A Hollow Knight SPEEDRUN but you have a GUN

life is pretty dark and gloomy at the moment and there's a lot bugging us so obviously as a human race we are drawn to hollow knight a game designed by team cherry infrequently compared to super sammy and the diminished spirits where you play as a little spanish flea who may or may not have wished to be a superstar the star-studded scenario and this obviously being the one where you are chained up and thrown in a cage in order to keep a glowing moth at bay but of course on this journey to stardom there are all sorts of inconsiderate insects trying to crack you up and steal your natural talent normally in a run your main weapon is your nail which is a small stabby stabberton that doesn't quite pack a punch at first but going is how it's called a nail and we have several of those on our fingies and toes wozzies which have never taken a life to my knowledge it's pretty safe to say that bad boy won't be mowing down many mandibles being a fantastic game it has a fantastic modding community with options to play the game as a ranged fighter add new skills skins or even live the life of a journalist with easy mode none of those are a big help especially that easy mode because we are in fact gamers of the epic variety so with the tip of ardoras and a sip of our dues we'll be speedrunning with only the most neutral of special mods available this is hollow knight gun percent so yes i knit knack paddywhacked gave the bug a gun and on top of having the inflated sense of self-esteem i gave myself something else i don't have irl quality of life as the name suggests this mod allows some loving little changes that reverse uno's team cherry's attempts to butcher the speed run as well as skip some tedious sections allowing a faster and more fluid run on current patch the bobbin [ __ ] of a bot in the bottom right corner of my overlay is my mascot cyborg chan who is once again leading a game of run hp a live stream minigame where viewers can use points to impact the run in a helpful or hurtful way the hollow knight version being a bit more special with a few extra options that we'll dive into later that being said the run begins and akin to closing our eyes while driving i open my menu while falling to ensure we crash into something faster and allows us to do what many gamers did when they refused to buy last of us too and skip a cinematic experience with memories of our old friend the kool-aid man we break down wall after wall until i nestle into this corner and do my best cave story impression and use our ak to help ourselves into this horrid little hole i do what i normally do when i see chest and i smack it but this one rewards me with a charm instead of a slap with my ego inflated i have nowhere to go but up and i pretend a few bugs and pillars or booties and give them a smack to raise me up along my way as i continue down i begin to ponder if i'm using too many innuendos in a rather e-rated video before the floor gives out from the heaviness of our thoughts but as with all of our problems fallen can be solved with a gun breaking through to the other side i plummeted to town where i ignored talking to the mayor because for whatever reason as of late i've had a hard time trusting elected officials instead i equipped the charm to deal more harm a little note for the gun is it's not as op as it might seem every shot consumes some soul but hitting will refill it so as long as i don't miss i can keep firing however charms and nail strength do affect your bullets so by equipping the charm i double the damage not only dealt but taken and give my fire rate a much needed boost since i have a gun i get to make my own rules and my rules say head to green path to ask hornet some very important questions this gatekeeper stands no chance against a barrage of bullets so after shooting his spleen we head to green cece loving the gun violence decides to throw me a bone and rolls a super soul which allows me to have infinite soul for 30 seconds so i can more easily mow down the green town and add a lot of frowns pulling another cave story i inch up here to grab some extra dosh to subscribe to hornet's only fan's account so she'll talk to me another gun hover allows me to make my way over to hornet's hidey hole where she just finished banning a creep asking to be her pay pig but i am classier than that and much like someone bringing a knife to a gunfight i brought a gun to a knife fight to show that i can hold my own and support her since i feel we had a real connection because i give her money once online eventually she gets tired of being around the barrage of bullets and innuendos so she flees the area and leaves my last message on scene the feeling of rejection is brutal so i splurge and buy myself a new coat to feel fancy in before save warping back to the first bench feeling swell i hop back in the well and head here after i fell and i moved past the guy who sells to pop a few floating pimples and head down to the mushroom maze and pass the owen wilshurns to the next room the pits here contain acid but i'm not users or losers so i stayed true to the holy spirit and continue past them and down to another break of the sequence variety by and i quote gun falling down to the mantis mansion i invade their home and play with their lovers luckily i'm not a deranged individual so i managed to get by only killing a few and they're so grateful they give me a hand and i proceed to head out without causing any more bloodshed before defacing a statue to become the master of dash i elect to increase the difficulty unlike anyone on kotaku by cramming a new charm into my charm hole it fits like a glove that was shoved somewhere that it didn't fit with almost no repercussions outside of the fact that now a single hit will remove 4 hp but that doesn't scare me at all and so i elect to move down the shaft in a slow manner to show how not scared i am because fast falling definitely didn't have any chance of getting hit by a random insect eventually i make my way to mamabug who i neutral special but she did in fact see it coming and instead of doing the bounce battle she elects to charge me head on clenching my cheeks i elect to try a new plan of action where i fire more gun and actually hit the enemy which proves fatal she drops berths a beastly battalion of buzzing bugs to battle me but my bullet barrage once again best these bad boys i take a seat to soak in the fact that i just murdered an expecting mother in her offspring and consider writing an article about it but that would make me a journalist and i'm trying to be good at a game so instead we alert this bug that users are losers and he clears his head and returns to town to lead an honest life of retail not only did the charm we crammed up our charm hole increase our rate at which we can dash but it also filled our bullets with helium and so they allow me to float up and take a dip much earlier than i should be i enter the graveyard where i'm haunted by visions of plumbers in rpg settings and some weird looking anime girl before i see the light and enter a dream of a dreamer not being a fan of the movie inception i like to leave but unfortunately the game thinks it's just too good of a film so it brings me back before telling me my opinion is wrong after saying goodbye and claiming it wins it flees the scene and i elect to chase it near the end i find my totem and i'm allowed to leave the dream and arrive in a new scene but i careen off and injure my spleen and leave to add this locale under places i've been on my way to my nickname for youtube comments when i say a game is bad i take a small detour to steal the journal of a wanderer something's been bugging me upon arriving i hop lock and pop over some spikes to snag a seal and break into an elder's home to grab some extra dala dollas and then holla over at the golden girl to tell her the show's been finished for 28 years which causes her to explode in anguish that she'd been saving up to bribe the writers to allow her onto the show having no more need for that money i like to take it in order to give myself a manicure later i make my way up to the wascali watchers before plopping my buggy little behind down for safety as i have to open up the path first and the local riffraff are not keen on it the safety proved a smart choice as i finally get to see what my insides look like disappointed in the results i decide to put my innards back in where they belong and beat down the ruffians what took them out in the first place i triumphantly flick the switch they held so dear before heading down to the fountain to finally ask hornet our very important question [Music] wins silk song everyone tends to run when i talk to them so clearly i'm not pretty enough yet i continue on and float up to this lonely little hut where i can get my nails did before save warping and removing the meany beanie charm from my hole seeing as how i am headed to no doubt take a repeated beating from the roly polies i make my way to their hideout before i cut this rope to crush a husk before heading into my inevitable doom sure shooting i managed to job it a few times as these wi-fi sonics capitalize off of kicking my router but they're not even good enough to be fake so i live and learn to beat down these speed kids before ending someone's wet dream heading back down i snag another crest next to the chest and gather my reward for stopping a wave of sonico sees i stop at the shop to share my secrets and seals and acquire more currency than a youtuber who does daily uploads on e-celeb drama ring-a-ding i sing for the thing to whisk me way back home to our dirty little nook and cranny where i unlock the subway system and say hi to the scared stray x user who is kind enough to sell me a lantern for 10 times the market price with a song in my heart knowing he has meshed well into society better than i ever could have hoped for i once again am feeling swell after his cell and head down the well where i can tell things are not very well this is 2020 after on the pandemic hit hard despite stats and whatnot the majority of these bugs refused to wear a mask because they believe it would impact their freedom which it most certainly would have had they worn the masks because they wouldn't have the freedom to get sick this is a nasty scene and i don't want covet 19 so i finagle my way down and around until i get into another acid bit i am only human and humans make mistakes and unfortunately i succumb to peer pressure however people can grow and people can change and i realize the error of my mistakes so after bottoming out i pull myself up and out by distracting myself with the love of cave story and curly brace i'm too cool for school but arrive at the teacher's archives anyway to plop a squat and head deeper and deeper into the hole of knowledge dodging as many jellyfish as i can normally you would need a crystal heart or an immunity to acid here but i brought something just as effective a gun popping out powerful pellets to propel us across i sneak down and prepare for my fight against a jelly with an emoticon for a name what this marine meanie doesn't realize though is that one of the first games i ever played was spongebob's jellyfishing game and his inspiring words of it's the jellyfish echo in my mind as i transfer those skills to this game because as everyone knows swinging a jellyfish net is almost one-to-one with firing a gun i finally gotcha and head down to again be taunted by my lack of heart or immunity i do my best impression of the sharks from west side story replacing snaps with shots and barely managed to get my way to the dean's office being the hard party boy i am the dean and i don't get along well and i prank them by erasing them from existence leaving my college experience causes me to have a lot of deep thoughts on what to do next so naturally i had somewhere fitting to have said deep thoughts making my way through the mighty monstrous mandible mansion maze i managed to meander to the margin of the nest walking past the casting couch knowing full well i'm not pretty enough to sell any lewds i instead sneak up through the attic to awake the final sleeper but the big boy beats me down with a bad bop on the back end of the room and i drop pop and plop back to the bench and forced meander through the maze again after an embarrassing walk of shame i head back up and learning from my recent jobing i like to take a seat just in case i get beat once more but again i learnt from my mistakes and gone harder whereas last time i gone lightly before i cram my dreams in another sleeper with the seal broken another ring-a-ding is made and i make my way back home for the final showdown there's a nervousness i can't quite quell as i head down the well to where the hollow knight dwells but as we approach his cell i sit for a spell before heading in to hear his yell if you were unaware by now the gun despite range and bullet barrages it is actually unable to stagger a foe and hollow knight brought along with him the power of cheetos and anime so yes whereas he cannot parry a bullet with a sword like his favorite shows he is still granted a plethora of iframes this was actually my first time fighting him with a gun and it took me a while to realize that in this specific situation it is ironically a meme which only dawned on me after eating several cheeto puffs and having no time to heal from how dangerously cheesy they were so by channeling my inner wii by dance the deadly dance with the name of the game before realizing i too have not been respecting the six feet apart rule and i get myself a nasty case of the virus as we usurp the main man himself completely legitimately and definitely on our very first try if you'd like to see more videos akin to this or the get laid percent video

GUN mods are the path to enlightenment.

No matter how many people complain you just can't add GUNS into everything and those people are wrong.
