tassing in hollow knight is super complicated though because you need to manipulate rng in order for it to work (which is why it took so long for the any% tas to be made).
@@hundvd_7 Do you not? It is my understanding that you have to script all inputs, frame-exact, in advance. Unless they are somehow able to run the game frame-by-frame, that is (I don't know enough about Hollow Knight TAS to say whether this is what they do). If you don't know how enemies will behave in advance due to RNG, this seems impossible to do.
@@lisspeedrun they didn't mess up the math. It's 37.5% emotional damage, 37.5% inhuman levels of skill and 25% unknown. It works because the way they worded it was that the halves are taken from the 75%, not added onto it.
@@sanikuanonym1105 More than math, he messed up the logic, because that comment doesn't make much sense with those percentages 😅 It's just for fun tho, so whatever.
38:10 i'm pretty sure the swords don't need to spawn in the arena when you're sliding down the wall, afaik - all the markoth guides i've seen have mentioned that swords can spawn outside the bounds of the fight and therefore specifically advice against playing off of the edges of the arena like remto did here. interesting strat, though - maybe he figured out something that can help telegraph the offscreen swords, or just counted to make sure he knew where every possible sword was on the screen to help account for the non visible ones.
I found hanging on the wall was way easier due to how large the wall is. Just think of it like a bigger platform. Every time a sword spawns you either jump up twice or you let yourself slide down, unless they are above or below you. At least I found it easier.
The swords can spawn as long as the a specific point is on screen. If that point goes off screen, it won't spawn. That point is probably on quite right of the model, which is why, as several people pointed out, the sword can spawn off screen but only on the left
He literally did this two day before this actual one. Except he fell off the cliff before umuu. I watched him play on stream and I failed to sleep that night. Of course he came back and did it again. (So when is Silksong coming out?)
p5ab is a really really super difficult challenge for most hk players; r5(p5 hitless) used to be thougt impossible until blackmoon(another god gamer) did it in 2019, still the hardest challenge certified by TC; BUT NOW WE GOT R5AB before silksong come out, no one can expect such thing, This is THE most hardest challenge in HK, Remto` is not only a god gamer, but a true GOD!
I think the only way you could go further would be Low% Pantheon 5 All Bindings Hitless. It would probably be upwards of 3 hours long, though, because your nail would only do 4 damage per hit and you don't have Shriek (or Wraiths for that matter). I think the sheer tedium and length would discourage anyone from trying it. I hope so, at least.
@@not58me I haven't technically done a low% so I can't be sure, but I've done all bindings, broken nail runs & collector feels extremely hard but possible. Flukemarm is actually scarier for me. Not having at least wraiths makes it sound close to unachievable. Definitely possible with broken nail, all bindings, base spells, though Note: Specifically pantheon versions of bosses. In-world are pretty tame
my favorite part of this, outside of the insane skill demonstrated of course, is that he grabs all of the lifeblood despite it being a hitless run. just to flex. absolute god gamer.
he's so insanely skilled at this game he makes it look easy and I think "yea I could do that"... but then I have to humble myself and remind myself I haven't even beaten nkg yet lmao this was so cool to watch !
Nail binding does affect nail arts. This is included in the og comment, as normally each cyclone slash hit would be 21 (base pure nail) x 1.25 (each hit of cyclone slash does 1.25 x nail damage.) With binding, nail damage is set to 13 with pure nail, and 13 x 1.25 is rounded to 16, as they said in the comment.
@@germanandres24 There are pantheon mods, so doing a modded pantheon 5 all bindings hitless would be harder. Don't underestimate the sadism of hollow knight modders.
45:14 He always waits a little bit to restore shade cloak. So in case that the boss instantly triple slashes after recovering he can dodge by shadecloaking through him.
I just finished my 2nd r5 recently and we have been talking about when r5ab would be accomplished. Amazed it was this soon and watching it just shows how clean the movement is. Hell I would need a few more yesrs to refine my movement like that. They are a machine. Huge amount of props for time and dedication.
@@wqftyzfs2y6 Hitless pantheon 5, abbreviation for it. R refers to radiant. Radiant pantheon 5. Some people refer to hitless pantheon 5 all bidnings as r5ab (so if you see that in the comment section, you now know what it means). Decently common term used on the hk discord
02:01 Cyclone Slash does 1.25x your actual nail damage per hit, so if you land all the hits, the amount of total damage it's like 7,5x the base nail damage, considering that the base damage is 13, 97 damage, that's more damage than base Abyss Shriek, and Soul free (Edit: typo correction)
It would actually be 96 I believe cause instead of multiplying 7.5 x 13, it would be 1.25 x 13 rounded, which would be 16, x 6, which would be 96. You need to round before you multiply.
40:53 If you haven't tried all bindings grey prince zote, you can't know how incredible this perfomance is. When I was practicing that in the hall of gods(mod), I succeded like 8 times out of probably over a hundred attempts on this boss...In attuned only.
@@dreamofyouandi I actually put down the game on Zote. Not even Radiant, just Ascended. I was practicing for P3 because he walled me there --- although watching this run I see I would have been walled by Sly.
Since he uses so much nail arts (at least in my opinion its a lot, i barely remember they are a thing) the fight with sly feels just good, like actually showing him he MASTERED the arts
Remto、 also hold the record of speedrunning P5 AB(1.432+). So he must have done lots of P5 AB runs and he knows when to be aggressive and when to slow down. Really a nice run.
@@mailcs06 Would've been likewise with Nintendo but they did it afterwards, they had a deal with the GP which had HK. Again, it's up to Team Cherry to give the ok but I'm assuming they regret it because they probably continue developing more than they thought which made the fans in copium for 4 years now lol.
Oh god, after watching and playing so many hours of this game, there were so many parts where I was getting anxious, Galien, No Eyes, Markoth, NKG, the freaking AbsRad, that was just, woah, really amazing and impressive achievement there. Thank you for sharing fire! It was really fun to watch
Nah, it also does the most damage on small windows out of all the nail arts. Take, for example, the moment when the false knight falls down and he uses cyclone to hit him as he stands up. If it was for the soul, he could just charge a strong slash and do normal slashes on the jump as the knight lifts himself automatically, or skip nail arts entirely. and just keep slashing. But he wants to do damage on the window and cyclone ends up doing the most.
Fastest nail art damage + soul generation without quick slash, but also the riskiest nail art to use. But I suppose if he's practiced the fights that much to take the challenge on, he knows where his opportunities are.
He is a speed run player.He obtains WR of 45(I don't know how to translate four lock of PAN,Chinese player call it 45).Another player,blackmoon,they compete WR months ago.(blackmoon have quit HK)
I was 50/50 about this ever being done. The difficulty jump between p5 and p5ab is colossal, and so is the jump from p5ab to r5. Doing ANY pantheon hitless requires such a good mastery of everything in it, my mind is blown that someone could be that good at p5ab. Like, yha, he can do it in 35 minutes in speedruns, but still this was just outrageous.
I was surprised during the Absolute Radiance fight when he sometimes used a Great Slash just to hang in the air and avoid oncoming swords. It makes sense, as you do see people do that with spells, but I wasn't expecting it at all.
Might have wanted to stay where he was, rather than move forward. Either for damage dealing reasons, or because something just as dangerous was in the location where the dash would have ended.
The second oblobble phase was actually easier for me during my first playthrough because I did this before watcher knights so this was my first time dealing with multiple bosses
My brick wall is P3 and P4 all bindings. The other day, I was using a mod to show boss hp, and I came so frustratingly close to beating Grey Prince Zote for the first time in the pantheon...I know that Uumuu, hornet sentinel and sly won't be a problem at all even all bindings, but I just can't reach it...! And for pantheon 4, Pure Vessel is the issue: it takes so long to reach them, only to die in two hits. Funnily enought, I first tried pantheon 1&2 all bindings, so I really didn't expect that after 50+ tries the other pantheons would remain undefeated.
@@legrandliseurtri7495 Buddy keep going. P3AB is absolutely harder than P4 because of HOW FUCKING BULLSHIT Zote is when you do that low damage and have no health. I also ended up beating it with a boss HP bar which technically didn't help me out in any way but it did psychologically knowing I'm so close. It took me like 20+, probably more attempts and almost every single one would end at Gay Prince Zote. The very first time I beat him I beat the pantheon with all bindings. Played it so incredibly safe. I think it took me like 18 minutes total.
Hey Fire - I don't know if anyone's mentioned it to you yet or if you'll see this comment, but the waits in Pure Vessel are specifically to allow Shade Cloak to recharge so he'll always have it up. It's necessary for endurance PV fights - which I'd classify this as, even if it's not pure endurance like my specialty, because of how long he's spent tiring himself out on other bosses - and you see the value of that panic button when he has to dash through the triple slash later in the fight. It's just safety.
As someone who couldnt bother to even finish pantheon 3 I am absolutely mind blown by the way Remto demolished this run! Congrats and thanks Fire for all the fun content!
I struggled for Pantheon 1 and I barely did it. I was proud of myself until I saw this run! That's so impressive I don't think I could make it someday...
i feel like this is something that should've happened already given how long the godhome dlc has been out but forget how difficult p5 is, and then hitless, *and then* with all bindings, pretty easy to not realise how amazing this feat really is
Im halfway through the video and godamn, this is just insane! This guy basically mastered every spell, nail hit and shadow dash timing... He has to think so fast about which spell to use and when, simply.. wow.
I hope TeamCherry is waiting for all possible insane challenges in hollow knight to be realized just to anounce something related to silksong. could this be it?
You can clearly see his confidence, he seems to know exactly where the enemies are going to be. And at 13:54 and 32:21 he's just straight up showing off. 34:14 video length explained. Everyone can go home. Mad respect at the Markoth and Zote parts. As someone who hasn't even beaten Pure Vessel yet (had to stay away from my console for a while and forgot how to play the game by the time I got back) I must wonder how many souls this dude sold to the devil to be able to do this.
this was extremely satisfying to watch, as i use a lot of narts and realised that a lot of hk players don't seem to try them out at all the constant use of nail arts and the awareness of when its safe to use cyclone slash, as well as knowing when you have enough time to use them, change this game completely imo, the cyclone slashes used on soul warrior for example were completely safe, you don't feel like a sitting duck if you just use it enough and master it(im not that good at this game but i managed to learn it rather quickly) now i wanna say some of the things I've learned and reasons why narts are underrated -great slash and cyclone slash deal the same damage(or more i forgot) as 2 strength slashes, while only needing one hit -2 cyclone slash hits deal the same damage as great and dash slash, while giving you double the soul -5 cyclone slash hits deal morr damage than 4 abyss shriek hits with shaman's stone -every cyclone slash hit gives you the same amount of soul as any normal hit, so its insane for soul generation -you need 0 charm notches to use nail arts and only 1 to give them an unfairly fast charge up time, that allows you to spam nail arts on almost every fight in the game, this is not risky at all if you have enough game awareness, like Remto i wanna show my usual charm build, that has soul eater, shaman's stone and nailmaster's glory, with 3 notches left i usually go for quick focus because neither quick slash or unbreakable strength are useful when you get so much opportunity to use nail arts and again, nail arts are basically just more effective damage if you're not pairing quick slash and strength -a lot of fights have spots where you can only get one hit on a boss, most of those spots can be covered by great slash to just deal more damage with no drawback -some you can only get 2, on a lot of those you can c-slash and get the same damage but double the soul, but in most of those situations you can get 3 or 4 hits which just gives you so much more damage and soul than quick slash and strength for example when a mantis lord does its projectile attack, or when troupe master grimn does the spike floor, when pure vessel does its spike floor attack overall im not saying that narts are better than qslash and strength combined, but that they are still useful even when those charms are in play, and that they may even be better without them i wish nail arts were talked about more often, because people don't seem to experiment with them a lot and this gem is just hidden from everyone
When I saw that Remto was able to get soul off of the Zote adds, I had the stupidest thought for a second: "Hmm, that's really convenient. Maybe P5 with the nail binding is a better or easier strategy than without it?" Then I came to my senses and felt very embarrassed.
This is truly incredible, I'm really feeling touched only by watching the record. Now I believe that literally INFINITE potential is locked in the hk community.
"Cyclone slash does a lot of damage" THANK YOU CHINESE STREAMER! I never unequipped the blademaster's charm and for this exact reason. Obviously, you don't need to know this if you cna rely on spells a lot, but I am not a speedrunner, and spell opportunities and abusing s isn't my nature, soforever I have endured scoffing by the community. But here we see what the game looks like when you are limited back down for options.
The first time i got cyclone slash i looked up the wiki and realised that, if you dont have strength and quick slash, a full cyclone does about 8 nail hits' worth of damage. Since then I've been abusing it so hard on bosses that have windows to use it on. So if you wanna save 6 notches for other charms and still get mad nail damage in, just put nailmaster's glory on, and become the killing machine you always wanted to be
I like it because it leaves you with the option to still do a strong spell build. In my last playthrough I got a strong appreciation for shaman stone + spell twister + sprintmaster + grubsong + weaversong + nailmaster's glory (with 1 charm slot left over for preference). The soul generation is absolutely insane, and it gives you room to add the most overpowered boss killing charm, wayward compass. (For real though, I usually added steady body into the mix)
45:15 little wait there looks like it was for shade cloak to refresh, I do same on pv incase of accidental parry trigger when pv stands. Small precaution
I’ve been integrating much of Remto’s strategy into my own (because it is so much better). The more moves of his I learn, the more I admire his skill as a player. For example I tried to copy his moves in the soul master fight and it’s hard but I got it together. I love the way his moves collect enough soul for the next spell and said spell is also in a place that is likely to double hit the boss. The moves seamlessly flow when done right. Respect ✨
fire: "if you're [planning to] do pantheon 5 hitless, this is probably something that's really good to study" me, just starting HK in the year 2024 and feeling proud of clearing Pantheon 1 for the first time: :') "noted"
It was really interesting to see the absrad fight. I saw a lot of plays similar to what I, as a casual player, do. There were also a lot of really interesting plays as well that seemed really calculated. This absrad fight seemed much closer to a casual absrad fight than the speedrun variant, which seems counterintuitive and is quite interesting.
It's the inability to chain spellls making the biggest difference, and wanting to save the one when important. Casual players generally don't use spells as well as a content producer, or try to conserve soul they have for healing and dives. It is absolutely making a big difference in what approaches are viable, and thus, becomes the closest to that conservative style. It's the same reason why he uses the strong slash for air time (seen best against horizontal AbsRad blades), where most speedrunners are used to default with vengeful spirit. But it's not the only one. Short Nail and default attack speed makes this Sly fight the closest to a casual one. Since most people panic from his attack's range and speed, and can't find soul back, responding to Sly with your own Nail Arts is frequently the bread and butter of how the fight goes, as it compensates for that range. Here, of course, the master is doing dash slash into regular slash into vengeful, because he knows the fight inside out, but its clear the fundamentals spawned from the same "How can I deal the most damage possible, on no soul, in the exceptionally small windows I'm given?".
37:18 "Once [Markorth's spinning shield attack] starts, if you're doing a hitless run, you really don't wanna interact with that attack at all." ..And then Remto immediately violates the boss' personal space harder than that creepy handsy drunk middle-manager you always get stuck in conversation with at the office Christmas part.
It's hard enough just completing P5 all-binds at all - I took 48 hits, could maybe push it to sub-30 hits. But Remto's run is also twice is fast as mine, with so many risky speed strats! I had expected that a hitless run might be possible for an insane player; not surprised it turned out to be the WR speedrunner of P5 all-binds!
Honestly this might have impressed me just as much as if not more than the best P5 speedruns, the way he plays so smart, knows every fight so well, and acts so confidently like he's a TAS is so impressive.
This guy have the spirit of new players who are tryna get through hornet in green path and skill of no human on planet it's just nope the sheer fukin will and dedication is just no I have no words
when a base game challenge proves to be harder than a modded boss designed to be impossible. Also, even though I am well versed in the ways of hollow knight, I appreciate the tidbits of "late-game knowledge" that some of the normies might not have known :)
@@phaolo6 that's more like a competition for fun at the end of the day. speedrunners generally speedrun cause they have the competitive spirit to find it fun to try and be better than others. But as for the original comment, idk why it was phrased as if there's some material reward you'd get out of being good at this game.
NKG is pretty easy once you get used to him, I can't say the same about ascended Markoth and Absolute Radiance, they can still be pretty hard even after more than 100 tries because their insane RNG.
Dude I thought he got hit on soul master like two separate times got damn. I would have died inside if I had to get out of that kind of situation, kudos to homie for keeping cool. also kudos for, y’know, doing the hardest challenge the game has to offer. that too.
Its always nice and relaxing to watch you commented anything hollow knight. With this kind of community, I am actually surprised that there is no holllow knight esport related event. It seems that there is still so much potential even 5 years after its release. Maybe you can initiate, an esport run and commentate by you will surely draw huge audience.
the WR speedrunner of a challenge category also being the first to beat it hitless isn't surprising in the least, but man Remto is cracked. (Remto also holds the all bindings WR speedrun, so if anyone knows how to get through PR all bindings it's Remto)

@@wqftyzfs2y6 Hitless pantheon 5, abbreviation for it. R refers to radiant. Radiant pantheon 5.
Some people refer to hitless pantheon 5 all bidnings as r5ab (so if you see that in the comment section, you now know what it means). Decently common term used on the hk discord
thanks for the explanations
02:01 Cyclone Slash does 1.25x your actual nail damage per hit, so if you land all the hits, the amount of total damage it's like 7,5x the base nail damage, considering that the base damage is 13, 97 damage, that's more damage than base Abyss Shriek, and Soul free
(Edit: typo correction)
It would actually be 96 I believe cause instead of multiplying 7.5 x 13, it would be 1.25 x 13 rounded, which would be 16, x 6, which would be 96. You need to round before you multiply.
Nail arts are not affected by strength, so on a charmless run it’s actually a saved glory
nail arts are affected by the nail binding though.@@林泓旭-i1d
40:53 If you haven't tried all bindings grey prince zote, you can't know how incredible this perfomance is. When I was practicing that in the hall of gods(mod), I succeded like 8 times out of probably over a hundred attempts on this boss...In attuned only.
I can't even compete in pantheons without sprintmaster at a bare minimum lol. Even just no charms alone would give me a hard time.
Ive done p5 all bindings and I’ll say it just takes timing and zotes sound like ques
grey prince zote has made me literally the most infuriated i have ever been in a video game
@@dreamofyouandi Absrad on ascended and later on radiant is the one that made me rage the most in HK. Great fight on attuned difficulty tho.
@@dreamofyouandi I actually put down the game on Zote. Not even Radiant, just Ascended. I was practicing for P3 because he walled me there --- although watching this run I see I would have been walled by Sly.

"Its such a long fight"
Bro haven’t seen my fighting with no bindings max upgrade yet
Since he uses so much nail arts (at least in my opinion its a lot, i barely remember they are a thing) the fight with sly feels just good, like actually showing him he MASTERED the arts
He freaking _knew_ how much HP Radiance had. He knew _exactly_ when the fight was over. That was such hype ending :o
The ultimate meme run: p5 all bindings hitless except mask binding
Impossible
This challenge would be easy with mask binding
@@t3rrorbladez72 yeah😃
Remto、 also hold the record of speedrunning P5 AB(1.432+). So he must have done lots of P5 AB runs and he knows when to be aggressive and when to slow down. Really a nice run.
50:33 that little pause before he finished off the boss speaks volumes. I can only imagine what he was feeling.
I just finished NKG and Path of Pain and was feeling quite proud of myself.
This humbled me QUICK 😂

Oh god, after watching and playing so many hours of this game, there were so many parts where I was getting anxious, Galien, No Eyes, Markoth, NKG, the freaking AbsRad, that was just, woah, really amazing and impressive achievement there.
Thank you for sharing fire! It was really fun to watch
I think the reason he used cyclone slash so much is because each hit gave soul and it was the fastest way for him to max out his soul constantly
Nah, it also does the most damage on small windows out of all the nail arts. Take, for example, the moment when the false knight falls down and he uses cyclone to hit him as he stands up. If it was for the soul, he could just charge a strong slash and do normal slashes on the jump as the knight lifts himself automatically, or skip nail arts entirely. and just keep slashing. But he wants to do damage on the window and cyclone ends up doing the most.
Fastest nail art damage + soul generation without quick slash, but also the riskiest nail art to use. But I suppose if he's practiced the fights that much to take the challenge on, he knows where his opportunities are.
if you get good at using it, cyclone slash is quite safe in a lot of situations, Remto never used it when it was risky
He is a speed run player.He obtains WR of 45(I don't know how to translate four lock of PAN,Chinese player call it 45).Another player,blackmoon,they compete WR months ago.(blackmoon have quit HK)
@@chaoye1783 Think it would be called p5 AB (p5 all-binding) or something
I was 50/50 about this ever being done. The difficulty jump between p5 and p5ab is colossal, and so is the jump from p5ab to r5. Doing ANY pantheon hitless requires such a good mastery of everything in it, my mind is blown that someone could be that good at p5ab. Like, yha, he can do it in 35 minutes in speedruns, but still this was just outrageous.
I was surprised during the Absolute Radiance fight when he sometimes used a Great Slash just to hang in the air and avoid oncoming swords. It makes sense, as you do see people do that with spells, but I wasn't expecting it at all.
why don't he just dash through it?
Might have wanted to stay where he was, rather than move forward. Either for damage dealing reasons, or because something just as dangerous was in the location where the dash would have ended.
I like doing that because I never let the attack button go in that battle
45:10 That pause is to recover shade cloak.
Here I am struggling to get past The Collector with all bindings and here's this guy making it look like another day at the park. Absolute skill.
The second oblobble phase was actually easier for me during my first playthrough because I did this before watcher knights so this was my first time dealing with multiple bosses
He probably wanted to cyclone slash and didn't want to deal with desynced oblobbles
gg's to the guy who managed to do this, i cant even do regular p5 lmao
Same
My brick wall is P3 and P4 all bindings. The other day, I was using a mod to show boss hp, and I came so frustratingly close to beating Grey Prince Zote for the first time in the pantheon...I know that Uumuu, hornet sentinel and sly won't be a problem at all even all bindings, but I just can't reach it...! And for pantheon 4, Pure Vessel is the issue: it takes so long to reach them, only to die in two hits. Funnily enought, I first tried pantheon 1&2 all bindings, so I really didn't expect that after 50+ tries the other pantheons would remain undefeated.
@@legrandliseurtri7495 P3 with just charm bindings was already hard AF to beat for me and I can't do the same for P4 atm.
@@legrandliseurtri7495 Buddy keep going. P3AB is absolutely harder than P4 because of HOW FUCKING BULLSHIT Zote is when you do that low damage and have no health. I also ended up beating it with a boss HP bar which technically didn't help me out in any way but it did psychologically knowing I'm so close. It took me like 20+, probably more attempts and almost every single one would end at Gay Prince Zote.
The very first time I beat him I beat the pantheon with all bindings. Played it so incredibly safe. I think it took me like 18 minutes total.
@@legrandliseurtri7495 i died to gpz so much i decided to replay the entire game, with the exception of ignoring zote on green path.
Hey Fire - I don't know if anyone's mentioned it to you yet or if you'll see this comment, but the waits in Pure Vessel are specifically to allow Shade Cloak to recharge so he'll always have it up. It's necessary for endurance PV fights - which I'd classify this as, even if it's not pure endurance like my specialty, because of how long he's spent tiring himself out on other bosses - and you see the value of that panic button when he has to dash through the triple slash later in the fight. It's just safety.
As someone who couldnt bother to even finish pantheon 3 I am absolutely mind blown by the way Remto demolished this run! Congrats and thanks Fire for all the fun content!
I struggled for Pantheon 1 and I barely did it. I was proud of myself until I saw this run! That's so impressive I don't think I could make it someday...
This is getting insane. We need Silksong soon
haha
people are doing crazy shit
i feel like this is something that should've happened already given how long the godhome dlc has been out but forget how difficult p5 is, and then hitless, *and then* with all bindings, pretty easy to not realise how amazing this feat really is
Why your name is so fucking weird
Im halfway through the video and godamn, this is just insane! This guy basically mastered every spell, nail hit and shadow dash timing... He has to think so fast about which spell to use and when, simply.. wow.
The sheer composure that this man has is inhuman, even the no eyes fight stressed me out to watch
I hope TeamCherry is waiting for all possible insane challenges in hollow knight to be realized just to anounce something related to silksong. could this be it?
Fireborn> omg it takes so long it's the longest run I've ever seen
Me, spending the same amount of time without any bindings> .____.
You gotta love a run where even Fireb0rn goes "What the fuck was that?"
The no eyes fight had me screaming in terror.
1:40
"This is the longest Gruzmother i have ever seen"
Hold my hollow knight plushie
You can clearly see his confidence, he seems to know exactly where the enemies are going to be. And at 13:54 and 32:21 he's just straight up showing off.
34:14 video length explained. Everyone can go home.
Mad respect at the Markoth and Zote parts.
As someone who hasn't even beaten Pure Vessel yet (had to stay away from my console for a while and forgot how to play the game by the time I got back) I must wonder how many souls this dude sold to the devil to be able to do this.
I just realised, Pure Vessel doesn't scream because it has "No voice to cry suffering". But normal Hollow Knight does scream. Cool little detail
If I recall correctly, that's the Radiance scream. Broken Vessel/Lost Kin does the exact same scream as well.
Holy shit it was so obvious and I never saw it
There is something really funny about the Radiance's theme playing during elder hu's fight
i genuinely thought silksong would be out before r5ab was done. also finally someone appreciating how hard it is to shriek soul tyrant in phase 2
this was extremely satisfying to watch, as i use a lot of narts and realised that a lot of hk players don't seem to try them out at all
the constant use of nail arts and the awareness of when its safe to use cyclone slash, as well as knowing when you have enough time to use them, change this game completely imo, the cyclone slashes used on soul warrior for example were completely safe, you don't feel like a sitting duck if you just use it enough and master it(im not that good at this game but i managed to learn it rather quickly)
now i wanna say some of the things I've learned and reasons why narts are underrated
-great slash and cyclone slash deal the same damage(or more i forgot) as 2 strength slashes, while only needing one hit
-2 cyclone slash hits deal the same damage as great and dash slash, while giving you double the soul
-5 cyclone slash hits deal morr damage than 4 abyss shriek hits with shaman's stone
-every cyclone slash hit gives you the same amount of soul as any normal hit, so its insane for soul generation
-you need 0 charm notches to use nail arts and only 1 to give them an unfairly fast charge up time, that allows you to spam nail arts on almost every fight in the game, this is not risky at all if you have enough game awareness, like Remto
i wanna show my usual charm build, that has soul eater, shaman's stone and nailmaster's glory, with 3 notches left i usually go for quick focus because neither quick slash or unbreakable strength are useful when you get so much opportunity to use nail arts
and again, nail arts are basically just more effective damage if you're not pairing quick slash and strength
-a lot of fights have spots where you can only get one hit on a boss, most of those spots can be covered by great slash to just deal more damage with no drawback
-some you can only get 2, on a lot of those you can c-slash and get the same damage but double the soul, but in most of those situations you can get 3 or 4 hits which just gives you so much more damage and soul than quick slash and strength
for example when a mantis lord does its projectile attack, or when troupe master grimn does the spike floor, when pure vessel does its spike floor attack
overall im not saying that narts are better than qslash and strength combined, but that they are still useful even when those charms are in play, and that they may even be better without them
i wish nail arts were talked about more often, because people don't seem to experiment with them a lot and this gem is just hidden from everyone
The pinging noise is just his steel balls clinging into each other.
When I saw that Remto was able to get soul off of the Zote adds, I had the stupidest thought for a second: "Hmm, that's really convenient. Maybe P5 with the nail binding is a better or easier strategy than without it?" Then I came to my senses and felt very embarrassed.
btw if you're confident at failed champion you can always tank zote and use the failed champ/false knight cheese to get full soul and health
This is potentially the most impressive gaming feat I have ever seen
This is truly incredible, I'm really feeling touched only by watching the record. Now I believe that literally INFINITE potential is locked in the hk community.
Cyclone Slash is GOATED in all binding runs
There is something satisfying about him using all the nail arts against Sly.
"Cyclone slash does a lot of damage"
THANK YOU CHINESE STREAMER! I never unequipped the blademaster's charm and for this exact reason. Obviously, you don't need to know this if you cna rely on spells a lot, but I am not a speedrunner, and spell opportunities and abusing s isn't my nature, soforever I have endured scoffing by the community. But here we see what the game looks like when you are limited back down for options.
The first time i got cyclone slash i looked up the wiki and realised that, if you dont have strength and quick slash, a full cyclone does about 8 nail hits' worth of damage. Since then I've been abusing it so hard on bosses that have windows to use it on. So if you wanna save 6 notches for other charms and still get mad nail damage in, just put nailmaster's glory on, and become the killing machine you always wanted to be
I like it because it leaves you with the option to still do a strong spell build. In my last playthrough I got a strong appreciation for shaman stone + spell twister + sprintmaster + grubsong + weaversong + nailmaster's glory (with 1 charm slot left over for preference). The soul generation is absolutely insane, and it gives you room to add the most overpowered boss killing charm, wayward compass.
(For real though, I usually added steady body into the mix)
45:15 little wait there looks like it was for shade cloak to refresh, I do same on pv incase of accidental parry trigger when pv stands. Small precaution
I’ve been integrating much of Remto’s strategy into my own (because it is so much better). The more moves of his I learn, the more I admire his skill as a player.
For example I tried to copy his moves in the soul master fight and it’s hard but I got it together. I love the way his moves collect enough soul for the next spell and said spell is also in a place that is likely to double hit the boss. The moves seamlessly flow when done right.
Respect ✨
6:35 the music timing up with the dive is just straight up very pleasant editing 👍
It's wild that this is about the same length as my first pantheon 5 victory
Same, Pantheon 5 was really really hard for me! Was expecting it after the last pantheons.
fire: "if you're [planning to] do pantheon 5 hitless, this is probably something that's really good to study"
me, just starting HK in the year 2024 and feeling proud of clearing Pantheon 1 for the first time: :') "noted"
It was really interesting to see the absrad fight. I saw a lot of plays similar to what I, as a casual player, do. There were also a lot of really interesting plays as well that seemed really calculated. This absrad fight seemed much closer to a casual absrad fight than the speedrun variant, which seems counterintuitive and is quite interesting.
It's the inability to chain spellls making the biggest difference, and wanting to save the one when important. Casual players generally don't use spells as well as a content producer, or try to conserve soul they have for healing and dives. It is absolutely making a big difference in what approaches are viable, and thus, becomes the closest to that conservative style. It's the same reason why he uses the strong slash for air time (seen best against horizontal AbsRad blades), where most speedrunners are used to default with vengeful spirit.
But it's not the only one. Short Nail and default attack speed makes this Sly fight the closest to a casual one. Since most people panic from his attack's range and speed, and can't find soul back, responding to Sly with your own Nail Arts is frequently the bread and butter of how the fight goes, as it compensates for that range. Here, of course, the master is doing dash slash into regular slash into vengeful, because he knows the fight inside out, but its clear the fundamentals spawned from the same "How can I deal the most damage possible, on no soul, in the exceptionally small windows I'm given?".
37:18 "Once [Markorth's spinning shield attack] starts, if you're doing a hitless run, you really don't wanna interact with that attack at all."
..And then Remto immediately violates the boss' personal space harder than that creepy handsy drunk middle-manager you always get stuck in conversation with at the office Christmas part.
It's hard enough just completing P5 all-binds at all - I took 48 hits, could maybe push it to sub-30 hits. But Remto's run is also twice is fast as mine, with so many risky speed strats! I had expected that a hitless run might be possible for an insane player; not surprised it turned out to be the WR speedrunner of P5 all-binds!
Honestly this might have impressed me just as much as if not more than the best P5 speedruns, the way he plays so smart, knows every fight so well, and acts so confidently like he's a TAS is so impressive.
the reaction to the soul tyrant clock attack was so good you can tell he spent a long time on that
This guy have the spirit of new players who are tryna get through hornet in green path and skill of no human on planet it's just nope the sheer fukin will and dedication is just no I have no words
Back when I first played, I found Gallien and died to him more than any other boss. Except maybe Traitor Lord and Hornet Sentinel
Legend has it that Team Cherry was waiting for someone to truly master Hollow Knight before they would release Silksong. The day has finally arrived…
"That's the longest grubsmother i have ever seen "
You have obviously never seen me fight it 😂😂🤣
Did anyone notice the orb that was about to spawn on top of him as he finished off abs rad? That would've been a heartbreaking finish
I came here to ask that 😵😵 what a tense way to finish the fight!
Wow good eye!
when a base game challenge proves to be harder than a modded boss designed to be impossible.
Also, even though I am well versed in the ways of hollow knight, I appreciate the tidbits of "late-game knowledge" that some of the normies might not have known :)
This is some of the smartest and most creative nail art play I've ever seen
looking at this, im reconsidering if it's actually worth training to be better at hk or not
Same.
In what sense? For fun, then sure. But it's not like there's a competitive scene for hk
@@lunaris5685 speedrunners would disagree, but I get your point 😛
@@phaolo6 that's more like a competition for fun at the end of the day. speedrunners generally speedrun cause they have the competitive spirit to find it fun to try and be better than others.

It's a time investment, also you can't get better at hollow knight, hollow knight trains you.
This is absolutely insane, congrats and huge respect to Remto!
brings back all the P5 (no bindings non-hitless) feels of my own. But this is so much more than it.
I'm pretty sure that in the pure vessel fight he waited for his shade cloak to recover before unstaggering them
Now that you mention it, it's pretty clear that's exactly what's happening. I didn't spot it myself.

事实上，在昨晚刚刚得知remto完成这一成就之后我兴奋地难以入眠，虽然不在直播现场，但不难想象直播间的氛围XD。
@@comb1870 4🔐！
Remto is a speedrunner focusing on all bindings P5, about 35min 54s and he keeps the wr.
Since i’m a casual gamer it’s funny how you say it’s so long because it’s actually the duration of how I beat the bosses xD
The fact that he can beat nkg with full bindings faster than I can with none...
NKG is pretty easy once you get used to him, I can't say the same about ascended Markoth and Absolute Radiance, they can still be pretty hard even after more than 100 tries because their insane RNG.
Dude I thought he got hit on soul master like two separate times got damn. I would have died inside if I had to get out of that kind of situation, kudos to homie for keeping cool.
also kudos for, y’know, doing the hardest challenge the game has to offer. that too.
I kinda noticed that the lifeblood masks go off screen. That both impressed and terrified me.
"That jump was scary"
I mean doing the whole run is scary af
Even watching it was scary AF, despite knowing the final successful outcome 😱
Its always nice and relaxing to watch you commented anything hollow knight. With this kind of community, I am actually surprised that there is no holllow knight esport related event. It seems that there is still so much potential even 5 years after its release. Maybe you can initiate, an esport run and commentate by you will surely draw huge audience.
the WR speedrunner of a challenge category also being the first to beat it hitless isn't surprising in the least, but man Remto is cracked. (Remto also holds the all bindings WR speedrun, so if anyone knows how to get through PR all bindings it's Remto)
ive learned there are i frames built into descending dark
i never knew i was nerfing myself by never using it, i always thought it was something that just made you vulnerable
So soon after the Celeste 100% deathless run too, insane!!
If I ever attempted this I think I would cry-
Props to that guy for having the endurance to complete this
