@@AngfishYT Well at least it does add some horror aspect to hollow knight, seeing as she ripped out her own eyes so she wouldn't see her kids feasting on her, and while they were eating her alive she was singing a lullaby
Very impressive run! To be a slight downer, I do feel like runs like this are more like "nail-less" runs, as there are deaths still, done by charms, but in general a minion mancer build is always a joy to watch! And using the glitch in crossroads was clever! I have wanted to do a "pacifist" hk challenge, but between watching you and Sample I instead wonder what a "minimum kill" challenge would look like. You'd still be allowed to use spikes, as those really are disconnected to you, but a minimum kill challenge prevents you from using minions at all, on the tradeoff that you CAN use your nail for pogo + movement, like you did in mantis village to get the claw.
Yeah ig that makes sense, but most Pacifist challanges are like that. Threading the fine line of "it wansnt me but my ___ that killed it". Also a minimum kill amount would probaly be around 13, if u dont count urself dying and other things killing enemies (the guys who trap u in deepnest, idk there names). But seems like a kewl idea, I could do it in the future to see.
I recorded a minimum kills run myself using the same glitch he used at the start of the game and you can beat the game only killing the 3 aspids at the start, uumuu, watcher knights and the hollow knight. I didn't do true ending though, you'd have to kill a bunch of dream bosses and traitor Lord to get kingsoul for that. Never actually made the video though lol
Fun fact: There's a brazillian streamer who's beating 112% Hollow Knight only with the dreamshield charm, he's names Dillian Resende ps: He already beat expert Cuphead with the whetstone
hitting shades should not be counted because they don't die, your shade just returns to you and abyss shades just return to the abyss and respawn (also they're already dead)
Love how versatile Hollow Knight is to whatever challenge or playstyle you choose. You did have to use a glitch to get into fungal wastes sadly. There is just no other way to get the vengeful spirit for fireball pogos without hitting False Knight in the face at least once(?) (does hitting his armour even count as violence as no infection spills?)(also does the first False knight fight still get up if you don't do anything while he is down? Then he could continue into his tantrum and crack the gate to skip the fight) Regardless there isn't a way out of the mound once the spell is collected.
He'll get up without throwing the tantrum, and yeah as you mention even if you are playing straight up no kill so skipping him is objectively fine it doesn't help because you can't get vengeful spirit. Minimum kill no glitches it would be helpful for though. I assume you'd need aspids, elder balder (+ possibly a small balder if depending on if they can throw a 2nd one before the first dies I assume they can but technically I'm not sure), Uumuu, watcher knights, dreamers, THK. Arguably you can even get dash and tear if you want because both Hornet and Dung Defender survive the fight, but you don't need either.
Just finding this video and it’s insane how small You are, your content is amazing wouldn’t be surprised if you explode in subs soon, keep up the amazing work!
Him Just casually not using nail against dream bosses like failed champion and lost kin Also he could have hurt wingsmoulds and kingsmoulds and Radience (he said he can in the dream world)
You should've taken out a few Warrior Dreams to get 300 Essence and Dream Wielder; it only costs 1 Notch, it makes the Dream Nail much faster, and it doubles the SOUL you get from hitting enemies with the Dream Nail.
@@tusowl Fair, but the the sooner you get it the better. Could've taken a couple Warrior Dreams out with Dreamshield before Hornet, since they all get more health as you upgrade the Nail (and a couple other bosses do to, but the Warrior Dreams are the only ones that gain health for every upgrade).
@jruler93 if you use the nail (or things that scale with nail damage like dreamshield and sharpshadow) it is still better to upgrade. The health increases slower than damage does. Speedrunners typically don't because they rely almost entirely on spells, which obviously do not scale off nail damage.
@@gytuj6722 Fair, but Shaman Stone + Shade Soul or Abyssal Shriek does hella damage to the Warrior Dreams, Watcher Knights and Dung Defender (all of which are bosses whose health scales with the nail).
Yeah, but it makes it more fun to still challenge myself when I don’t have to since I also could’ve just fought Lost kin, Failed champion, and radiance normally
Despite making a big explosion, the Defender’s Crest version of Glowing Womb does less contact damage, except now it has an AoE and over-time effect that only does the same amount of damage as was lost compared to normal hatchlings. This makes it an objective downgrade for single-target combat, and effectively a downgrade for most other contact, since it just kinda sucks.
Yeah I was only using it because technically it should be better since it does less damage but has more ticks which equals a tad bit more. But yeah, it didn’t work since not all damage always hits, and sometimes it did less Plus it was worse since I had to waste a charm on defenders crest
I understood not getting glowing womb right when you got the weevers, but after you got grubsong, wouldn't it have been better to have that heavy extra dps? It also has a synergy with the defenders crest. I would've gone to get glowing womb because its in deepnest anyway. Especially on the trip to herra.
I was expecting you to "Um actually" some bosses and use your nail- cause like. Hornet and Ogrim dont die when you fight them, Watcher Knights are hollowed out husks, stuff like that
Not really, since his grimmchild vids he used his sword and spells b4 getting it, and dreamsheild ones are only with bosses, not the setup "challange" before them.
This is a similar comment from Sample’s Pacifist challenge: “I didn’t kill him, my gun did.”

Most of them are similar to sample but sill the fact of BEATING the game and repeat all of that is very very cool
L-Shift to jump threw me.
What? Good binds imo, got it from playing to much Sekiro.
I feel like content this good should deserve more recognition
Thanks! Glad u think so 😸
I wish I could open my inventory in the air on the switch version of the game
Its probably not related to being on switch but the version your in. Since on steam you can change it to an older version to do said glitch.
dude u hurt the explosion
other then that, awsome
More like it hurt me lol
You play Hollow Knight with a mouse and keyboard, I love you (platonically (like a friend))
lol thanks, most people say it’s weird to play on kb and mouse but imo it’s easier than controller
😲☝️ erm technically shade Dash and sharp shadow don't count either,crystal guardian wakes up if *YOU* hit him but sharp shadow doesn't wake him
lol I would’ve used them but last time I used something like this in another challenge they witch hunted me

Maybe Glowing Womb would be more useful if they would spawn based on the amount of heals you get?
This way you at least have control over the soul.

Haven’t watched full vid but defenders crest and the hatchlings could be helpful
