The coliseum keeps track of how many enemies you kill before going into the next phase, not WHICH enemies you killed. The glitch makes each kill count as multiple, instantly advancing to the next set of enemies over and over while the previous enemies stay alive. The stronger bugs stay alive, while weak ones are one-shot to progress faster, and then used as substitute for the bosses.

I had no idea Flukenest’s history was this crazy. All I knew was the Lifeblood nerf and a bit of multi-hit jank you could do with it (it can trigger multiple Zote kills to speed up Eternal Ordeal for example.) I wasn’t aware the infamous high damage Flukenest actually came from Hidden Dreams and that the lingering hitboxes existed in Godmaster. Thank you for taking the time to document all of the Charm’s history!

My only problem with Team Cherry is how they balance the charms. I really don't get why things like fragile strength, fragile heart, quickslash and shaman stone can exists but the more fun options like flukenest are made to be worst. I rather have flukenest do way more damage rather than using the boring shaman stone. And that kinda applies with a lot more charms. Spore shroom should do way more damage. All the lifeblood ones should cost 1 notch less. All minions should do a bit more damage and heavy blow should maybe increase your damage slightly? I love the game but i always end up playing with the most boring builds in every playthrough, and i do try using different stuff but is just a heavy auto imposed nerf that it isn't worth it.

I do think that this is one of the cases of "no game can be perfectly balanced" though. I mean, I don't think you'd ever see a game where EVERY item is perfectly balanced with every other item. Each charm has a niche and a playstyle it can fit, maybe heavy blow is objectively terrible in every way to an experienced player. To someone new, that logic would apply to fury of the fallen. Which is an amazing charm for high dps in pantheon runs.

Programmer: the "spaghetti code" checked for and executed the enemy kill code for each of the flukes. So standing on an enemy, many would hit at the same frame and execute the kill code simultaneously. Nothing in the code checked if the enemy was actually dead before running thereby letting it run as many times as called.

Team Cherry is an incredible coding juggernaut, but falls into spaghetti with this one damn charm.

There are a couple small editing mistakes in the first few minutes of the video, sorry for that! These are some text elements that stuck around in the wrong places due to me moving around the beginning portions of the video. Sorry if they're distracting, my bad!

I always use flukenest on the watcher knight in my playthroughs with them rolling along everywhere they took all the damage and the fight is ended really easely

Nice content man! Good luck going forward.

Great video. I love hollow knight and never knew this charm was so bugged! Feedback: there are several times in the video where there is nothing in focus on the screen for several seconds, and it makes it very hard to look at. I understand the blurred background gameplay with info in the foreground, but when the entire screen is blurred background with no foreground present for several seconds, it is physically hard to look at. Examples: 4:06 4:58 6:41 6:50

The year is 2172, silksong has been released for 3 years now. Team cherry, now called team blueberry, has just released the new vessels together update adding cross compatability between hollow knight and silk song. Flukes now have a 30% chance to be replaced with a copy of the player.

I remember seeing Bosjesmannen make a video a long time ago showcasing that flukenest most definitely doesn't do it listed damage, but I didn't know any of this story, great video!

Because of this video I’ve started using flukenest for certain bosses and I can say that it works wonders on the watcher knights I play with a health bar mod so it’s really fun to see that health bar halved once they get within fluke range
