    This has probably been mentioned, but for the Delicate Flower quest, you can first drop a Dreamgate near the Grey Mourner, clear your path from enemies (smaller ones will respawn but larger ones will not) all the way (and practice the tricky platforming part near the end), Dreamgate teleport all the way back to the Grey Mourner, pick the Delicate Flower then redo the whole trip with hardly any enemies 🙂

    Seeing how much u improved from the beginning of the video against my boy false to rising up to the challenge of pure vessel is kinda crazy in a matter of a week or 2. Very impressive performance, took me almost a month to finally clear p5 and finalize that play trophy (at heart, I played on switch). Great stuff and I do hope you come back to this in the future and attempt to beat abs rad legit (because the satisfaction u get is insane). Also for an added challenge if u end up rly enjoying the game is attempting to be some or all bosses on radiant difficulty which is where they can 1 hit u. Again great vid and I hope this isn’t the end of ur HK content

  • @marioluigibros.8176
    @marioluigibros.8176 2 года назад +231

    I feel like you were making the first playthrough harder than it could be. HK is a Metroidvania, not a "find a boss and try over and over again until you beat it" game. There were many times when simply leaving a boss and going to upgrade your nail/get more charms etc would have made it so much easier. The best example is that IMO you went too deepnest way too early for a first-time player. Obviously, this isn't true for the pantheons, those are just hard.
    EDIT: In general I feel like going for trophies made the game a worse experience for you. Most of the time you were doing things for a certain trophy, so you never really got to get lost and get invested in the plot. Still an amazing video though

    @hayleynoellebroders8247 2 года назад +16

    I have this little theory about the process of platting Hollow Knight...
    So I read somewhere that Team Cherry left the exploit in because they knew some people couldn't be miffed to earn hallownest legit, but that it was only that; an option left available by choice for those who want to use it by choice.
    Personally though, i think they left it in because they understood how much of a mammoth undertaking total completion is; beating pantheon 4 after weeks of practice against pure vessel in the hall of gods is still my proudest single achievement, doing it legit felt like going above and beyond. After reaching 112% completion I felt like I had truly succeeded, and that there was nothing EMERGENT left in the game to prove the absurdity of possessing platinum. I like to think this was the thought process Ari and Chris had too, knowing the effort people had put in up to that point, and offering an olive branch in return. Pantheon 5 is a true madman's game, and I tip my metaphorical hat to those who succeeded without the exploit. However, I also tip it to those who didn't, for giving this little studio the love it deserves. Here's hoping silksong is on par with this level of challenge!

    • @nick_ar

      @sarads7877 2 года назад +4

      Well a lot of people used the glitch every single instance possible during the game, not just for pantheon 5...
      If that was their thought process, team cherry didn’t realise how many people only care about plats and couldn’t care less about the game itself..
      Personally, i think the glitch should have been removed (given that team cherry actually could), having every single trophy apart from P5 still shows how much a person loved the game, and at least people that actually put in the work would have something proving it

Getting the plat with invincibility cheat cheapens the platinum. Seeing your platinum list now raises eye brows and should have asterisks on it.

    I’ve been grinding out the last pantheon. For practice, I’ve completed all of them on one-shot (radiant) mode in the hall of gods. Even after 250+ hours, that last pantheon is a pain. Spending so much time on this game without platinum is probably the biggest L I’ve taken on any game.

    Throughout the video, I could see a lot of similarities with my experience. 60-70h without the pantheons and mainly relaying on the needle as the sole weapon. Oh boy, the spells in the game are absolute beasts, Descending Dark with the damage and invincibility frames, the power of Abyss Shriek/Shade Soul that can wreck some bosses in seconds. I had to RELEARN how to play the game with spells to be able to beat the Pantheon of Hallownest and get the plat after 112h. You shouldn't feel pressured to get content out, put it on the side and come back later. You said it yourself "I do feel bad for doing this", have more resilience you could've done it! This platinum sure feels Hollow for you now. Why not a 2 part video with a cliffhanger at the end of the first one.

    I'm sorry but if you cannot beat the last pantheon, then you don't really deserve the platinum. It hurts seeing this after achieving the Platinum legit myself. Suddenly for everyone who did this without cheating, the Achievement lost most of it's value. I don't understand why you couldn't just admit your defeat. What point do Platinums have for Trophyhunters if they are no Challenge? It is a pity, because up till the end I really liked the video.

      Michael did I not admit defeat? Look back in the video, I said I wasn’t capable of doing it legit at the moment. As a creator I can’t afford to dump all those hours into the game, I wouldn’t be able to post any videos. I admitted defeat by saying I couldn’t do it, I’m not out here claiming I was able to do it legit. I do regret doing the glitch in hindsight and it does diminish this accomplishment but I still played the other pantheons and the rest of the game legit.

If you can't, thats 100% acceptable, but in the spirit of the Statistics that are put out for the competion rates, and the respect for the people who HAVE earned them, i just can't support the use of a cheat to get them.

    if you want to beat pantheon 5 legit, and use shaman stone and downgrade your nail it is possible to beat it easily that way, also if you do the bindings it will give you blue masks at every bench around 5 max. what happens when u downgrade your nail (use binding for nail) you reduce the bosses HP, hence it is much easier with spells to kill bosses. i did it that way, speaking from experience i finished it on PC first and i have over 300 hours on PC while when i did it on PS4 it took me exactly around 13 to 14 hours including the pantheons, its easy when you get used to bosses patterns.
    My charm build was, grub song, soul catcher, shaman stone, quick focus, spell twister. this way you can cheese the pantheon easy. if you feel confident, maybe change some charms like spell twister+ grub song to flukenest charm because i deals insane damage.

    Amazing game.
    Edit: By the way, I get it, on my fist playthrough I did the glitch for the last pantheon as weel. It was painfull but I just couldn´t and wanted to get over it. On my third playthrough a year later I actually attempted again, and after like 2 weeks I finally did it. Incredible, such joy, but is something that as much as I like the game, I don't want to ever try again hahaha. Really hope there isn´t a similar trophy in Silksong.
    Is weird, because its a unique experience, and I imagine they will add something similar to silksong, I just hope that it isn´t a trophy, which seems unlikely. And most likely we won´t have a glitch either. Which I kind of like, because allthough is a single player game and one can choose not to use the glitch in Hollow Knight, when you just can´t do it, the trophy just fills better.
