The Toughest Hollow Knight Skip I've Ever Done

Turns out Magolor posted a proof of concept on a variation of this a few years back. On current patch I'm unable to pogo the lumafly hitbox however so I had to insert a rather precise damage boost into a series of already difficult fireball skips and super accurate jumps. This is the full skip, done unsegmented, but I unfortunately haven't figured out how to pull it off without the fourth fireball. If you find yourself in this sitch during a randomizer playthrough and you happen to have something like Mantis Claw or better yet Monarch Wings then not only can you use fewer than four spells but the skip can be done without an ungodly amount of luck/skill.

Sorry if the title is a bit clickbaity but it's completely true. Maybe I'll rename to Greenpath of Pain lol or something like that. That nail strike on the wall isn't mandatory but it helps me a bit.

worth it for the second best charm in the game (after compass ofc)

[blakeworthvv]

i love dumb skips that will probably only be useful in randomizers.
i cant wait to see what people can come up with for silksong, if that ever releases

[jdw]

This is probably the most unnecessary yet coolest skip in HK

[Armistice]

Wow, that was good. I'm sitting here thinking "whats so hard about this?" completely forgetting it's a skip and not cloak wing and claws platforming

[thetherrannative]

Greenpath of Pain is SUCH a flawless name for this awful room.

[chaoticstarfish]

Thorns of Agony is the best charm for hitless runs imo

[dandragonz]

I’m impressed, that look like it took ages to get right

I wouldn't call the video's title clickbaity, as it's too wordy to be so (from my perspective). Even if it is clickbaity, I don't see a problem with it because it accurately describes the video without exaggeration.

I did try this on a recent challenge run, damn, it was possible after all. Tbh thoe, without save states this would just take so much time. Extremely impressive

[Jackgamingl]

I Bet a randomizer could use this for The extra item

[Blair]

This can be done without Twister btw in a non Steel Soul file by using your shade at the beginning. Dunno why I didn't think of that originally

[Tsinij]

Inspired skip!

I put about 40 hours into this game recently since I never sat down and played it. What an absolute masterpiece.

[maybeitsright]

thats going to be super useful in any% amazing how far people have come with speed running

[elsidelfaki]

i cant even make a single fire ball skip this mans makes a brand new skip i have to step up my game here

[fantasytalent]

Oh that's my favorite skin too that your using. NEAT

[gabtrg]

Watched this a while ago without realizing it was you

[colbiashimaru]

I think the title is good and not misleading really so I would keep it

[An_ImaginaryFriend]

useful for an item/room/both randomizer, but i dont think im even gonna try this :eyes_shake:

[steamavila]

and here i was feeling special because i did some jump i was not supposed to do :(

[abdsanwar]

wow you must so great at this game to be able to buy the charms from salubra without having the nessacary amount of charms
