Hollow Knight Speedrun - 112% APB in

The first 112% All Pantheons Bosses run to be completed under 3 hours.
Extremely proud of how far we've come in this category. This took multiple months of consecutive strat labbing, reviewing runs, practicing segments and of course actually attempting to put all of that into 1 run. This run.
Unfortunately no talking in this run, cause apparently I can play well only when I'm muted. I might do a commentary on this run some time.
The occasional flukemungas on screen are twitch points rewards redeemed by viewers
They're friendly, I promise D:
Frequently Asked Questions:
Q: Do you play on a controller or a keyboard?
A: Keyboard
Q: Why do you open your inventory while falling?
A: Increases falling speed + Removes hardfalls.
Q: Weren't inventory drops removed??
A: Not entirely, they're just way more precise. You can only do them as you fall off a ledge. That's why you'll see me use other ways to drop faster, like cyclone drops and dives.
Q: Why is the game in Chinese?
A: Faster text scroll + Less letters in general, saves a good amount of time.
Q: Why are there 2 timers?
A: The upper one is for time without game loading times (loadless), lower one is real time (RTA).
Q: Isn't the Pantheon of Hallownest optional?
A: The category is 112% All Pantheon Bosses, so all the pantheons are required.
Q: What charms is he using??
A: Colosseum: 1:57:22
Pantheons: 2:38:22

I still remember when I asked you "Do you think a sub 3 is possible?" when the record was somewhere around <a href="#" class="seekto" data-time="192">3:12</a> and you said something like "probably, but it would have to be extremely optimized"... Well, we have come a damn long way! Absolutely insane achievement, I have nothing but respect for your dedication! Well done :)

Your HK speedruns are really nice to fall asleep to. I think it's the combo of no commentary + you keeping the in game sounds pretty quiet. It's pretty comfy. Thanks, hope you break more of your records 🤞

[@randomletters69]

As someone who has played Hollow knight for a couple of years, its amazing to see your near flawless movement and consistency. Especially minor timesaves such as getting hit out of a pickup animation by an enemy that was lured into that exact position are an absolute joy to see. Its truely fascinating to see how far this games speedrun community has come. Huge congratulations on your sub 3 hour run and world record. You really deserve it. I can´t wait to see what Silksong will have in store for the Hollow knight community.

[@Maukiki]

Im so scared of silksong cause theyre gonna have to challenge guys like this 😭😭😭😭😭

[@the33rdguy]

Man. Seriously you are incredible. I remeber watching your speedruns so long ago and wondering why people do thus type of this. But after doing a seemingly impossible challenge myself I have nothing but respect for you Monsta. I do not think it is an exaggeration to say you are the single best Hollow Knight player. Thank you so much for inspiring me, so many others and pushing the game far... far beyond what anyone thought was possible. You are a legend. 😊

[@legrandliseurtri7495]

Personally I think the person who did all bindings P5 with no damage is the best player in the world.

doing 'impossible' challenges is so fun, rn i'm trying to get my pantheons done since i finished the game not so long ago ( i could finish it much sooner, but i was so lazy 💀 ) , im on the pantheon of the artist ( i think that's what its called )

[@magicianwizard4294]

It's crazy how optimized this was for the whole 3 hours. Glad to watch this from the sidelines.

[@jacobw.6744]

It's truly incredible that you've achieved this. I watched the build up of the repeated runs slowly getting closer to the sub-3h mark. You're a dedicated machine and really fun to watch. Bravo!

Also, just because its where I am in the video, there was something so wholesome and hilarious about Grimmchild getting the final hit on Hornet 2 🤣 Update 7 months later: I've now made it to P5, gotten as far as NKG and am angry at how easy Monstah and others make it look 😂.

Every screen down to a science, every fight as close to perfect as can be as long as rng lines up, it's seriously mind blowing. Gg's! Legendary run! Its a good thing there isn't a whole lot of time for him to read chat, I can't even imagine how annoying some of that would be. People spamming "noooooo!" And "why????" every time even the slightest bit of bad rng happens. There were even a few people who would spam that stuff even when he got a gold split because they don't understand how it works lol! Must feel great to have this accomplishment under the belt and behind you. I wonder how long this legendary run will stand? My guess is quite a long time... we shall see.
