
Bam.
Merg: i think that's our main character, the hollow knight
me: *laughs in full lore understanding*
So true....
Lmao
lmao same
Same bru same
Can someone explain to me i never heard about this game
1:36 "I presume this is hollow knight"
people who completed the game: uhh yea ;)
yeah..... its totally the hollow knight ;) ;)
Yea... uh it’s totally not the final boss
The next hollow knight
Well, admit it guys, In our very 1st playtrough we tought we're playing as the Hollow Knight! Well, that's my tought
Stop with the spoilers in the comments
This comment is for basic tips for you to get better at Hollow Knight
- You can hit downwards by jumping and pressing down with attack included. This is useful to jump upon enemies or to get upwards/forward movement by hitting spikes.
- Save all geo (your currency* you can and try not to lose it in early game. By endgame geo is not a problem but in early game you need it A LOT.
- Check every corner through every area you can, that way you wont miss anything and also save all the worms (Grubs ingame name).
- When you get charms try to use multiple ones that work together as a good build.
- Don't be afraid to use spells when you unlock them. They are very powerful and many times soul is more worth to use for damage rather than healing.
- Last and most important enjoy your Hollow Knight play through throught the wast ruined kingdom of Hallownest!
Thank you im about to start the game and just wanted an introduction from merg
The moment has come for Merg to experience one of the best hand-crafted games of all time.
Go Team Cherry!
Keep in mind, Hollow Knight is FULL of secrets. And there will be a decent amount of backtracking. Peel your eyes.
There is never a part of the level that exists for zero reason.
Well land of storms is kinda useless
Except for that spider guy in deepnests infection room. He was easy to beat. He was so easy I wont even say his name.
*most levels*
FFS DEEPNEST EXISTS JUST TO MAKE US HURT
@@Firefly256 Land of storms is useless gameplay/progress wise. But its a pretty cool reward after you get it. Plus if you're interested in the lore of the godseekers or the lore in general its a pretty mysterious place.
The area of palace grounds where the stag is but before there was a stag there
Your voice is adorable ngl
When you were closing in on false knight I was sitting there like a parent who watches their kid open Christmas presents
Just watched your entire series of this game! So much, that now I cant find another youtuber that covered it with as much patience and as nicely as you...so I'm going to start from the beginning all over again! Thank you for being you, Merg!
Okay, you seem to have watched this series already. Is this a 100% / 112% run? I want to watch complete runs, as so much of the game is optional.
@@AddzyKishoore yes it is a 112 or at least I think. he does to PoH so theres that

I love this series that I rewatched it 3 times, can't want for your silk song gameplay

I mean he really plays awesome games all the time and also why the heck not just say this youtuber is just being awesome
He plays undertale and undertake fan games
Awesome

Awesome
Literally every single game that I like
@@stupidlamb8686 whats undertake?
Alexis 97 it's Undertale, I think he wrote it wrong because the "L" is very close to the "K".
Team cherry: exists
Merg's logo: also exists
COINCIDENCE, I THINK NOT
Merg: "Worm, you're my only friend down here!"
Curnifer: "Am I a joke to you?"
To be fair, conifer still charges you for things, even his deepnest map, when he knows how dangerous it is. I get he needs to make money but charging geo when someone is likely going to die without your product is pretty rude
Maaan its been soo long since i saw this series and now im back. I like how he calls the leaping husks ‘jumpers’ and the other dudes that charge at u ‘chargers’ lol
FINALLY
im gonna be honest
Even though this isnt one of my favorite games this is the game I wanted you to play the most
Love your videos
*Team Cherry*
Seems like the game creators are Merg Fans :p
Wait merg isnt apple!?
My life is a big lie
You didn’t know merg was a cherry?
I thought everyone know merg was cherry
The name team cherry comes from their first game where you needed to eat cherries every 10 seconds.
honestly this is my comfort series...the game is so beautiful and your commentary is so fun that occasionally i'll come back and watch it again :) plus i've already played it so it's fun to see how someone else progresses
This series is gonna be the most watched by me as it's relaxing and passes time well, but it isn't boring
I like ur username and pfp
Bye bye
Yes they can be friends and yes
So... You're finally playing my favorite game of all time.
Let's just hope no one spoils the story or tells you how to play.
Honestly, watching this made me realize just how good this game begins. Teaching you all its mechanics one by one and naturally.
Yeah, you cannot see yourself on the map without Iselda's charm. At first, you will be relying on it to have any idea where you are, but later you will have the entire kingdom memorized and won't need the charm anymore.
Don't worry that much about Geo. Grinding it can take forever in early game, but in late game you will have just too much of it.
You can actually talk to all shopkeepers by going behind the counter. I recommend you talk to them from time to time for interesting dialogue; I actually missed this completely on my playthrough.
Have fun with the game!
Oh that's good to know, thanks for the info and your comment! :D
U have been blessed by merg's comment
Seeing Merg progressively learn the mechanics of this game is so fun.
I watched this series twice and now i see this for the third time and have already played trough the game i am crying rn
I'm rewatching this series because I loved it so much and just got the game 4 days ago because of this. :)
I always return to this playthrough because merg's reactions to things are so precious. It reminds me exactly of how I felt when I first played it. I really appreciate how much you invest into this game ☺️
this is the third time I've started to re-watch this great Hollow Knight walkthrough
I'm watching this for the fourth time now. Just wanted to say how much I love this playthrough. Your kindness and respect towards the game itself, the characters and the world, your awareness, genuine interest and curiosity, as well as the fact that you are a really good player make this super enjoyable. The editing is also perfect - imo everyone else edits too much or too little, but the pacing and atmosphere here are perfect. Can't wait for Silksong as well, I'll definitely be watching.
Thank you so much! That's really nice to read.
@@Mergthis man replied on this 3years old vid what a chad
I really love how Merg read all the texts ( not too fast and not too slow, it’s perfect for someone who is not an english speaker like me) and appreciate the little details! You are my most favorite gamer ever!
I'm so late to the game but I've seen so many hollow knight playthroughs and I can already tell this is going to be my favourite. This is in my top three favourite games and it's so nice amd refreshing to see someone actually invested in the lore/story and especially the characters whom I love, I can't wait to watch the rest of this playthrough and check out your other playthroughs

I came back waiting for SilkSong, and normally I'm SUPER biased when it comes to UA-camrs playing my favourite games, but this made my day. Thanks past Merg!
Hollow knight! OmG...
Merg you're the best
I just found you yesterday from the FNF Indie Cross mod, and discovered that you played Hollow Knight. After the first episode I can already say I will greatly enjoy the series. Your reaction to the Grubs was so wholesome, I loved it! Can't wait to marathon the playlist after the night. (commented at 1am my time)
I hope you had a good night, and have a good time with the videos! :D
A few tips: The most important thing in this game is to EXPLORE, hit everything with your nail, try everything, never miss a path you can go on, there are secret walls, enemies, and a lot of stuff that I doubt anyone could find on their first playthrough. The second thing is that when you jump, hold the down button and attack when you are over enemies and spikes, this makes you bounce and it's really hard to find this out by yourself, at the start there was this long passage with spikes, the only way to do that was to bounce on them. And a single thing is that you should farm first, buy everything, then explore everywhere you can!
I got Hollow Knight for my birthday back in October, and I was very excited, but then I learned just how difficult this game is to play yourself.
I'm not really used to platforming games, so that may be why, but I died A LOT in the beginning, I was struggling a lot with figuring out how the controls worked and how precise my actions have to be.
I also struggled a lot with the False Knight, died like 5 times to him before finally beating him. I also at one point died in like the mushroom area, and on my way to get my Shade, I died again and lost like 600 Geo. :C
That REALLY brought down my motivation to continue playing, coz I just felt so bad at the game, I felt like I could never beat it.
I did end up resorting to grinding against the club guardian near the False Knight until I could buyout everything available to me from Iselda and Sly once I got him, just so I don't have to feel too bad about losing Geo again if I don't get my Shade back in time again.
I haven't played the game since October, still kinda scarred by that loss of Geo. But since I know the game gets easier when you get more abilities, I haven't completely given up on it yet. Just maybe need to wait a bit longer.
The only upgrades I got so far are the first spell used to take out the... Baldur guarding Greenpath? And the Lumafly Lantern. I think, don't really remember if I got anything else.
The early game in Hollow Knight is kinda brutally hard, especially for people like me who aren't used to or good at platforming games, haha...
I didn't watch the videos for this game because I was waiting for Merg to play it. Now, my wish has come true!
It is very interesting and funny to see, how one of my favorite UA-camrs plays a game with that I spend hundreds of hours. This game is also one of the best games I played yet :)
So glad you are playing this! This is a pretty long game but it's very fun! I personally spent 50+ hours on it, really hope you enjoy it, as it is one of favourite games of all time :)

(Also if you slashwith your nail downwards on spikes, you bounce up. And thats what you had to do at the secret place in the start to get a charm.)
I just got into hollow knight, all started with seeing a compilation of you playing the game. Ive loved your content for a long time, and finally made a youtube account partially just to subscribe to you!
Thank you for making amazing content mr cherry, your uploads bring me alot of happiness every day.
i've been waiting or so long for you to play this keep up the good work
Seeing all the profile slots saying new game really gives me nostalgia. Ive watched this whole series along with Merg. The first few episodes inspired me to convince my parents to buy the game and play alongside. I would first play the game and then watch the new episode to see Mergs clumsy reactions and interesting findings really made me feel like we were progressing together. Now that ive beet the game to pure completion with Merg I feel accomplished and I feel like Merg has given me an unforgettable experience. Thank you Merg.
I want to do this now but I'm 2 years late and i don't have enough money to buy hollow knight since I'm a dumb child
