EDIT: Turns out the bugs in QG can’t hit you in 1.2.2.1 so instead you have to buy longnail to perform that skip.
EDIT 2: You can escape the second softlock: ruclips.net/video/tcMyovdTj-c/видео.html
Pin this maybe?
@@truetentic i thought i did pin it oops
question, is one of the musics in the video a remix or realated to ori and the blind forest? near the beggining, 2:53 onward
oh, nevermind, it must be because later you defenitly use another in the hardest softlock segment.
@@sinedddmk8996 i used an extended version of dashing and bashing because it was too short for the amount of clips i had edited for it
Ga zo door. Hoewel het boven mijn pet gaat. Groeten uit the Netherlands.
There is something immensely funny about the knight just reading the map and walking right past Hornet, ignoring her threat.
"Yeah yeah, get in line. Even the bushes want to kill me."
Yes
Btw, you can also do that with nkg. I saw that in a video once
@@dkt1800 is there any practical use to that? NKG is in a dream and in an enclosed room if I remember correctly. Either way that's still cool.
@@joshuam7749 open the map and completely disregard NKG's fire pillar attack, not as cool, but still funny af
Nkg: attempts to kill the knight with a huge pillar of flame
The knight: hmm where am I
Softlock 1
Cons: softlocked
Pros: softlocked with quirrel
The abyss soft lock is pretty fitting, lol
the bad ending
@@FIREOWLHK the knight gets to stay at home
THK had to use cheat to get out of that chamber that fast without wing or claw
Man claw is important. Also I cannot imagine how hard it must have been to find these in a game like Hollow Knight, so great job👍😁
This video shows that most of the game is built around claw
Also, blue lake skip is too cursed
Edit: about that last softlock, didn't you reach that same position in your get to as many areas as possible challenge, and then you reached to fungal, meaning that you could get claw and make your way back to dirtmouth?
i did, but i didn’t have a nail upgrade
Yes, I guess you kill the flukes too quickly so you can't get enough height
@@gamean5873 exactly
I was thinking the game is built around cloak. For every skip, and for every run (even speedrun), it is always picked up because otherwise the game would be literally unplayable. Initial skills open areas, later skills improve movement I'd say.
@@Mariomm_marti you can beat the game without dash
The reason why patch 1221 lags on your pc is probably because earlier hollow knight patches came without a framerate cap. When I tried 1221 on my pc for the first time it went up to 700 fps and gpu started overheating lol. If your gpu doesn't come with a manual framerate cap override you could try using a framerate limiter software such as Rivatuner like many speedrunners do
thanks! ill try this out
i thought it was really interesting to see the development of the softlocks in the discord! Great video!
hidden promotion of the discord server lmao... It makes me wanna join now
@@6Alexis8 you should, you get secret previews on videos 👀
@@6Alexis8 yes
Ok, but the missile green screen joke was actually funny lmao
2:06 Just found a "use" for Heavy Blow :3
Also, Ori music in Hollow Knight!
Me trying to figure out why the hell I'm watching how to softlock my game.
its fun
It was fun being in the discord call while u were doing 8:07. Great vid as always Fire ❤
Great video, one really sees that you spent much time making this. And it's exclusive hollow knight content, no one else did these softlocks as far as I am aware
I thought I recognized Ori music and apparently I was right! Hollow Knight, Ori 1 and Ori 2 are some great games with amazing music! Also, nice timing at 13:22 with the soul sanctum/soul master theme.
Why does having the map allow you to skip the Hornet boss fight? That's so funny but it seems so weird that it's in the game at all.
IIRC it's because Hornet locks your animation state including some menus
love the content! keep up the good work!!
Ayo
Ori music
I like that game
Also holy cow this video is incredible
The amount of dedication and planning you've put into this is so incredible
Amazing work!
The choice of music in this video is amazing!
Your choice of music earns my respect
Obsessed with these videos! Love them sm!
Greenpath is where I fell in love with this game.
Nice music choice, Ori and the Will of the Wisps is one of my favorite games :)
This vid was fantastic XD Never been able to properly do shadeskip to props to u, all the skips looked exhausting!!
some of them took a really long time such as the kingdom’s edge shade skip and the abyss shade skip for the shade cloak softlock
@@FIREOWLHK there was also the long nail baldur (T . T) watched another video and saw how long it actually takes damnn
(nvm only read the pinned comment now) Great video and I can notice that you put a lot of effort into them! There's just a little thing that bothers me in the second softlock: Since you need 1221 to perform the lever skip with dash slash to QG, the skip in the slightly darker room in QG that leads to deepnest won't be possible because the spiny husks' thorns don't have a hitbox in that version. I'm not sure if this is true, but I think it's worth it checking out if it's possible. Great video again!
its true, someone on my discord pointed it out. thankfully by purchasing longnail, the softlock is still possible
@@FIREOWLHK that's great!
Omg the fireball hover trick seems awesome for speed runs
missile green screen never gets old, man. Thanks!
Dashing and Bashing is one of my favourite Ori tracks
I always love the well placed Ori soundtracks
damn nice editing
I bet the Abyss Softlock felt a little too close to home for the poor little Knight.
Yoooo, new upload neat
How interesting Quirrrel shows up with mask of Monomon after dreamers' scence in Greenpath. But most of players seem to ignore it.
This video had a lot of very funny moments in my opinion
My worst nightmare will be getting softlocket in deepnest.
I love plush Knight and his lore
Synonym for the word “kill” is just amazing
I saw the title of the Abyss section and I already realised we doing clawless shade cloak lmao
A tip for future videos, i would recommend going to the options menu to disable in game music if you want to add in your own
thanks for the feedback
@@FIREOWLHK in future videos, you might be able to find a place in your video editing software that allows you to mute sections of the video for where you'd like to place music over. hope this helps!
Duly noted that fireball skips were not intended as a feature but become one because we got lucky and only foud 1 genuine softlock
fireball skips are allowed in nmg tho
Hornet do be actin strange. You think silksong's got her stressed?
I love the fact that he's using Ori music for a hollow knight video
Using the flying shotgun as a skip tool is the best thing ive ever seen
Lmao
Thanks for the qg dash slash skip,im beating the game without certain items and that really helps to skip the stupid darknest room
Softlocking yourself in horror location?
WHAT A MASOCHIST!
Man iirc even CC's route up from abyss using only "base knight" still required claw for "ledge grabs".
yes
Just found your channel. Really nice videos tbh. The only thing I'm missing is that it would be nice to hear you talk instead of having to read text. Would properly make these videos clutch. Good work still :)
10:46 You can perform shade fireball skip. Apparently, you can pogo on that fireball. You can also fireball it back for geo
but you need claw
kinda forgor about that
using dashing and bashing as bg music? subbed
love these video's
This video makes me realise how important mantis claws are
ori music my beloved
im just glad i didn’t get copystriked for using it
15:07 casually puts this in the video like he does it all the time :)
of course that nail boost was definitely first try
The ancient basin one, you can grind geo there, stall ball skip to hidden station and go to Dirtmouth.
we didn't grab fireball
Just wanna say im not sure but for the shade skip to oro im pretty sure you can just pogo a primal aspid to Get up if you use some fireballs, can probably save some time
yeah but it sucks lol
also im not trying to go fast, simply showing some softlocks
Yeah i know your not trying to go fast but then you dont have to die an go all the way back which can be pretty annoying
14:32 now you know how the siblings feel lol
become sibling%
I love how this video is about HK but you use Ori music lol
Local tech museum has a playable hollow knight display, time to do some trolling
yes! that would be hilarious
I wonder if it's possible to stallball out of the deepnest one after you run out of corpse creepers. I'm not super familiar with the geometry there and I don't know if you can get enough height, but that ledge on the left looks like it _may_ have the geometry for a stallball. I'm not sure whether it _would_ be possible if you could just get up that particular ledge either though.
check the pinned comment :)
(1:23) whoa, 2 fireball
(12:57) this shade skip can be skipped and you just need to pogo the enemy to the right; see at about 21 minutes into the csc wr (by staxis). ~~also nice csc run, whats your time~~
tbh i wasn’t timing it but probably a couple hours lol
hey that's me
@@staxis3955 staxis is watching my videos, sick
Hi staxxy
the shade skip skip
Nice to see the g to dab mod.
im pretty sure that you can escape the ancient basin SL by simply doing a pogo shade skip across the spikey area. killing the broken vessel. yoinking double jump and then farming the 2 geo off the shade crawlers till you have enough to go to the hidden station and then get the goofy out of there. though you might need mantis claw to get up to certain areas. im sure you can use some tricky skips. probably possible but maybe impossible
if you have mantis claw it wouldn’t be a softlock anymore?
@@FIREOWLHK no i meant like the areas to get to broken vessel or monarch wings might be unaccsessable without mantis claw. but ther emight be a possibility you could do it with tricky skips. just no shade sko because you need that to get over the spike pit. probablyh impossible without fireball. but maybe, just maybe
God this music is making me want to play ori again
get to areas that expect you to have mantis claw w/o using mantis claw so that you can't leave
You monster... You killed knight plush!
he will be back dont worry!
I do love myself some Softlocking lore
the new mossbag
I once got “softlocked” (I say in quotations because someone with more skill would not be in that situation) in Crystal Peaks, because I went in using D-dive and didn’t have lantern to exit through the gate, but didn’t have the skill to dark room into resting grounds
Why didn’t you just get crystal dash and leave that way?
@@sophier996 i couldent find it and i was working on my skills without a map TwT
I kind of softlocked myself in steel soul. I was trying to do that skip where you pogo, dash, and c-dash to get ismas. I forgot I didn't have c-dash and I didn't want to save quit.
well it's not really a softlock
@@FIREOWLHK That's why I said it was kind of a softlock. I got myself into a place where the only options were erase my save file because I was on one mask or save and quit
Edit: I just realized this may have sounded snarky and that was not the intention
on the revamped ab (i think) u can do a shade "skip" to kill a bug then get geo get your shade and die
do it till u have enough money for buy stag
then shade skip for the stag on the right
but the stag
then go to dirtmouth
and the last one try to use that flying worms
its hard without wings but i pretty sure its possible
you can get up to the stag anyway. even with a shade
Audio was great. Keep using the music
Hey fun fact you don’t have to fight brooding mawlek to get 6 masks in the beginning you can do a skip by getting the vengefly pogo in the goam room and all 5 grubs as well as buying sly’s 2 mask shards for 650 geo and that is six masks though you can do spike pogo skips and get to mawlek
yeah but i prefer fighting mawlek over grinding the extra geo for a mask shard from sly
Ah
Cool video! Small tip though, you still have the game's music turned on, so whenever the game music is actually playing there are 2 different music tracks playing since you put music on top of it, which isn't ideal. But it definitely didn't ruin it and I enjoyed it!
i keep forgetting to turn off in game music. thanks for the feedback
i just love ori
ccmaci actually posted a video on how to escape the abyss without claw or double jump, and if im not mistaken, without the vengeful spirit either. its kinda crazy
you still need claw, watch the video again
@@FIREOWLHK my bad, i forgot he had the rule where you could use claw on edges
I'm wondering if there's a way to softlock yourself out of 112% completion.. maybe getting shade soul before fireball and thus not getting soul catcher
maybe using glitches? i doubt it though
also getting shade soul opens up mound no matter what. its a good question though and ill think about it
This is what waiting for Silksong does to ppl
People have gotten so bored waiting for silksong we have started making soft lock tutorials
It looks like you could shade skip with and use the corpse bugs together to get to tram pass in the second soft lock not 100% on it tho
check the pinned comment
softlock 4 also known as non-knight vessel simulator
the big geo rock room in kingdoms edge maybe?
Ori music. Both hk and ori are beautiful metroidvanias
Dont forget that vanilla softlock if you enter the fluke room (the one you need Dive for) without wings. Found that one myself. You cant escape the room bdfore fluke marm. Maybe with flukes to pogo? But its difficult
there is no bench down there?
@@FIREOWLHK oh, that's right. But let's say you forget something and want to go back, you can't unless you die/quit out. But i guess i mis understood what softlock meant :) /gen /notsarcasm
@@cheez545 yeah softlock means you are 100% stuck with no way to escape
Hey, im not positive about this but you could possibly get out of the greenpath softlock. Instead of going the intended way back up you could go back from where you exit the hornet arena. If the fight still triggers but your locked out of the room, you might be able to kill her from the hitting her when she gets near the wall. Im not at all positive on this so ill probably test it.
also for the softlock in the deepnest hot spring, cant you do a shade skip once making it the spot at 8:02
1. too high up
2. shade spawns off screen
@@FIREOWLHK sadness
Tell me if it works, I’m not enough of a gamer for fireball skips
@@jeanyeap4229 ight got it
greenpath softlock works perfectly fine in not steel soul mode because shade respawns in the hallway leading up to hornet
yeah that’s why steel soul is needed
@@FIREOWLHK i think you misunderstand--the shade spawns out of reach of the knight in that room, regardless of where you die (trust me, I've tried all the acid pools). You cannot get out of the softlock, even in normal mode.
@@ammyvl1 oh i see, good to know
You could make a video about the resting grounds stag. I found it strange that it was the only one to be opened by leaver, but it is actually a design choice to avoid a softlock
If you had to spend even 1 geo to buy it, you could end up in a softlock without any skips
Well, it was gated by iirc 30 geo in the past, but it was patched out to prevent softlocks.
interesting, i hadn’t thought about that
@@bridgeseller7004 ohh, I had no idea
a friend of mine actually got there with 0 geo so if that wasn’t a thing he would be softlocked
Man, i thought i was tripping after hearing ori music but realized that it was from the video and made me look like an idiot
Based ori music
Im too scared to try it, but what happens if you exhaust all the use all of the soul in the room after you kill soul master and need to use desolate dive to get out. Is there more soul available? Or will you just be softlocked?
there’s actually multiple options
1. quit out to reset soul totem
2. exit and reenter that chamber to respawn the folly (theres one that spawns right under the geo chest)
For the abyss softlock, when climbing out of the abyss, could you not lore 1 or 2 siblings up there? Maybe it wouldn't be enough to get all the way up anyway but I'm just curious.
not enough to get all the way up
@@FIREOWLHK you can actually just a flipping Knightmare probably
@@FIREOWLHK I think there's a video that manages to get out of the abyss using only dash, siblings and pogo?
@@IGacitua link?
@@FIREOWLHK ruclips.net/video/HWmFa5KwYkk/видео.html
*false knight scream*
"Buh-"
0:03 Rude of you to call Quirrel an elephant
hahaha this is a good comment
RUclips recommending me this again out of nowhere and the abyss one looks just about escapable to me. Luring a sibling lets you get back to the door but the final spot to get out is looking tricky. Has anyone disproven this yet?
so far a few people have come up with something that's theoretically possible, but no one has done it yet
Some of those skips look hard as hell.
some of the harder ones took up to 2 hours to do in one go with save states
@@FIREOWLHK Dang, I applaud your dedication!
You can excape the ab softlock, watch cc's vid
abyss or ancient basin?
15:07
Nice.
im glad someone noticed the nail boost
I have watched this 3 times
i appreciate it!
would It be possible to softlock at soul master? you need wings or claw to escape the room he's in and there is a hard save after dive.
you also need wings or claw to reach soul master unfortunately
@@FIREOWLHK oh
all of these can be escaped by just using debug so they aren't softlocks
I accidentally got soft locked in a elevator in soul sanctum cuz i was jumping around then i wallcliped and couldnt get out at all it was terrible cuz i was speedruning glitchless at least i took a cool screen shot and spent 20 minutes showing my friends :D i did this by claw jumping when the elevator move down frame perfect....
Now i wonder how did i do that and why i cant do it again
well you could also quit out to escape
I was speaking about you right now
