@@vortigon2519 yup, for dream shield and long nail you dont need to tank, itemless requires you to dmg boost close to baldur so you can hit him before he closes
I promise this isn’t a hit to ur skill level or anything but it is so nice to have some HK content that isn’t just speedrunners cooking everything no hit. Ur vids seem so much more relatable that way and all the cat clips make me happy 😂 Continue the banger vids sir 🫡
lol no offense taken, especially since this was when I only had like 30 hours in the game. Glad u like the video ideas and the cats. And I’ll always be working hard on the vids! 💪😼
I mean, speedrunners aren't *that* great. I mean, they do get hit and even lose in some dumb ways too. I watched a lot of fireb0rn's videos and he sometimes fail miserable at the most dumb way, which is funny, especially that he is *extremely* good at the game. Even the best players do make mistakes. Especially if you watch them play rando with at least not super good settings (or even with cursed settings on). The only reason why they are doing so great at speedruns, is because the route they take is the same for the 1000th time. After that many runs, you just do it subconsciously. But if they have to play the game without that automatic mode in their brain, they often make small mistakes.
great vid! this reminds me of an absolute madman called Sample who beat the game without *collecting* soul (also using a single glitch in early game). keep up the sick content!
W vid I’m so glad I was able to experience the collector fight, the 3 hours of the 2nd trial, and the beginning of the watcher knights. Keep creating much love ❤
Did you know that some bosses scale with nail upgrades? In this particular instance where spells can’t be used, your reasoning might be correct, since I don’t want to crunch the numbers, but upgrading your nail adds health to bosses like the watcher knights, give knight, collector, etc. plus ALL the dream bosses. The dream bosses in particular have increased health by 3x by the 3rd nail upgrade. In normal gameplay this would mean that spells become weaker overall. However in this, it will still take less hits to defeat a boss, even if their health has increased. Hollowknight is weird sometimes. Anyway, there are some easy charm notches to get in fungal and by having enough charms for the notches salubra has. I noticed you were wanting for notches in the beginning and those are some of the easiest ones. I loved your video! Thanks for making!
Yeah I learned that after this video and used it for my “Spell Only” challenge since there was no use for nail upgrades, same with my “True pacifist” one ig. Also thanks glad u like the vids 😸
Fun fact: jump at 9:18 is actually doable via shade skip. You die in the acid there and you can make but quite simply but pogoing your shade. Once I had it in a randomizer as a pretty much first progression point. It was very cursed and I had to look up progression help to even learn that you could do that
Hmm… I wonder if I should do a playthrough like this? Or at least spell-less, to force myself to learn how to use nail arts… I really under utilize them
As a massive fan… duh? Its only baldurs that are a problem and there’s known ways around that My route would have been different, so props for figuring out something else. I would’ve used dream shield just because it’s really easy
I mean, yeah. Spellless speedruns exist. And the only other thing you use soul for is Focusing. This means that if you can survive without healing, you can beat the game. So basically it's nothing new, it's just more hardcore version of spellless runs.
Yea, after the Spell Only challenge I'm doing rn, will be a pantheon video where after beating the first 4 I'll fight radiance to get the true ending. Then I'll get the rest in easier challenges.
Fun fact:you can kill baldurs using long nail
Yeah, with dream shield too. But longnail is better.
Doesnt that require damage tanking, like more damage than you get in one full hp bar
@@Ethereal_MC No, you can do that with dream shield or longnail without tanking. Tanking is required for itemless baldur, I think.
@@vortigon2519 yup, for dream shield and long nail you dont need to tank, itemless requires you to dmg boost close to baldur so you can hit him before he closes
@@lolichan3702 People who do that are crazy ...
Edit: I mean, who do that itemless
Yo why are soooo underrated i thought u were gonna have like 30-100k atleast man ur insnae keep it going

I love how he called the colosseum something different each time
As you can tell I have the thought process of an orange cat 🐈
Why is this channel so underrated, cause these videos are amazing

Tu Sowl I have a request for you in the next live please try to save zote
Lol, I'll try
Thanks
Yeah

Lol thanks, glad u like the content!
Fury of the Fallen would have been useful for this.
26:48 I played HK for about 300 hours, but only now I learned about this trick! Thank you😊
BRO i LOVE the kirbys epic yarn sound track!
stellar craftsmanship dude!
Love this video man, great job. You deserve way more with this quality of editing and overall video. Keep making these vids please!
Lol thanks, glad u like them. Also I'll be sure to keep up the content!

Lmao sorry for the 2nd trials of fools it took way to long, but thanks, glad you like the video!
Bro! What did I just see? Was it hollow knight or cat cuteness compilation whatever it is it just made me subscribe. Keep it up... 😎

I never actually connected the dots before that the mantis lords were once a quartet, fun detail that broken throne!
Amazing content!
Thanks!

To get to there from the bench you need to use your shade so you can’t
I love challenge runs! I wish you much success in the future!
Words have been said about dreamshield that I never thought I’d hear
6:20 DO NOT THE CAT
💥🙀💥
Hmm… I wonder if I should do a playthrough like this? Or at least spell-less, to force myself to learn how to use nail arts… I really under utilize them
Yeah you should then, after this run Nail arts are actually my main way of combat when I don’t have a proper charm build for a normal nail
Love the undertale music used. Mad dummy is such a good choice for gorb
Nice job on the video, you are making great videos keep it up
Thanks! Happy you enjoy them! 😺
I kept thinking "please focus you need it now." Nope can't do that.
Lol, the urge was so bad I had to unbind it
As a massive fan… duh? Its only baldurs that are a problem and there’s known ways around that
My route would have been different, so props for figuring out something else. I would’ve used dream shield just because it’s really easy
11:58 maybe that's where traitor lord belongs. after all, he is the lord of MANTIS traitors so...
Keep up the good work😊
Thanks, I will!
After playing Undertale I realized just how much videos on yt use the ost’s from it.
I knew I recognized the champion island music!
The chalenge is just an easier version of what sample did but good vid
Fun fact. If you hit the hollow knight while he's stabbing himself, you only deal 1 damage
*Mr Incredible meme* Damage is damage!
this video has enlightened me
i need to use more cat gifs
You always need more cats… 🐱 🐈🐈⬛🐈
1:24 cat
🐈
Nope just a random one
I mean, yeah. Spellless speedruns exist. And the only other thing you use soul for is Focusing. This means that if you can survive without healing, you can beat the game. So basically it's nothing new, it's just more hardcore version of spellless runs.
the knight if it didn't read the lore tablet telling it how to focus
Wow, i just found your chanell, and it does not disappoint! I also hope you do the pantheons true ending, (its hard)
Lol thanks! I plan on doing the other endings soon, it's just taken a while bc my computer's acting up.
With wings you can take the beasts den shortcut
This run is soulless. Someone get an exorcist!
champion island reference
Dude is not a higher being
If I knew that you could kill them with great slash I would have used it more
May i pet you kitty cat?
Sure. 🐈
@@tusowl thanks. *soft gentle pets on the head along the back.*
Great video
Thanks!
Go without focus... Yes, i wanna you beat 5th pantheon without magic and healing
Undertale (and a little bit of Kirby) music :D
Nobody has ever taken that much damage from elder Hu 😂
26:46 how did I never knew about it?
Oh! I always just cut down the nailsmith! And went on my way, I just learned you could let him live lol
Lol, you monster... 🙀
7:47 You healed yourself right there my man
Nah, I died and just walked back
I'm wondering since you've beaten the game twice now, (getting the first ending) if you're intending to get the other two?
Yea, after the Spell Only challenge I'm doing rn, will be a pantheon video where after beating the first 4 I'll fight radiance to get the true ending. Then I'll get the rest in easier challenges.
did you have some sort of mod that adds different music to the game, or was it just editing?
Lol, it was just editing. I just play with no music
@@tusowlWdym u play with music off HKs osts are goated
*nmg, not glitchless, but great video!
love the bois
7:47 How did you heal?
I died and walked back
ok now beat abs rad
Yeah
Now do the true ending
Ok
WHAT
Now do 112% no soul use
Literally impossible
This video is super well made but The way you pause between certain random words is really frustrating to listen to.
09:45
cat
Killl himmmm
Love this channel but there is a little to many cats
What the sigma 🐈⬛
No such thing
Just a tiny request I did not mean for it to be rude or anything else
you need to check up on yourself whats your obsession with cat edits
