[@Spungle]

The reasonFlukenest is so incredibly broken on some bosses is that it's hitbox lingers which can multihit bosses that are shifting alot like Xero or Gorb but that's why the they have Shamans equipped more often because it's more consistent with bosses and overworld enemies

[@erierierierierie]

a lot of the time it isn't used for that though, its just good gorb for example just has 0 health

[@ILiekFishes]

flukenest can't multihit bosses while vengeful spirit and shade soul can. I'm assuming that's what you meant.

[@erierierierierie]

@@ILiekFishes it can because of a bug that makes it extremely overpowered

[@Spungle]

@@ILiekFishes Nono the flukes hitboxes linger for some time so bosses that shift alot on one specific location get multihit

[@Spungle]

@@ILiekFishes I would recommend you to watch BlueSR's video about Flukenest

[@OnlyTheAzure]

Yo, Limcube doing Hollow Knight content, what a crossover of the century.

[@johnmalaty2204]

Yeh

[@wasabilai9405]

I think what is also interesting is Fireborn's explanation to the evolution of the speedrun of Path of pain and Explosion pogo. They are really interesting as well

[@KorrieRose]

If you're wondering what that menu is, it's called an inventory knockback cancel. You open your inventory on the same frame you take damage and if you do it right it cancels the knockback and you get a fancy little frame.

[@Limcube]

The one in deepnest for example? To traverse the Centepede Room ?

[@KorrieRose]

@@Limcube I personally haven't seen it used for the Garpede room. You tend to see inventory knockback cancels when damage tanking! For instance, the False Knight or the Vengefly king

[@TheTroupeMasterGrimm]

The reason that (I believe) spells are used is because (along with already stupidly powerful damage) there are multiple bosses that scale their base HP off how many nail upgrades you have. Because of this, by waiting to get nail upgrades until after these bosses, you can absolutely mow the lawn with these guys using spells.

[@hugosan3000]

38:21

[@BobThePenguin.]

Which bosses scale with the nail?

[@TheTroupeMasterGrimm]

@@BobThePenguin. all the dream WARRIORS (not the failed champion, lost kin, or soul tyrant)

[@Juanajito]

​@@BobThePenguin. also, the enemy's in the coliseum scales their hp with nail upgrades

[@arrownaut6820]

So Happy Limcube is getting into Hollow Knight! Also yes, Scruffy really is GOATED

[@V0lt1j]

As someone who plays this game all the time it’s nice to see you doing hollow knight content

[@Halosurfer]

Something pretty interesting is that during the absolute radiance fight, you can sometimes see Scruffy quickly turn back and forth while swinging. This is because quick slash actually reduces how fast you swing your nail so much that it’s faster than the animation for swinging. So when you turn quickly you’re able to swing again immediately instead of waiting for the animation to finish. I know there are some runs against Any Radiance (supposed to be an impossible version of Radiance) where this is fully utilized and it’s super cool to see

[@LittleBri94]

I love your commentary on this, I feel like I am watching you broadcasting his full game play, very enjoyable :) Keep up the great work.

[@Limcube]

Thank you that means alot because i enjoy doing it!

[@SoullessSith]

And now this man is playing both the first and second of the two best games to ever exist. mad respect

[@werisekk3]

I have to say, I am very impressed with your ability to commentate the insanely fast run so cleanly! It reminds me of sports commentators a little. I would love to see you react to a TAS run. I can't find a 112% TAS anywhere at the moment but the any% run by Constructive Cynicism from around a year ago is... well, I hope you'll see.

[@castur_]

Oh I remember seeing you in the speedrunning discord! Hi! I'm really glad to see that you're getting into Hollow Knight. Also, you should really check out the IL combat speedruns (like the Pantheons and Colos), they're INSANE. Like, they're probably the most impressive thing I've seen people do in this game. Have fun! :3

[@Limcube]

I’ve watched monstahs pantheon runs before. Insane stuff

[@Smile-ov1us]

@@Limcube You should see the most recent Pantheon 5 world record run, it utilizes flukenest insanely well. Also there is a modded boss "Any Radiance" that's supposed to be impossible to beat but some players actually have beat it. It's insane.

[@rubenlima7311]

Am I dreaming ? Hollow Knight content on youtube ? Let's go !!!

[@sledgen.]

Yo! I started playing hollow knight like a week ago, and I love it. This is insane btw, great video

[@samcraft7573]

Keep up the great stuff Lim.

[@janjunker6458]

In case you weren't told already infection trigger is broken vessel or any of the dreamers

[@EternalPhoenix]

34:10 dreamnailing is likely to hold uumuu in place to make it as easy as possible to land the abyss shrieks. This was a fun video to watch!

[@theroboman727]

27:04 I think I know the purpose of going back and fourth like this. its a setup to make it easier to perfectly time going through the door. if you just stand there and time it manually, its hard to time precisely because the only reference point for timing it that you have is visuals. But by going back and fourth, you can utilize move cooldowns and muscle memory to time it more precisely.

[@Limcube]

I see that makes alot of sense

[@mayochupenjoyer]

THE CROSSOVER WE NEEDED BUT DIDNT KNOW IT

[@maksimgasilin5411]

Flukenest has a bug where fluke's hitbox stays longer and therefore hits more times. And it even without bugs does a little more damage than usual shade soul. And about dream bosses: their hp kinda scales to the level of your nail so runners dont uprade it until the end.

[@goldberg91]

descending dark as a shitton of invincibility frames (frames where you can not be damaged), thats why it is op

[@AngusMan_]

cyclone slash can hit 6 times when you press the attack button after the initial attack cyclone slash is the best soul gathering nail art in the game

[@rosesheridan1323]

wow, the routing has changed significantly since the last time i watched 112%APB runs. looks like there is tons of room for optimization too. looking forward to seeing you learn the speedruns for HK, it's one of my favorite games to watch. tons of variety in the runs and a great rando community too if you're into that.

[@caro12347]

"I love longer completionist runs" oh man you would LOVE low% then

[@Kinesicz]

I just got this game on sale to play while waiting for next Zelda, looking forward to seeing some SRs. GL!

[@AzazelHash281]

Flukenest was fcked up by the devs and given spaghetti code, a long string of code that makes it linger (even when the model is off the screen) and a constant damage in whatever spot fluke nest was originally cast, you cast it 4 times imagine multiple shade souls hitting over and over after you already cast it

[@fractalmuse]

Spaghetti code isn't literally a long string of code lmao

[@gussharky7614]

cyclone slash temporarily uncaps fall speed

[@silentsky0_0]

The inventory fall on current patch is only posible with a frame perfect click on the ledge of a platform. So no mistake, he needed just to do it until he made the frame perfect.

[@caseyriley1014]

34:35 1st the dream nailing actually serves a purpose, I'll tell you in a minute, and 2 not just shaman stone being broken, they're actually pushing ummu outside of the bounding box of the arena causing more damage to him for a 1 cycle. Not sure which patch this was, but I don't think one cycles like this are possible on current patch, (may be wrong about that) and I also think the fastest humanly possible ummu kill involves perfect positioning, and one howling wraiths to push him... Anyway, as for the dream nail, he's actually just using it's knockback to continually re-center ummu in the arena so that when quirrel shows up, he can get the right alignment for his wraiths to push ummu through the ceiling

[@leam1978]

very glad you are looking into hollow knight. i looked into HK after botw as well, and it was a joy. oh yeah: did you stream your casual playthrough of HK? i'd love to see that.

[@Limcube]

Yes the VODs are still all on my Twitch Channel

[@moltengears7483]

you can think or fluke charm as a shotgun. Massive damage but short range while the normal spell attacks at a range instead.

Infected crossroads is trigger by 2 things, Crystal heart and Desolate Dive, I learnt this the time I try to save Myla

[@GameOnWest]

It is triggered by either beating broken vessel or collecting a dreamer

[@Artic_Lord]

gl on the 4th one im stuck on that one rn lol

[@goldberg91]

flukenest is op because the on some patch the hitboxes stay longer so you can hit the enemy twice with one cast, on another patch you can hit bosses before they even appear and more

[@eduardofernandezvega3410]

Just in case, the only bosses that get HP bonuses when you get nail upgrade are the dream warriors

[@SomeoneTookMyOldName]

There’s also a TAS for the game, and it is also insane, check it out

[@its_saber1525]

Just a warning, pantheon 5 is one of the hardest things ever in gaming history.

[@Limcube]

I know but I literally have to do it if I wanna do this run lol

[@its_saber1525]

@@Limcube For my first run I beat, I highly recommend using Unbreakable Strength, Shaman, Quickly Slash, Longnail and after you beat white defender, you'll get a bench. I recommend swapping long nail for nailmasters glory and grub song. If you also want to, replace quick with mark of pride. The next bench after that I recommend going with quick slash, strength, shaman, steady body and grubsong. Learn to use steadu body as it really helps with the final boss

[@DynamicMagi]

Keep working on the Pantheons! I just beat pantheon 5 with the health binding last night!

[@itsClaptrap]

I think cyclone slash is used to brake falls so you don't have the landing animation after a long drop

[@a_little_flame589]

for your information, the main reason they made it so you have to do apb was to make it more climactic and in 106 they fight nkg because they wanted to make it more climatic yet botw 100% doesn't end on gannon

dont nail upgrades only increase health for ghosts?

[@Limcube]

Yeah only for warrior dreams if I’m understanding correctly

[@njstudent155]

Btw I dont know if you figured this out later, but you have a big misconception with the whole "nail damage increasing hp" thing. The only bosses with a significant effect to their hp from nail upgrades are the dream warriors around the map. Some bosses do have minor hp upgrades at the last two nail upgrades, but they don't have any hp upgrades from the first couple nail upgrades. Spells are just that good when used correctly, most of these kills have nothing to do with abusing lack of nail upgrades

[@Limcube]

Yeah, i figured that out in the middle of watching the run
