@@Nixter1337 anything hollow knight related tbh, idc if it’s speedrun or whatnot I’d love to yap abt the game and its mechanics or hear others talk about it as well
it´s rly suprising how hard it is do find a good "full" tas playthrough of hollow knight, from a game this popular i would have expected more. nevertheles great TAS, was a joy to watch
This is a geat TAS, I don't know how they work but I love seeing stuff like this (being why I"m subscribed) also I think a TAS doing 112% would be interesting, I can't find anyone that has done it and I would really like to see it happen. (I have Edited this comment 8 times now and there could very well be an 9th)
You can't find one because no one wants to do it. Even now with RNG sync tooling and more libTAS stability, 1.4.3.2 is still a difficult patch to TAS properly. Also it takes far longer without unique wcs movement.
this tas 1 hour in and done with the game and I’m in forgotten crossroads still 😭 also 1:03:20 will never not be cool to me like the knight just raising its nail against the literal SUN
What a Run!! Congrats for that accomplishment That Run had so many moments with Refined movements / Strats and it would DEFINETLY be great if you put your words in it. Also Merry Christmas! [so late lol] Excited for the next things you will work on ^.^
One part of the story I don't understand is how you do the Abyss Climb with all the movement stuff, when that was in the past and you hadn't obtained them yet
@@Nixter1337 A possible answer(that still doesn't entirely make sense) is that you had them for the climb, and, whenever you escaped Hallownest, lost them across the Kingdom
This is fantastic, and I’m sure that there’s a smart reason I didn’t think of but why did you not use fury or take advantage of it for lost kin and other bosses after that?
yk, I just had the thought, that because it's a TAS and rng can essentially be rerolled infinitely, would it save time to get essence from just killing enemies, or is that unrealistic?
also, it's just incredible how much work goes into these TASes, it's really odd how little recognition this gem of a TAS has gotten. I appreciate your hard work!
@@allegedlypagoda unrealistic most likely, we have way more methods now but it’d probably just be a mod because RNG manipulating dozens or hundreds of kills is unrealistic.
@@Nixter1337 ok ok, just wondering if it was possible at all. Wasn't sure if you could skip getting the soul tree to make up for lost essence from dreamgate, by just incorparating getting essence from normal kills, for example the queens gardens arena, I think if most of those enemies gave essense, it would make the soul tree unnessecary.
They aren't very viable, unfortunately. There are ways to make the VS skip more consistent but they end up losing more time than just getting VS. Also the floor skip is barely possible by tas with new breakthroughs, tas couldn't do it until a couple months ago, and even a couple months ago it was way better than humans here It usually takes an hour or two to get, even while TASing.
It loads the fastest of all HK languages, and due to how mandarin works, shortening multiple/long words into singular characters, it loads even quicker.
@@Nova5s the thing at the beginning where the floor breaks under you but he managed to not have to go through the spike floor with stalagmites cuz of nail knockback
Nah that’d be invalid. This TAS uses TFT manip and fps manip to get into the proper spot. The floor skip is only possible with the recent advancements made with fantas (where you slash forward but hit the wall behind you)
Yes I can! That technique is called Kwats (krythom wiggle acceleration tactics) It clings the wall for a frame, stops clinging, clings again, repeat. When you cling a wall, it makes a sound, so that grinding sound occurs because TAS clings and unclings the wall over and over, stopping and starting the sound.
@@ransan Hi! The glitch is called wall cling storage, kwats is a very specific method of storing momentum with it. It stands for "krythom wiggle acceleration tactics" and you can't find it on google because it's a tas only thing. The term is usually only used in the hollow knight TAS and speedrun discords.
one day i'd love to be able to TAS something in hollow knight, amazing run, i might do a reaction
Awesome! And if you want to learn to TAS, I’d love you teach you!
@@Nixter1337could you teach me about hollow knight tas? :D

There is NO way this guy got shade soul before fireball, that is amazing
@@nirakinos itemless baldur my beloved
Wonderful that a full TE tas finally exists. Those shade soul multi hits are amazing to watch!
pure satisfaction
broken vesssel: at last i can rest
the knight: not even in your dreams
The route is so powerful, dash first and then killing false knight for geo (and fc but still)
The tas itself is super clean too :o

@@andreasjanzen888 what do you mean? There are tons, from very talented tasers such as Jarlyk, 74v13r, CC, and Krythom, in many different categories.
That drop skip in kings pass was insanely cool. Great TAS!

@Nixter1337 what about a 106te tas
@@aweddellseal7882 Thats currently being worked on in a big project in the tas discord with multiple tasers. You can find it in #106 in the discord

This is AWESOME!!!!! You’ve gained a new sub :D
THANK YOU!
No probs
Amazing TAS, well done!
Glad you enjoyed!
Cedic slash is always my favourite part of green path lol
This tas is insane
nix video as a christmas present 😮
That uumuu kill was insane
that was perfect !
that is really cool. thanks
That was amazing

Commentary soon (real)
the cutscene at the hollow knight memorial doesn't happen half the time when I play does anyone know why
Incredible tas nix
Thank you so much!

Yeah it is confusing

very good
55:08 how is it possible ???
Amazing job, this mustve taken a long time!
Is no death warp in lost kin a patch specific thing, or is there another reason to not do it?
Too much time from freeze frames iirc
At 37:11 why did the knight shoot the VS right above hornet?
@@artemaniaco293 Those still hit the boss it was just the earliest I could fire them
@@Nixter1337 thank you for the answer
holy shit dude. crushed it. GG
I still find it funny. The perfect has still cannot outpace the hollow night. He will always be faster. It's quite funny.
This is fantastic, and I’m sure that there’s a smart reason I didn’t think of but why did you not use fury or take advantage of it for lost kin and other bosses after that?
Fury of the fallen loses 0.6 seconds to get and usually isn't worth it for bosses like that. Plus we take it off for wielder right after failed champ
I blinked and missed him getting VS
@@Ethereal_MC but…TAS never got VS
@@Nixter1337 thats the point
1:05:25 Good run!
Amazing video, will you do TAS all achuevements?
@@artemaniaco293 Maybe!
Bro that’s likes a 7 hour run with tas 😭
Let's goo
what is that glitch at 14:00?
Wall cling storage.

Great tas.
How viable are the floorskip in kingspass and the vengeful spirit skip for human runs?
They aren't very viable, unfortunately. There are ways to make the VS skip more consistent but they end up losing more time than just getting VS. Also the floor skip is barely possible by tas with new breakthroughs, tas couldn't do it until a couple months ago, and even a couple months ago it was way better than humans here
It usually takes an hour or two to get, even while TASing.
yep markoth
:grublove:
Why no death warp skip in the lost kin fight? Doesn't that save time?
@@junxilin8308 takes too long to take the damage iirc
noice
Did he just get to greenpath…without getting vengeful spirit?
Yep.
Something I've always wandered about, why do all spedrunnets use mandarin specifically in their speedruns?
It loads the fastest of all HK languages, and due to how mandarin works, shortening multiple/long words into singular characters, it loads even quicker.
@@Nixter1337 thanks!
@@suntzu1233 Yw!
The kings pass chasm skip just makes me rethink every hollow knight human run and tas run in existence. The amount of time save is actually crazy now
Which one is kings pass chasm skip? Everything is too fast, man😂
@@Nova5s the thing at the beginning where the floor breaks under you but he managed to not have to go through the spike floor with stalagmites cuz of nail knockback
@@HalberCon ohh ok thanks
dude please make a commentary version I have too many questions
@@ser4tonin I’m getting to it :(
is it some sorta huge af lag that makes kp floor skippable
Nah that’d be invalid. This TAS uses TFT manip and fps manip to get into the proper spot. The floor skip is only possible with the recent advancements made with fantas (where you slash forward but hit the wall behind you)
Is this 112?
No, this TAS gets 38%
Can you explain that noise the game is making when you air dash?
Yes I can!
That technique is called Kwats (krythom wiggle acceleration tactics)
It clings the wall for a frame, stops clinging, clings again, repeat. When you cling a wall, it makes a sound, so that grinding sound occurs because TAS clings and unclings the wall over and over, stopping and starting the sound.
This must be a super obscure thing that even speedrunners rarely mention because I find nothing on kwats when searching the web.
Okay I found it. It seems to be more commonly referred to as wall cling storage.
@@ransan Hi! The glitch is called wall cling storage, kwats is a very specific method of storing momentum with it.
