The fact this video is almost half an hour means this first attempt will either finish the game or this is just a compilation of runs that lasted no more than ten minutes and I can’t tell which option is better
as a vod frog: with glass soul it didn’t go so well but they got it on their first stream on current patch (second stream of trying to get hitless), where they ran the route with a hit counter to practice, and once they managed to beat it with only one hit they started to reset when they took a hit, and succeeded in only a few more tries!
He had a tracker that helped. Grass run was tedius but at least you are naking progress. Hitless means that one single hit, either from complacency or something unforseen, and the run is dead. Doesn't matter if it happened in the first 5 minutes of the run or all the way to the very end.
Honestly I'm surprised Skurry didn't get any of the fragile charms since the only time they'd be broken is when you're dead. strength could have prevented a couple deaths/close calls (mostly in deepnest). Might also partially be cause I've never done a speedrun in my life so they'd know better than me but they did walk past leg eater in every run where they got that far. The watcher knights kill was insane though
Spell build is better and safer than a nail build with Fragile Strength. And the other two Fragile charms are useless in this run anyway. (Fragile Heart is of course really good in Steel Soul, but not in Glass Soul.)
@@JoannaFalkowska Shaman + strength would be good though. Way more useful than a few points of soul per hit, since they hit enemies with the nail all the time even if they primarily focus on spell damage

this feeling of fear is exactly how i felt the entire time when i was doing the whole game with charm of fury active(All the time) on steel soul while waiting for silksong . . . (spoiler it took 1 whole month to actually do it) and i mean the whole 112% of the game
@@Snt1_ well yeah but what can you do against just sheer fear ? like i am traumatized of the waterways now. do you know how freaking scary it is to be in city of tears waterways and have that many enemy in literally unpredictable patterns chase you while making that annoying noise ? let me tell you it's a nightmare . . . and the hives are not any better it's feels so god damn scary when a random drill bee or the chunky bee just comes at you like that and you can't even kill them before they hit you . . . i admit at some points fury damage saved some of the attempts but what can you do against just sheer fear of dying and losing all of the progress when there is only 12% or 20% of the game left . . .
6:01 "you got the mothwing cloak, you can now dash into enemies... and die" Whats the cause of their next death? Dashing into a mantis. Ironic, isn't it?
I missread the thumbnail for "grass soul" and with the image I though the mod was that you die every time you cut a grass. Now I want to watch this video
Skurry, I've been going through a really rough time as of late, and I just wanted to tell you this went a long way towards cheering me up. Thanks for sharing, and for giving me something small to look forward to, even if it's a silly internet challenge vid.
Potential route suggestion--after Dash, how about taking a detour to Salubra / Sly to get Shaman immediately, so that you have Shaman VS for Claw and Deepnest? You would also benefit from more gear going into WKs--maybe early shop key to rush Shade Soul?
My personal favorite way of doing this is by reducing my hp to 1 and then using fury, not gonna lie. The last run I had with that made it all the way to mantis village before I had to give up.
I want to see a playthrough where if you take damage, you lose a random charm, ability, nail art or spell until you bench again. Imagine getting hit during a boss fight and losing dash or desending dark. Lol
Possible route shift: go for nail 2 + strength? You can get the pale ore from ancient basin near cloth pretty easily and it would help a lot for bosses + infected crossroads. But maybe not worth the extra risk from that arena + geo collection
I like flipping the game so the things you would never die to are very likely to kill you now, and the things you initially have to learn to not die to, are now the one's you practiced the most and are least likely to take damage from at all.
I KNOW THIS IS UNRELATED BUT I NEED TO SAY THIS BECAUSE IT JUST HAPPENED. I DID A WALL CLING STORAGE ON PATH OF PAIN OF ACCIDENT AND IDK WHY BUT I AM REALLY PROUD OF MY SELF FOR THAT :D
I just realized how smart an idea it is to have the knight technically have full health in this one hit ko run, if it was perma set to one health then they could just always run fury
Technically the title should be "Hollow Knight but I'm not allowed to take damage" as "Hollow Knight but I can't take damage" could just mean you're invincible.
You make this game look easy 😂 I’m playing this game for the first time and it feels brutal. I think a good chuck or my playtime is me fighting my regret shadow. I’m amazed here watching you get through so many bosses not getting hit. I would have even been impressed if you got that far without dying playing the regular way.
Deepnest is by far the *worst* place to go while being allowed to take no damage with all the surprise spike traps and bugs that emerge from the ground in random spots
I could have swore there was a fully fleshed out "glass soul" mod with its own setting when making a save and such with a custom 1 hp glass-themed custom healthbar
@LexiofHyrule I'm just saying I have seen a fleshed out mod with custom sprites that does this automatically (and there is also a mod that can make fury require 2+ max hp to work)
A brazillian ytber did this in a three episode series but not using this mod being at 1 hp and steaming everything…. Yes he used fury and dealt 50% more dmg (i dunno the actual %)

Oh yes the very stupid hitless run compared to the extremely reasonable all grass run
At least when you miss a grass you dont have to restart. Unless if its dream or quantum grass.

Skurry do hitless no steel soul! So you can restart at the most recent bench whenever you get hit. It’s like a soft hitless.

Why is this a softlock? Cant he just go left and down to hornet?
@ausmonster
A little late, but they got stuck in the stun animation, meaning they couldn't move, hence having to reload
When I saw that the death counter was "01" and not "1" it told me all I needed to know

OMG SKURRY IS BACK ???? IVE BEEN LOOKING AT YOUR VIDEOS OVER N OVER THESE DAYS
This was sick, especially that dodge yo! I prayge that one day we shall see a true hitless run (tho I'm still excited for lowhit runs in the future!!)
“Steel soul” implies unbreakability, dieing repeatedly is exactly what a glass soul should do
Skurry just likes to play with pain.
Please come back to this, would love to see it!
