Clumsy fight, but after going throught the path of pain, I can understand that. Honestly, if there was a bench before the Pure Vessel, this would have been really cool in the actual game, way better than just randomly fighting it in the fourth pantheon.
I'm not the best at fights in the first place. Moreover, recording causes noticeable input lag for me, which is also why I miss a few inputs here and there in the platforming sections. Still fun though!
@@legrandliseurtri7495 ya see the real hollow knight is in the black egg temple and the godtuners tune him to his prime form. You do not meet him randomly and the lore would be kinda wanky. But it ur idea would have been really cool 😎
@@HerOwnKnife but the white palace is a “real” place, it’s just hid from everyone but you can actually see the real servants and the real pale king so you would meet the real pure vessel and it wouldn’t make much sense, not that it does right now
@@uniboyo3320 It's not really "A dream" It's in the Dream World Place, but it's a physical location, where the Pale King lived and died. Hollow Knight lore is weird, I reccomend watching Mossbag's lore video to understand, but essentially, this thing wouldn't make sense here due to... well, not existing. Pure Vessel, in the Godhome, is the Peak Form of the Hollow Knight. But that time has passed, and now the Hollow Knight is in the black egg. It couldn't possible be in the white palace at the same time.
A little while ago I was playing path of pain and didn’t think I got very far before I had to leave because of family, but watching this I just realised I was in the last bit. God damn it. Update: I did it boys
It's correct not to put an extremely difficult boss at the end of the most difficult platforming section. Imagine finally being able to get through this only to die to the vessel and have to restart.
@@brunopagnoncelli975 I heard saving zote is optional and he won’t appear in p5 if you don’t save him, so I left him to die but I’m kind of regretting it now since I feel like he won’t be as difficult as I had initially thought
This already was hard as fuck, now imagine encounter that... one of the most difficult bosses in game, and for me harder than radiance. He should be a secret boss in this section but with a bench just up there for a fair battle, lastly you can refight this boss in the godmaster tower again.
Yeah. Pure vessel is pretty tough. Once I figured out how to dodge the sword slam he wasn't too bad. Radiant Markoth though....uuuuuuughh...there's a mini boss I never want to see repeated in Silksong...
I didn't even know it was the path of pain until i got through it, i heard about it being really tough before i did it but turns out i already did it lol
yeah, wingmoulds are practically invincible in vanilla. i have a video where i kill a few with mods (over 999 damage), they actually give geo and spawn crawlid corpses
I just said "Oooh..! This looks WAAAY easier than the original path..!" Then it came to the freaking flying king bugs- then I was like "Oh... Nevermind-"
The reason there should be two Pure Vessels is because the regular Path of Pain has two Kingsmoulds, so both of them should be replaced with Pure Vessels instead of just one
God watching path of pain just reminds me of when I made the mistake of attempting it in a steel soul run. Lost to the guards right at the end, and was sad.

It's cool, but it also unfortunately makes no sense lore wise, because the vessel is corrupted, but imagine if there was a back up vessel, it's purpose being to destroy and replace the first pure vessel. Instead now, it's locked in the dreams, we could save it, too, so it can finally fulfill it's purpose, but instead we defeat it, for it is also impure. The time it spent locked it the dreams gave it time to think, to realize how it was so poorly treated, and the pain in the process of it's upbringing. so we must defeat it only then do we see the King cherishing, and caring for the back up, and the Pure vessel.
Path of pains not that bad, the last rooms the only one that's a bit tricky. I had more trouble with pure vessel initially on my first playthrough, although the fight isn't terrible once you've figured out a strat
@@erickuo2786 yeah I've completed all the dlcs. I would say pure vessels the second hardest fight in the pantheon of hallownest (number one is obvious). Zote's pretty bad as well
Although I’m mildly impressed, I saw multiple flaws and mistakes you made during this entire run that could have been entirely avoided if you hadn’t defaulted to using monarch wings, as quite a lot of the moving “traps” area perfectly timed to shade cloak, so if you default to using cloak first then wings it would go much more smoothly, I also saw this with your fight against pure vessel, your dodging was a little clumsy, shade cloak is a tool much better suited to dodging than wings as wings were designed primarily for use in platforming and navigation, not as a tool in a fight and I very rarely use them in a fight.
i admire the attention you paid to the video, though op did say they have input something something problems (not that good with remembering) so in my opinion, i think their run was quite epic!

This makes so much more sense lore-wise. Gameplay-wise, this would have been hell
It wouldn't have though, how would the vessel be here and in the Black egg? Yes it is a dream, but it doesn't make much sense for many reasons
@@XAEzl The same reason why it can be in both the Black Egg and Godhome

Pure vessel isn't that hard when you adapt to the moves, it took me more time to get used to grey prince zote. He's just too unpredictable
Me too, like how tf you beat the radiance but can't beat a fat guy.
@@brunopagnoncelli975 he's just too random. I died more times to Zote in the 5th pantheon then to the radiance.

@@angjer8382 you legit have a splash text telling you that you're in a place called path of pain
At 3:57 you can skip the first platform by going on the wall to the left and doing a high Charge Dash :)
Fun fact: wingmoulds have 999 hp and their hp reset every time theyre fixed, meaning you can get infinite soul from them
that's actually how i got through white palace
they actually have hp???
technically yes, but within reason theyre unkillable. their function in game is basically to be immortal

This was so painful to watch, you did such a good job I’m just saying doing this must’ve been so stressful
the music should not have reset once the pure vessel did its...
"shout"
put an image of pv screaming ree in my mind, thanks
This is some crazy platforming. Who ever designed it is a psycho
Am I the only one who never knew Path of Pain existed until recently? Talk about hidden...
Now do this with two Pure Vessels
With two paths of pain. Layered. With buzzsaws not synchronized.
The reason there should be two Pure Vessels is because the regular Path of Pain has two Kingsmoulds, so both of them should be replaced with Pure Vessels instead of just one
Or maybe they should be Tainted Vessels?

almost thought they was gona do something like this in the actual path of pain so I kept on unbreakable strength the entire time
Sorry I'm new to this game... Is this moded or original.. Cause by seeing it makes me wanna throw my switch 😂
I genuinely consider PV easier than the 2 kinsmoulds
God watching path of pain just reminds me of when I made the mistake of attempting it in a steel soul run. Lost to the guards right at the end, and was sad.
POV you are the pure vessel stuck in path of pain
This is actually a really fitting 0la e ti fight PV.
Good god what happened here
I liked the cape too
white palace... the hell made of saws
havent got here in game yet but already know I'm gonna die........ a lot
I bought a new controller and busted the joystick for finishing the path of pain but it's very satisfying reaching the end
It works strangely well

brrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrr - buzzsaw 2020
i think the 2 pale guards are way harder than pure vessel xd
Just watching this was painful
Wait if path of pain is a punishment the the hollow knight needs to do path of pain every time they anger the pale king
I don't think it's a punishment, more like a training ground.
@@shardes maybe I just thought it was a punishment cuz it said something about "one must endure the hardest punishment" or something like that
Keeping asking to myself: how did I do that a few years ago? But I think it's better than pantheon.
hmm. Path of absolute pain next?

No it’s the path of hell
Is there a mod for practicing pop available to the public?
Why not practicing it in the real Path of Pain?

que carajo? debo hacer eso para pasarel juego?
does it add anything to the end of the game to take that secret path and beat a pure vessel?
nope, it’s a mod
the path of pain is part of the base game, but the pure vessel being at the end. Usually, its just 2 kingsmoulds
*6 hours*
Is this a required part to progress through the game, or is this part optional?
don’t worry it’s an optional area in the white palace behind a breakable wall
Plus there's different enemies at the end in vanilla, so no bossfight
Oh thank goodness haha! I'm at the City of Tears now so not far into the game yet I don't think. The path of pain just looks impossible to me.
@@probsnooneyouknowtbh3712 you still have to do a hard platforming challenge for true ending tho
If you do the path of pain you'll 200% be a different person by the end of it. But you should definitely do it.
