  • How fast can I beat the true ending of Hollow Knight? The answer is a lot more complicated than you might think.

      @@Dungeon_Dunce2011 I personally beat radiant Markoth by only damaging him with nail arts in phase 1 (no cyclone slash) and then using shade souls in phase 2. I died a lot on phase 1 just to beat him on the first attempt that ever reached phase 2. That's not the say the second phase is free, though, because his flying nails are very tricky to dodge there even when you don't have to get close to him and you cannot miss too many shade souls or else you'll run out of soul and be forced to actually approach Markoth, which will probably get you killed.

    This is a very impressive run my best is a 1:16:52 since I speedrun the game a lot but I can’t really get better than that 😅 so to be newer and to get that is impressive
