Now we know that the real reason Hallownest collapsed was because the Pale King embezzled all their tax money on giant vertical mazes filled with buzzsaws and spikes.
Tell me more
the pale king died in a buzzsaw accident.

Wayward compass becomes useless after you play the game after so much but i have the worst coordination so i keep it on anyways

Is that the reason the infection leaks from the hollow knight?
yep
@@carterdelaney4648
@@carterdelaney4648 effectively, yes. the hollow knight was a 'failure' because it was not truly hollow - it had an idea instilled. this idea was it developing a bond with the pale king, thus making it no longer hollow, and unable to properly contain the radiance :(
@@clericstance Another reason to love Hollow Knight.
Real talk: the way the music swells and intensifies as you get farther in the path of pain is ABSOLUTELY GORGOUS
Late to the party (by a good bit), but it actually happens the same way in the second part of the Hollow Knight fight, the more you damage him, the more instruments join in (it's the same music)
100% agreed, only slightly marred by how long you will be hearing it... unless you are this guy of course.
I feel like it kinda cheapens the hollow knight fight. They could've used a different track here instead.
@@dbugging404 i kind of like it since this was probably what instilled the idea in the hollow knight that allowed the radiance to seep out
Fuck that song, they should put a whole play list with the amount of time you usually spend there lol

@@greybushgames1 up hill both ways
The knight in gameplay: *dies to aspid *
The knight in the lore:
It's crazy how the best kept secret in this game, guarded by this nearly unpassable gauntlet, and probably the sole Cause of the events of the game is
"A Father loved his child, and his child loved him"
It's so good. A three second cutscene without words, and yet with context it shifts the perspective on the king and the knight and just explains so much.
No cost too great.
No mind to think.
No will to break.
No voice to cry suffering.
JUST ENDLESS SPIKES AND BUZZSAWS.
Should have just stored the Radiance in the Path of Pain.
@@OrionoftheStar so true
The vessel should skip the "No voice to cry suffering" in path of pain
@@OrionoftheStar Yeah, just trap it inside an actual corpse like the White Knight forever.
However, that would leave Pale King homeless so that would not be very good

Path of pain:
Me, i am on it suffering right now
underrated
Path of pain isn't harder than white palace
Stop reading my mind bro!
@@jakeextreme4108 It is significantly harder. I did white palace in like 1hour maybe 1h20mins max. for path of pain the first set of platforms alone took me like 45 mins to geet through.
I find it so unbearably tragic that the only mistake the Hollow Knight made was letting himself a brief moment of happiness and love for his father, and that such a tiny thing that had been denied to him all his existence was the root of his failure as a vessel.
Alexa play despacito
Actually, i think it was the moment the Knight reaches that platform in the Abyss and the Hollow Knight actually looks back at him before walking away and the Knight falls
@@Xgendude14 It could be a spark for emotion. But the real secret is the end of Path of Pain, only by the fact that its a SECRET and SEALED, so that moment of happiness really was the vessel's doom.
Fabulous Pyro Also in the Godmaster DLC, the Pure Vessel has uncut Dream Nail dialogue. In that dialogue, he’s reciting to himself what the Pale King says during the Abyss memory. He’s trying to believe that despite the flaw he has, he can succeed in stopping Hallownest’s plague. He wants to meet his father’s expectations and be the kingdom’s savior. He even managed to keep the Radiance at bay for a time before the seal started to falter.
I interpreted it more as a pure vessel being impossible, as Hollow Knight had a moment of sympathy before he even left the Abyss. That's why the best endings aren't containing the Radiance but killing it.
@@jproductions1739 i would hardly call being taken over by an void entity as the best ending if. we don't give godseeker the delicate flower to stop it from going into the real world
Me: Tries to take it slow and figure out the best strategy to get through the level.
This guy: “Nah, we’re doing this geometry dash style.”
Wtf 😂
You do realise this 4 minutes wasn't his first time doing it? He has probably spent hours determining the perfect strategy
@@abdullahimran4624 hes just joking bro
Abdullah Imran it’s a JOKE
Besides it’s the same for geometry dash
You spend hours perfecting something
Then, once you got it down
*ITS SHOWTIME*
Or super meat boy
The fact that Path of Pain has half of the Sealed Vessel’s soundtrack shows how much the “To be a vessel one must endure all kinds of hardships” means. If the way to last half of Kingsoul is hard because of Pale’s king own paranoid, imagine what pain must Sealed Vessel had to endure
The Pale King obviously cared about the Hollow Knight. He has multiple statues of them in the Castle. And installed one in the City Fountain too! No one knows about the Hollow Knight, he could've just built only the Dreamers' statues, but he made HK the main focus on the fountain.
Reading this i just realized that the vessels were kept secret 🥲
Well yea
The pop cutscene proves it
He had to watch the others die, no wonder he ended up feeling affection for it since hk was the only child i could have kept
Fun fact:- if you dream nail dung defender he says "so there were others..." meaning dung defender knew about hollow knight but didn't knew there were more
“NO! YOU CANT SPEND ALL OF OUR GEO ON BUZZSAWS!! YOU’RE GONNA DOOM US ALL!”

i just died from those knights at the end... someone... send help... i'm dead inside
its the path of pain indeed. paths usually finish if you go
This just happened to me. And I was considering if I should call it a night. Thanks, game, for making my decision for me. >:(
Oof Rip i feel you bro... I feel you
It’s a lot easier the second time through. There’s also one section you don’t have to do again
So happy that I just completed this a few minutes ago. Only took me about 3 and half hours to complete(I took a few breaks in between sections.) But, I'm glad I never have to do this again. This was probably the most difficult challenge I have ever done in any videogame, I've played. My God!!!!
my mom walked in while i was watching this and she just said with this utter amazement in her voice "jesus that's so fast is that sped up??? you don't play it that fast" and i was like no mom that's like the hardest level in the entire game i don't even want to enter it
Just finished a blind run for Path of Pain, after dying 400 times on the process. If anything in the gaming would qualify for an achievement, this should DEFINITELY have one to crown the amount of insanity, suffering and patience you must endure to complete it.
Play Celeste. It's a beautiful game. Then play chapter 9 of it. I 100% promise you it will be the most difficult thing youve ever done and it'll be very rewarding.
Play VSC on geometry dash i assure you that's one of the hardest gaming achievements
I played it on ps5 and i didn't even give me the achievement
@@Tylerfan36 That’s because there’s no achievement for path of pain, op is saying there should be one.

Pale King: BECAUSE I WANT SOME ALONE TIME!
Servant: But you're the king! You can't just hide away from us and your subjects!
Pale King: I do what I want. Now GET ME MY BUZZSAWS! And while you're at it, install some retracting spears and plant those spiky vines all around.
A little while later...

Holy shit that really is a path of pain
Certainly has a double meaning to it.
And is a kaizo level
I wonder if the player were human or god..
It is like parkour from the depths of hell and it should be burning in hell with Satan but it is worse like a ultra extreme nightmare hellscape edition of the white palace and I am serious about it.
You know what is really painful??? The moment you get Through this sh*t after you took 2h of you life for this and THEN DIE BECAUSE OF THOSE 2 GUARDIANS AND NEED TO DO IT ALL OVER AGAIN!!! AHHHH IM SO ANGRY RIGHT NOW >.
The first time I found the path of pain I attempted it for at least four hours nonstop before giving up entirely. Came to this video about a year ago and realized I was so close. Still haven't touched it though I'm not reliving the trauma
I love how easy he makes this look, while I have trouble fighting in the pantheon and the coliseum.
those guards at the end killed me two times. you dont know how fustrated i was
Killed me once too since I went in blind; Second time round i slapped a shaman stone in there and blasted them into oblivion
With full soul they are a cakewalk
killed me once, I equiped the twist relic and spammed the black dive. Won with two health left.
Guys strength and quick slash are the best combo in the game
Killed me once. I got so mad I never went to that place again
But the Pale King made one mistake. He loved his creation.
umm... *looks in the Abyss* ... sure.
Yes, his buzzsaws
he really likes buzzsaws isn't he.
The real reason he died is because he tried to fuck a buzzsaw

Just watched this to check how far I am in finishing Path of Pain and I just knew I was close to the end. I have literally reached the last sequence.
Christopher Larkin did an amazing job on all the music, this being one of my favorite tracks.
It's part of a larger song. You've heard the whole thing before. Do you remember where?
The pain isn't the labyrinth of saws, thorns and spikes, its the memory of a doomed fathers love for his cursed son.
The other pain is your hand going though your monitor.
@@yourweirdplant Lol
No I’m pretty sure it’s the spikes
Is it though?
I feel so bad for The Hollow Knight :C
Also, no big deal, but I would like to correct that THK isn't PK's son, but child.
By how much should we increase the difficulty on this part of the game?
"Yes"
The utter patience you have in order to learn how to do this hitless… I can’t fathom it
Can't wait for silksong to give us the "Avenue of Agony"
Corridors of Chaos

No cost too great.
For all these glorious BUZZSAWS!!!
I finished the White Palace without ever knowing I could pogo the buzzsaw...
and SPIKES and DEALDLY PLANTS WHIT SPIKES
"The local Home Depot was having a sale and I just couldn't pass those deals up!"
Me, before watching this video: "I think I'll try the Path of Pain. Let me watch this video to get a feel for what it will be like."
Me, after watching this video: "... No. I don't think I will."
I watched the video to see how much I still had to do. Turns out I had done just over half of it. Yikes.
Lol me too, I barely made it across the white palace, no way I'm going through this lol
My EXACT sentiment. Took me 2 hours to finish the white palace, with rage breaks in between. Figured I'd watch the video for path of pain first. That's a hard no.
I made it about half way (to about 1:49) and I thought I was getting the hang of it. But that second part is just unbearable. The "checkpoints" (basically any time the knight touches solid ground) are non-existent. So you are just juggling in between saws and thorns and have zero room for error while also need to maintain speed before the saws catch up to you. I gave it a fair shot but I think its fair to say this aint it for me. I did PoH, but this..... this broke me.
I started playing a week ago and just finished the white palace, i already knew about path of pain but came here to check how the whole thing is and after seeing that section at 3:00 i just said nope lol, i know i could probably do it after trying it for a few hours but there's no benefit or a real reward so what's the point of going through so much pain haha.
I would totally erase my memory to play this location for the first time again. It feels like a never ending puzzles and each jump is a solution on the path to the end
Me : goes through the whole path of pain and gets to the two enemies at the end
Also me : is immediately thrown into the thorns on the wall and killed
"Welcome to the Salty Spitoon, how tough are ya?"
"How tough am I?"
"I beat the Path of Pain..."

I haven't done path of pain yet but completed white palace. And i gotta say white palace was so much easier than this platforms with thorns in Queen's Garden. I mean at least platforms in White palace are solid and don't collapse every time you step on them
Be careful what you wish for. I thought the white palace was pretty easy (except for that retracting spike hallway) it took me like 20 minutes. I wanted it to be a "little" harder but i didnt want this monstrosity

It went on too long. An absolute chore
It took me 3 hours to beat that thing, I was about to have a mental breakdown
It's not that bad tbh. You can pogo and skip a good portion of it.
@Wriok Müller the path of pain is twice as hard as the normal route. For comparison, it took me 12 minutes to do the white palace normal, and it took 8 hours to do path of pain
@@Nihlm that sound like 40x harder rather than twice as hard as normal one
Spent like 6 hours with the regular white palace, I'm absolutely terrible at platformers.
No thank you.
I have to thank you for just saying you aren't the best instead of complaining that it's too difficult and should be toned down. Not very many people do that. Hats off to you.
I'm with you. I cheesed the white palace with the health regen. Looking at this, nope. Not for me.
It also taked me 2h to pass normal white palace, and i used grub song with the crystal charm that heals double (so i had almost infinite heals) and i swear i taked so long to finish it that i almost run out of soul, i would only rage to the POP so i guess i'll leave it for the good players
Meh, I think I'll get my ass wrecked by Nightmare King instead. Moving through all-spiky corridor (while avoiding all the saws) just using downslashes? Ultimate no-go for me. Big bow to those who can.
StormT G
When I bought the game I didnt expect platforming in that magnitude at some point. Its actually a pretty interesting cutscene at the end and Im salty that only people, who are good at platforming get to see it, in a game that never put its main emphasis on platforming (until someone had the idea of the white palace).
Im not a platformer. I tried anyway. I managed to get to the gate, that you can open, but after that I was just too tired to get any further. I would have to invest way too much time and patience to ever get to the end and that means I never would have gotten that cutscene without youtube.
(Before someone asks: Yes lore in games like this one is just that important for me)
*Sigh* Well I guess it wouldnt hurt to try another time later maybe. I mean I atleast could skip the middle part. Now I kinda want to finish what I started.
I beat the path of pain for the first time a few minutes ago so watching this guy do what took me hours in a few minutes, is an interesting feeling I don’t know if I should feel more impressed or annoyed he did it so well.
So i recently beat the path of pain and it took me almost a day surprisingly and most of the movesets and the little shortcuts are coming from this video so thank you so much :)

BEST FU**ING COMMENT!
When I finally beat path of pain it was the most satisfying thing ever. This must feel like that x100
Imagine waking up in the middle of night to use the bathroom and having to go through this path every time
I really love the fresh new lore and content we get from this, adding to the Hollow Knight's dialogue "Father?"
it's really heart-warming to see that the King and the Hollow Knight bonded as father and son, but it's also twice as depressing knowing that their relationship was the reason for the kingdom's downfall and utter desolation ;n;
It is too bittersweet a situation
"Difficult" doesn't even begin to describe the level of fuckery you gotta master to get though this nonsense. Jumping off moving bladesaws, every ledge or wall off screen, and mini bosses at the end of it all. At least the other part of the White Palace was just jumping and dashing...
path of pain is fucking bs

@@arturjaroszewicz8424 Unlikely since he made a few minor screw ups like failing to get enough height on the double jump before hitting the vertical saw blade or bouncing twice on a few of the saws to presumably mentally catch up.
This... this is insane. I've never seen this kind of skill. Makes your (very offensive) hitless Nightmare King Grimm look like a small accomplisment. Congratulations!
J. Mário Oliveira offensive is putting it nicely, Grimm made me want to break everything in my house lol.
Beating Grimm is indeed much much easier than this shit, I almost beat him hitless; the only time he hit me was during his puff bullet hell attack
Count Artorias you must have had his attacks down pat man lol, I almost beat him hitless after a bunch of tries lol. It's weird that the one attack you got hit by is his easiest one to dodge. I agree that this is by far the hardest thing in the game though, i don't have the patience for this shit.
Yeah you're right, Dark Souls has made me develop patience for boss fights; not gonna lie, the grimm fight looked impossible at the beginning, but with repeated deaths and figuring out the best ways to consistently dodge each ability while also landing a hit, I was able to beat him (God the fight in which I beat him was super intense)
That being said, I do NOT have patience for platforming like this, the fight they throw at you in the end is just stabbing you in the heart.
Count Artorias me too, I think anyone who has beat Nightmare King Grimm has either played Dark Souls or should play it immediately. My brother watched me play it and was like "I just woulda gave up" and i said "Dark Souls has taught me one rule... everything dies" lol. Yah I was blown away by how insanely hard it was, no other boss gave me any trouble except for him, difficulty went from a 3 to an 11 when I got to him lol. I agree as well that the amount of patience it would take to do this trial is beyond me, especially cuz i had already seen that you get jack shit. I'm playing through dark souls 1 right now, its the only souls game i hadn't played cuz i was waiting for the remaster, i started with bloodborne and went backwards lol, bloodborne made me fall in love with the series. The remaster is trash but i don't care cuz i have been waiting for to long to play it lol. I just fought ornstein and smough last night, I was apprehensive but I stomped them first try, it was fortunate I played bloodborne first cuz it has the hardest bosses in the series for sure so every other game has been pretty easy compared to that lol. Plus it taught me HOW to play a souls game, which is very helpful, dark souls definitely is about patience.
Knight in his journey to find who asked:
Let’s all just be thankful for a few moments that the Path of Pain doesn’t contribute to percentage.
I just want you to *imagine* trying to beat this in Steel Soul mode for that 100% Steel Soul achievement...
But you can basically never die as long as you heal when you respawn after getting hit by a blade, the only part you could die at is the boss fight, which if you’re playing steel soul definitely isn’t the hardest thing to do
I would like to thank you for saving me a lot of heart ache. I've made it maybe a third or a quarter of the way through and thought I was doing pretty good. Then watched your video to see what comes next. Not only did I watch with my jaw almost unhinged the entire time, but I realized I will never finish this, lol. Again, thank you... and wow...
I made the first half, where you activate the switch. I also almost finished the first third of the second half multiple times. The second third looks quite easy, I don't worry about that. But the last third... This looks like big trouble. I don't know if I can do that:(
@@legrandliseurtri7495 It took me a RIDICULOUS number of tries but I eventually got it done, despite my despair at having watched this video. Stick with it; you can do it!!!
@@SirWiggy12 I did it!!! The last section, as expected, took me so freaking long. When I finally did the final jumps, I had such a mastery of the rest that I could have probably done it blind. Is this how speedrunners feel like?
3:30 the very moment that tarnished the Hollow Knight’s purity and illustrated that the plan to save Hallownest was doomed to fail, all because they reciprocated and stared back
There's now a Path of Pain in the *White Palace* ?
*WELP* SCREW THAT MOBADIS
Keith Redacted I thought the what palace was a path of pain
2:42 is definitely the hardest part
I mean that's kinda logical. I looked at the video to see how much was left. I still have three sections to do. But hey, I almost reached the second to last section several times and that one looks very easy. The last section is gonna be lethal.
Oh, and I made the mistake of using Mantis claw and long nail. They are so many spots where you can bounce to high...
I actually had trouble with this part 2:55, took me an hour or 2 just for this I literally had to cheat by screenshoting it before dying there, pasting it on paint and estimate my jumps because I can't see far right without looking at the knight, shame. never coming back.
@@legrandliseurtri7495 how's your adventure on PoP?
@@invigale Oh, I did it the day after I wrote this comment. Currently I'm stuck in the third pantheon. First, God tamer destroyed me like ten times, I don't understand why. Now, it's grey fucking prince zote.
Yeah, I was like "okay, this seems doable" (for the record I'm at the second statue on the way to the switch) when I saw that, I was like "I'm sorry, WHAT!?"
The rest of the path of pain is baby compared to that last part just before the kingsmoulds
The real Path of Pain is the -friends we made along the way- wait for Silksong
So glad I watched this video... I now know I have no chance and you've saved me hours of time and hundreds in broken monitors and controllers. God bless you.
Rare footage of a God playing hollow Knight
You mean a god*' ... little "g".
@rafa, because God, capital g, is the Creator of all, and nothing and no one compares to him. He is unique and stands alone in power, morality, holiness, invincible, eternal, almighty, perfection, etc. A god, or gods, lower case g, are also angels. These are creations from God. Hence, why God is known as the God of gods, the Lord of lords, the King of kings, the Host of hosts, etc.
The gods can also refer to the kids of the gods, or the bad gods, fallen angels, etc. Those kids are referred to as nephilim, titans, monsters, giants, etc.
A god can also be misconstrued as mighty warriors or beings who are strong or very strong, or people who do amazing things, just like the game Hollow Knight does or the gamers who play them. But as you can see, those bugs and people are still mortal, not invincible, bleeds, and can be killed. So much for them being "gods" lol.
So shade lorde is a God of gods
That last room took all the enjoyment out of my run
I beat the path of pain today on the first try, nostly regarding the last battle, my heart was absolutely racing but I managed to conquer and it feels so nice that I didn't get an achievement for it, it feels like them good ole bragging rights.
This Super Meat Boy level seems very difficult
I genuinely feel like I just ran a marathon watching YOU do this. 12/10.
