Sub 3:30 next!
Decent ~ish run, but still had a lot of mistakes.
Frequently Asked Questions:
Q: Do you play on a controller or a keyboard?
A: Keyboard (Not mechanical)
Q: Why do you open your inventory while falling?
A: Increases falling speed + Removes hardfalls.
Q: Weren't inventory drops removed??
A: Not entirely, they're just way more precise. You can only do them as you fall off a ledge. That's why you'll see me use other ways to drop faster, like cyclone drops and dives.
Q: Why is the game in Chinese?
A: Faster text scroll + Less letters in general, saves a good amount of time.
Q: Why are there 2 timers?
A: The upper one is for time without game loading times (loadless), lower one is real time (RTA).
Q: Isn't the Pantheon of Hallownest optional?
A: The category is 112% All Bosses*, which makes it required.
*It's impossible to actually do all bosses with the same save file without returning to it after credits, so we do kinda skip original Hollow Knight and Radiance.
Q: What charms is he using??
A: Colosseum: 2:16:40
Pantheons: 2:58:30

Speedrun mm good
1:30:59 hi mender bug
Why is almost eVERY one of these speed runs done with the Japanese versions??? I know full well the people doing them AREN'T Japanese. So I ask again. WHY THE JAPANESE VERSION? I actually want to read what the characters say; and understand what skills or items are being acquired.
@iatychi Ah thanks! I appreciate the explanation. :-)
i can explain! speedruns are done in chinese (this isnt japanese btw), due to there being less symbols for letters and words, and therefore the dialogue is quicker to get through. speedrunners find every little way to make the runs faster, and this is one of them. if you want to read what the characters say, i recommend looking for a playthrough in english. :)
Now I understand why Trump didnt like China
I spent 78 hours for 106%
1:31:01 menderbug!
2:33 poor elderbug, the heartbreaking noise he makes
what's the "ooh?" sound that plays randomly throughout the video? there's one at 12:35
I'm pretty sure it's just something from the game but I might be wrong
13
1:35:37
I woke up after going to bed and this was on don’t know what it is but keep up the good work dude
Holy Smokes, someone actually did a run on the updated version. You get my props for being the only HK runner I've seen adapt.
damn this guy took 15 minutes to get mantis claw it took me 10hours
So sad, soooooooo sad. This isn't in at least 1080p and no 60FPS... Why? EVEN if the game is at that resolution (for some reason...........) capture itself mean less visual loss the more bitrate you force... And resolution helps to have less losses after encoding and posting. It sucks because this game is gorgeous and speedruns of it are awesome. It should be obvious why a better quality is always better... Even the splits are just barely readable, too blurry, the whole video is blurry. And it makes me sad.
よく追悼者やりながらそこいくな…
Eres un Dios o que pedo? Jajaja hermoso speed run, tengo 50 hrs jugandolo y llevo el 84% jajaja
Verdad xd
Hola bro
I feel so stupid after watching this because it took me 3 hours to find out what I was supposed to be doing on forgotten crossroads and 2 more hours to beat hornet
It took me 40hours to finish this game and he finished it in 4 hours :)
7:06 what on earth..... ?
MonsStahLer: 112% in less than 4 hours. Me: Still hasn't even opened godhome. My Steam Account: You've been playing for more than 50 hours! Would you like to leave a review?
Fucking monster skips elderbug, smh there's no good people left in the world
Not even a quick hello
My first 112% completion run only took me 105 hours
Nobody is going to talk about that galien fight?
2:07:37 ITS ME
3:08:12 Adorable
Asian parents: Now do it hitless.
Whelp ....I tried to follow it , however when you super dashed in the dark room , I put my controller down and alt-f4 ed . :-))
I fucking hate auto play
Wait, how did he force the extra notches at 7:00?
@YaoiIsMySin Thank you for the explanation!!
It's a game mechanic called Overcharmed. It takes a couple of attempts (I wanna say five but might be wrong) to make it happen when you first try to do it but it will allow equipping a charm you don't have notches for. Doubles all the damage you take while in the state though. Also can't be done if you are using the max amount of charms your notches allow or if you are already in Overcharmed state.
Would love to see 112 in a gdq
I’m trying to beat the game without ever entering the False Knight Boss room so it feels nice watching someone beat the game “Normally”
Se que pocos entenderán (porque escribí en español) pero me duele ver este vídeo, veo muchos atajos ya algunas zonas ocultas que no encontré cuando juge al juego xd
A todos nos pasa la primera vez, yo tarde 60 horas en desbloquear el 106%
???????????????????????
Currently 87 hours in and only at 104% good shit man lol
At 2:56:25 how you do it. Please answer please
Didn't speak to elderbug, delete the video
Is it possible to get into The City of Tears without the city crest?
2:45:49 OMFG!
Zote is not needed for 112%, why let him live?
no way Menderbug has apeared, that is 2 percent man hahaha
54:56 WTF?
大陸同胞xD
1:31:01 he met the rare menderbug dude wtf
31:33 ??????????????
I just copied exactly what he did. Got 104% lol
3:11:49 I can imagine a small child just making howling noises into a microphone
Imagine if a level 9 bot did this
elderbug is sad, invalid!
27:54 :(
31:32 For anyone from the 3hr speed run Achievement Guide without the Lumafly on leg 5.
isma's Tears : Nahhh grub first
Good, now do it with your eyes closed.
Did I see you force a charm into those slots??
@Eric Malette The negative is that you take double damage.
@MonStahLer What's the negative side to it? And what are the limits? How many slots can you exceed the maximum?
Yes, it's an intended mechanic called overcharming
...妈妈快出来看神仙
2:56:30

1:31:01 who is this?
Sharp shadow just use it!
Everyone: my first spell was vengeful spirit Me: My first spell was crystal heart
The way you handled the Lemer quest is just god damn reckless yet you still did it in (many) fewer tries than me.
Does this have the path of pain?
2:02:29
7:01 all:ok me: WTF
that is a basic thing
Thanks a lot, i followed the guide step by step, in some ways the ability of jumps is very hard and i needed to find new ways to back road. The guide help me very much, thanks

Do you feel OK, damn bro
Meganath 731 x to doubt it probably took this dude weeks to months to master this speed run, this took me maybe a week
Omg you putted more efforts in that than him to do the speedrun, gg respect
32:41
me after 3 hours 30 minutes: Yeee i beat hornet! Woah i can dash now!
Same lol
You guys beat a boss?
me after 115 hrs:yeah I defeated nightmare king Grimm
GEESE FIGHTING HORNET A SECOND TIME IS WAY HARDER
To me took 5 hours ;)
I love how he up attacks on the ground, looks so funny
The best speedrun Hollow knight ever. I like it)))
It's done well. blog.naver.com/7heppy7
Verry nice :)
this dude is like: lantern my ass
1:24:04 yea what hit you?
One of those flying parasites, glitched in the wall for some reason.
What charms is he using when he entered the pantheons?
machine gun knight 3:30:30, poor Hornet, just wanted to protect her beloved kingdom
muy ramdon que cojones ajajaj
Pro speed runner: dam if I did this complicated move I could have scraped off 0.00000000000000000000000000000302 seconds on my speed run Me: does it mater Speed runner: you doubts my potential
Your username makes sense after reading thing
23:02 tfw u dont know chinese so u just guess
It's simple. The yes will always be placed at the left and no at the right, otherwise, he also showed that two times which means he accidentally chose no I guess.
3:29:59 OSU TIIIIIMEEEEEEEEE
Yess
guys... i'm a bit terrified by this..
this is a beefy damn game just started too play it
having watched for three times on bilibili,now let me watch for three times again,great
respect and greet from a Chinese player,like this game so much
I just realized thw crystal guardian has godzilla 2014/2019 roar
It takes me an hour when trying to speedrun to get the achievements just to get to CoT. *what even*
you beat traitor lord so fast he didn't believe he was dead yet
3:52:08 look at how they massacred my boy
1:38:52 nice timing
14:20 oooo?
I had no idea how powerful the spells were against enemies...
1:31:01 who’s that?
