How I conquered Hollow Knight's HARDEST speedrun
Ойындар
How fast can I beat the true ending of Hollow Knight? The answer is a lot more complicated than you might think.
Watch my full PB here: • Hollow Knight True End...
Thank you to Vysuals for helping with the script and the run

Low te isn’t hard just tedious and very long to the point nobody runs it or atleast as hard as reg te it’s more of an endurance test bc essence
21:54 I actually tried to do that once, but I could never beat Markoth and AbsRad on Radiant difficulty. Huge Respect. And huge respect for running Hollow Knight in general. It's really not easy

it sure was not easy. It took me a solid 24 hours of trying fro abs rad. Markoth isn't too bad, you just need to right loadout. I forget exactly what I used, but Grubberflies elegy is key.

@@Dungeon_Dunce2011 I personally beat radiant Markoth by only damaging him with nail arts in phase 1 (no cyclone slash) and then using shade souls in phase 2. I died a lot on phase 1 just to beat him on the first attempt that ever reached phase 2. That's not the say the second phase is free, though, because his flying nails are very tricky to dodge there even when you don't have to get close to him and you cannot miss too many shade souls or else you'll run out of soul and be forced to actually approach Markoth, which will probably get you killed.

Actually mad props for running true ending too! Maybe you'll be a staying face in the hollow knight speedrunning community? Would love to see you stay!

this is so rad!! love seeing new people getting into the hollow knight speedrunning community!! :D
Narration and editing were top notch, awesome video!
I love to see hollow knight speed runs! Congrats on getting top fifty! That definitely is a slightly misleading title though as there are definitely harder speed run categories for the game such as Low% or Low% True Ending
Nice job on the run!!

Never did I expect CJ to make a video on one of my favorite games ever made. Great video.
Your pacing is fast and engaging, really enjoyed the video!
I really like these kind of videos well done cjya
200hr into this game and cj finally plays! Thx
Even though I knew you completed the run or else this wouldn’t have been a video my heart still dropped when you took damage during the radiance climb! So much tension! Well done
I love the: that was clean as SHAW!
It’s been really cool to see you learn HK speedrunning!!
That was so good please do more videos like this
I would love to see more videos like this!
i love hollow knight and any challenge or speedrun to do with it. i watch fireborn all the time and so glad you loved the game enough to give the runs a try.
cjya speedrunning hollow knight ive prayed for days like these
Cant wait for the Silksong speedrun in 2087!
Great timing as I also got hooked on hollow night a few weeks ago too 😂
Great content!
No wonder CJ was feeling burnout, he was grinding Hollow Knight speedruns
very nice video and explanation of the game, also first hk content? pog
CJ always makes the best content
i also recently got into hollow knight and have even started the speedrunning route. its really fun.
absolutely do more videos explaining your speedruns! very fun content
It's such a weird feeling seeing someone discovering Hollow Knight for the first time after waiting for Hornet DL- i mean Silksong for so long
i loved being there for the streams, and like i said on stream, i am always a believer, always have been, always will be.

I was really into hollow knight when I first played it. Watching these videos makes me want to try it too
Awesome to see CJ inspired by Vysuals' run at fast50. He was 100% where my mind went to when the category was revealed
This game is soo addicting it’s insane
This is my favorite game and it is good to see more joining hollow knight
Hi! Glad to see you finally got a run you were happy with! I hope I can find myself in the vid lol
Love the hk content! If you're really feeling down for the challenge, (and have a padded room booked for the near future), try out the low% godhome ending. you will regret it
hollow knight is one of the most satisfying speedruns to watch
I almost fainted when I saw my favorite speedrunner playing my favorite game
Thanks for explaining tricks I already know
CJ and hollow knight is an unexpected combination but very welcome

Out of the “traditional” categories it’s an arguable point, though I do agree; if we’re including meme categories such as 0geo/0geoTE, and low%TE, this speedrun is nowhere near the “hardest speedrun”
oooooook, thought he was about to pull off any radiance, ok my expectations are back where they should be hahaha
I liked the video :) Would love more
Hollow knight is such a good game. Even after all this time for me it stands at a clear number 1 indie game with celeste taking a respectable 2nd.
10:42 the watcher knights should’ve watched their heads
Having Shade Soul for Uumuu and the Watcher Knights looks so fun 😭 (Sincerely, a 1.5 any% nmg runner)
Now he can do a video of any time he bonks. Or takes damage in hollow night. He has to buy hollow night merch.
congrats on the run! hoping you go for pantheon 5 speedruns too one day
I saw CJ Hollow Knight, and never have I clicked on a video faster
"what most casual players don't realize" proceeds to explain one of the most well known tips in the entirety of hk
Damn Cj running HK is so cool! Hope he does some randomizers like skurry!
Well now I think you're forced into doing an all achievements speedrun!
this was a very cool video :)
Bro's gonna beat any radiance within a week at this rate
This was a banger vid
I would argue low true percent is harder because of the pure time commitment required

cj you should try speedruns of the pantheons. its insane how quick the people who do them kill the bosses
Man this makes me wanna play hollow knicht again
Every times I see frogs I remember they're called loodles and it makes me happy

Not sure if you were inspired by Vysuals' Fast 50 run, but welcome (belatedly) to HK! This is probably my favorite game, and also probably my favorite game to watch people run! Edit: Looks like that was the inspiration! If anyone else hasn't seen that run yet, you should check it out!
