Path of Pain + Pure Vessel + Hitless + Nail Only

I choked this run at the end like... at least 4 times. Wasn't a lot, but it was enough to make the run insufferable...
Thanks for watching, and a like on the video would be greatly appreciated!
Credits:
The Path of Pure Vessel mod was created by Saleh to change up the end of PoP, replacing the two Kingsmould with one Pure Vessel.
The Little Grimm skin (installed with CustomKnight) was created by _yukawa_, and can be found below:
docs.google.com/document/d/1q...
At this point, Path of Pain isn't too difficult for me, and neither is Pure Vessel.
When you put them together AND make it hitless, though... Slightly more challenging.
Also decided to do it Nail Only, cuz... well, cuz I can.
Not a lot to say about the gauntlet, aside from the fact that the arena is a lot more cramped, and getting cornered on either side is basically a death wish, but as long as you take active control of the middle while fighting PV, it shouldn't be that bad.

with every day that goes by without silksong being released, hollowknight players grow more and more powerful.

[@purehollow4460]

You mean more masochistic

how does it make thematic sense

[@traxmaxplax8239]

Ermh actually 🤓👆 in the end of pata of pain there was the pure vessel waiting for you but developers thought that would be increibly unfair

[@errortrossity]

Some evil part of me wishes this is how the path of pain actually went, with a bench sitting outside Pure Vessel's boss arena, of course.

[@Write_name_here]

Why is this actually such a good idea. I mean there is an unused vessel bench in the files for an unmade abyss area so if teach cherry went down that route it could always be used

[@infochan6776]

No.

[@normalhuman512]

Honestly doesn't need the bench

[@benjaminj.9730]

You mean before the path of pain?

[@tek563]

"Path of pain" why does it need a bench before pure vessel fight? Its literally in the name "pain" this should be hard sadly its just a mod 😢

2:24 I like how your swings matched with the Sealed Vessel bgm for a moment

[@GarryDumblowski]

Oh hey, they finally got the focus attack to work outside the Pantheons.

[@adrimen7329]

This can be a really good idea. Imagine if when you finish the path of pain in vainilla, with the 2 guards, then when you keep going you Find an infinite soul statue And a bank, like a checkpoint, And after that, is the Pure Vessel protecting his secrets.

As a rookie player this is the most insane player I've witnessed. You deserve a.... a thumbs up

ngl this would be pretty cool (only if they put an bench before the boss) and it makes thematic sense

[@AlexMcGuire-sx1xy]

the sheer amount of challenges you stacked onto this is conflicting me. on one hand well done that's insane, on the other hand why would you do this to your self!

[@drewnitz7968]

Excellent job! If you use spells during the fight it’ll go way quicker btw. Out of curiosity how many attempts did it take

[@LeonHK.]

I know. That's why I didn't use spells... It took me about 6 attempts in total, i believe? Some resets along the path, and about 3,4 times choking to PV, since the final arena kinda tripped me off.

[@Fraaaaj]

You make it look easy

[@wakreel]

right, when you watch someone playing hollow knight it looks so easy. even absolute radiance. but in reality...

[@thesouth8470]

I know this isn’t related to this video but do you have any tip for doing watcher knights in early game?

[@billcornereverything2219]

I can give you the tip of Quickslash

[@thesouth8470]

@billcornereverything2219 Quickslash is good but i’m looking for something earlier in progression

[@LeonHK.]

1. Keep both of them on the same side 24/7 2. In early game u don't have shade cloak, so remember to pogo while you can 3. Another tip is that u shouldn't move much, when 2 knights are up, and you're having to play defensive, they can only get as chaotic as your own movement, so if u find yourself not needing to move, just don't 4. Also practice using vengeful spirit while watcher knights are rolling away for double hits, it speeds up the fight so much 5. Speaking of spells, use shaman stone. You have no reason not to use it. These tips are not extremely helpful, but they help to expedite your practice. So good luck!

[@rockbiter-gf2sx]

descending dark if you want to go get it early is really good for immunity frames and splash damage

[@thesouth8470]

@LeonHK Ok thanks for the tips I’ll try they out when I get a chance :D

[@italopontes8756]

I'll have to do this on my cell phone...

[@cuffia5189]

how do I fight the pure vessel in normal game? (I discovered that he exists only with the godhome)

[@LeonHK.]

You need to do Pantheon 4, which iss in godhome (Each of the 4 pantheons requires you to defeat a number of bosses, and Pantheon 4 also has that, but you need to do the first 3 pantheons also)

How do you make your character "cosplay" as Grimm? :O Is a MOD or something?

[@wrednaxela5831]

It does make sense but maybe with a bench before it

I've always figured it could work if the PV just did 1 damage and maybe was a little slower, just to make sure a player won't have to try too many times to win.
