Hollow Knight Speedrun - Pantheon 5 in

First sub 17 minute Pantheon 5 run!
The beginning was very bad, but I feel really good about the second half ^^ I think I could bring this time down to 16:3X if I really worked at it, but for now I rest :3

it was terrifying to see you not pick up the last lifeblood when you had none left

[@Nimbus3690]

He had to leave it cuz he needed to keep his health at one heart for the extra damage

[@TheDocmaligno]

@@Nimbus3690 more like he needed that extra time, there were no gaining for changing damage for saving time in the pure vessel and the Absrad

[@Nimbus3690]

@perdido jhonson what? If you kill the boss sooner, you gain time. He didn't get the extra health cuz taking damage would have taken him longer to get down to one health

[@TheDocmaligno]

@@Nimbus3690 lifeblood doesn't count for fury, as long as he has 1 white mask he have the extra damage. So if he doesn't need to trade damage for time, getting lifeblood would add more time.

[@Nimbus3690]

@perdido jhonson I know what you're saying but the game replenishes health at the start of radiance fight, so having full health and the lifeblood on top would have taken longer to get rid of, because the lifeblood masks get taken away first, and then the regular masks. That's why he didn't take the final lifeblood.

[@nirvool_6968]

The man actually took damage twice at the end and risked losing everything. Knowing fully well that he already had the record in his grasp. This man is insane and a genius. I hope you go on to do great things in life.

[@Gh0steyy09]

I mean i guarantee that Radiance is probably their most practiced no hit boss so they probably had practiced to the point where being 1 hp doesnt even scare them anymore

[@danishkhan2937]

Absolutely. But knowing fully well that the record is within grasp, nerves take over. It takes a genius to be calm and not play safe at that point.

[@legrandliseurtri7495]

@@Gh0steyy09 Even I am at a point where doing the last two phases of radiance without damage is kind of normal, and fury of the fallen allows the speedrunner to basically skip the fourth phase, which is usually the hardest.

If anyone is wondering why he does not attack during grimm bow, it causes grimm to instantly pufferfish.

[@einoheikura6083]

Oh i just fought him for the very first time and i wondered why he pufferfished straight up i thought it was lagged

[@arbitraryindividual]

And that makes Grimm easy to cheese if you have enough health to do so It’s either bad or good

Fury of the flukes

[@shrub8644]

Didn't they nerf it? Is this in an outdated patch? or is it still op?

[@teiull9388]

@@shrub8644 it was nerfed and this is not a outdated patch, instead what happened is that now in place of flukes being powerfull by default their hitboxes are bugged and linger after the flukes hit the target, this is called "ghostboxes" and if a enemy moves while inside said ghostboxes they take multiple hits of damage, this is very easily shown in kills like gallien and kzbin.info/www/bejne/eoGbZZuQl6aaj6c this montage shows it well

This honestly is probably the most skillful speedrun I've ever seen. Like you speedrun mario or something a lot of it is memorization, but the rng in some of these fights can be crushing. Then again you did kill so many of them before they could even do anything so maybe I'm just talking out my ass, but either way, this is the coolest speedrun I've ever seen.
