Surprisingly I find this twist to make more sense than the pale guards.....feels like the Pure Vessel is guarding his one and only precious memory This would also tie in really well to the fact that he was flawed from the very beginning.......
And also it’s like the stereotypical secret boss only accessible after you beat it which is even harder than the final boss of the game But since god home is a thing it would make slightly less sense
not only that, but considering the ending, they probably had to do the entire thing multiple times (unless they cut it, which is fair, i wouldnt want to do the PoP 7 different times, let alone hitless)
If this was actually how people fought the Pure Vessel, it would go from one of the most liked to disliked bosses instantly. What should happen, is that once you beat the path of pain there is a bench you sit at. Then the gates to the Pure Vessel open up in a suitable arena. Getting to that bench also opens up a pathway to it from the start of the White Palace, so that you can leave at any time, and be able to fight him as soon as you re-enter the palace.
@@flameblade3 I think the fact that there is no useful reward is team cherry telling us that this is not a mandatory challenge in the first place, because let's be real: Path of Pain is not exactly good game design, it's a little bonus content for people to see just how far they can push their platforming skills. In that context it makes even less sense to slap a pure vessel fight on top of that and then add a useful reward
This would, honestly, not be a bad place to actually encounter Pure Vessel outside of Godhome. Maybe if POP remained there after completing it once, if you redid the whole POP you'd encounter PV at the end. This PV is the "Memory" of how the Pale King Wanted the Pure Vessel to be. Now an old memory of a long dead king, buried behind so much pain of how things turned out, and the regret of realizing why things turned out so. Despite murdering thousands of his children, tossing them aside like garbage, and despite being a wyrm, a 'God', a higher being far above his primitive bug servants, he couldn't help it but to love his son. To feel a sliver of pride in the his son's 'purity'. But that love instilled an idea in his creation, which became a weakness his could use. Because he couldn't help himself but to love, his kingdom, his world, was brought to ruins. Because of love.
@@octolyn5529 nah where's the fun in that? same could be said about the kingsmoulds, which would make it too easy. This is coming from someone who died to the kingsmoulds on his very first PoP run xD
@@Borkomora well there's a massive jump in difficulty from 2 kingsmoulds and pv, most people die to pure vessel a fuck ton of times before they beat him since he's like the 4th hardest boss in the game
@@octolyn5529 oh no doubt he is. I'm actually on the 4th pantheon for the first time today and have basically been practicing PV all morning ever since meeting him. But still, the masochists which are the lovers of this game would mostly disagree i think xD I'm not saying your suggestion is unreasonable. I'm saying HK fans are unreasonable hahah
@@Borkomora i mean, i beat the 5th pantheon so i know what masochism is like, but this would be pushing it too far, either put a bench before pv or give us a place to practice him without doing the pop
guys he means that when the PV theme comes in, it shouldn't just begin playing from the start but begin playing from where PoP theme left. This shift has an example with Grimm. His theme has 2 parts (you can listen to the theme Grimm Troupe, first one is moere slow and second is more energitic with acapella and drums) and the first part plays when you fight normally, and it shifts to second one from where it left when it turns himself into a pickl- I mean a pufferfish
Two things that would make this mod better: - If Pure Vessel was placed more to the left before the battle (so that it didn't overlap with the thorns). - If the 'Pure Vessel' sign actually appeared. Very cool mod either way.
this would have made a lot more sense than fighting kingsmoulds tbh. instead of fighting the king's soldiers, you're fighting something, someone, who's guarding their own memories so no one will know what went wrong.
4BLD Its actually is pretty fine. The real Hollow Knight (infected) is locked up in Black Egg, and the Pure Vessel is just him in the past before he was infected. The Godhome and the White Palace are accessed through using the dream nail, and entering almost another plane of existence. In these dream worlds, things can happen depending what its based off, like the White Defender. At the end of the Path of Pain, you can see the backstory of the Hollow Knight when he was just a little kid, or vessel. So it would make sense that in this dream world the Pure Vessel, a being you only encounter in dream realms, guard this sacred memory of *his* backstory.
@@nyx142 I would argue with that but I'll get a slap from Mettaton. Anyways, yeah, You can beat each and every single boss in the game without the use of either Descending Dark and Wayward Compass even though it's just a joke
This mod isn't really free, it comes at the price of your sanity Edit: there are more likes on this comment than the amount of buzzsaws in the white palace
Just realize that he had to go from queens gardens to get a flower all the way to palace grounds and then he had to do path of pain hitless with sharp shadow and dashmaster AND THEN he flawlessed Pure Vessel while not even fully kitted out.
Having the pure vessel at the end of tpop is the most fitting experience hence he also had to do the very same path as well. It’s like his there waiting for you so that he shaw be ur final challenge after a long craw though a maze of spikes and buzzsaws
I actually feel like this makes sense: the Dream Boss of the Hollow Knight, seeing him in his strongest point then to see what happened to him and why he is no longer as strong as he was.
@@crunchygrunchy5741 Path of Pain, but you can choose bindings like Dash length, jump height, Monarch wings usage, e.t.c Also, to get to every checkpoint you have to fight 1 boss from the Pantheon of Hallownest, at the end there's Pure Vessel and Abs.Rad together. Also it's all in 1 go, you die, you start all over again Hope you're satisfied UwU
I almost wonder if the devs had planned something like that initially. like a full-on boss at the end with extreme lore implications seems like it would fit perfectly (if it weren't incredibly cruel to players) edit: why sharp shadow? why!?
I love that all the vessels you fight are similar to the knight in some way, so it feels like you’re fighting someone you are relating too. It would’ve been cool if the lost kin was more like this visually, with his infection attacks reskinned to look like spells
The funny thing is, that area at the end is perfect for the pure vessel its a wonder they didn't put him there... or maybe they did at some point but thought it would cause some confusion.
If pure vessel was anywhere in the game, it would be here. I think whoever made this mod should make all the bosses original to Godhome into fights that can happen outside Godhome. Maybe you can fight all the nail masters through sly after you’ve learned their arts. Kinda like the Grey prince fights, every time to hit the shrine or sly it’s a different fight, the last one being sly himself. Sisters of battle could maybe be a dream boss variant. Absolute Radiance could maybe be a boss in the mind of the seer. I’m not really sure about a dream boss inside a dream boss, otherwise a dream boss for radiance herself would work. Winged Nosk is the last Godhome original boss. I think either another location in Deepnest would work or a dream boss for Nosk.
And doing it casually with the lowest health and the delicate flower, you my man, is what is know as a maniac... a very skilled one, but a Maniac forever and true all that aside I actually like the Idea of him appearing somewhere outside the Pantheon in his prime form and the white palace would actually make for a fitting location if that were an ingame feature ...only not at the end of the path of pain
Is it just me or is Little Ghost’s body below the head a tad smaller than it should be because of the mod? Edit: I realize now that it was just my eyes playing tricks on me. Also, are you using the Old Nail against Pure Vessel? Edit 2: Forget about the part about using the Old Nail in the previous edit.
( sorry for bad English) I think the path of pain was used to train the pure vessel, that's why we see him at the end with the king, no matter how much faster we go, the pure vessel will always be first, just like in the abyss cutscene
It would have been perfect to have a bench before this room and to actually have put this in the game. It would mean a lot more work before leaving the area, but it would also be an appropriate reveal for such an amazing boss
2:32 this is best I've seen someone perform this last section of saws right before the fight. Really smooth. I just beat Path of Pain, never have I tried something this crazy in a video game. Took me on and off 15 hours (game paused for breaks and sleep) in a span of 3 days...
As someone who has speed run PoP, I think this is a great but still not too hard skill test. The hardest platforming in the game paired with the hardest (non RNG) boss in the game. I like it!
Legit, thematically this would've been the PERFECT place to fight the Pure Vessel. The kings image and memory of his son, the final guardian to a past he doesn't want found. Its so fitting. Makes ya wonder why Team Cherry didnt put him here
@@adamjsher04 On your first attempt getting there in the path of pain would u like to reset and only be able to fight pure vessel there because godhome was not a thing when it was made
Expecting the average player to do this would just be unreasonable, but I almost wish this was in the base game, because it just fits so well- the image of what it was supposed to be protects the memory of what it actually was.
Next Video: Path of Pain but there are primal aspids everywhere, nkg's bats chase you throughout the whole place, absolute radiance at the end (hitless)
"Ready for one final duel, little brother?" Hollow inquired, never meeting his gaze with the smaller bug behind him. "But," Ghost began then paused, "we've never fought before..." Hollow gave a dry chuckle, brandishing his nail to point it at the miniscule being. "Well... _you will now."_ Ghost knew there was no backing down, this was it, his final trial. "Very well, en guarde!"
Man I wish there was a main game way to fight PV. Also it'd be cool if you could challenge the Mantis Lords a second time and it'd be the Sisters of Battle. Basically what I'm saying is that I understand people wanted a boss rush mode and that team Cherry did what they could to tie it in reasonably with the lore, but it still feels out of place and isn't my favourite. It'd also be super cool to fight the nail masters to unlock the nail arts. Obviously in that though Oro and Mato would be separate. But yeah, Godmaster bosses in main game please
This would have actually been a really cool place to fight Pure Vessel, just put a checkpoint before it, no one's gonna be doing pure vessel first try right after the path of pain
If this had a bench before the fight, and a way to reach that bench if you leave before beating him. Also a smooth transition from PoP theme to PV theme.
No mask upgrade, no max soul upgrade, no shade spells, hitless path of pain and Pure Vessel. This person is just flexing on us. Edit: I just saw that he had the delicate flower aswell, this is the most massive flex ever.
this feels to right to be a mod...bravo to you for completing the true path of pain, and bravo to the guy who thought of and made this mod, it should of been how you got pure vessel in game
Now you see, Pure Vessel only let you come to him because he did not want to soil his precious regalia by chasing you through the Path himself-a feat which, to him, would have been easier than walking down the street. #MakePureVesselCapedAgain
Hitless path of pain + pure vessel while using no dps upgrade charms AND holding a delicate flower. This guy's reaching levels of flex that shouldn't even be possible
Great video. It took me several hours to make it to the end and I barely beat the Kingsmoulds in that room. I only had one mask left. Can't even imagine doing it with PV spamming attacks like that. Wow lol

Hitless, stock spells, only sharp shadow. This guy is a legend
I feel like this entire video is just a massive flex
I can't even imagine being able to go down that road. Amazing!!
This actually would have been perfect to introduce the pure vessel boss fight tbh
"Ready for one final duel, little brother?"
Hollow inquired, never meeting his gaze with the smaller bug behind him.
"But," Ghost began then paused, "we've never fought before..."
Hollow gave a dry chuckle, brandishing his nail to point it at the miniscule being.
"Well... _you will now."_
Ghost knew there was no backing down, this was it, his final trial.
"Very well, en guarde!"
Man I wish there was a main game way to fight PV. Also it'd be cool if you could challenge the Mantis Lords a second time and it'd be the Sisters of Battle. Basically what I'm saying is that I understand people wanted a boss rush mode and that team Cherry did what they could to tie it in reasonably with the lore, but it still feels out of place and isn't my favourite. It'd also be super cool to fight the nail masters to unlock the nail arts. Obviously in that though Oro and Mato would be separate. But yeah, Godmaster bosses in main game please

Hollow Knight: I have chosen to lose an arm and regrow it back after a few seconds
4:14 How tf
hitboxes and no need for healing
This fit so well, maybe there can be a bench where the music stops, before the room with the pure vessel
This would have actually been a really cool place to fight Pure Vessel, just put a checkpoint before it, no one's gonna be doing pure vessel first try right after the path of pain
If this had a bench before the fight, and a way to reach that bench if you leave before beating him. Also a smooth transition from PoP theme to PV theme.
You know, pure vessel is actually a cool twist to the path of pain. And it makes more sense when you think about it, missed opportunity Team Cherry.
No mask upgrade, no max soul upgrade, no shade spells, hitless path of pain and Pure Vessel.
This person is just flexing on us.
Edit: I just saw that he had the delicate flower aswell, this is the most massive flex ever.
this feels to right to be a mod...bravo to you for completing the true path of pain, and bravo to the guy who thought of and made this mod, it should of been how you got pure vessel in game
Now you see, Pure Vessel only let you come to him because he did not want to soil his precious regalia by chasing you through the Path himself-a feat which, to him, would have been easier than walking down the street.
#MakePureVesselCapedAgain
This is where I originally thought you encountered the Pure Vessel. I didn’t know they were godbome exclusive
Next they make a mod that restarts you at the beginning

PV : Oh shit I'm seriously injured, let's me heal first.
Also PV : *Take One Hit* Ahhh I'm Fainted.
"I think he removed a Kingsmould and buffed the other one"
LOL
Hitless path of pain + pure vessel while using no dps upgrade charms AND holding a delicate flower.
This guy's reaching levels of flex that shouldn't even be possible
Me:(Trains for 370511480 hours to make sure I don’t get hit/die)
Also me: GOD FÜČKÏŃG DÄMMÏT
It actually looks like you memorized path of pain completely and feels like after 100 times. I don't have words for this.
So this is how my grandparents go to school. Interesting.
A good challenge for you would be a 100% radiant steel soul mode. One hit and it’s game over. That’d be entertaining to watch.
The PoPPV means "Path Of Pain Pure Vessel Mod"
Great video. It took me several hours to make it to the end and I barely beat the Kingsmoulds in that room. I only had one mask left. Can't even imagine doing it with PV spamming attacks like that. Wow lol
"Let me show you something about this Path of Pain..."
"Oh no, not this path of pain, lemme just uhh..."
"*and we're there!*"
The fact that you did that without a wayward compas is honestly incromprehensible
