This weekend I'm marathoning Hollow Knight from the point that this video ends, starting at 3pm GMT Saturday. I haven't been spoiled and I won't be looking at comments here to specifically avoid them haha. Follow my Twitch channel here to watch it live & get a notification for the start of the stream: www.twitch.tv/rtgame
Rufus the knight, after killing every single boss enemy in this dead kingdom and uncovering ancient secrets: FINALLY! I found map guy in fog canyon and completed the map. game's over :)
"Yeah, I guess I'm okay." *Proceeds to go five hours before getting his first death, and that was to an optional late game boss that he was massively under equipped for.*
If we go by technicality, he didn't even "die" to Soul Tyrant since HK doesn't consider dream boss kills as deaths. The first real death comes later with the Mantis Lords I believe.
This man somehow got the dream nail, skipped the crystal dash, made it into fungal wastes, and didn't open queen's station. An...interesting progression.
Can you tell me how cursed my progression my first time was? I always feel like it was super weird. Everything up to Monomon was done with only minor spoilers, later I used a guide. My approximate boss + important item order was: Gruz Mother False Knight Vengeful Spirit Vengefly King Hornet Mothwing Cloak Massive Moss Charger Mantis Claw Mantis Lords Soul Master Desolate Dive Lumafly Lantern Crystal Guardian Dream Nail Xero No Eyes Elder Hu Gorb Galien Failed Champion Soul Tyrant Crystal Heart Dung Defender Isma's Tear Uumuu Broken Vessel Monarch Wings Lost Kin Awoken Dream Nail White Fragment (White Palace) Herrah Watcher Knights Lurien Monomon Oblobbles Hornet 2 King's Brand Shade Cloak Nosk Traitor Lord Kingsoul The Collector Void Heart Tram Pass Hive Knight God Tamer Troupe Master Grimm Nightmare King Grimm The Hollow Knight The Radiance

@@wyrmlight1168 SPOILERS FOR HOLLOW KNIGHT IF ANYONE CARES ABOUT THAT I find it hilarious that he almost does any% route but then just fucking misses getting the crystal heart
@@Ray-hx3rm Spoilers as well: I CAN'T BELIEVE HE DIDN'T GET THE CRYSTAL HEART HOW LONG IS IT GOING TO TAKE HIM TO REALIZE HE MISSED SOMETHING THERE. AAA. IT'S PAINFUL. IT'S SO PAINFUL. HE DIDN'T EVEN HAVE WALL JUMP TO GET TO IT. OR TO CORNIFER.
So what you're telling me is that his progression was: - Things are looking normal up until he gets the money in Greenpath to buy the lantern. - Proceeds to go into Crystal Peaks without walljump and reaches the Resting Grounds, getting the dreamnail (all that without going to the Fungal Wastes). - After all of that he finally reaches the Fungal Wastes and accidentaly starts the fight with Elder Hu (and also beats it first try). - He gets the Mantis Claws but doesn't do Mantis Lord (probably because he didn't explore any further down and went of to the bridge to the City of Tears to express his new freedom). - Things continue as normal up until he defeats Soul Master, then with a nail that was only upgraded once he decides to fight Soul Tyrant multiple times because he can't lose anything. - He defeats Soul Tyrant against all odds. - He goes to Kingdom's Edge and beats the first trial of the Colosseum of Fools first try. - He goes back for the Mantis Lords and after defeating them he goes into Deepnest. - He encounters and dies to Galien, then goes back and defeats him. - He makes it to Hera, kills her and ends the video by saving Zote for the second time and questions why he did it. All of this was in a first time in a aproximetly 9 hour stream. This man is trully skilled.
He did amazing in the other streams as well. Spoilers for the 3rd stream. He beat NKG before The Hollow Knight and also got Voidheart with no help from chat.
@@_.Dylan._ He got the better dream nail, guessed it was used to enter the mind of the dude at hidden station, beat white palace in like 20 minutes, found the white lady and got kingsoul, guessed he needed to go to the abyss by the dialogue of the characters and kingsoul description. It was wild.
beat hornet 2 first try, accidentally did several skips in the white palace, did colo 2 first try, did nosk first try, and various other god gamer-esque feats
The fact that Dan beat the Soul Tyrant with one nail upgrade, 5 masks, base level soul capacity, no double jump, and no extra notches on his charms limit just amazes me...
Same, I sucked at that boss, then when I came back I had pure nail, shade soul, abyss shriek and descending dark, Atleast 6-7 masks and monarch wings. Absolutely destroyed him.

I love how polite RT is during this playthrough. He greets everyone with a cheery “Hello!” and calls everyone Sir or Ma’am. He just has such a polite atmosphere during this playthrough, it’s adorable
“You can’t skip huge amounts of the game, we need to explore” he says as he skips huge parts of the game and key power ups. Seriously, how in the world did he beat the Soul Tyrant without the double jump?
If he finished Celeste it isn't impossible. RT has great skills. Of course i play since 2019 and i still have problems with Soul Tyrant with one nail upgrade and upgraded Vengeful Spirit (Shade Soul?).
RT’s ability to condense an 8 hr stream into 1 hr is impressive upon itself, but it skims over the 14 deaths to Soul Tyrant and chat losing its mind over how Dan is lowkey cracked at Hollow Knight Edit: was informed Ashtaric did the editing!
@@dusk3380 he does game for a living. As much as he likes to undersell himself, he is the butcher of sapienza, the man who murdered an entire racetrack crowd with a fish, and the man who streams new and interesting video games frequently. He’s gotten a fair bit of practice at it and a lot more pressure to be good.
@@jakebluestein4542 I play hundreds of video games and RT did significantly better than me and most other people I've seen play this game. RT was simply born for this.
@@PoyoPoyo2000 ok I get you play a lot of games, but is it literally your job? Do you make money by playing video games for the entire day, almost every day, in front of thousands of people?
@@peeelan No, but like I said, I've seen other people who DO do this stuff as a job, and haven't seen anyone as good as RT. Also, can we not make an argument out of this please. Complementing RT shouldn't result in an argument.
He second tried Lost Kin and Watcher Knights without spells and only the second nail upgrade (and on the first try he got incredibly close). As the chat likes to say, GOD GAMER! He unknowingly figured out goddamn speedrunner strats to almost get to areas like Hallownest's Crown without things like the monarch wings, who is this man?
RT doesn't edit his streams, the workload would become unimaginable. This video was edited by Ashtaric, you can scroll down the video description and see their credit and social media, if you wish so
Genuinely the only person I've seen go straight for the lantern and head to crystal peak, and then go straight to the resting grounds afterwards. I love how the game lets you take these alternate routes through progression.
The fact that you entered Kingdom's Edge, and more importantly, _the Colosseum of Fools_ before even fighting the Mantis Lords terrifies me to no end. I'm truly astonished that you're already so good at this game ;;
@@micah8793 I agree that P5 is a hard challenge but this was more about the platforming then boss fights. All of these make it significantly harder to move through a level. I am unsure if the flower should still be there tho.
Having a group of bugs surround you while you get stuck to a bench covered in spider webs was one of the creepiest moments I had so far while playing the game.
@@zeronothinghere9334 extremely good and extremely bad. He dies to mantis lords with 2 more upgrades to his nail than he can at the time most people run into them which is laughably bad. Soul tyrant most people don’t run into or try until they’re trying to access the true ending and they generally have all the upgrades by then, which is god tier
RT is the first man to go blind and kill a warrior spirit before dying. He is in a weight class of his own, he took on the Soul Master without dying. Then taking on an end game boss over and over again.
Whenever someone asked what it's like to have a phobia, I show them one of RTs videos, bc it's such a vocal and well shown experience of suffering from a phobia. I myself dont suffer any phobia, I unfortunately struggle with severe anxiety which has lead me to being a few steps away from proper phobia of thing. I cannot Express how happy I am that Dan can not only continue playing, but is such an amazing example
Yeah, it's nice to see someone who's just as terrified of spiders as me and is open about it. When he got into the Deep Nest and I saw the webs, I immediately considered turning off the vid and leaving it for another day so it's super cool that he can keep going. Just the noises alone made my body physically tense up. Love anxiety but with zero sarcasm, I love how RT doesn't let it stop him.
RT, regarding taking on Soul Tyrant: "Oh there's no consequence for losing to this guy. If there's no consequence for dying, I'm just gonna keep fighting him until I win." My. Fuckin'. Man. Right here, this guy. That was my mentality precisely when I first started playing this. I stumbled onto the Brooding Mawlurk before I even encountered the False Knight in my first (blind) playthrough of the game. And I continued to bash my head against that wall until it gave in. I'm so glad you share my sentiments with Metroidvanias, RT. Must stand for Real Tough Game or something. You champion.
You probably won't see this, but oh my god you're amazing at this game. As someone who's played the game upwards of 5 times, I am immensely impressed with everything you did here. I wouldn't have dreamed of trying to beat Soul Tyrant on my first run through, but you braved the challenge and you beat him probably 10 hours before you were supposed to. You found nearly every early way to get to an area before you were supposed to. You're not supposed to go to Crystal Peak until after Soul Master. But you did it. You got there and you got through it. You got the Dream Nail before Fungal wastes. Do you know how impressive that is? Before Fungal Wastes! You beat Elder Hu before even getting the Mantis Claw. That's insane. You even got to Kingdom's Edge, and endgame area that you're not supposed to go to for probably another 20 hours, and you got through nearly all of it. You got through Kingdom's Edge without dying once! And you beat the first Trail in the Coliseum of Fools at just 5 masks and minimal upgrades. On your first try! That's phenomenal! I am happy that I'm being able to see someone play this game for the first time. When I played it I spoiled myself to hell. I knew about everything, and playing the game was like seeing references to things I already knew. But watching you is like seeing it for the first time, seeing someone's genuine reactions, seeing someone not only be able to feel the wonder of the game but also exceed at it is something that I am very grateful that I get to watch. I can't attend the stream that's happening approximately right now, but I truly hope you see this after. As someone who's decently good at this game, I was impressed when you got through Crossroads without dying. Everything you did in this video, the insane sequence breaking, the phenomenal aptitude of being able to take on every challenge and come out on top. That cements you as the best naturally skilled Hollow Knight player I think I've ever seen. P.S. If you saved Zote in Deepnest before doing the Trial of the Warrior (like was intended) you can actually fight Zote himself as the boss of that Trial. I don't feel bad about spoiling it, as you did both of those events, but fighting Zote after experiencing his narcissism is very cathartic, and I thought you should know about it.
Hol'up, Crystal Peak is supposed to be AFTER Soul Master? I didn't even realize the Soul Sanctum existed until after I had gotten the shadow dash XD I suppose a product of my compulsive need to explore every nook and cranny, to the point I forget to return to previous areas that were off limits sometimes lol.
I thought this was everyone first playthrough. I did most of these events the same as RT and just stumbled into things as I went and only after I finish did I look up how things were supposed to go and was like "well I did that completely wrong"
i get the feeling RT's either gonna end up getting the first or second ending (y'know, the orange juice ones.......and also the ones you tend to get on your first playthrough if you go fully blind) and just absolutely WRECK the final boss like he's stepping on a tiktik while the chat just absolutely fucking *loses it* (...and then i'm hoping he'll come back to get the third ending and give the chat another whole reason to scream LMAO rip aki and rip all of us who played hk before and died a thousand times over while dan just waltzed in and almost pulled a goddamn steel soul mode on his first damn playthrough. just. fucking godly gaming skills holy fuck)
@@katsucandy my first play through was an 112% and I was about 106 in and got annoyed about p3 so I went and did the speed run achievements on another save file and finished in like 4:30
@@dekkonot Is it though? That would imply that Celeste is actually impossible for the majority of players. Took me over 4 hours to finish the path of pain (and that's on the second, successful, attempt), and i'm actually pretty good at Hollow Knight. If Celeste makes that look like a "joke", i don't even wanna try that iwbtb-tier bullshit
@@lred1383 Lets put it this way, I died around 7.7 thousand times in the post-game final level of celeste. Edit: that level also took me 22 hours. Would still recommend though.
1:00:24 knowing Dan's borderline crippling arachnophobia, to the point where even Lego Shelob is too much for him, seeing him enter Deepnest gave me the biggest, wicked grin.
Yeah, except RT plays so well that everyone was cheering like maniacs when he was killing Soul Tyrant with no upgrades whatsoever. It felt like watching the final game of a football world cup!
It's extremely gratifying to see your reaction to Deepnest, because it's a more Irish mirror of how I reacted to it, right down to the aggravated grunts anytime something skitters across the screen. Seriously. Absolute hell.
You know whats even worse? Not having a lantern and falling trough the crumbling floor, finding yourself in deepnest without a light and trying to go right to go back.
this man killed soul tyrant as soon as he was available, meanwhile I struggled when I had most hte end game upgrades. Nothing but respect for this mad lads resilience
I really enjoy the route you took because it really represents what hollow knight is supposed to be! An exploration, having no idea where to go most of the time, and you try and find your way through the desolate kingdom.
Sometimes I forget that RT is actually really really good at games because so much of his content is comedy. Then I watch him beat four HK bosses in a row without a single death.
Hollow Knight is less beat-based timing, as far as I can tell - it's more about anticipating and reacting. I think RT is extremely good at that sort of timing, just not metered timing, that is to say, a steady pulse. He clearly has some very tight reaction speed, though.
I like how he has it as “Day 1” instead of just “Part 1”. It’s not comical but also hilarious, idky
3 ปีที่แล้ว +22
Holy shit he's so good for his first time playing! His first death was with Soul Tyrant, an endgame boss. And the game doesnt even consider that a death
I thought he was playing this blindfolded so I was extremely impressed that he had memorized the dialogue and where he needed to move and then two minutes in I realized I was dumb and he was just playing it for the first time
He'll probably miss Nosk since he's located so far off-path. But I guess it's for the greater good as I'm certain RT wouldn't mind never knowing who Nosk is.
By the end of the year, every content creator will have posted a Hollow Knight video, and I’m here for it. I will watch people play this game on repeat until Silk Song comes out.
Thank you so much for streaming this game, RTGame. I tried out Hollow Knight awhile ago, but I didn't know that much about it and I got overwhelmed so I dropped it and haven't played it for a year or so. Watching this finally gave me the motivation to play it to the end and I don't regret it a bit. Thank you 💙
It took him SO LONG to die the first time. One of the mods was SO angry. And the dream death doesn't count, because steel soul mode doesn't count it. His first true death, was the mantis lords. Also, I can't wait for him to try the Path of Pain.
You know, I'm really impressed with Dan's run of this game. While the game focuses heavily on exploration, most playthroughs are near identical until players get the mantis claw and venture into the city of tears. However, Dan managed to get the dream nail, go to fog canyon, fight and beat elder hu, and get the lantern all before even setting foot in the city! Just goes to show that everybody plays the same game differently, and I'm really looking forward to where he goes next.
Actually kind of reminds me of how I went to the city way before I got the claw...couldn’t explore it all of course. But after I defeated the mantis lords I went to deep nest and then forgot about the city for a while. Not as unique as RT but it was amazing being enchanted by the curiosity of deepnest that I fucked around there for a while.
........................tbf you can get the dream nail before the dash. i know this for a fact. don't. don't ask how i know ......you can probably get it before vengeful spirit too tbh
Haha, RT’s gonna have such a hard time with Hornet, just like every other streamer it’s gonna take him at least 5 tri- _beats her in one attempt_ ... fellas do we have the second coming of Relyea here?
STAY CALM EVERYONE, ITS HAPPENING! Hollowknight is one of my favourite games and one of the only for me to 100 percent (or 112 percent in this case). I cannot wait to see the full play through of this, especially certain areas. Hope you enjoy it as much as I did.

- After all of that he finally reaches the Fungal Wastes and accidentaly starts the fight with Elder Hu (and also beats it first try).
- He gets the Mantis Claws but doesn't do Mantis Lord (probably because he didn't explore any further down and went of to the bridge to the City of Tears to express his new freedom).
- Things continue as normal up until he defeats Soul Master, then with a nail that was only upgraded once he decides to fight Soul Tyrant multiple times because he can't lose anything.
- He defeats Soul Tyrant against all odds.
- He goes to Kingdom's Edge and beats the first trial of the Colosseum of Fools first try.

You... can get monarch wings... BEFORE FIGHTING SOUL MASTER?!?

@@Robin_Glorb oh. That actually explains a lot.
I did it on my first playthrough. It took me like two hours but if your jumps are *really* precise it's absolutely possible.
RT’s ability to condense an 8 hr stream into 1 hr is impressive upon itself, but it skims over the 14 deaths to Soul Tyrant and chat losing its mind over how Dan is lowkey cracked at Hollow Knight
Edit: was informed Ashtaric did the editing!
He really is
He beat Colosseum of fools
It says in the description that Ashtaric edited this and put it together. Congratulate her for this, not RT.
@@TheFirstCurse1This comment is old but thanks for the heads up!
RT's first time performance is just beyond top tier, better than my own with 100 hours in the game at times
I know right? I just did my first playthrough a week ago and at the end I thought I was ok at the game. Now I just feel bad :).
@@dusk3380 he does game for a living. As much as he likes to undersell himself, he is the butcher of sapienza, the man who murdered an entire racetrack crowd with a fish, and the man who streams new and interesting video games frequently. He’s gotten a fair bit of practice at it and a lot more pressure to be good.

RT was simply born for this.
@@PoyoPoyo2000 ok I get you play a lot of games, but is it literally your job? Do you make money by playing video games for the entire day, almost every day, in front of thousands of people?

Also, can we not make an argument out of this please. Complementing RT shouldn't result in an argument.
I still can’t believe you have beaten the Soul Tyrant on the earliest possible stage
The sheer determination and skill deserve respect
Technically he had nail + 1 and soul catcher (wayward compass too of course) so technically it wasn't all binding difficulty but it was close
@@jorgemtzb9359 thats fair, i guess almost earliest possible stage is more correct
It was all thanks to wayward compass
@@yeti1835 nah tbh soul master/tyrant are easy on the second playthrough
@@Funny-iq9bq this is his first playthrough tho
One of my favorite parts is RT going "why is everyone panicking?" and then immediately finding out why everyone was panicking
I really really hope he puts more geo in the bank, it really is the most reputable and honest banking system in all of hallow-nest
Oh no
@@McCaddarn Oh, yes
Yeah, I really recommend it for any new players. I’m sure everything will go *swimmingly*
Yes I agree. The bank is a great system to help newer players handle Geo, and prevents *any* loss of Geo.
sure thing. is there a second bank location I should know about or is it very reputable establishment?
I like how Zote doesn’t even seem to recognize the player each time you meet him cuz he’s so full of himself
he can't see you because of how far his head is up his own ass
ok cert
He was great at Celeste and he's done incredible at this.
Must say he is showing himself off as more than just the drift king
*nail king
@Egg T path of pain is gonna be fun
He second tried Lost Kin and Watcher Knights without spells and only the second nail upgrade (and on the first try he got incredibly close). As the chat likes to say, GOD GAMER! He unknowingly figured out goddamn speedrunner strats to almost get to areas like Hallownest's Crown without things like the monarch wings, who is this man?

I still find it so impressive that RT managed to condense 9 hours worth of streaming into just over an hour long video. Well played mate.
RT doesn't edit his streams, the workload would become unimaginable. This video was edited by Ashtaric, you can scroll down the video description and see their credit and social media, if you wish so
I find it impressive that Ashtaric managed to condense 9 hours worth of streaming into just over an hour long video. Well played mate.
Fair enough. The sentiment still stands for whoever the editor may be
Ashtaric edited this video. RT almost never edits his own anymore. Give her credit instead.
Genuinely the only person I've seen go straight for the lantern and head to crystal peak, and then go straight to the resting grounds afterwards. I love how the game lets you take these alternate routes through progression.
Really funny too, because I don’t think he had mantis claw when he did that. It’s honestly really impressive
Mythymoo played the game backwards
I stumbled into Resting Grounds without lantern through Crystal Peak on my first playdough
@@bruv7521 mythymoo's playthrough is something else haha
Then you've never met me
The fact that you entered Kingdom's Edge, and more importantly, _the Colosseum of Fools_ before even fighting the Mantis Lords terrifies me to no end. I'm truly astonished that you're already so good at this game ;;
Daniel shows off his pro gamer skills by getting farther in the story than I ever did; even though he was just looking for a map
This is the weirdest route I've ever seen anyone take. He got Dream Nail before Mantis Claw, I love it
Then he beats Soul Tyrant with only one nail upgrade
Not quite as weird as MythyMoo who got to the City of Tears via the Ancient Basin for the first time
@@FrazzleFlib oh yeah lol I remember watching that
@@FrazzleFlib That early tram pass was insane.

A flower, some buzz saws, and a fly: you sure about that?
Path of pain be like
P5
@@micah8793 I agree that P5 is a hard challenge but this was more about the platforming then boss fights. All of these make it significantly harder to move through a level. I am unsure if the flower should still be there tho.
flower: *dies*
I'm just waiting for him to get to the path of pain
I love how he quickly dies to Soul Tyrant, realizes he lost nothing but time, and just goes "Yeah, we're beating this fucker"
Having a group of bugs surround you while you get stuck to a bench covered in spider webs was one of the creepiest moments I had so far while playing the game.
Dan ranting at the Primal Aspids is the moment he became a true Hollow Knighter
Gets dreamnail, beats elder hu, beats soul tyrant, beats colloseum 1, and then gets first non dream death at mantis lords
And beats the mantis lords on the second try(Iirc)
God gamer status
Is he the next God Gamer????
Is that good or bad? Can someone give me context >.< pls
@@zeronothinghere9334 extremely good and extremely bad. He dies to mantis lords with 2 more upgrades to his nail than he can at the time most people run into them which is laughably bad. Soul tyrant most people don’t run into or try until they’re trying to access the true ending and they generally have all the upgrades by then, which is god tier
RT is the first man to go blind and kill a warrior spirit before dying.
He is in a weight class of his own, he took on the Soul Master without dying.
Then taking on an end game boss over and over again.
Whenever someone asked what it's like to have a phobia, I show them one of RTs videos, bc it's such a vocal and well shown experience of suffering from a phobia. I myself dont suffer any phobia, I unfortunately struggle with severe anxiety which has lead me to being a few steps away from proper phobia of thing. I cannot Express how happy I am that Dan can not only continue playing, but is such an amazing example
Yeah, it's nice to see someone who's just as terrified of spiders as me and is open about it. When he got into the Deep Nest and I saw the webs, I immediately considered turning off the vid and leaving it for another day so it's super cool that he can keep going. Just the noises alone made my body physically tense up. Love anxiety but with zero sarcasm, I love how RT doesn't let it stop him.
RT, regarding taking on Soul Tyrant: "Oh there's no consequence for losing to this guy. If there's no consequence for dying, I'm just gonna keep fighting him until I win."
My. Fuckin'. Man. Right here, this guy. That was my mentality precisely when I first started playing this. I stumbled onto the Brooding Mawlurk before I even encountered the False Knight in my first (blind) playthrough of the game. And I continued to bash my head against that wall until it gave in.
I'm so glad you share my sentiments with Metroidvanias, RT. Must stand for Real Tough Game or something. You champion.
Stands for Rumble Tumble btw if youre still curious, and he certainly rumbled with the soul tyrant till it tumbled😂
Of course he is good at the game, it combines his two favorite things, plataformers and mass murder
And depression.
Jesus Christ RT Soul Tyrant has as much HP as end game bosses and you killed it with the barely upgraded nail
imagine beating Hornet before finding a single stag station
You probably won't see this, but oh my god you're amazing at this game.
As someone who's played the game upwards of 5 times, I am immensely impressed with everything you did here. I wouldn't have dreamed of trying to beat Soul Tyrant on my first run through, but you braved the challenge and you beat him probably 10 hours before you were supposed to.
You found nearly every early way to get to an area before you were supposed to. You're not supposed to go to Crystal Peak until after Soul Master. But you did it. You got there and you got through it.
You got the Dream Nail before Fungal wastes. Do you know how impressive that is? Before Fungal Wastes! You beat Elder Hu before even getting the Mantis Claw. That's insane.
You even got to Kingdom's Edge, and endgame area that you're not supposed to go to for probably another 20 hours, and you got through nearly all of it. You got through Kingdom's Edge without dying once! And you beat the first Trail in the Coliseum of Fools at just 5 masks and minimal upgrades. On your first try! That's phenomenal!
I am happy that I'm being able to see someone play this game for the first time. When I played it I spoiled myself to hell. I knew about everything, and playing the game was like seeing references to things I already knew. But watching you is like seeing it for the first time, seeing someone's genuine reactions, seeing someone not only be able to feel the wonder of the game but also exceed at it is something that I am very grateful that I get to watch. I can't attend the stream that's happening approximately right now, but I truly hope you see this after.
As someone who's decently good at this game, I was impressed when you got through Crossroads without dying. Everything you did in this video, the insane sequence breaking, the phenomenal aptitude of being able to take on every challenge and come out on top. That cements you as the best naturally skilled Hollow Knight player I think I've ever seen.
P.S. If you saved Zote in Deepnest before doing the Trial of the Warrior (like was intended) you can actually fight Zote himself as the boss of that Trial. I don't feel bad about spoiling it, as you did both of those events, but fighting Zote after experiencing his narcissism is very cathartic, and I thought you should know about it.
Hol'up, Crystal Peak is supposed to be AFTER Soul Master? I didn't even realize the Soul Sanctum existed until after I had gotten the shadow dash XD
I suppose a product of my compulsive need to explore every nook and cranny, to the point I forget to return to previous areas that were off limits sometimes lol.
I thought this was everyone first playthrough. I did most of these events the same as RT and just stumbled into things as I went and only after I finish did I look up how things were supposed to go and was like "well I did that completely wrong"
28:48
The point of that extravagant “death” is to make you forget what makes an enemy dead: the orange blood and corpse on the ground
I can still hear Aki's screams from here as RT completely demolishes HK
i get the feeling RT's either gonna end up getting the first or second ending (y'know, the orange juice ones.......and also the ones you tend to get on your first playthrough if you go fully blind) and just absolutely WRECK the final boss like he's stepping on a tiktik while the chat just absolutely fucking *loses it*
(...and then i'm hoping he'll come back to get the third ending and give the chat another whole reason to scream LMAO rip aki and rip all of us who played hk before and died a thousand times over while dan just waltzed in and almost pulled a goddamn steel soul mode on his first damn playthrough. just. fucking godly gaming skills holy fuck)
Yep aki, me and so many others were going crazy

@@Frenchfraeis to be fair, he had sharp nail

and the path of pain
@@mateogajardo2196 assuming he finds it. But if I recall, (i may be wrong) the path of pain isn't required for 112%
I really enjoy the route you took because it really represents what hollow knight is supposed to be! An exploration, having no idea where to go most of the time, and you try and find your way through the desolate kingdom.
"I don't think it's Tony Hawk."
That's what a lot of people who meet Tony Hawk say
Sometimes I forget that RT is actually really really good at games because so much of his content is comedy. Then I watch him beat four HK bosses in a row without a single death.
“Mask shards, charms, keys, you want it, it’s yours my friend. As long as you have enough geo.”
Somehow he gets unbelievably far in Hollow Knight without dying, but he has trouble with games like Rhythm Heaven. I really don’t understand.
It's timing ~
Hollow Knight is less beat-based timing, as far as I can tell - it's more about anticipating and reacting. I think RT is extremely good at that sort of timing, just not metered timing, that is to say, a steady pulse. He clearly has some very tight reaction speed, though.
He says he didn't die but when he gets the hunter's journal, the shade is one of the entries.....
@@TheAcer4666 Shade is always an entry.
@@TheAcer4666 It always is. For deathless completionist runs. You can check his stream VOD or the hollow knight wiki for this.
God if he was that uneasy with Deepnest I can't wait for Nosk
He'll probably be going back to it after finishing a lot of other areas, in a sort of cross-map boss & secret clean-up extravaganza.
I like how he has it as “Day 1” instead of just “Part 1”. It’s not comical but also hilarious, idky
Holy shit he's so good for his first time playing! His first death was with Soul Tyrant, an endgame boss. And the game doesnt even consider that a death
I thought he was playing this blindfolded so I was extremely impressed that he had memorized the dialogue and where he needed to move and then two minutes in I realized I was dumb and he was just playing it for the first time
I have no greater fear than the possibility that RT will miss some bosses
He'll probably miss Nosk since he's located so far off-path. But I guess it's for the greater good as I'm certain RT wouldn't mind never knowing who Nosk is.
@@charKT-7461 I don’t know man, I found Nosk accidentally when I first played (and I played fairly recently, too).
By the end of the year, every content creator will have posted a Hollow Knight video, and I’m here for it. I will watch people play this game on repeat until Silk Song comes out.
im melting waiting for silksong lmao
and beyond
Thank you so much for streaming this game, RTGame. I tried out Hollow Knight awhile ago, but I didn't know that much about it and I got overwhelmed so I dropped it and haven't played it for a year or so. Watching this finally gave me the motivation to play it to the end and I don't regret it a bit. Thank you 💙
It took him SO LONG to die the first time. One of the mods was SO angry. And the dream death doesn't count, because steel soul mode doesn't count it. His first true death, was the mantis lords. Also, I can't wait for him to try the Path of Pain.
My Favourite game of all time. Your in for a wild one here Dan
same!
same
same
same
Me also
You know, I'm really impressed with Dan's run of this game. While the game focuses heavily on exploration, most playthroughs are near identical until players get the mantis claw and venture into the city of tears.
However, Dan managed to get the dream nail, go to fog canyon, fight and beat elder hu, and get the lantern all before even setting foot in the city! Just goes to show that everybody plays the same game differently, and I'm really looking forward to where he goes next.
Is it just me, or did he do Deepnest *backwards?*
Bro Have you ever watched mythymoo? He defeated the watcher knights before he even got the dream nail
@@bruv7521 I mean Mythymoo had a unique playthrough for sure but RTG is just built different
Actually kind of reminds me of how I went to the city way before I got the claw...couldn’t explore it all of course. But after I defeated the mantis lords I went to deep nest and then forgot about the city for a while. Not as unique as RT but it was amazing being enchanted by the curiosity of deepnest that I fucked around there for a while.
I didn’t even know it was possible to get dream nail before mantis claw without a shade skip but Daniel is too much of a god gamer for the game
........................tbf you can get the dream nail before the dash. i know this for a fact. don't. don't ask how i know
......you can probably get it before vengeful spirit too tbh
you ever notice why the stag station in Resting Grounds has no geo requirement and why lake leads into crossroads
it's so people don't get stuck
I did it accidentally trying to get somewhere else
Hornet: "i know what you trying to and I cant allow it"
Me: not knowing enough of the story to know what I'm doing
I love how when RT is doing Zote's voice, he sometimes breaks character because you can tell he's trying not to laugh.
Haha, RT’s gonna have such a hard time with Hornet, just like every other streamer it’s gonna take him at least 5 tri-
