    Thanks for Watching :) Upon finishing off this video, Lep has finally beaten his time with a 31:52! These two runs are close to identical so fortunately the video is still 99% accurate. Huge congrats to Lep for this achievement!

    I mean NMG it IS required, since downpatching midrun is not allowed in any HK Speedrun. Edit: hilariously it is now possible to do full clawless on one patch thanks to a discovery that you can Pogo on your own shriek. We'll find out if this ends up being deemed a major glitch.

    Hollow Knight runner here- it's always awesome to see well-constructed breakdowns of my favourite cateogories!

    Love how precise this run is. Calculating everything down to the single geo really says a lot about the skill level required to even attempt any%

  • @blazethegame

    @blazethegame

    Жыл бұрын

    Any% at its base level isn’t all that complicated. It’s the optimizations and tricks that can be more difficult. But even a mid-level HK player can complete an any% run (myself included), although it isn’t fast. You collect geo with a simple route, so there’s no calculation going on. You just need 1800 for the lantern, and (I think) 400 for something else.
