A look into the world of Hollow Knight Meme Speedruns

[@finngardiner5358]

Yoo a mention of grass%! How could one not simply love a run involving such things as quantum grass and beating white palace and then quitting out before grabbing kingsoul

[@shyfuzzy3941]

true like the grass which disappears and gets replaced by other grass in the basin after getting wings.

[@shyfuzzy3941]

@The Gamer Spirit yeah Ik. I'm just explaining it

oh look thats me (fun fact: the spore shroom aluba kill in queen's garden for al2ba% only works on current patch; on 1221, it requires either shade soul or dash slash, both of which are (unsurprisingly) slower than spore shroom)

[@blunderbus2695]

I remember having a meme category idea called Cartographer% where you have to get every possible room filled in on the map. Time is on the final 'Map Updated' notification showing up on screen with every room visited once

@@morphalta2074 If I remember correctly, Gaslight Gatekeep Girlboss is about getting all encounters with Hornet as quickly as possible. She is obviously the Girlboss of this game.

Incredible work, as usual ! Can't say how big of a fan i am, love your streams and your work, you have some chill vibes that i truly enjoy, good luck on your 112% APB world record grind, you're gonna get it sometime soon :)

[@TheNervousMedic]

I was waiting the entire video to hear Grass% and was not disappointed.

[@klabelia9454]

Idk if people have done or thought of these before, but here are some run ideas I have: Genocide%: -Get hunter’s mark -Kill cloth -Kill nail master -Let zote die -Get “Witness” achievement -Kill Myla -Do “Sealed Sibling” ending -Kill Mellibelle Rando%: -Any% on item randomizer -The settings for the randomizer can be decided by the community -You will get 10 minutes before the real speedrun to plan your route with the knowledge of where every item is (if it’s possible to do so) Zote%: -Defeat Grey Prince Zote while following all precepts

yknow... this has me thinking. i've just recently gotten into hollow knight and i love it to death and ive become fascinated by the speedrun strategies. i also really love trying to solve weird puzzles that aren't intended meant to be puzzles and figure things out, but obviously the normal runs have been endlessly worked on and analysed for years now... so what if i come up with my own bizarre 'meme category' with 0 other contenders and see if i can puzzle my way into finding the fastest strategies i can, with all my limited knowledge and lackluster gaming ability... that could be _fun_

[@PikaLuigi]

Oh! I was confused why you'd need lantern in "No Spells" for a moment, but without dive, you'd need to open the geo gate instead

[@hhhhzk]

normal any% doesn't require dive in the first place tho

great vid blu! you might want to put the word 'speedrun' in the title tho. i thought the vid would be about types of memes in the hk community lol. also i wanted you to talk about the extended category extensions category more. like what is grass%???? anyways keep up the good work :)

[@dummy_vicc2976]

is there a category for only doing damage via companions such as grimmchild?

[@gektor_flektor]

I don't think you'd be able to get any first source of damage, you'll have to get spell or claw to get the shield or dreamnail for grimm, so no grimm. No womb as well, it requires you to finish the challenge. And the weaversong is in deepnest. I don't think that could be possible, but if it is, that'll be very fun

[@noatrope]

@@gektor_flektor Sample has a "pacifist run" (defined as "if you never gained souls then you never hurt a fly"), where he managed to arrange an impressive number of stalactite accidents but still had to abuse a (very slow) glitch in order to get from Crossroads to the Fungal Wastes. But that opened up the Mantis Claw and from there the Dreamshield, so that seems like the crucial step.

Epic new video :p

[@Netsuki]

Focus is not a spell, because it isn't affected by spell charms. If Focus was a spell, it would be affected by Spell Twister, but it isn't. Simply as that. Just because it uses soul, doesn't make it spell automatically. Spell is a thing that shamans in Hollow Knight used. Focus is innate ability of Knight, so it's not a spell. No matter how we look at it, Focus is not a spell. So if anyone tells you Focus is a spell, just tell them that!
