@@Bob13454 fair point, I guess I didn't consider necessary damage as part of what I said. If we take out damageboosting or damagestalling in some parts, it will be considerably challenging to avoid all other damage, still.

I really like the direction these hollow knight mods are going! I mean, area and obstacle customization? Next thing you know, people could remake the Forest of Bones! I love it!
Remaking the forest of bones would be so nice man, i think it was a wonderful idea but sadly they didn't make it into the game, i would definitely play that mod.
I downloaded this and gave it a shot, and WOW what a challenge! I had an absolute blast. Applause to you for designing it, because it must have taken forever! My final time was something like 3 and a half hours and I enjoyed it the whole way through
how has nobody commented on how alike celeste this is, mainly the way the mushrooms are used but also just the general movement and paths taken around obstacles to get to the end. not surprised fireb0rn can do this as not only did he hold nmg wr for years but also did a decent speedrun of farewell
Funny how they called this a "Birthplace" , now i understand why the foundation of the Abyss is made with nothing but Vessels corpses that were prob alive for 2 secs
I swear if I ever have to meet someone with this absurd level of commitment and raw godly skill I don’t know if my mind can take the presence of such sheer power
Ccmaci made a video about the "birthplace challenge" or however. You need to escape the abyss like the knight first did (without cloak, wings, etc.). Do that
If the actual hollow knight was like this then my only final boss would be the hollow knight. I was dying so hard on the path of pain then you bring this, anyway, nice job on not exploding!
That's amazing. Crazy good design to get all of that stuff in there. Once you got it built, how long did it take you to get the footage for the play-through? And out of the 12-13 hours you spent making this, how many were "learning curve" hours and how many were actual design hours?
So now we know we fire hasn’t yet retaken the wr in any % NMG from Pest, this surely took a lot of, effort, time and practice :-D (building AND playing) Great job fire!
I've seen so much from the hollow knight community, I'm not surprised anymore. You could show me a hollow knight player personally testing out all the Roman torture devices on himself, and I wouldn't be surprised
I found the Path of Pain to be a challenge, but nowhere near as difficult as many people say. That said, there is no way in hell i could ever do any of this. Awesome work.
When the infection spread he needed to make a mindless being and to do that he must make them go through torment like no other. After countless deaths one finally made it through, the hollow knight was born
The fact that this literally canonical nightmare was something that someone not only decided to make, but was something they must’ve had to have been playtested so many times that the attempts could fit into the rise and fall of Hallownest really shows that deep down in this community, we’re all Nailsmiths longing for the painful bliss that is this game’s toiled craftsmanship.
