The funniest thing is, he does the Path of Pain (and almost everything else) totally casually and then becomes visibly nervous and cautious towards the end of Deepnest and throughout Queen's Gardens.

[@felpshehe]

I think it might be because creatures move and you cant memorize their precise locations, only a general area. You can see he gets cautious where he knows there are creatures ahead. You can see that in the beginning in the City of Tears too.

@@shizi9686 yeah. It took me 3 tries as well. first one I failed, because of that damn thorn in the end. The second one I failed just after leaving grey mourner. The best strategy is to sit on a bench under the grave, kill everything on your way to grey mourney and don't sit on any benches. The enemies don't respawn. Sone do, but they are easy af. I recommend Quenn's Garden -> Fog Canyon -> Quenn's Station(don't sit on the bench.) -> Fungal Wastes -> Forgotten Crossroads -> Resting Grounds(Tram) -> Grey Mourner. Then you take the flower and go back without resting. Watch out for aspids in FC, these small baloons in FW and everything in fog canyon, 'cause they respawn. Dunno why I wrote it all.

It can help at moments like those. Totally messed up the jump and had to try and recover.

[@TheFirstAifos]

On a completely unrelated note, once Silksong drops, please don’t put any spoilers in the thumbnails/titles for a while after release. Anyway, great video as always. I laughed pretty hard when you called the tram, then just looked up at it and walked away. I can just imagine the Knight going like “what was I doing, again? Oh yeah, Path of Pain!”.

[@CrankyTemplar]

Thanks! I will do my best to avoid spoiler-y thumbnails and titles come Silksong.

[@TheFirstAifos]

CrankyTemplar Thanks! I can’t wait to see what kind of stuff you’ll be able to pull off with Hornet’s more acrobatic moveset!

[@CrankyTemplar]

I'm looking forward to it. I'm particularly curious to what extent you can stay in the air with Hornet and how that'd work for "floor is lava" type challenges.

[@TheFirstAifos]

CrankyTemplar From what we’ve seen there’s that grappling hook, a sort of dive you can pogo with, and then several of her gadgets keep her suspended in air. If nothing else, it’ll be super flashy! Aah, I can’t wait!

@@CrankyTemplar This is the ultimate version of walking into a room and forgeting what your doing.

[@minguigui9741]

Thank you! I’ve been stuck on this quest for weeks before this video, this really helped me out! Definitely the easiest path to take, no contest.

[@rhumrunners7]

I have been struggling on my pathing for the flower quest and this video helped me a lot, but I found it to be more optimal to also go through kingdoms edge, do the colosseum of fools, fight markoth, then path to royal waterways, do the pantheons with all bindings, and then continue your route starting from path of pain.

[@TomTheBomb5145]

Grey Mourner: can you take this flower to the Queens Gardens? Cranky Templar: hold my Lifeblood

[@TestSubject-vv1kn]

I like how he's more scared of the mobs than the actual path of pain itself

Congratulations, you’re god now

"I know a shortcut" (proceeds to free every grub, complete the hunter's journal, get each charm, win the trial of the fool, speedrun the path of pain, and fully upgrade the nail) Gets to the last room and hits the thorns

[@Aurioksavenger]

Meanwhile most people try to find the safest way to do this quest... You absolute madman. I love you.

[@nightfurywarriorcat8159]

Safest way is to murder everything and than just get flower and walk

Where'd you get this leaked clip of God's hollow knight stream? That's supposed to be published next millennia...

The 5 stages of watching this video: 1 - Wait, where is he- 2 - Wait, what is he- 3 - Wait, WHY IS HE- 4 - WAIT, HOW IS HE- 5 - ...what IS he? And that's how you enter a cult Y'AI'NG'NGAH YOG-SOTHOTH!

Best way to celebrate the announcement of a hollow knight sequel where hornet is the main character.

[@kontrol42]

CrankyTemplar: *sees Silksong trailer* CrankyTemplar: Welp, need to somehow kill time before it comes out, so let's look through comment section for a challenge... CrankyTemplar: *sees someone mentioning going through Deepnest to deliver the flower* CrankyTemplar: Nah, too easy.. but I kinda want to see Pale King and baby Hollow Knight together again, so lemme casually stroll through Path of Pain on my way to Queen's Garden

[@nininhosam]

everytime i try this quest, i take damage from those jellyfishes. but now i know the safest way to deliver the flowers, definitely the best tutorial on this quest.

[@element1192]

There’s me who can’t travel 2 feet without the wayward compass without getting lost and then there’s this man, taking the delicate flower through the path of pain, no sweat

[@chaus0808]

Me: I wanna be your boyfriend. Girl: What can you do for me? Me: I brought you a delicate flower through fucking path of pain. Girl: No.

[@rubickaghanim3758]

Imagine being able to finish PoP only once per saved file, going through deepnest unscathed, only to be screwed by the thorns at the end

[@silkmilk6809]

Sometimes you just gotta take a little detour. Enjoy the scenery and all that.

[@Gatitasecsii]

This is just a testament as how great this game is and how precise the controls are.

[@peach_neko9430]

WHAT A LEGEND! when I saw them doing a detour in the ancient basin, I was all "They're NOT going to do path of pain, are they?" Nope. I was wrong. they totally did. and they nailed it. (literally. downstriking-wise)

[@peach_neko9430]

AND HE WAS OVERCHARMED TOO BOI THAT MEANS HE TAKES DOUBLE DAMAGE IF HE IS HIT
