Random suggestion: a Grimm Troupe speedrun. As in, not just speedrunning the boss fights, but going from activating the flame in Howling Cliffs to defeating NKG as quickly as possible, including having to collect the flames from the Grimmkin in between.
i was trying to do the under 5 hour complete the game in steel soul mode and because y copied everything in the run i end with a 2:45 hour run. Thanks you!
Im trying to follow this route, but am having trouble in the Watcher Knights. Im kinda glad to see that they are, in fact, kinda hard! Great watching you run, thanks!
nice! i just completed my first steel soul playthrough in 11 hours, although i was definitely focusing alot more on items so i could always win my battles
how do you bounce on the mushroom exploding spores like that without it exploding? i try it and it keeps exploding me. does it have to be the base nail length or anything
@@natenewman3622 Really? Has it just been made impossible to pogo off the explosion and not the orb? I've heard multiple speedrunners say the skip is impossible in the latest patch.
@@cabopineforest6951 Hello! he has good memory, he used a mod that makes everything darker in path of pain, imagine doing the path of pain without even seeing anything, he did that, look up on his channel
Absolutely correct, VKing gives a good amount of geo and takes barely anytime to kill. It’s faster then collecting the geo off geo rocks and moss knights which is done is some of the categories that need more geo
I tried using this as a guide, couldn't do the skip at 27:03 so I got Crystal Heart and Monarch Wings, came back, couldn't do the skip less than 10 seconds later (is it patched?) and died to the Great Husk Sentry fml
Cookie Cat he’d probably need to complete the game a few times over to memorise the area, which I’m willing to bet will take like less than a week, cuz it’s Fireb0rn we’re talking about.
I wish different areas of Greenpath had different types of vegetation. When you first get to Greenpath while playing, it looks so beautiful, but once you've explored the entire area it gets stale.
Why did he return to Dirthmouth after Uumuu fight via Stag Station instead of just loading save and teleporing to the bench? Wouldn't that be minus 1 minute or something?
I’m gonna use this so I can beat this game in under 5 hours for the achievement. I just wanted a good route to take. I’ll be getting the lantern first though XD
Hello, fireb0rn. You can try to do speedrun in category 112% NMG? In this moment on first place Xephros, but i don't love her speedruns. I'm sure, you can do this very awesome, better than Xephros
probably not using that tram in the deepnest could save some time and there might be another way to quickly get some geo, but until then good run and cleaning up some of those mistakes can shave more off that timer.
When you die, you leave behind a shade, which is a floating enemy that you have to kill to get your money back. One consequence of this enemy's existence id that you can pogo off of it and reach areas you weren't supposed to. However, in a steel soul run, you can't die, so there's no shade, and thus no shade skip.
John Drake in a standard run, you’d sit at the bench by salubra’s shop and then die, lure the shade to the top right of the room, pogo on it and access blue lake & resting grounds without crystal dash or going through crystal peak
Looks like Zote's a decent speedrunner, too, got from Greenpath to Deepnest even faster than you did.
He just has to work on getting past that Vengefly king he gets stuck on it and always loses so much time
MelonShark he could kill the hollow Knight if he didn’t keep getting stuck because of dumb rng
Beat litterly everything from greenpath to deepnest. But the tougher route, going through the mantis lords
He got through city of tears too
But cornifer
Nobody:
Lucien0001: *occupies whole chat*
u have 69 likes, i can't just like ur comm
Parents: son, breakfast is ready in 40 minutes
Fireb0rn: alright, let me beat hollow knight real quick
fireb0rn: casually parkours through Deepnest
Me: misses the first jump in King's Pass
Idk if you woulda made it without Lucien0001 coaching you the whole time bless them.
fr!!
You used a dark room as the thumbnail, it’s a good strategy. No one is gonna make no lantern jokes and it’s maximum clickbait
Also inb4 someone comments something like: "How can I consider this a speedrun when you skipped so much / didn't get the true ending"
how can I consider this a speedrun when you skipped so much/ didn’t get the true ending
Team cherry: we’ll give you five hours
Fireb0rn: 30 minutes, take it or leave it
In before "you didn't speak to Elderbug, invalid run" comments! Excellent run!
Don't expose me like that. XD

Dude... It's the speedruns that got me into this awesome game. Congratulations on the WR and thank you awesome community :)
Mk mm
i just beat the radiance for the first time literally an hour ago now this !!! woooo
Congratulations random internet person!
Avital Tagar THANK YOU RANDOM INTERNET PERSON !!!
Mur Mur nice job! Ok now you have to go do absolute radiance all bindings.
Nick Wilson eeeeeee considering radiance took me about 3.5 hours ,,,, with charms ,,, normal dmg i think that’s beyond me ROFL
Nice
fireborn: beats the game in a half hour on steel soul me: 110 hours in and still haven’t fought THK
The skill tho! Like, navigating in pitch blackness in deepnest, purely by memory... wow.
Man, if Hornet worked consistently, this would have been sub-37. GG with the wr, now gotta wait for homothety to gain his title back.
Pog Axe straight into God Pixel. Can anybody stop this man?
Nop, noone can
@ literally anything you post: YOU'RE DOING GREAT, SWEETIE!
In all seriousness, though, mad congrats. That was a beautiful run.
His face is so intense.. he is orchestrating the run to his will. Music which we cannot hear
Hang on a second, dark deepnest?
*Dark Deepnest?*
You already have my respect man
Cornifer is the best speedrunner ever. He always gets there faster than you.
And explores the whole place
And maps out everything
that one guy talking in chat
Nice job! It would be cool to see how you would optimize a true ending speedrun keep up up the good work
I think the route hasn't changed a whole lot since the vysuals gdq run? I might be wrong though
19 second difference from the previous wr is insane, in most games 1 second is huge
This IS a new route for the category though, previous WR was the guy's very first run on this route.
Yeah it’s rare on really tuned up runs. This being a new route, it doesn’t surprise me.
I love the music at the end of the game. Whoever made it deserves a nobel prize and a hug

Now that would be cool
11:02 that skip still amazes me
Congratulations fireb0rn!
This is the first time I’ve seen your face, you look like a white version of nairo lol love your vids
Wow you're kinda right lol
hehe thanks pal
I can see the resemblance once you mention it
sometimes i think that i could have kings pass% speedrun wr, then i remember that this man exists
i was trying to do the under 5 hour complete the game in steel soul mode and because y copied everything in the run i end with a 2:45 hour run.
Thanks you!
Im trying to follow this route, but am having trouble in the Watcher Knights. Im kinda glad to see that they are, in fact, kinda hard!
Great watching you run, thanks!
Beating steel soul in 37 minutes while I'm 28 hours in and only have Herrah the Beast

He's playing on an older patch, the possibility got patched out later.
@@natenewman3622 Really? Has it just been made impossible to pogo off the explosion and not the orb? I've heard multiple speedrunners say the skip is impossible in the latest patch.
GG glad to see you also enjoying hades 3 years later
Lucien0001 needs to explain himself.
I wanna see someone do a hunters mark speed run
Monstahler did a full achievement run including hunter's mark, if that counts
Ya boi shrecc my swamp
22:00 EXCUSE ME
Cesare BUCHANAN-CORTESE I mean I can barely even see the knight

You lookin fresh!
Good speedrun, also
27:44 This was my hardest of battles. I hated it. Kinda want to play again now.
*casually bounces off a flying pickaxe in crystal peak*
Damn you did it again
Congrats! Another wr

@@bambootriangle I just got into it 2 weeks ago lol
Congratulations to your world record! Sadly I fall asleep within your run (I’m really sorry, but it was late where I live).
34:13 how did he not get hurt?
This may be obvious and I'm just missing it, but why kill the Vengefly King? For money?
Absolutely correct, VKing gives a good amount of geo and takes barely anytime to kill. It’s faster then collecting the geo off geo rocks and moss knights which is done is some of the categories that need more geo
Yes. You are not missing a thing.
It is to get speed boost from zote in deepnest
@@ThatGuyYouKnow23 What do you mean by speed boost?
@@smiley_1000 he cheers on the runner boosts confidence therefore speeds up run. It's all psycological
i play HK on PS4 and i just use the joysticks but HOW DO YOU USE THE ARROW BUTTONS
The D-pad allows more precise inputs compared to the joystick
is there a reason why youre using the cross to move instead of the stick other than personal preference???
awesome run btw :)
MaxMaan
Far more precise and eliminates the worry of slashing sideways instead of downward.
Called a D-Pad
I tried using this as a guide, couldn't do the skip at 27:03 so I got Crystal Heart and Monarch Wings, came back, couldn't do the skip less than 10 seconds later (is it patched?) and died to the Great Husk Sentry fml
Honestly watching speedruns has Inherently made me better at watcher Knights
Are you gonna do Silksong runs?
Cookie Cat he’d probably need to complete the game a few times over to memorise the area, which I’m willing to bet will take like less than a week, cuz it’s Fireb0rn we’re talking about.
When you mess up you do the same eye roll I do lmao🤣
Congrats !
my 3 hour run feels bad about itself now
I wish different areas of Greenpath had different types of vegetation. When you first get to Greenpath while playing, it looks so beautiful, but once you've explored the entire area it gets stale.

dreamers set a save when you wake up from them
Well done!
Damn this is epic!!
this is epic
Lucien0001 what a legend
34:12 how did you not get hit?
Hey I just have a question, does the game timer automatically pause on loading screens, cutscenes, between rooms etc.?
Yep, our timer uses a load remover plugin
List for bosses:
3:50 False Knight False Fight
8:54 Hornet
18:15 Mother Gruz
Duroooo!!
What is 34:13 ?
I'm not sure that shade skip skip is worth it D:
Shade skip is always worth it on Steel Soul
Because on steel soul you have no shade to shadeskip
34:12 why it didnt hit you?
Holy shit this run is PogU! Can you also link your twitch down in the description?
Sure, thank you for reminding me
I’m gonna use this so I can beat this game in under 5 hours for the achievement. I just wanted a good route to take. I’ll be getting the lantern first though XD
it's really not necessary to take such an intense route to get the 5 hour achievment. Use fireborn's guide that takes about 2 hours
@@coreyh6207 too late, already did it in 1hr and 21 minutes

Hello, fireb0rn. You can try to do speedrun in category 112% NMG? In this moment on first place Xephros, but i don't love her speedruns.
I'm sure, you can do this very awesome, better than Xephros
Nope, and I think Xeph is a great runner.
Do you think you will speed run silksong?
Probably, yeah!
epic my dude

🤣
Do you think a hitless All Bindings Pantheon of Hallownest will ever be done? Or is it even possible really?
possible, absolutely. I dunno if it'll be done though.
How are you not hit at 34:13 ??
If I'm not mistaken, this version has a safe spot between the laser and the enemy
Why do you use the d pad instead of the analog stick
I find that dpad is more precise for me.
What does NMG mean? (sorry new to speedrunning vids)
No Major Glitches I think
How did he get the floor to break to get to Deep nest? I thought you had to have the spell
What does nmg stand for?
No Major Glitches
How in the fuck can he make it through deepnest without light?!
didn't talk to elderbug? monster
21:02 I CANT HIT IT
27:12 HOW!? ;-;
I didn't understanded how you got from greenpath to deepnest xd

Why does bretta stop sitting on the bench when you banish the Troupe?
How did you see in deepnest without the lumafly lantern?
he memorized it
Makina
NO I MISSED IT!!
What happens when you open menu while falling?
it removes the speed cap and skips the animation after falling from a big height
How did he one hit the thing guarding greenpath??
That happens when you shoot at it from off screen! It's a glitch
