The 45 HOUR Long Hollow Knight Speedrun

so before we start off let's go over some things vote percent trending refers to getting the dream no more ending by defeating normal radiance with as little completion percent as possible which ends up being 26% getting all the dreamers requires mantis Claw vengeful spirit and crystal - gonna get Raider Lord requires month wing cloak and shade cloak and monarch wings are required for this one jump in white palace there are also some unavoidable bosses on the way to items that count as percent but the bosses we can avoid I would create the biggest problem to get the true ending we need to get 1800 essence for the awoken dream male and getting this essence can be done fairly quickly if you actually use like the dream warriors and dream bosses but unfortunately the only boss you can do that with is lost can because we need to fight broken vessel anyways to get wings so we don't actually add anything to our percent by fighting Moscone but because of this we can only get to 907 essence when combining ghosts whispering roots in Moscone so how do we get the rest there is a mechanic in this game that normal enemies have a 1 in 300 chance to drop essence this is lowered to 1 and 200 if you have dream wielder which luckily we can actually just get during this run because you can't avoid dream Euler on the way to a welcome drink mill because you have to talk to the seer for both of them but even with that this can easily add 40 plus hours to the run with how slow it is to grind this essence but yeah now that you understand the run let's get started nobody I don't think anyone else is gonna ever do this I mean I don't expect anyone to but yeah we are gonna be opening up the station here so I'm gonna need to get some tea oh nice yeah there's only gonna be one run and we're not finishing it today so yeah the actual part we're gonna be playing where we actually play the game of this run it's actually pretty interesting we're gonna be basically going around to every dream tree and also getting like pretty much every face in the game I shouldn't be playing you that's a percent you're a person fighting you spell's counters percent yeah so the only spell we can get is vengeful spirit because the only way to get into green path is to use a spell basically but every other spell including shade soul we're gonna have to skip because that's unnecessary percent I'm actually doing this yeah seems like a good idea I don't know what else I'd be doing with my time steel sole that would be a terrible idea shouldn't but often it's okay not too worried about having a bad green path in this run for reasons yeah nobody has been dumb enough to do this until now I mean yeah like the thing is to run the sides to the person screaming I think is actually pretty cool so it would be cool to like see runs of the rest of us but I don't think there's any way of making that happen so yeah we can't get any trees yet because you don't have dream nail but we're getting that really soon there's just no real good way to get you know early because we can't fight girls mother when does the bird farming start like I don't know I don't know how long it's gonna take to get there it's gonna be a while though we got a lot to do first why would I do this I don't know the main reason is I have nothing else I feel like doing redone so I might as well provide some content even if that content is eventually going to just devolve into hitting Birds okay this is kind of scary because we need to go up and get the dream tree it's kind of dangerous there huh gak's 2.0 although here we go yeah they're just probably get rid of this guy though you're just gonna hit me out of it see how there's gonna be a lot of this going on for the first part of this round what the heck was that dude do you see that nothing was shooting a laser okay now we're gonna do the watch your Nate's alright this might actually be kind of hard but we got it actually do a hit list dude I love like low equipment watch your Knights fights they're so fun no I got hit easy what's the wall do the wall where's the where's the tree oh my god these guys like how there's just a mosquito in this one that is all of them nobody saw me heal there no dude I hate when I miss a platform and I just miss every platform on the way down as well cloth tape wha ya cloth time yeah this is we're gonna be doing fostering this because it's a free essence be saved I don't know if I need to like stay around I think it's fine if I just leave right away hey it's all part of it but it's all part of the route we can't have memorials affecting our routing you can definitely get up there but uh I think I need to use that fee if you want to once he spawns spawn to be spawn a beat thank you what zooming it's zooming zoom in there we go no stop need to back up these beats are gonna murder me if I'm not careful I think I think I chased most of them away for me okay there we go there we go there we go there we go nope nope nope nope nope nope I would even hit me I don't even know it hit me I think it was a small beat I think it was a small B can I not gate make that jump dude that is so enraged the hive without wings is the worst holy crap I'm gonna die again maybe this isn't worth it this isn't worth it okay we're skipping this ghost we'll just have to grind one extra essence all right I forgot these sites are actually hardly over I might die a few times on la skin oh that double bug holy crap stop doing this okay here's our here's 400 free essence but we got to do this fight here I want to be at full health for when he runs out of stagers because at that point there's no way to heal basically or it's very hard to get heals in because loss can has a stagger limit so you see like every few hits he goes like oh and I have he's vulnerable for a bit that stops happening if you do that enough for some reason because in a lot of situations you kill him before it even happens because like depending on your equipment you can all the essence dude you know how lucky that is what did 300 baby let's go oh my god oh god don't die though no don't die okay oh my god okay we're gonna get our C rewards because if I equipped remove it right now it not only helps me with boss fights and stuff but it also increases the chance of enemies dropping essence so we're grabbing that right now and so like every enemy I kill from now on we'll have a higher chance we're also gonna do a very fun part of the run here we're gonna have to do the rebek area we want to get all those ghosts because that's a bunch of free essence wait why did I tech Rebeck I'm dumb a lot where is he so yeah we need to try and get all these ghosts while replicas trying to mess us up luckily I'm a master rebek barrier so we're good see if you don't damn it no that's fine oh my god oh the double the double send all of them that's all of them yeah that's all rebek still a though he's still trying to get us even though we've wiped out everyone and now we can get rebek yeah screw you why would you ban me I didn't do anything yet [Music] sitting would waste time should maybe use some dream milder in the Spain I got a chance what the heck why didn't I turn around oh my god stop landing on her do what is that you just happened to be going for where I was exactly again damn it [Music] okay good thing I benched well there's so many things there we go hey website is done I think I don't know this I remember the last time I did this tree there was a bunch I forgot and I couldn't find them until like the very end they're literally hunting me through this entire mat right now dude oh my god it's raining it is raining orange that's not all of them I'm pissed I hate this tree the most because I cannot find the frickin thing sometimes it's this tree this tree is the worst one there's it's it was the same ones as last time wasn't it yep it's half of it is from trees and ghosts and stuff and then the other half is grinding where do we grind green path I couldn't find a better spot the best spot would be in Flook like right next to fluke nest because there's a ton of those little guys the problem is is that we need dive to get there and that would be an extra percent because you can beat it without dives Oh God oh my god did I not die 2 siblings out of that not now that spike not hit me I hit my head off like a solid floor mossy boy we're gonna do mossy boy why not why not I don't think I need the Geo but just in case we need video you know just to be safe you mossy boy just cuz I love this fight sunlight yeah the only reason I'm doing this is to open up that because if it's not opened up then later on when we come from the queensguard inside to do the tree it's just not gonna be possible dude which one did I miss am i blind that would make sense okay time for like 10 cycle ooh what they vote single dude the second collectible so I can immediately with three mil there this is kind of say I wish tree Miller was just default right now that'd be so good there goes the three one nail hit one nail hit the classic the classic you know what that has happened I I want to go into some backstory about this right so I ran low percent for a good amount of time which has the same load out as this basically without dream Euler the past like five runs I got I got a four cycle with one nail hit left I also got that one routing this run and then I got it during this run so I'm literally cursed like it happens every time can I even jump here oh that was too low first try they practice radians I did it once I did it once on stream that's my friend essence baby let's go wait there's a ghost up here that's too essence drops that's - where's ghosty marries or it's it's multiple doses in this case this this category makes me so excited when I get essence it's like the greatest thing ever when it happens I'm here to see how curses category was yeah it's super cursed this is probably the most curse category now that over sent glitched is like not as bad 40 hours here I'm not doing it all in one sitting I'm gonna do it segmented but the plan is to actually complete it eventually huh okay it doesn't matter if you grab that really but I'd like to avoid it at least I feel like that's a really interesting part of this around that isn't in anything else is getting all the like optional ghosts it's actually a lot of fun I assume puff did not hit this thing at all yeah it seems like Oh cloth saved me oh my god damn its cloth wait what happens though what happens Oh God okay wait what the did I just block me out of the run why is the gate closed dude this better open the gate I swear this better open the gate what the hell is happening what what is happening what is happening there's two closets there's two trader lords and two plots oh my god dude what is happening this is amazing I'm so glad I died right now to see this this is incredible the gate that are open by the way I assume it will after this this is Zoe is a gorilla thank you okay it's not dude it's not dude okay it's light everything's fine dude everything's fine no collision we're not invalid boys we're good it doesn't spawn another ghost we're good dude I thought we could just get all the essence we needed from cloth that would have been so funny sit over here oh I remembered where this was I'm assuming it's gonna be fine someone brought up there like what if you duped traitor Lord and you have an extra percent now I don't think that happened because it didn't split the first time so I think I'm fine but like peanut Brown with this game okay what do we got we need to get the dirt no treats I forgotten or a crossroads tree we also need to get the Mantis village tree I forgot that to Emmett I forgot to treat we're almost to the the hell portion of the run by the way we're almost there when I take him so much damage this room sucks when it's infected dude they might have been worth it to do this before it was infected they go the wrong way for the tree is the tree not here I'm so confused oh okay you know I just had the weirdest memory do you guys remember that game in Twilight Princess where you're like hook shouting through all the glowy things I just realized that's that's kind of what we're doing in this like when I was crystal bashing through those Khloe's I'm like haven't I done this in a game before do you look at that look at that mantis explosion Pogo skip it was amazing we gotta we gotta kill these things because we might have essence for alright where's this tree again is it in like a cave and the right side I forget where this trees bottom oh so if all goes well I should have 906 I think if not I must have missed something else oh shoot oh wait we only have 816 I think I missed something I think I missed a tree ok we missed one we missed one we missed one which one did I miss we need to figure this out which one did I miss wait Tree Glade tree I got the ghosts I didn't get the tree oh oh I have to go all the way back up thought I was gonna have nine oh six okay take it well guys it's been a good run it's been a good good time so far but it the real run begins now and here is where we we see if I actually have what it takes to run low percent true ending Oh extra birds need bonus Birds we're gonna kill everything on the way here here we are best room and the people leave yeah we can get nine Birds here if I actually input it right dude holy crap literally take days yes I calculated it would take 36 hours in game time which is a lot more real time and we're gonna see if I actually have the fort mental fortitude to do this because I don't know I mean very oh did it with even worse grinding as he didn't have a dream wielding could take 36 hours or it could take twice that I don't know I had good luck so far we already caught up see this is the rest of strimm this is the rest of like my my light this is uh this is all we're gonna be streaming [Music] [Music] I said upload the BOD oh five left five so you think as YouTube as like a 10 hour limit oh my god for two in a row how am I doing this we're almost done you should be asking why have I done this to myself can we get can we get just blessing emotes we just summon the essence there it's not showing up we need some blessings remember when someone said earlier that theoretically we could just not get an essence for like an indefinite amount of time that's happening right now it was so hype and now the hypes dying down because I can't get fine essence and like 12 minutes it doesn't want me to stop it's not gonna let me stop secret coding preventing you from getting 90 like 18000 stop saying these things I don't like these things no not Wilson it anything but Wilson it it's not rewind time it's not rewind time I am in like right now that the fourth to last essence is like more than its it's approaching like a double my previous longest essence where is it you know you can spam handi for like average bird RNG or even bad bird RNG this is are exceeding bad rng no guys it's a what did 200 there's nothing anything I do differently is just gonna waste time anything like if I let's go kill other enemies let's let's go but quit out and reload the game it doesn't matter it doesn't matter it's the same thing okay I'll do it I give up I give up we're doing a quit out strat what the hell no go away Will Smith go away stop terrorizing me I don't understand there has to be something wrong right great it broke the game broke the code in the game broke oh my god what the hell was that okay cool oh my god let's go okay I don't even know how to play the game what am i doing look at it look at it oh my god I've never been so happy to see this animation yep kinda expected that to happen haven't done this in a while there we go showed us the salient that's how you know nice that's probably honestly that's the hardest cycle guys wanna throw in jump for the fans Thor jump for the fans you know whoa I almost missed the head now just gotta get Boyd Hart and then we can do this really difficult Radiance fight okay as weird no cost to great not even the cost of grinding Birds for 40 hours no mind to think not anymore after that frickin grind no will to break my will did not break Oh worry I don't even have shamans I'm trying to navigate to shaman stone no charms to use I seriously doubt I'll die to the hollow night but yeah no promises for ratings whoops dude are you kidding me oh okay we need to quit out hey there he is imagine it was he was invisible again alright it's over now Oh [Applause] I'm gonna get one hit here not that it really matters that much okay well let's see if I can get this first try Oh no why did I think that would work I dad so you got something you can't do with vs as he can't get double hits really which is why I focused a lot more I'm like being close to radiance oh that ball oh phase shift here we go okay yep saw that coming saw that coming oh you almost got me or that one oh my god that almost was a frame trap [Music] let's go sub 45 this is the longest run I'll do in my life of anything second try radiance easy you okay so we gather here today to pay respect to the birds that gave their lives for the essence grind their sacrifice was will not be forgotten and it was all for the greater good of completing this run because we couldn't have done it without all these birds that we that were sadly lost along the way all right everyone press f press f [Music] [Music] yeah it's rewind time
