great video masker! slight issues i noticed: 1) that first dash was super not necessary of course but it is a bit hard to pull it off 2) you can actually go through the shortcut in wastes if you pogo the shroom guy. its not super tricky but it doesnt super help so whatever 3) its possible to shade skip to mantis village from above. i dont know if you can "epogo" (as the Pros call it) without dash but shade should DEF work. 0 dash is 100% possible 4) you can actually attract the shade's attention in the ancient basin's long spikey room with vengeful spirit. it kills the shade if your health is less than 7 or your nail is unupgraded though. after that basin should be smooth sailing and you should get to wings without any more issues 5) that crystal heart room part is again doable without dash. had to test this out myself, you can just stall for time in the air with either of your spells. tldr you need exactly 0 dashes to finish the game. also i kindly ask if you could credit where your music is from in the description. btw that part at hk where you ddarked into the pillar clump to avoid damage was great
thank you so so so much for this comment, I'm now gonna make a yt short (I'll credit you) saying how I was wrong in the video lol I really appreciate this comment, 1) I found this out in a comment I got after I uploaded the video 2) ok i didnt know but doesnt really matter 3) omg I completely forgot i could die in the acid 4) still not too sure how to distract the shade, which I'll probably need for the short 5) still not entirely sure how to do this, but I could probably find out by experimenting edit: ik what 3 is now
@@MaskerHollowKnight ok so like. I've got a bit of explaining to do. I knew you could aggro the shade in basin, however it's significantly harder dashless. I personally came super close but couldnt do it, i do think it can be done with a bit of luck and a ton of skill though. uploaded 3 and 5 to my channel, plus my best attempt at 4 (feel free to use footage ofc)
I’m surprised this channel only has two videos tbh. Pretty nice quality. Also massive kudos for being able to beat the watcher knights without dash. They’re enough of a nightmare even with dash
I love your commentary, gameplay, editing and just really everything you have done in this video (been here since the first video (even tho its your second)) and I support it so much! 1K subs is a really high number for a second video too
@metredi no I haven't heard of it, idk how to install hk mods and I really want to know how if you'd be willing to tell me you could dm me on discord if you want discord: maskerhollowknight
I really like your content and I have a few easy video ideas for you 1: beating hollow knight without crystal dash 2: hollow knight but if I break an object I lose 3 hollow knight true ending (or not) without charms
This so good if I would assume that you have the same sub count of someone like skurry or fireborn keep making banger content my guy all I can say is you have atleast one consistent viewer
1. You could have used stallball at the crossroads to fungal wastes or turnaround fireballs at Queen's Station. 2. You can explosion pogo to Mantis Village. 3. You can fireball skip past that part in crystal peaks you need dash for.
Hollow Knight Low% is a speedrunning category for hollow knight where the runner gets the least amount of % needed to beat the game (This is 11%). The runner does not pick up dash during this run because it gives additional percents. Every time you used dash is avoided in the run with difficult skips. Fungal wastes is entered via Queen's Station using a really tricky triple fireball-skip, a different route into the mantis village is used which involves scaling a wall that leads into a shortcut using a sporg's projectile's explosion, and that crystal peaks jump is also possible with a difficult fireball skip. This route is very hard (I am not a speedrunner and I suck at Hollow Knight, so I haven't tried it), and it may also be very difficult for you, so I just decided that I would let you know that it's possible without dash and without glitches. Here is a video of Low% if you are interested: ruclips.net/video/AkYGmkWKk-U/видео.html Good Video! This is underrated and I hope that the youtube algorithm heavily blesses you! Thanks.
You could have just gotten descending dark (or just normal desolate dive if you didnt get cyristal heart yet)and nail upgrades which would make watcher knights
The low% speedrun is a run that gets the least percent completion as possible to beat the game and does not pick up dash, you can find all the tricks needed to do this in one of those runs.
Yeah, I'm pretty sure you can beat it dashless by using fireball skips, but, neither me nor you are skilled enough to do it soooo... yeah. oh and you are a god at editing, man
@@MaskerHollowKnight yep, but yeah, I just checked and it indeed is possible to do the skips in all three places you've dashed (except for the way to fungal wastes, because it's only possible to do it through the queen's station). the way to the mantis village is probably the hardest
You could also get to the second half of the City of tears through Deepnest, via trampass, but that might not be possible, so I will test it with my own dashless play through. Also, I think you can get c-dash with lumafly lantern, and some pretty precise movement, but I don't really know, so I'll test it with my own. This is going to be either really fun or really painful. I will comment again when I either beat it with 0 dashes or when I have given up.
although difficult, you can do a dash-less shade skip to get into blue lake you can also get into crystal peak if you grind for geo and buy the lantern. although you need claw to get crystal heart, you dont need any movement ability to get to the resting grounds
@@MaskerHollowKnight haha yea, i commented way too soon! it was interesting seeing a new perspective on this challenge. the only item required is claw, with enough fireball skips you can beat the game without dash i believe, tho all the skips are too hard haha cant wait to see what you post in the future! fireball-less is a fascinating challenge that ive tried before
Sure, at the start you climb almost op to the top and do a sideways jump from the wall and then dash in towards the wall and after that you just do the rest as normal.

i know i'm gonna get hate for this, but maybe try not hyping up simple pogos and stuff. in the mantis village, speedrunners and even lots if not most casual players also do the pogo to get up to the ledge above the lever. and thats just an example.
to get into mantis without dash, you couldve done a rlly hard explogo or shade skip, and for fungal wastes theres a triple fireball skip in queens station Edit: you also couldve fireball skipped the crystal platforming section
