Hey everyone! I hope you enjoyed the video!


EDIT: Turns out the bugs in QG can’t hit you in 1.2.2.1 so instead you have to buy longnail to perform that skip.

There is something immensely funny about the knight just reading the map and walking right past Hornet, ignoring her threat.

"Yeah yeah, get in line. Even the bushes want to kill me."

Softlock 1
Cons: softlocked
Pros: softlocked with quirrel

[squiddler]

The abyss soft lock is pretty fitting, lol

Man claw is important. Also I cannot imagine how hard it must have been to find these in a game like Hollow Knight, so great job👍😁

[zaynanater]

i thought it was really interesting to see the development of the softlocks in the discord! Great video!

[gamean]

This video shows that most of the game is built around claw
Also, blue lake skip is too cursed
Edit: about that last softlock, didn't you reach that same position in your get to as many areas as possible challenge, and then you reached to fungal, meaning that you could get claw and make your way back to dirtmouth?

The reason why patch 1221 lags on your pc is probably because earlier hollow knight patches came without a framerate cap. When I tried 1221 on my pc for the first time it went up to 700 fps and gpu started overheating lol. If your gpu doesn't come with a manual framerate cap override you could try using a framerate limiter software such as Rivatuner like many speedrunners do

Ok, but the missile green screen joke was actually funny lmao

2:06 Just found a "use" for Heavy Blow :3
Also, Ori music in Hollow Knight!

[mweep]

It was fun being in the discord call while u were doing 8:07. Great vid as always Fire ❤

I thought I recognized Ori music and apparently I was right! Hollow Knight, Ori 1 and Ori 2 are some great games with amazing music! Also, nice timing at 13:22 with the soul sanctum/soul master theme.

Why does having the map allow you to skip the Hornet boss fight? That's so funny but it seems so weird that it's in the game at all.

Great video, one really sees that you spent much time making this. And it's exclusive hollow knight content, no one else did these softlocks as far as I am aware

[stretch]

Ayo
Ori music
I like that game
Also holy cow this video is incredible
The amount of dedication and planning you've put into this is so incredible
Amazing work!

[respicio]

Greenpath is where I fell in love with this game.

[MegaDragon]

Me trying to figure out why the hell I'm watching how to softlock my game.

(nvm only read the pinned comment now) Great video and I can notice that you put a lot of effort into them! There's just a little thing that bothers me in the second softlock: Since you need 1221 to perform the lever skip with dash slash to QG, the skip in the slightly darker room in QG that leads to deepnest won't be possible because the spiny husks' thorns don't have a hitbox in that version. I'm not sure if this is true, but I think it's worth it checking out if it's possible. Great video again!

Hornet do be actin strange. You think silksong's got her stressed?

[bow_to_gorb]

Nice music choice, Ori and the Will of the Wisps is one of my favorite games :)

[doomeddragon]

Dashing and Bashing is one of my favourite Ori tracks <3
edit: omg the Forlorn Ruins music too heck yeah
