That’s technically the dreamshield’s fault, as the shield rotates out of the knight’s control. Also it isn’t bashing, it’s more like a spiky shield, and they touched it with the intent of attack, meaning they caused their own death.

Technically the spikes release themselves when you get near, so actually the spike is trying to kill mr knight, and therefore the spike is at fault, and the knight only pushed the spike away in self defence, in which the spike hurt those bystanders. (who were btw not innocent).

Wait actually this video quality is so good. The sponsor sequencing was amazing, and the Heist Chapter was some of the most entertained I've ever been to see the grabbing of claw really really well done. If you are doing Chapters in this video, you might want to include them in the description as well so they show up on the video player! Really liked this video as well, hope to see more Hollow Knight and time to binge some videos.

I thought this video would end early with it being impossible to progress further but you actually beat the game. That is so cool! Also I loved the movie-tier editing. This is now my favorite Hollow Knight video on KZread.
I’ve literally never played this game but your commentary and unique spin on it made this video so entertaining to watch.
The Precepts of Sample 1. Money is Everything. You can't get Geo from killing other enemies as that would be killing. 2. Accidents Happen. Death is an inevitability and cannot be avoided. It'd be fine to not prevent death from happening, as long as it's not death at your own hands. 3. Always talk to Elderbug. He gets very lonely with all these runners skipping him. He needs someone to talk to! 4. Gravity doesn't Matter. You can send spikes flying towards anything if you just hit them. No gravity needed. 5. Free every Grub. All grubs you see have a home and a will. Free them if you can so they can live full, happy lives. 6. You can only use glitches once. Everyone has 1 chance to use a glitch, but no more! After that, it'd be unfair to use another glitch! [ UNDER CONSTRUCTION ]

Also if you don't do damage to his head while he's down he won't do his little tantrum phase which won't allow the breakable wall to become breakable so you do have to directly hit the false knight at least once as letting him get back up just makes him resume his usual attacks
honestly I love when these kinds of challenges include some variety of semantics regarding what is and isn't considered hurting enemies. not only does it make the challenge possible to finish, but it results in plenty of jokes I can't get enough of

@@abigriffin9496I have theorized no soul true ending, and I've found a way to do this (with one additional glitch). You can probably use bench storage, which can be gotten quite easily with hazard respawns. This would allow you to equip Kingsoul for less than four seconds to access birthplace.

I watched this video for the second time recently and we NEED another hollow knight video from you.
Insane that you pulled that off! The Video was super entertaining you deserve way more subs
Fun fact: You can kill the baldurs with dream shield however it's pretty precise and is very time consuming.

Also requires stabbing them, because stab ignores defense. If you're sad when you do it, you'll do more damage.

Video quality is immaculate, my dude. Also, I very much appreciate the Danganronpa music you put in your videos as background music. Those games have such good OSTs.
Just watched the heist section. 👏👏👏👏👏 Bravo! That’s really cool, and the presentation is very creative :)
It’s actually an insane testament to team cherry’s game that you can sequence break and finish their game without ever using the nail. F**king phenomenal game design... IS SOMETHING I’d say if team cherry didn’t put watcher knights in the game.

@@janovich. lets say you did the watcher knights first try. Thats 20 attempts on flukemarm. The boss that is literally a floating hitbox. The boss that has literally one attack which is incredibly easy to avoid. The boss that you can kill in 20 seconds by just pressing 1 button.

@@dirtfrosting it's probably the amount of owned items. You get to the flukemarm somewhat early into the game, and intended way to watcher knights is having wings already (like pretty late into the game, at least on my first playthrough).
I was wondering about this, but no soul definitely is different than what I was considering (if they came back it was fine, dream warriors count as dead (well, minus the two that come back), etc) but when it came to the dreamers I was unsure. But for this there might be options if it is strictly no soul gained: the defender and spore shrooms (though less optimal), thorns of agony, defender crest, the summons (minus the soul based ones) and, maybe but not likely, grubberfly elegy.

When I was trying to cheese failed champ I didn’t actually damage him while he was down because neither the weaverlings or hatchlings could attack him when he was far away. So I basically gave myself an endurance test cause I didn’t realise to hit him when he was down, and got to about six staggers before I realised I screwed up. It can be really fun to just survive bosses without killing them
Love the commentary, you were very funny. Loved the video.
The breakin with leg eater at the little table is the cutest thing ive ever seen in my life
It always surprises me whenever you upload just how amazing your problem solving skills and editing mesh together to create such incredible videos
This feels like finding a show that no ones heard about and knowing you’re watching something that’s going to pop off soon, best of luck man I look forward to your future videos :D
I need to thank you for the things i learned from this video because i was doing speedruns and i skipped so much essential parts thank you
Loved the video dude! Keep it up!
Actually, you could very well kill the Baldurs, as Dreamshield is one out of the two options to kill Baldurs without spells. The other one is Longnail, which is very strict with timing and also gives soul, while Dreamshield has a bit easier to learn timing. The trick is to tap the nail button to attack, since that makes the dreamshield thrust outward, while your own nail will be too short to reach. It only takes some time and patience with this method.
