Wow I can't believe all of this was added in Lifeblood. Can't imagine a Hollow Knight playthrough without this tbh

*BECAUSE NIGHTMARE KING GRIMM WASN'T HARD ENOUGH ALREADY*

[@argen2949]

I think he have more Health than Radiance during the fight when i win, i was like "JUST DIE ALREADY FUCKING BOOTLEG DRACULA"

[@abhainnxv1554]

No, Radiance has 1700 health, while NKG has 1500. It's just easier to hit the Radiance than NKG.

[@Vin2q]

Does his health scale with your nail upgrades

[@viscourt1]

@@Vin2q I know this is a little late but only the first fight with Grimm scales his health with your nail. NKG is always 1500 hp.

[@CreeperConnor]

NKG gets really predictable once you can beat him, Zote is a million times more of a piss off

[@user-pp6pr5fg8w]

[@lucariomaster4525]

Its sweet, But dont eat it.

[@liamlee7730]

Poo isn’t sweet it’s stinky

[@Thesaurus_Rex]

I'm not sure if this is new (I haven't seen anything about it in the wiki), but equipping a level 2 or higher Grimmchild and going to Millibelle's bank will make her cower in terror, unable to be interacted with, as the Grimmchild pelts her with fireballs. Even if you rush over to her, she still can't be interacted with before the Grimmchild begins its assault. I couldn't get any other charm to initiate this behavior, and no attack I used caused it either. I guess Grimm Jr. sees right through her.

[@kippen9486]

Thesaurus Rex This has been there

[@Thesaurus_Rex]

Really? Huh. I remember it shooting at her, but I don't remember her reacting.

[@tdimensional6733]

Grimmchild (and Weaverlings) used to attack Millibelle as well, but her cowering in fear is totally new.

[@chloeunderwood4597]

6:17 This one's a huge improvement. They cut out the music so that could add to your already impending disbelief (NOOO NOT CLOTH NOOO) and build up the tension for that one final strike. Also TL gives off infected clouds, showing that he was truly just another infected boss.

[@dargons5145]

You know, you should really do this more often. Your editing and entertainment value is top-notch, not even mentioning the information density, and looking at the views/likes/dislikes ratio I see I'm not the only one who thinks that way. On another note, I'm still in awe that they just dropped almost a full content pack's worth of content on our heads without announcing it, being obligated to do it, receiving any money for it or having any other reason to do it besides love for their work and wanting to please the players. Truly the unparalleled best game devs I've heard of so far.

[@tdimensional6733]

"but they did it anyway, because we don't deserve people like team cherry"

[@altaparks3627]

"unparalleled best game devs I've heard of so far." uh, have you forgotten about Yacht Club games?

[@EvaHoshizora]

@@altaparks3627 Team Cherry gave us 4 DLCs for free. Work hard for nothing in return really. I think they deserve the title of Best Indie team.

[@slowmetabolism6544]

why did they make traitor lord deal 2 masks of damage it hurts me inside

[@zephyrsaix8319]

slow metabolism tbh he deserves it

[@stwbmc98]

It shows how much stronger an infected bug can be than a non-infected one.

Some Cryogen Thing sure not Mr. Hardcore McPro, my apologies for being a noob who cannot defeat a boos wich is so easy that needs a buff

Nightmare king Grimm got buff? Sealy? Fck lol.. I need to kill him then before they pacthed it. Damn.

[@keithredacted8154]

(EDIT: There's also some new Sly audio - link in description) (EDIT 2: Soul Master being smaller is actually just a glitch!) Anyways, hope this was helpful to you guys! It took a while. I had to restart like 50 times for this.

[@khrisgallor1341]

THANK YOU SO MUCH. You compiled all the changes I wanted to see and much more!

Keith Redacted That’s a spelling mistake.

[@Thesaurus_Rex]

Thanks a ton for making this! It's really cool to see all these changes compiled together in one place. And everyone makes spleling errors. No one is perfetc. Don't sweat it.

[@CyanWyrmie]

the weawersong grubsong combo seems to generate soul from anything that has a hitbox. It works with failed champion and false knight's empty armor.

[@shadowfire04]

free soul. neat

[@tdimensional6733]

Yeah, it's kinda disgusting with Quick Focus. Grimm becomes- not piss easy, but certainly not difficult once you know his patterns.

[@bartmanners8852]

You even got all the audio! Amazing job man. This is also my first time hearing the new City of Tears tense theme. Its so fuckin epic.

[@Malacante4444]

They know the game's over a year old, right? Right?!?! It's insanely impressive that they're still releasing updates.

[@monkeydad47]

i mean, payday 2 is like 6 years and they still drop content on a regular basis. However the difference being that team cherry drop DLC'S for free, because we don't deserve them.

[@Moneyman-33]

GTA V still has updates going on recently and that’s like 10 years old

[@lucamazzone8474]

Team cherry needs more credit. They're a brilliant game company cant wait for gods and glory!

[@zynel413]

2 years late but because if some copyright stuff it's now called Godmaster. Honestly I prefer the new name.

Yo, you got featured in Team Cherry's twitter

[@J2EARTH]

Wow weaversong + grubsong is a great combo for spell builds now. Best video I’ve watched so far detailing the lifeblood changes, it’s short but showcases everything.

This is a well done video Keith! Way to go! :D Thank you for going through that restart hell. xD

The City of Tears battle theme is AWESOME! 8D

[@BradTheDead]

That City of Tears action music made that wave fight so cool to first play. It's kinda weird to say, but I'm glad I'm late on this game since the devs have heaped on a lot of polish.

[@RafaelMSSilva]

Now that's THE content! Great video!

[@squamishobscurities3361]

Great Vid! Something I noticed on my play through is that the lifeblood seeds seem to run waaaaay faster, and at least two of the cocoons give three masks now (eg. fog canyon). Subscribed!

[@alexanderblixt1221]

The fog canyon one always gave three masks, and i remember that another one does as well but i can't recall which one.

[@squamishobscurities3361]

Oh! Weird I never noticed before... I've been doing a Fury of the Fallen (+ Fragile Strength) run using Lifeblood masks for health. The other two Cocoon locations that give three masks are above Galien and Kingdom's Edge. 19 Lifeblood Masks available in total (which you'll lose sitting on a bench, entering dream fights, and some other autosave points i.e. after Kingsbrand)

[@alexanderblixt1221]

Ah, yeah the Galien one was the one i was thinking about.

[@jeffreypopek]

damn this editing is TOO GOOD

[@NoMustang273]

[@TheRacoonRanger]

a minute in and I just gotta ask, couldn't you already skip the stag cutscene? It played on it's own but if you hit the nail button it cut it short.

[@keithredacted8154]

It was always skipable for me too! Just wanted to let people that the animation is longer but it can still be skipped (since someone also asked me if it was going to affect speedruns)

[@pureinsanity933]
