New Hollow Knight Any% NMG TAS in 25:29.66

Hope you enjoy, its by no means perfect, but its pretty good. I plan on coming back to it at some point. Make sure to check the TAS discord if you want to learn more about tassing the game (ask for it in the main discord)

Wcs proofs:
(those are the controversial ones imo)

Just so folks know, a _lot_ of work went into optimizing a run to this level. All those times the TAS got perfect rng? That doesn't come for free; what rng manipulation means is trying a bunch of different timelines until one of them rolls the rng we want. This TAS is the product of a lot of careful planning and an enormous amount of dedication and persistence to actually work through all the tiny details and get exactly the right timelines. Congratulations on completing this work of art.

Run invalid, didn’t say hi to elder bug

[suzannesanchez]

One minute in and you already fool the game that's crazy

[nothankyou]

That was one of the most beautiful watcher knight fights I've ever seen. Gorgeous.

[Luguanyu]

THK truly had no voice to cry suffering.

This'll be Fire in like a year if we don't get Silksong

[MillisecondFalcon]

That was awesome!! I love the route you took through the lasers and just above the crystal spikes to get Crystal Heart. Uumuu! And I don't think I've ever seen THK lose so badly to a furious Knight with only a simple nail.

yo are you planning on doing a commentary for this TAS? (if so I would go batshit insane)

[ДенисЛитвинов-шъ]

No glitch too much
No spell to cast
No amulets to wear
No damage taken that be critical
Born of tool and assistance
You shall seal the blinding light that plagues speedruner's dreams.
You are the perfection
You are the TAS

[nothankyou]

I love in the beginning watching you hit forward and a clink sound & animation just appearing behind you. I know the mechanics that go into it, but its just really funny to see the knight swinging the nail forward but hitting behind itself

[MildlyDying]

Woah Jarlyk wasn’t lying, that THK fight was insane!! Great job with the TAS, I’m sure a psychotic amount of work went into this, and it really paid off!!

[beamtrigger]

I am so amazed this was done again! but 3 minutes faster, nah this is unreal

[constructivecynicismsr]

super amazing to see, i love seeing all the improvements that youve made, congrats

[meissmart]

3 and a half minutes off the previous TAS...Truly insane. Great work!

[kairouchan]

I wonder what the theoretically fastest time a TAS could achieve. If you cut out lantern and maybe crystal dash as you have wall cling storage I wonder what the fastest time could be. Im a hollow knight noob but I believe TAS could do darkrooms.

This is absolutely incredible and so inspiring! I might even redo watcher knights after watching this 😂

[Patrik]

Great TAS and I honestly can't even appreciate all the timesave, it goes beyond my game knowledge.

0/10 Didn't save Leggy (beast den grub)

[crushermjm]

We watched this on my stream and we all loved it - my favorite part was the skipped fall in kings pass with the nail knockback - I had never seen a TAS do that before!! That and the C-dashless acid skips were incredible with the use of WCS. Super well done:D
