Hey, about the bit of where the rain comes from and the fact that city is in a cavern in 41:30.. now, it's not said anywhere in the game, but in an interview with Team Cherry they said the entire game is underground, even Dirtmouth is in a bigger cavern. And.. that's kind of common for many kinds of bugs I suppose? Being so small and living your entire life in a big cavern, and you feel like, it's your whole world.. you can't travel across all of it, so the caverns are infinite as far as you're concerned... If you ever went to the surface, would you ever recognize it as "outside"? Or will it just a bigger cavern for you? Except that.. at the surface everything is so bright! Being born in a cavern, the sun has never been your friend.. it's blinding out there and the wind is so strong it can carry you like a tornado! But things down here are nice and comfy and dark.. no you don't want to go out. There's nothing out there.

You falling into Deepnest after having also found the mantis lords entrance is the funniest thing ever. For me, it was a little anti-climatic, as I first entered throught the mantis lords gate and then went back out near the pit, instead of dying right before it like you did last part. So when the ground collapsed, I was just like:..Really, deepnest? That's the worst you can throw at me? 38:46 When I first saw this message, I immediately went back up to check if that was actually the case. I didn't notice that it closed down behind me. 44:39 That single second is the peak of Hollow Knight. When the title of the area appears, when you're finally outside the walls, and when the music gets even better. 1:46:41 While playing a room randomizer of this game, I ended up here, without having done the soul master fight. The result is that the second phase started and I heard him over me trying to crush me.

Fun Fact: If you had gone into the Mantis Village where your rewards are before defeating the Lords, the Mantis above the entrance would have Lipped the switch and put up a gate to keep you out

I legitimately started crying the first time I got into the city and heard the music, you're not alone. ☔ The Soul Sanctum is quite a difficulty spike for a lot of players, I still find it treacherous even after getting good at the boss fight. Also, story-wise it's interesting to note that this is the first place you see enemies who are fellow spellcasters.

If you enter the treasure chamber of Mantis Village before you defeat the lords the lad inside smacks the lever in front of him which slams a door in your face. It's simultaneously one of the most hilarious and most infuriating things in the game. He opens it again after you earn their respect. A little hint: you already have the means to uncover the secrets of those weird shells in the Fungal Wastes! You just need to realize how. I can see why you just wanna sit down and enjoy the atmosphere - it's bloody brilliant. It's amazing to imagine that the vast majority of this game was done by just four people, including one bloke - Christopher Larkin - composing and producing all the music. (There's one point where the track has vocals, they did hire a professional singer for that, but ya know, still.)

i don't know about you guys, but the her "oh no" always gets me, amazing episode

I was so impressed by the first try take-down of Soul Master! I had such a difficult time with that boss on my first playthrough. Kudos!

It's fun to see how easily these bosses come to you, taking a lot of them on first or second try. They're all about learning move sets so it's very engaging! Hope you'll continue finding it lovely, cus I sure will watch all of it!

Omg this episode was amazing!!! Your reaction to falling back into Deepnest was so funny it had me in tears, it really is hell on Hallownest. Continually shocked by how well you pick up on new boss fights, going up against the soul warrior I was convinced it would kill you (as it did me on my first time through) but you dispatched it with only one mask of damage. Then taking on Soul Master with such grace was just incredible, he's my favourite boss and to see you enjoy that fight was a pleasure. Also, I have to ramble about this or else I'll explode. Hollow Knight is one of my favourite pieces of media ever and there isn't a day goes by where I don't wish I could experience it all again for the first time. The closest I can get it is watching other people play the game. I already convinced my best friend to play months ago and was lucky enough to be able to watch as she did, so now finding your channel and this series has been such a blessing. I legit got quite emotional when you entered City of Tears for the first time as you reacted almost identically to how I did over a year ago now. That location is my favourite in the whole game and has a really special place in my heart. The atmosphere, art and especially the music are all perfection. I own the piano sheet music book and regularly play City of Tears, it helps me feel at peace. So seeing you take a moment to soak it all in and appreciate everything really hit home. So glad there are still people experiencing this beautiful game for the first time and loving it. Sorry for the long comment, not expecting anyone to read it, more just a bit of therapy to get my feelings out there. Still, can't wait for the rest of this series. Love you, Amber ☔️ (platonically, of course)

Love seeing you really take your time with things to not miss anything (spoiler: you will still probably miss things because there's *so* much to this game). Waited for this all week! 🥰

40:00 you taking a moment to just enjoy the music, sights, rain etc. is great. I love the game for little stuff like this, I would just stop and bow at NPC's, go visit them later, etc. etc. PS (MINOR SPOILER): You and Quirrel get to see where the water comes from, eventually :) I didn't remember him speaking about it by the point I got there, and I love that he mentions it here.

42:50 Hollow Knight does have that way of making you all introspective and philosophical, questioning the nature of relationships and the meaning of life. That moment in the city is just spectacular, especially considering how Quirrel's story ends. A masterpiece.

It looks like this game was made for you, and it's sooo nice to watch you experience it! I love it

Ahhh I’m so excited!! This is my favorite play through!! 🥰☔️ 1:23:50 I never noticed, but they do look like Sparky Sparky Boom Man!!! 🤣 it fits too because they hurl projectiles at you!!! The most geo I’ve lost so far was 16k 🫠

Your reaction the the City of Tears and it's A+ atmosphere and music was so fun to watch Also the most geo i've lost must've been like 1600. Worse thing is I was saving up for the lantern so I needed 200 more☔☔☔

1:24:00 sparky sparky boom man is a good reference.

This is my favorite game. I like how you stop to appreciate the artwork and atmosphere, and I enjoy your speculation on the lore. Looking forward to the rest of this series. ☔

Wow so many secrets in the first five minutes, I never knew about those! Hahaha and then the drop into Deepnest xDxD Nailed it ☔️☔️☔️

I can't stress enough how much you are just a perfect videogame player (or maybe you're just a perfect person, i really don't know you but...well, it could be that as well): you empatize with the feels the game is trying to make you feel and you're also skilled as hell, i've never saw someone playing hollow knight smiling basically all the time and also easily doing soul master on the first try. Soul master is not, of course, a complicated boss fight, but with the little experience and very few (if none) upgrades that usually a player has when he meets him, it's usually not an easy first try. You, playing videogames on youtube? A blessing. Really, thanks!

@@legrandliseurtri7495 If the boss is doing one damage at time you're not in danger with two masks and that's not an opinion, that's a fact, even if you would consider that being in danger, you're one hit far from being in danger. but whatever, i will not continue to argue about that first try if it was a good one or not. I've saw many blind run of hollow knight (from people that are just entertainer, not speedrunner or something like that) and she was the only one to beat it first try, that alone should say a lot about how good she was.

Your reactions to every little discovery... that there is what Hollow Knight is about. But your reactions to the Mantis tribe bowing to you in respect... and Quirrel sitting on that bench in the City of Tears... lovely. That is the natural reaction. And when you were so happy to see Cornifer... that's all of us, right there. I've lost count of how many times I rejoiced upon hearing his humming. Bare bones may his maps be, but the help SO MUCH. Then the Soul Sanctum and defeating the Soul Master first try. You are a good player. Your journey is barely taking off, and soon you'll have to brave the dark depths of Deepnest. But no matter where you go, remember Hornet's words: "Seek the Grave in Ash". Small clue, but crucial. I love this game!

1:06:27 well there is a lot of rain so... yea, thats london.

Watching you play this makes me want to replay it haha ☂☂

Having played many, many hours of Hollow knight, I'm really enjoying watching you go through it all for the first time. It's been really instructive for me to see someone who is so much better than I am at games -- it took me like 50 attempts to defeat Hornet, which you did first time -- but it's also really noticeable how patient your gameplay style is. Thanks for making these videos! ☂

For me it took a few tries to beat hornet and 50 tries is a lot. I am glad that you did not stop playing the game because of it and have become a fan of it. I remember seeing a 0 star review of someone complaining that it took them 20 hours to beat hornet?!? Which is obviously exaggerated. I don't think people should give hollow knight 0 star reviews just because the game is hard.

@@moondewan absolutely agree! It really did take me about 50 tries to beat mantis, but that took about 2 hours, not 50... and at the end of it I felt even more inspired to keep going. Now I'm at 98%, and have "completed" the game, but am still nowhere near as good at playing it as people like Symbally are, but I still love it! :-)

The moment by that bench, the rain and music flowing around us. What a beautiful memory for us all to share, well worth the time spent there. Thanks for taking the time, not my first time there or watching a playthrough but you really captured the feeling of that area. Also I agree, id love to live with my best friend and just vibe.

Always remember that you can talk to shopkeepers every now and then by walking to their right until the prompt changes from "Shop" to "Listen"

I've been loving this series so far, hollow is my fav game and I hope you enjoy it as much as we all do

I don't know why but I just love watching you play Hollow Knight. Sometimes I even play it simultaneously as well. There is just so many incredibly cool things in Hollow Knight, even after 200h I'm pretty sure I haven't seen everything and when it comes to Mods, there is soooo much more crazy stuff to explore.

I think this is the most fun I've ever had watching a playthrough on KZread!

I just want to say don't apologize for your random thoughts and such. That is what makes your channel and playthru interesting. It has compelled me to play hollow knight thru again. In this episode you are totally cool not killing the little white dudes you found, unless you need a complelesions run. Without killing some things your hunters journal isn't complete. On the flip side, certain npcs are killable. It is a matter of how far you want to see the game thru, as it has many endings. Again, I have enjoyed and appreciated your playthru.

Loving your playthrough, you're doing very well for your first time (soul master is a hard ceiling for lots of players). Also, yes! you have so many places to explore now, you can go use that key at the bottom of city, there are lots of places you can use desolate dive to access, you can go buy lantern and explore the dark room in crossroads, and a couple more options I won't spoil away :) Keep it up! also never apologize for sitting and enjoying the music. The soundtrack for this game is AMAZING. And remember we can always just skip forward if we don't want to see it (I stayed, City's theme is very pretty). Also now that you have access to Lemm (relic guy), geo will really stop being a problem, he's the best way to get lots of cash very fast. Feel free to buy anything you get people to sell you (including lantern, and yes it will be important, you're not crazy). I left some non-spoiler tips and little pieces of advice on your earlier videos, but I don't feel like repeating myself so if you want, go look at my comments on your first 3 parts. Keep it up! ☔

I was getting withdrawals yesterday, checking your community tab and twitter to see if I'd missed any videos or announcements 😂 Seeing your upload in the subscription box always brings a smile to my face ☺️

always enjoy this series! can't wait to see what happens next! ⛱

1:06:18 "I have to pay to sit down? What is this, London?" That gave me a good laugh.

Yaaay! Just binge-watched three previous videos and happened to be right on time for the next one, lucky me. I'm SO here for you playing this game, your play style and attention to fine details & secrets make me so happy ☔️

I loved how you simply were in awe with the beauty of City of Tears ☔, reminded me about seeing it for the first time. You have gained enough abilities to explore almost all the dead ends you have met so far plus you got the key, and almost gathered enough for the lantern, cannot wait to see where the path will take you next time😊

"Through its sacrifice Hollownest lasts eternal.... Jesus??" I mean you can't argue with that ☂️

Loving this series so much! Glad you’re enjoying it too ☂

Yessss I've been unironically waiting for this video! I love these, you and your videos are reminding me of how I felt when I first started watching gameplay videos on KZread, it's amazing. Thank you so much for doing this, I enjoy it so much

I've been playing this game for nearly five years, have sunk something like 350 hours into it ... and it is STILL showing me things I hadn't found before. Not only that, but you're finding them on a blind playthrough Amber! Legendary stuff.

Oh my, this is the perfect play through to watch. Your play style perfectly mimics my own and it’s super satisfying to se you pay so much attention to all the small details and the environments. Other youtubers get caught up in “witty” commentary and rush through the game, missing much of the story and never stops to just absorb the atmosphere. The fact that you absolutely slay all the bosses is also so impressive! i was stuck for ages on both mantislords and soul master. Bravo!

I'll have to be honest. I didn't know who you were until I saw episode 1 of this series on my front page but now I'm excitedly waiting for new episodes. This is one of my all time favorite games and I love that I can somehow partly experience it fresh again through another person. I also appreciate how long these videos are. Keep doing what you're doing. Love from Finland
