Souls Pro Plays Hollow Knight For The First Time... And It's Peak

[@bradencosier80]

7:50 first rule of Hollow Knight: trying to prevent falling once underway will only result in falling further

[@AHorrorFanatic]

BLG never learned that.

[@eldritchcupcakes3195]

You just sit there and hope there isn’t a spike pit, acid or an enemy

[@unkilledxd5417]

Or if your that good and you know the whole layout of the map, you can actually stop yourself from falling perfectly.

[@witch6993]

when you miss a platform, you'll succesfully dodge all the other platforms till you fall all the way back lmao

[@dima_keller]

One of my favourite games of all time. Happy to see you try it and really hope you'll finish it, even if off camera it's more than worth it. Make sure to pay attention to game's lore. It has quite a few parallels to the lore of Dark souls BTW

[@witha1]

my friend told me it reminds him A LOT of the story of bloodborne

[@Saaaten]

I love the subtle detail that the shielded bug in the beginning, raises his shield upwards indicating that you could attack downwards.

[@pierdolecfabrykasp.zoo.8776]

A heads up - there aren't save points in HK - your progress is saved after anything (any geo, location, etc.). It's just when you come back you'll spawn at the last bench

[@FileCode1459]

this can be frustrating most of the times, but it can also be a "cheating" way to get somewhere faster after completing a task far away

[@meee_5155]

@@FileCode1459how is it frustrating? Also if you think it’s “cheating” consider that it is intended by team cherry and also that you can just not use it

[@FileCode1459]

@@meee_5155 it's frustrating when you're trying to get through a boss and you die and the nearest bench is still a bit far. that's frustrating bc you have to walk all the way back again. but i don't think that "cheat" i talked about is a bad thing, i used it a lot when i needed it, i just didn't know how to describe it properly so i used the word "cheating" but it's not a bad thing

[@meee_5155]

@@FileCode1459 yeah, I understand that. The purpose is to slow down the pace though. A boss fight is very different if you can just retry immediately.

@@meee_5155 true, makes sense. i wasn't used to this experience

[@eltonbokgren3398]

THIS IS AMAZING I would love to see more of this. Also the a metroidvania often has a bunch of paths that will be blocked until you progress somewhere else and get a ability to pass the obstacle. Also last tip you can pogo of spikes and enemy’s by swinging your nail down while in the air to bounce on them.

[@dima_keller]

Just a heads up - there are no illusionary walls in HK, but there are breakable ones, and breakable floors and I think roofs 😅 And obviously since it is a platformer, there's stuff hidden behind some more or less tricky platforming from time to time

[@ahmedhabib1112]

There is infact illusionary walls that you can just pass through to reveal without breaking them

[@Backfisch5927]

I think the path of pain and some hive entrances are actually completely hidden instead of with a breakable, different looking wall

[@darthnihilus1285]

@@Backfisch5927nah, all the entrances to the hive are breakable, same with path of pain

Always a treat to see someone experiencing Hollow Knight for the first time. As a long time player myself, I look forward to seeing your further videos.

[@meggy1162]

This is my first exposure to your channel and man I wanna see more of this. Its not often you get to see a totally blind first playthrough and you're really fun to watch

[@cantsu]

im glad you're liking it so far but trust me, you still have a lot ahead of you and it gets sooooo much more fun later on

[@shamstam]

This was so fun to watch ! Your humour, your commentary, and how quickly you pick up on patterns, what a joy. I'm excited to watch the rest of this series

[@siowasyobi9815]

You’re in for amazing gameplay, brilliant lore, hype ost, and more with this game. I hope you have fun!

[@JaySk8n]

I like how easily you grasp the basic premise of exploring, and I think it's where your souls experience shines through. when you encounter a seemingly insurmountable obstacle, a lot of new player have a tendency to think they might just be missing something obvious, and keep trying to pass it. You very quickly catch on whether something is doable and just needs skill, or if you likely need something else to move forwards and so explore elsewhere. I really enjoy watching this!

[@breadleyloaf8528]

"Bim? bam? boom? boom?" such deep, soul touching lyrics.

[@GuilhemAlibert]

Small advice: bye one type of markers (at least) from the shop your got the compas and the quill. This game, although there are multiple ways to arrive in one area, has a lot of spots you can t go to in the early game but that you will later. Markers allow you to always remember where there s an area you couldn t go to so you don t forger about it when you get a new ability

[@ethangilbert7305]

Why does this only have 13k views. This video was great, can’t wait for more. Haven’t seen anyone appreciate hollow knight as much as you on their first play through. You’re the ideal hollow knight player and you’re gonna love the rest of what the game has in store for you.

[@Thea-Time-13th]

Possible (minor) spoiler warning! So a few things; -The City Crest is used later down the line; you'll know when you need it. -You should consider doing the miniboss sleeping in the bottom right; there's some stuff there that can come in useful -I would advise getting the markers for special places (benches, hot springs, etc.) from Iselda (map-lady in Dirtmouth); they make life way easier! -Please continue this series! If you need any help/tips, I'm happy to help! I'm part of the HK-wiki team and have beated (almost) everything there is to this game (for those who want to know and know abreviations, I just have abp3, abp4 and abp5 to go and have fully completed the Pale Court mod + RHoG in Pale Court and with AIKG), so if your in need of advice, I'll respond as soon as I can!

[@chri-k]

can you not backseat

[@Thea-Time-13th]

@@chri-k Am I backseating here though? I think I'm just answering the questions posed in the video... Maybe I'm wrong though, but in HK, missing an area can create major frustration later on, especially if it's not marked, so I just want to avoid that if possible :/

just letting you know because the game doesn't tell you anywhere other than the remap menu, you can use vengeful spirit with r1 instead of circle and it comes out instantly

I do hope a second, third, fourth, fifth... Etc. part comes out soon because so far your journey thru the forgotten eternal Kingdom seems amazing. No backseat gaming on my part tho. And i do also hope that neither do the others in the comments (and neither do you. The creator) spoil any of the game (i mean by reading up on it or asking on sites like others sometimes do) hollow knight is a game all about figuring it out yourself

[@abodimohbek8507]

Some tips here i recommend to NOT GO TO DEEPNEST it is an end game area and also to try and get as much money as possible and there is a shoop keep called sly that is at the guz mother boss(the big fly) after you kill it go down and go into the houses to find sly oh and yoj missed a chsrm at the very beginning of the game there was a room that you could have gone into and last thing the city creast is for a much later area

[@witch6993]

i love this game sm and i will never get bored of new people experiencing it! i hope you play the game till the end. I'll say Hollow night has A LOT of secrets. keep your eyes open for breakable walls. Also, anything can hurt anything in this game, for example the balls that false knight(first boss) throw you at the fight, you could have hit them towards the boss to damage it. keep that in mind for your future fights. and i don't know if you have been there yet but check out the room above the entrance of Green Path! Also, a little tip, if you quit to menu and re-enter the game, you will be spawnd at the last bech you checked and all your progress will be saved. with this, you can escape dire situations like if you are stuck and about to die. also, if you die again before getting your shadow back, your money will be gone forever.

A small titbit of game accuracy advice, the Knight (the player character) is canonically genderless, and is referred to with they/them pronouns. Using he or she can really trigger some members of the community, which could be unfavourable as this series grows. Other than that, great video!
