My man you always puts together something of insanely high quality. You did such a great job on this video it's wild. Every upload its something new and I can't wait to see what you get up to next, because no matter what it is, it's always inspiring. SO NEXT TIME YOU CHALLENGE ME YOU COULD AT LEAST NOT MAKE THE VIDEO LOOK THIS GOOD Now shut up while I watch this masterpiece and get to work on that deathless playthrough
as someone who has 112% in this game, beat all pantheons, beat path of pain, and all achievements, this video overjoyed me and gave me severe ptsd at the same time.
10:10 Fun Fact: That Acid is called "The Sprite" by the community, because when Team Cherry first got their office to make games in, it was absolutely INFESTED with ants, so, being poor, instead of hire exterminators to fumigate the place, they bought some cheap sprite at a local drive-through and drowbed the ants in it. So when they made a game with a kingdom of bugs and an acid section, they of COURSE had to design the acid like sprite, hissing and spitting and fizzing in a pale-green.
Yeah I saw another video where someone was analyzing the game design, and the devs actually made 4 different paths to get to resting grounds on purpose so that you can't miss it
I missed mantis claw for an *insanely* long time (yes I was using cheats to get around certain obstacles, I dunno I was just severely confused), until I reached an obstacle, a crystal dash section, that absolutely needed mantis claw, and I looked through what I was missing and realized my mistake. I recall I was aware of mantis claw at first since I always watch a lot of videos on the games I plan to or eventually buy, but the layout of the map led me super far away from it and I got in the zone of the story and atmosphere that I didn’t even consider an alternative. I also missed dream nail for a super long time because I was only aware of the crystal peaks entrance into resting grounds…that I couldn’t find. Yeah Hollow Knight is ripe for new players to take nonsensical paths, it wasn’t until I watched a video in another playthrough that I saw the ‘intended’ way to False Knight and was like ‘mhm yes this makes a lot more sense than what I was trying to do-‘
1:53:11 lore drop (minor spoilers i guess) those bugs also bow down to you even if you don't have the king's brand. they bow down to you because you're a child of the pale king, which makes you and all the siblings (including hornet) royalty
This video is so refreshing. Seeing how you react to the things happening. It throws me back to when I played HK for the first time. The fact you don't use spells in combat, not knowing the perfect charms, and getting lost several times. It's pure treasure. Reminds me of myself. After I beat the game in steel soul like 2 times and doing the pantheons I tought I'm done with the game, but seeing this makes me want to play it again and again. If a forgeting machine is ever invented I will play HK again for the first time and watch this video again and again. (To be fair you are better then I was. I was stuck after Mantis Lords for several days cause I didn't found the Cathedral)
I can't believe you didn't get the Howling Wraiths AT ALL, this is the most unique path I've ever seen in a first playthrough. Hollow Knight truly is a masterpiece
1:14:45It betrayed the other lords by willingly taking in the infection, as the infection offered strength, which is VERY important to mantis society. Unfirtunately, it was a trick, and the traitor mantises were reduced to unliving husks possessed by the infection. I know the lore of this game to a tee, so I can answer your questions now that you have the true ending and it won't spoil you.
@@Exxorcistt Simple; Shame. He was so ashamed at how he accidentally corrupted The Hollow Knight that he sealed the entire memory, and the palace, with any proof thereof, in a dream guarded by countless sawblades, so that "To witness secrets sealed, one must endure the harshest punishment". The Path Of Pain guards the greatest secret he has; that his own emotional 'weakness' Caused the kingdom to fall. And so the whole palace of sawblades beforehand is effectively a giant "TURN BACK" Sign. The only inhabitants there are those that are blindly loyal to The King.
Which makes no sense because that have a sequel in the making. So 1 ending has to be more canon then the others, the question then becomes which ending is it?
@@TheKingofGargos like i said their all equally cannon according to team cherry so silksong is either going to make subtle references to hollow Knight or it will be a prequel that depicts hornet's training.
you do not understand how many hours ive put into this game and I am no where near close to being finished with it. Its a masterpiece. (5k+ hours in it)
5000!!! What the, HOW? I have 217 hours and there already isnt that much left for me to do. I've done AnyRad, a couple modded bosses on radiant and I'm currently on p5 ab, but I cant imagine how I'll even spend the next 300 hours. But dude I respect your dedication, hope you'll keep on having fun :D
@@BackToBacOn alot of it was me learning the game cause i was terrible. Then the P5 was a pain, at least 400 hours cause of some dumb mistake. Then it was steel soul, thats what took up most of my time.
I’m currently sick at the moment and I just finished watching this. Now all I can see when I close my eyes is Hollow Knight replaying over and over again for over 4 hours all while coughing. It’s a nightmare.
you couldve gotten howling wraiths and its abysal shriek upgrade which wouldve helped you alot, basicaly it shoots big range attack upwards, rly usefull
I love watching other people’s playthroughs because despite having 95% completion under my name I always see things I’ve never seen myself in the game myself. Well done!
This game is amazing. Like honestly I have never even played something close to this games enjoyment. This is coming from a person who has beat everything but path of pain
Incredebly nice to see you cover my favorite game of all time! Definitely dont miss the pantheons, theyre the best part of the game (i want others to suffer the same agony that i endured)
been here since your first video, and i can tell the amount you’ve improved with your editing and entertainment is insane, you’re definitely going to make it big someday
This video is so entertaining, both as someone who has never seen your channel before and someone who has played HollowKnight. Your reactions are so funny 😭 Amazing video, definitely gonna watch more when i finish this one!
Im really happy that i've found your channel. Even though there are not a lot of videos because of quality that you put in these im really happy. Thank you for your work, hopefully ur channel will grow as much as it can!
I like how he complained about difficulty and never even once used a spell in a boss fight 💀AND WITHOUT SCREECH OR WRAITHS LIKE BRO C'MON, good vid tho 👍
1:43:31 “who, like other bosses at this stage of the game, dealt two damage” *proceeds to take only one damage from hive knight because hive knight only deals one damage*
As having more then 300 hours on hollow knight thank you man you inspired me to play it thank you so much for making me enjoy hours and hours of joy and a little bit of pain keep going and keep cooking these bangers because the editing is on a god tier level bro keep it up
"You can backseat just this once!" Hearing people complain about "backseat gaming" while streaming their gameplay always has near-identical energy to "ban anyone trying to give me advice".
@@gamertomatoe Generally speaking, people "telling you what to do" is only a byproduct of them trying to help - especially, as is the case here, when the person playing doesn't know their way around the game. It's.. really that simple.
0:36:00 One detail I love is that if you got the Hunter’s Journal before fighting Soul Master, you won’t get the kill confirm icon in the corner you normally do when you kill enemies when you do his fake out death, giving his little trick away.
"But now with Silksong, the long-awaited sequel to Hollow Knight, being so close to releasing (I hope), I believe now would be the best time for me to start playing this game." Translation: Hollow Knight's about to experience a boom in relevance and I wanna hop on the content train beforehand.
I think he wants to make an entertaining video about something people love and enjoy. That may have something to do with it but saying that’s the only reason may be a bit cynical
@@seclusivesnail5133 Nah, don't worry, I don't think it's the only reason or even the main reason. I do believe him when he says he legitimately enjoyed it. This comment wasn't serious.
It is interesting how this dude just said: who TF cares about wraiths/shriek? Laughed and felt about to puke my heart at the same time watching this video lmao
You've taken one of the weirdest rutes I've seen anyone ever take and the fact that you found the normal enemies harder than most bosses at the beginning is so funny for some reason. Also, I had never seen anyone use the nailmasters' abilities nearly as much as you did, it's super cool, actually. I didn't knew they did so much damage! Your histerical screaming made me laugh so hard. This was such a joy to watch, it felt like less time than it actually is! I'm looking forward to watching more of your videos in the future.
Dear Bijou, this video is the reason I played Hollow Knight. I watched the first 5 minutes, said fuck it and bought the game. From that point onwards I was lost in the story and gameplay. I completely forgot to finish your video. Now that I have (almost) finished the game, watching this video for some reason brings crazy nostalgia and good vibes. It was like I was watching a new player play hollow knight, even though ironically I was just watching the person who made me want to play the game in the first place. Thank you for introducing this game to me. It will forever be one of my favorites.
The dream nail allows you to peer into minds and harvest a significantly larger ammount of soul, the first bit allows you to detect genuine grubs amongst mimics. A true grub will think only of home.
finished the whole video! you did an amazing job with editing and playing the whole game!! you should really get 112% because there's a lot more fun content to be had
The EXACT same thing happened to me on Path of Pain XD I rage quit immediately. Swore I was done trying. Went to bed at 5AM......and was back at it 12 hours later. I couldn't stay away!
14:06 Missed the chance to say "and upon ringing, turned on notifications for my youtube channel so I don't miss an episode, just like you can right now under this video"
there's an INFECTION in hollow knight??? a year ago i looked at a few mins of this game and went "why do some of the enemies have orange, are they like infected or something?" but i didnt see anyone talk about it so i ignored it and forgot
i love how you experienced the game in an order that most people will never experience. like going to the kings station side of city of tears before soul sanctum? unheard of
Great video! Love Hollow Knight and your sense of humor is great! One quick thing I did want to mention though: you seem to have a lot of trouble seeing orange enemies and hazards. You said that your monitor sucks in the fight with Lost Kin, but then you had trouble with the hearts of the jellyfish and the infected bubbles in Fog Canyon as well. You might want to have yourself checked for protanopia which is called red-green colorblindness but in some milder cases it can also cause difficulty with distinguishing between red, orange and yellow. The trouble is most online tests dont have the precision to say for sure and you might need to get a paper version sent to you. Thanks for the great video!
Never have I felt whiplash like clicking on a longform Hollow Knight video and being greeted with the most chaotic track (to date) that Ultrakill has to offer
Bro, I feel you. I love metroidvanias since I played Blaspehmous and I tried to play the Hollow Knight for 3 times or so but never got really into it. I hope by the next try it will click for me since the reviews are so good and I don't want to miss a masterpiece.
Brooding Mawlek is one of those bosses that you’re supposed to meet at the very beginning of the game and get absolutely destroyed by, and then you come back a little stronger and it’s all of a sudden decently easy, or at least no longer super hard.
Seeking path of pain in the intro brought ME pain. God I never want to relive those memories ever again. I haven’t gotten far into the video but I pray for your well being. Edit: I’m so sorry about the Kingsmould

You said that your monitor sucks in the fight with Lost Kin, but then you had trouble with the hearts of the jellyfish and the infected bubbles in Fog Canyon as well. You might want to have yourself checked for protanopia which is called red-green colorblindness but in some milder cases it can also cause difficulty with distinguishing between red, orange and yellow. The trouble is most online tests dont have the precision to say for sure and you might need to get a paper version sent to you. Thanks for the great video!
The word that strickes fear in the pantheon players and speedruner: ACENDED MARKOTH
Never have I felt whiplash like clicking on a longform Hollow Knight video and being greeted with the most chaotic track (to date) that Ultrakill has to offer
18 vids with 113k subs so underrated and the editing is so epic as well, you have earned a sub
The fact that Bijou was able to get to monarch wings with only 5 masks is crazy
2:32 once upon a time...
THIS IS SUCH A SICK VIDEO I CAN'T BELIEVE I MISSED THIS IN MY SUB BOX
Bro, I feel you. I love metroidvanias since I played Blaspehmous and I tried to play the Hollow Knight for 3 times or so but never got really into it. I hope by the next try it will click for me since the reviews are so good and I don't want to miss a masterpiece.
Brooding Mawlek is one of those bosses that you’re supposed to meet at the very beginning of the game and get absolutely destroyed by, and then you come back a little stronger and it’s all of a sudden decently easy, or at least no longer super hard.
Seeking path of pain in the intro brought ME pain. God I never want to relive those memories ever again. I haven’t gotten far into the video but I pray for your well being.
Edit:
I’m so sorry about the Kingsmould
