Hollow Knight - Impossible Path of Pain (Segmented Speedrun)

FOLLOW FOR LIVESTREAMS: / fireb0rn
SUBSCRIBE FOR STREAM VODs: ‪@fireb0rnVODs‬
This is a segmented speedrun of a new map by the creator of Impossible Any%, Gwonkee. It's called Impossible Path of Pain. Note that some rooms have ability restrictions which don't appear on the HUD (most notably no double jump in the second room), as this video was recorded a couple of months ago. There are four segments in this speedrun: one for each room, which were spliced together.

the real reward at the end is zote’s head trapped in thorns

Thorns don't actually trap zote's head. You can smack the head through the thorns!

Your wrong its the thornes that are traped by zote head

i like how the """reward""" is getting permanently sealed away with zote

That was pretty freakin crazy. That downwards dash cancel in the last section is something I haven’t seen before. Also, seeing that skip you discovered in action is always super cool.

[@SalientLamprophany]

Which skip are you referring to?

[@mirhasanoddname]

@@SalientLamprophany at 1:44 he can briefly touch the spikes without taking damage and skip going all the way around like the arrows were showing. he has a dedicated video to the skip where he talks about it in detail.

Thanks fireborn

[@kormityourboyyy491]

I feel like that ledge skip is the reason this is segmented. Still pog tho.

[@Gwonkee]

When I made mine segmented, the first room took 30 minutes, the second room took 45 minutes, and the third room (with thorn skip) actually only took 2 tries. I think the 2nd room is the hardest to do in 1 segment.
