[@comictitan4509]

I think it's so fitting that Dream No More is the very end of this speedrun. I know it's for practical reasons, but I love that after doing literally everything in the game as fast as you can, it ends with the ending where the Knight gets to rest forever.

[@Netsuki]

The what? What do You mean rest forever? He just return to the Abyss.

[@SemiHypercube]

I like how he literally got every achievement in the game within the time limit for Speedrun 1, guess that shows just how optimized this game is

That's not necessery. He just needs to complete the game before 5 hours, and then later he can play as much as he needs

[@katiekatecat]

@ they know, they’re just saying it’s crazy that he got every achievement in the 10 hours they allow for the speedrun 1 achievement

[@Mirror_Lotus]

​@@katiekatecat It is quite an impressive feat of the collective Hollow Knight community! I wonder of Team Cherry ever thought that something like this was possible 🤔

[@V8chump]

@Schrunkley evil version same, most of the time in my run was going around collecting stray items to get the last 10% completion. With the split notes it’d be so painless

[@frameturtle]

@Schrunkley evil version you beat the game in under 5 hours blind? damn, it took me like 28 hours I had no idea what I was doing lol, even tho I didn't die to bosses much.

Imagine you‘re a nailsmith. You live your entire life, to smith the ulitmate weapon. You do just that, realise your life has lost it‘s meaning. Your one last wish is to be struck down by your own life‘s accomplishment. And then some dude just fireballs you xD

[@esterterrestrial]

Came here searching for this comment!

[@Siegeholm]

I fell in love with hollow knight recently, and marathoned to my first 100% playthrough. I found your channel recently and I have been binging so many of your videos, and I just want to say thank you for all of the stuff that you put out related to the game. Because of you, I've been enjoying every little discovery I'm making in the game much more. I'm so happy to see that you uploaded and I'm excited to give this a watch 😊. Thanks for making my week!

[@NovaJR9]

Sorry bro 100% isn’t a complete game, thanks to free updates adding more content you need 112% for a complete game file

[@pessoaaleatoria7302]

You should eventually play randomizers to actually get to know each corner of the game, stuff like relics, lore tablets and life blood doesn't count towards the 112%, so by playing randoms you might have to go where one of those items were originally to get a key item. In fact, I discovered some stuff just because of that, and others were watching fire's videos. And plus, randoms are a new challenge to the game, so it is fun as well

[@schenketube]

Hope you played it without any video watched before If not you missed a lot more amazement

[@schenketube]

@NovaJR9 don’t Spoiler that poor guy

[@Siegeholm]

I love watching play throughs of this game, while knowing far too well that I can barely beat brooding mawlek without dying thrice.

[@catalinaledermann]

lmao same 😭😭😭😭 I HATE MAWLEK. how is it that soul master feels easier than mawlek omg

[@FrogKanna]

@@catalinaledermann I struggle more with Mawlek then I do with soul master, probably because his moves are easier to avoid, meanwhile mawlek just slaps you in the face before spitting on you, and then crushing you.

[@frogsman383]

Its insane to me that this is 3 hours behind world record

[@draconiasaur1602]

This is the real path of pain. Even though this can't be verified, it was really enjoyable to watch! I couldn't begin to imagine going through and trying to remember to do everything, let alone finding the route for it in the first place. And for an 11 hour speedrun at that. This community is amazing

[@FoxySpartan117]

Had a slight mental breakdown today. Did a bunch of workouts and now I'm here. Thank you fire.

[@fireb0rn]

I wanted to say because I already said it in Blues comments but I want to thank you, Skurry, Blue and MonStahler for getting me back into HK. I hadn't yet had the speedrun achievements and watching you guys + skurry speedrun helped me learn skips and get them. next up is everything else, but before that I wanted to say thank you all for being so entertaining and informative at the same time.

[@StoutShako]

Same hat!

[@rigleysmith4704]

Fun useless Crystal Dash glitch: If you press up to get on a bench mid-CD you will not get on but can if you press it in the same room after, teleporting to the bench. (This was done on the better switch. Also in CoF when doing the glitch you go under the bench slightly)

[@DwarfWoot]

"No Journal... in Bold..." at 05:36 is a reference to Colette's run: clips.twitch.tv/QuaintPoisedRutabagaCoolCat-xU9aLzASLgAXQ2fm (Credit to Oat for mentioning it and sharing the clip)

That is a quality clip

[@eldinpower3362]

Y'know, I really appreciate hearing so many different soundtracks from games that I love. Excellent choices for montage music!

[@ixeliema]

Not that far into the vid yet, but you mentioned having Maine Coons so I had to say something. I have two cats myself: a 22-pound, gray and white special needs Maine Coon. I've had her for nearly 11 years, and she actually chose me herself at a shelter in 2012. She's a registered ESA and is very loving and communicative. My other cat is some scrunkly little Bombay (?) creature my friends found on the side of the road almost two years ago. She's barely 8 pounds, is always yelling, will attack anything that moves, and she has absolutely zero brain cells. The contrast is...staggering. Edit: typo

[@dannystoll84]

29:45 well, it's sitting at closer to 300k now, so maybe the time has come? jk this seems like an actual nightmare to run seriously

[@elliel.5915]

Probably skurry, I think the run has been routed more efficiently since they did it lol

[@quietlychaotically]

skurry enjoys saving grubs, fire doesn't: therefore, fire suffers more

[@painpulverizer]

This man got every achievement in 9 hours. I can’t even do it after 80…

[@henningsvenssonmide7882]

same

[@bridgeseller7004]

I doubt fire spent only 80 hours on this game. It's not about time of the specific run, it's about time spent mastering the game.

[@undeathghost5627]

Thats just a lot of people, honestly. So no worries. This doesn't count consoles obviously but on steam only 3.8% of the community even has beaten PoH. I am included in this #. Its the only achievement I dont have in the game... Tried a lot though.

[@painpulverizer]

@@undeathghost5627 yeah lol, i just need pantheon 5, which i was too scared to do

[@NOMATfull]

Now I don't feel ashamed for saving and quitting

[@sylvanhrowberry]

help lol this guy can beat PoP with fifty aspids and i cant even beat the game

[@ryroller9394]

If by beat the game you mean get any ending, then I would recommend getting more optional things until you are very powerful, and then attempting the final boss. By the way, you will die, but that's fine, everyone does at first. If you mean you can't fully beat everything the game has to offer, most people can't without a lot of time and effort, so just keep trying. You can do it!

[@sylvanhrowberry]

@@ryroller9394 thanks! i'll pull the game out again and keep trying.

[@ryroller9394]

No problem! Honestly, setting it down then picking it back up after a while might help. I mean, that's how I beat Abs Rad for the first time.

[@sick_0nick402]

i saw this in my video feed and my initial reaction was FIRE NO great vid very epic run, love seeing people suffer for content

[@tooth2887]

the thing on cats made me laugh a little since I have 3 and somehow none of them don't beg for affection while also not hating you if you give it to them. except one of them who is hella shy though and just runs into the darkest corner of the abyss when you go near her, except me cause I'm special (bribed her with food for about 3 months straight until she liked me) the other 2 are just kinda normal. one almost had a heart attack recently and has been on medication that for some reason makes him REALLY affectionate and dumb (slightly pet him and he fell into his waterbowl because he was leaning into my hand, learned not to do that lol). normally he is just real chill but hates new people. and the last one is just REALLY friendly and also semi fat. he eats the most and tries to steal his sibling's food all the time lol. friendly and flops everywhere, me and my fam love them all

[@beanburrito4405]

Fire saved the Nailsmith and this evidence cannot be erased

[@TheAdvertisement]

I have always thought that intentionally patching some speedrun strat is one of the pettiest and wrongest shit a dev can do. Speedrunning is still really niche, even with the growth it has had, some people watch it, but not many actually try. So if you are going to patch things to annoy 1000 people out of the potentially dozen of thousands who played your game. Yeah, that seems kind of shitty to me. And don't come to me with the "it does not align with their vision of the game" bullshit, again, it is less than 1000 people speedrunning any game at any given moment.
