@@zacharywoloszynski4258 my brother in Christ, the vanilla boss fights in hollow knight are super predictable. If we were talking about the godseekers dlc boss fights, that’s a different story. I beat every vanilla boss in a max of 5 tries except for the bosses like the mantis lords, traitor lord, or Colosseum of fools trials, but that’s because I kept on getting hurt on the platforming sections and contact damage from small bugs and showed up to each fight at half health lmao.

[@naomyi6341]

It's so fascinating to me how you killed the watcher knights in 11 tries with 5 health but it took you 53 tries to kill lost kin

That long drop through the treasure chest and down to the two armadillo-lookin' boys (at 16:45) is such a sneaky little dev trick!

I don't think it's "cheating" to use your chat for hints on how to progress when playing a game. In my experience, most "no backseating" rules are because the player/streamer wants to discover things on their own and/or doesn't want chat telling them what to do. If you're fine with taking hints at certain points, then it's a completely valid way to play the game~

This was an amazing 3 hours to watch :)) Sadly I can't experience Hollow Knight for the first time again but I love watching other people play it also props to you for editing all this - I love your commentary during streams too

[@ragingmonkeycritic]

I love watching new people play this game, it is so infuriating and funny. He could have avoided so many deaths if you took 3 seconds to heal

[@asickrat]

that was incredible to watch, thank you for all the awesome content therm, and for the hard work of Peri the editor and all of the moderators on the streams!!!

[@chibsmf96]

this video gave me so much nostalgia from MY first playthrough, where i suffered the same amount as he did. banger vid therm keep up the good work

[@jonkohonko]

this is my favorite video online, i watch it multiple times a day probably, it’s so soothing and always helps me relax after work :)

"thats bad for your head" while actively killing them actually made me die

I'm not going to watch this until I've played the game but I bought the game a month or so ago because I saw how much you were streaming it and thought that spoke well of it. One day I'll have time to play. 🎉

what did you think of the game?

[@JoannaLovesHistoryBooks]

@@thatrandomhomosapien4784 I really enjoyed it! I haven't finished it yet because I haven't had a lot of time but I enjoy the gameplay and I'm really intrigued by the story. I would recommend it!

It's so rare someone says Hallownest correctly that I had to do a double take and be like "akshually .. oh, yeah, nah that's right, carry on".

[@opossum1424]

What’s the correct way?

[@thatrandomhomosapien4784]

@@opossum1424 hAllownest and not hOllownest

[@jopayer]

Why do the people say "hollownest" if the word is written "hallownest"? hOllow knight, hAllownest. I don't understand it

[@softsounds8453]

@@jopayer People see the term "hallow" and default to "hollow" because it's a more common term. People also pronounce "Halloween" as "Holloween" a lot.

My good man, the DLC for this game is godlike. Highly recommend

[@vicorgaz]

i love how you say you suck but you defeated the broken vessel with only your nail, no spells, almost any charms and without knowing anything, i did it with all the charms i could get an watching the fight like thirty tims to be prepared xD. So yeah, i think youre awesome!

[@Rikrobat]

So excited to watch Therm play this game. I've heard such good things about Hollow Knight, but I'm not skilled enough to play it. I'm incredibly stoked to see it with one of my favourite creators~ Lots of kudos to Peri as well!

[@pamelotms5867]

Im sure you can become good enough to beat the game with atleast the first ending no matter how bad you are to start.

[@Rikrobat]

@@pamelotms5867 - I promise you I’m not. I’d rather enjoy the experience by watching. :)

[@riplix20]

@@Rikrobat Man, games are just polishing a skill, saying you aren’t good enough to beat a game is like saying you’re not smart enough to learn cooking, or not strong enough to play football. None of those things just happen, a dude doesn’t just become 200+ pounds of muscle for football by accident, he *works at it* A chef doesnt come out the womb with a chefs hat and a culinary degree, they learn and practice their craft. Games, especially games like hollow knight, are exceedingly simple in execution, it is literally harder to ride a bike than play hollow knight, especially at the start. You have move, jump, attack, and heal. 3 buttons and a stick. Literally Mario with two more buttons. Do yourself a favour and give it a try, it is very VERY worth the experience, even after watching this video.

[@Rikrobat]

@@riplix20 - Something to consider is that us adults have limited time to spread around on hobbies. If I’m going to spend lots of time practising something, I’d rather it be on a game that I’ve been hyped for or improving my personal writing. Hollow Knight is certainly a well-loved game, but it doesn’t mean a non-platformer like myself will take to it, especially if I have to *work at it*, to use your words. I’m not good at these kinds of games, and I don’t always consider it fun to “get good” at them.

[@Crazy_Diamond_75]

@@Rikrobat I'm an adult with a full-time job who didn't grow up playing 2D platformers. (The only platformer I'd played before HK was Braid like 10 years ago. For reference I was in college 10 years ago.) Believe me when I say I struggled with the game A LOT for a while. But it is staggering how quickly you can improve even if you're just playing a couple hours a week. I don't always have the time to play either, but it's less about the hours and more about putting in a little time consistently. It's a really fantastic game and I hope you eventually find the time to try it.

[@gabe8072]

51:03 this was literally me on my first playthru. My brother had been watching me play (after he had played thru the entire game, he wanted to see how i liked it) and during this fight he just kept telling me "please just go do something else, you arent ready for this fight" and I grinded my ass off till i finally beat it, well worth the mental anguish and frustration lmao

I played Hollow Knight for the first time in December of 2019; since then it's become a yearly tradition to venture back through Hallownest when December comes around. I'm currently doing my 4th annual playthrough and youtube suggested this video to me. Oh man, from the first minute I was hooked haha, you describe the game perfectly in your opening segment I couldn't NOT watch what happens next. The editing and humor in your video are excellent, it flows so well and I laughed out loud more times than I thought I would watching a Hollow Knight playthrough. Your video is going to be a yearly tradition along with my playthrough of the game, so thanks for this, it's incredibly enjoyable and relatable!

[@cmrcb]

My favorite is how he simply neglects that stags exist for over half of these Edit: also we should’ve had someone count off how many times he moans when damage is taken

[@cmrcb]

As I’m going thru this I’m realizing there are going to be multiple edits so instead of #ing them I am resorting to replying to myself. Edit #2: *Proceeds to feel bad after HK attempts to stab itself* 5 seconds later: “I’ll help you” 10 seconds later: “Yes, he’s stabbing himself” I’m dead 😂

[@animalxing8697]

"I'm gonna be bad at this game". Yeahhhh, could tell this would be a toughie for you since the first bug you encountered. But I'm at the beginning of the video here with you, and I'm rooting for you.

[@peachypinksarah4204]

Loved watching all these streams, I was able to make most of them live and caught up on the vods of the rest, and it was so much fun to watch your progress and discover this game with you! Your streams inspired me to play the game myself, and it is so nice to revisit your whole journey in a condensed format :)

Here's to hoping he plays Silksong when it releases!

[@MourningCoffeeMusic]

It’s kind of wild that I decided to get all the charms and upgrades before facing most of the villains, and this dude beat the game THEN went back for all the upgrades

[@eon3254]

I love hollow knight so much and Im excited to watch the entirety of this video

[@pandiez2735]

I've watched the 'Lost Kin' attempts multiple times, so when I got to him in my play-through, I was expecting pain, but I beat him first try purely because the 'defender's crest' charm insta kills the goobers when they get close to you. And it only uses 1 charm slot! It's even more effective using it combined with the 'spore shroom'. Sorry you didn't figure that out lol. Also, great video! I love how way too much time and effort was put into editing this video, along the ''over 40 hours of gameplay" that it must've taken to record! Awesome work, everyone on the Therm team! I wish yall the best and hope to see more content like this :D

[@benjiethecat]

I would love to see you play more hollow knight! One thing I saw another streamer do which was really interesting was to react to the lore. The channel Mossbag has a really comprehensive video about it, maybe you could watch it on stream? But it might be a bit much for the channel, not that family-friendly.

[@SpindleTheSpider]

Tip for lost kin: defenders crest and any strengthening or health upgrading charms. As the blobs get closer, the smell from defenders crest will kill them so you only have to focus on the main boss

[@joshuapatrick682]

I’ve got over 100 hours in the game with a 106% steel soul run for true ending and had no idea about that Dung defender scene where he actually talks to you.

[@Tubeytime]

This is the coolest way to present a full playthrough, actually better than 90% of movies
