I still remember when I asked you "Do you think a sub 3 is possible?" when the record was somewhere around 3:12 and you said something like "probably, but it would have to be extremely optimized"... Well, we have come a damn long way! Absolutely insane achievement, I have nothing but respect for your dedication! Well done :)
He's the greatest of all time. the Goatest of all goats. GG monstah. absolutely insane. i will now perpetually switch to chasing the "non monstah wr" like it's 2021 again LMAO
Your HK speedruns are really nice to fall asleep to. I think it's the combo of no commentary + you keeping the in game sounds pretty quiet. It's pretty comfy. Thanks, hope you break more of your records 🤞
As someone who has played Hollow knight for a couple of years, its amazing to see your near flawless movement and consistency. Especially minor timesaves such as getting hit out of a pickup animation by an enemy that was lured into that exact position are an absolute joy to see. Its truely fascinating to see how far this games speedrun community has come. Huge congratulations on your sub 3 hour run and world record. You really deserve it. I can´t wait to see what Silksong will have in store for the Hollow knight community.
@@MaukikiHonestly I hope it’s a good bit harder than HK, i think it would be a good way of bringing back old players and enticing new players to play the two in order and gradually get better like some of us did!
It's truly incredible that you've achieved this. I watched the build up of the repeated runs slowly getting closer to the sub-3h mark. You're a dedicated machine and really fun to watch. Bravo!
Man. Seriously you are incredible. I remeber watching your speedruns so long ago and wondering why people do thus type of this. But after doing a seemingly impossible challenge myself I have nothing but respect for you Monsta. I do not think it is an exaggeration to say you are the single best Hollow Knight player. Thank you so much for inspiring me, so many others and pushing the game far... far beyond what anyone thought was possible. You are a legend. 😊
doing 'impossible' challenges is so fun, rn i'm trying to get my pantheons done since i finished the game not so long ago ( i could finish it much sooner, but i was so lazy 💀 ) , im on the pantheon of the artist ( i think that's what its called )
My fav moments: 00:12:26 that almost sounded like a club mix 🎵 00:13:21 dash at perfect timing to prevent the hard fall + immediately hitting the mushroom to jump up + perfect skip execution 🔥 00:27:19 desolate dive collection skip 00:28:31 flying with the Seer :D 00:31:44 almost dying to regular aspids 💀 00:41:43 Lost Kin arena exit, that blob spawned at the last possible moment 00:45:22 Golb essence collection skip + jumping up to the hidden station 00:53:44 exiting the Failed Champion arena while killing him off screen 01:05:05 No Eyes essense collection skip 01:07:48 Kingdom's edge acid skip 01:09:00 grimmchild kill 01:13:39 Isma's tear collection skip 01:18:16 cyclone drops (this one and just in general throughout the run) 01:21:09 the mantis lords died so fast xD 01:30:43 boss kill with three different spells 01:38:43 nosk dying off-screen 01:41:10 that dash downward 01:43:36 primal aspid killed by a stalactite 01:47:33 flying with the bee :D 01:49:12 busting that vengefly out to use it for soul collection later 02:08:27 cyclone attacks 02:09:27 leading one to the other and then killing them together 02:10:15 vengefly missed bc of shade soul 2:14:29 this entire part leading up to Joni's blessing. So smooth 2:18:22 flying past dying Quirrel 2:20:17 considering MonStah is carrying the delicate flower that was so badass 🔥 2:29:45 using cyclone drop here 😱 my heart almost stopped 2:30:10 that difficult skip succeeding with the last attempt 😱 2:33:36 lifeblood door opening + abyss opening skip 2:37:44 MonStah having just barely enough geo for the last nail upgrade (how well calculated this whole run is) Yeah beating the bosses in the main game + beating them again in the 4 pantheons + beating them YET AGAIN in P5 - that is too much man 😅. My brain is frying itself just looking at MonStah fight them over and over 3:18:12 that was so close 3:20:57 barely dodged that fireball! Congrats on sub 3 MonStahLer!!
Ok, I know Hollow Knight speedruns have impressive movement, but this run in particular has some insane movement. You can just see how carefully and rigorously every room’s movement was mapped and rehearsed. Truly amazing, gg Monstah!
Honestly, that was incredible to watch! Nice job! I hit 112% for my first time last year, so it's still pretty fresh in my mind. Took me months. This is just beyond amazing! Nice job!
damn this is incredible. i think your speedruns were some of the earliest hk content i ever watched. so surreal to see how far you've come as a runner, and how far we've come as a fanbase
I cannot express the amount of respect I have for you ! You're without a doubt the most dedicated and actually the best hollow knight player! Much love for your work !
Wow your blood is boiling! Such a pleasure to watch you play. You make it look so effortless while in reality hundreds if not thousands of hours of practice went into it!
I remember Monsta saying in a live stream he had around 20 thousand hours of gameplay a couple of years ago, so it would be safe to asume he now has close to 30k.
I didn’t know you still speedran hollow knight. Glad to see you’re back at it. This is definitely the best speedrun to have ever happened in any category for this game
Absolutely godlike run! It's hard to even believe someone can be this amazing at a game like this. Every screen down to a science, every fight as close to perfect as can be as long as rng lines up, it's seriously mind blowing. Gg's! Legendary run! Its a good thing there isn't a whole lot of time for him to read chat, I can't even imagine how annoying some of that would be. People spamming "noooooo!" And "why????" every time even the slightest bit of bad rng happens. There were even a few people who would spam that stuff even when he got a gold split because they don't understand how it works lol! Must feel great to have this accomplishment under the belt and behind you. I wonder how long this legendary run will stand? My guess is quite a long time... we shall see.
Hollow Knight was the first game of its kind / challenge level I fought my way through (since being a good deal younger anyway) and was able to enjoy 'blind', unspoiled. Still not quite at 112% I think, but close. Having fought to achieve that much over many hours and through a metric ton of frustration, watching this I cannot imagine the amount of effort between the routing and execution. Incredibly well-done.
Absolutely incredible achievement! Watching this run was mesmerizing. I would love to watch the commentary too if you decide to do one after all! You are a legend. Also, zoommunga & nopemunga never failed to make me laugh, totally not what I was expecting watching this. ˃̣̣̥‿˂̣̣̥
I've watched the video several times, but I confess that this worm appearing all the time making this noise is very annoying. Congratulations on the records. You're amazing
I recently started playing this masterpiece of a game and to see this... Mind blowing. Truly mesmerizing to watch. Also, just because its where I am in the video, there was something so wholesome and hilarious about Grimmchild getting the final hit on Hornet 2 🤣 Update 7 months later: I've now made it to P5, gotten as far as NKG and am angry at how easy Monstah and others make it look 😂.
Personally? Start with meme runs! They’re often short and only slightly optimised, so you can learn the routes and actively participate in making the run better in an already existing game community. Once you’re ready you can try to use what you’ve learned to study a real route like 112 or anything else you wanna try!
The legendary MonStahLer does it again. Seriously, idk what Silksong will need to offer to challenge all the God Gamers in the HK community. GG God Gamer.
I still remember when I asked you "Do you think a sub 3 is possible?" when the record was somewhere around 3:12 and you said something like "probably, but it would have to be extremely optimized"...

When will silksong finally release

Your HK speedruns are really nice to fall asleep to. I think it's the combo of no commentary + you keeping the in game sounds pretty quiet.

I’m😅😮🎉😢🎉😢😢😢
It's truly incredible that you've achieved this. I watched the build up of the repeated runs slowly getting closer to the sub-3h mark. You're a dedicated machine and really fun to watch. Bravo!
It's crazy how optimized this was for the whole 3 hours. Glad to watch this from the sidelines.
My favorite part of mon's runs of pantheons is that he always swings to the beat between bosses.
Finally, someone else notices!
you have to do that in games, it's the law
bro, thank you so much. I have never noticed it, cause I´m always so impressed by the clean bosses. This is my new favorite thing as well.
Man. Seriously you are incredible. I remeber watching your speedruns so long ago and wondering why people do thus type of this. But after doing a seemingly impossible challenge myself I have nothing but respect for you Monsta.
I do not think it is an exaggeration to say you are the single best Hollow Knight player. Thank you so much for inspiring me, so many others and pushing the game far... far beyond what anyone thought was possible.
You are a legend. 😊
Personally I think the person who did all bindings P5 with no damage is the best player in the world.
@@legrandliseurtri7495 I would not argue with that.
@@legrandliseurtri7495 there are two players that did it and would qualify for that though
@@JayTrud three now

The Flower Quest section is incredible. Make one wrong move, take one point of damage, and your run is over. Amazing job.
My fav moments:
00:12:26 that almost sounded like a club mix 🎵
00:13:21 dash at perfect timing to prevent the hard fall + immediately hitting the mushroom to jump up + perfect skip execution 🔥
00:27:19 desolate dive collection skip
00:28:31 flying with the Seer :D
00:31:44 almost dying to regular aspids 💀
00:41:43 Lost Kin arena exit, that blob spawned at the last possible moment
00:45:22 Golb essence collection skip + jumping up to the hidden station
00:53:44 exiting the Failed Champion arena while killing him off screen
01:05:05 No Eyes essense collection skip
01:07:48 Kingdom's edge acid skip
01:09:00 grimmchild kill
01:13:39 Isma's tear collection skip
01:18:16 cyclone drops (this one and just in general throughout the run)
01:21:09 the mantis lords died so fast xD
01:30:43 boss kill with three different spells
01:38:43 nosk dying off-screen
01:41:10 that dash downward
01:43:36 primal aspid killed by a stalactite
01:47:33 flying with the bee :D
01:49:12 busting that vengefly out to use it for soul collection later
02:08:27 cyclone attacks
02:09:27 leading one to the other and then killing them together
02:10:15 vengefly missed bc of shade soul
2:14:29 this entire part leading up to Joni's blessing. So smooth
2:18:22 flying past dying Quirrel
2:20:17 considering MonStah is carrying the delicate flower that was so badass 🔥
2:29:45 using cyclone drop here 😱 my heart almost stopped
2:30:10 that difficult skip succeeding with the last attempt 😱
2:33:36 lifeblood door opening + abyss opening skip
2:37:44 MonStah having just barely enough geo for the last nail upgrade (how well calculated this whole run is)
Yeah beating the bosses in the main game + beating them again in the 4 pantheons + beating them YET AGAIN in P5 - that is too much man 😅. My brain is frying itself just looking at MonStah fight them over and over
3:18:12 that was so close
3:20:57 barely dodged that fireball!
Congrats on sub 3 MonStahLer!!
Glad to be there live, insane run by an insane player
GG man
GG monstah, I knew it was only a matter of time, and it was great being there to see this run live!
Ok, I know Hollow Knight speedruns have impressive movement, but this run in particular has some insane movement. You can just see how carefully and rigorously every room’s movement was mapped and rehearsed. Truly amazing, gg Monstah!
Wow... I thought we'd lost you - haven't seen your content in my feed for the longest time - and you hit back with THIS. Well done!

I cannot express the amount of respect I have for you ! You're without a doubt the most dedicated and actually the best hollow knight player! Much love for your work !
Aperture Science would like to inform you that the Flukemungas will never threaten to Dream Nail you in your sleep, and in fact, cannot speak.
Holy shit CONGRATS !!! Huge run
As a long-time lurker, I'm so proud of you. Great job!
The movement is just beautiful to watch, even more than the fights
This is incredible. You're still the king.
oh wow, great job man! really happy for you
Невероятное достижение, я даже боюсь представить, сколько времени занял раутинг этого монстра) Мои поздравления, братан
This video is breathtaking. Literally was holding my breath for 10 seconds from time to time.
GG dude! This is a huge achievement and you should feel awesome for this!
GG king, was so fun to watch this journey happen!
That was insane tho, your skills have gone through the roof. Excellent show.
MonStahLer is basically the Radiance of all HK speedrunners, huge ggs & congrats!
Wow your blood is boiling! Such a pleasure to watch you play. You make it look so effortless while in reality hundreds if not thousands of hours of practice went into it!

@@runeciti Oh wow that's insane but really makes sense, every single move has to be perfected and executed correctly every time
1:09:03 Grimmothy coming in clutch
1:13:40 that was some optimized whrmping
1:14:45 that's one way to find the G spot
I didn’t know you still speedran hollow knight. Glad to see you’re back at it. This is definitely the best speedrun to have ever happened in any category for this game
CONGRATS MONSTAH!!! this is insane
45:15 Gorb killed in 2 seconds, used the fly to skip the animation and pogoed the same fly to reach de hidden station... wow
Wow. This was insane! Congrats, Monstah!
Huge congrats dude, that’s an amazing accomplishment.
wild bro i remember following along your route like years ago probably by now, surprised ur running it again this is POGGERS
Amazing run MonStahLer, you're an inspiration! ❤❤
Absolutely godlike run! It's hard to even believe someone can be this amazing at a game like this. Every screen down to a science, every fight as close to perfect as can be as long as rng lines up, it's seriously mind blowing. Gg's! Legendary run!
Its a good thing there isn't a whole lot of time for him to read chat, I can't even imagine how annoying some of that would be. People spamming "noooooo!"

Absolutely beautiful run man!

Insane. Would love to see a commentary
Incredible. I'd love to see commentary over this!
I first just had this vid on as background noise but god damn i got invested in it in the last hour
You absolute mad lad you’ve actually done it.
Nice
well done kind Sir, good luck in the future.
GG monstah, you are a legend.
I've watched the video several times, but I confess that this worm appearing all the time making this noise is very annoying. Congratulations on the records. You're amazing
gg king. sorry to have missed it. hope you enjoy a break, if you're taking one. much love

OMG! Amazing! Incredible run! First sub 3 LETS GOOOOO ❤
the amount of skill necessary to pull this off is insane. good work!
Man, you are truly incredible. You gotta do a speedrun w/ voice now
Welcome back to TH-cam
my god this is insane, I have triple digit hours sunken into HK on a single slot thats been stuck at 111% for ages lol
Very impressive run! Never knew you could air dash down 😂. Watching these gives me hope that Silksong will one day be released
its only possible to do that with dashmaster
Congrats!
This is absolutely crazy, cant wait for Blues Video
Awesome run, even if it's beaten one day this will always be the first sub 3
That was freaking incredible
At the moment my record is 102% in 36 hours
Mines 8 hours 💀
Mine is 110% in 10 hours.
keep going bro
Same
Do you think it's okay to go for 112% APB as my first speedrunning category? This looks like a lot of fun!
It's pretty challenging to start with 112% compared to other categories, but it's doable, I know of a few runners that started with 112%
Personally? Start with meme runs! They’re often short and only slightly optimised, so you can learn the routes and actively participate in making the run better in an already existing game community.
Once you’re ready you can try to use what you’ve learned to study a real route like 112 or anything else you wanna try!
damn gg bro, congrats:)
Insane run, well done Monstahler 👏 👏👏👏
Actual god gamer, WP
LESGOOOO I am so proud of you!
With how much the inputs light up at times, one has to imagine what his keyboard sounds like during all this
