    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!

    As a hollow knight player/speedrunner, I admire that you said “Mantis claw is ALMOST required”.

    "The hardest boss in the game: the Watcher Knights" NKG, Pure Vessel, and Absolute Radiance: Allow us to introduce ourselves
  • @Mister_Clean
    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%
  • @CoolLookinPea
    “And promptly kills it in 1 second” Me who died to it twice: ☹️
  • @seann3333
    I've only finished the game once and have very little knowledge about speedrunning, but your editing and narrating made it simple to understand and enjoyable to watch 10/10
  • @ThePCguy17
    Are we going to talk about the fact that the two runner-ups are Lepfan and Lepfoe?
  • @miim_luv
    “he’s a cheater we all know this” wow chat is very very supportive
  • Amazing video, hollow knights speedrun is very complicated, and you showed it off perfectly. Keep up the good work
  • @cryolitegem
    It’s speedrunners that got me into the game in the first place. And here I am years later, learning their routes, and taking on the hardest challenges that the game has to offer.
  • @CS0723
    Great video! Well produced and very engaging. You've also got an excellent narrating voice, awesome video man. Content to be proud of
  • @Otlumrys
    I didn't know the watcher knights was a very difficult boss and now when I know I beat it without searching for guides it makes me feel happy cuz it's my first hardest boss I fought
  • @NoNo-ll8og
    Amazing narration I love this game and was hooked. I appreciate that it's not overly edited to keep your attention like so many videos nowadays
  • When I came back to Hollow Knight and did a second full playthrough, I didn't use any skips and got a final time of 12hr02m and I thought that was fast. Dang
  • @the33rdguy
    Wow this is so cool and inspiring for my own HK journey. Thank you for an amazing video! Really inspires me to try even harder on 2.0 😊
  • @lostboycmd
    "this time has been brought down constantly" shows a graph much closer to a logarithm
  • @nuancedgaming
    And here am I still stuck on Hornet after 3 hours of continuously fighting her... 💀
  • Sometimes someone explaining a longer speed run can be quite boring but you made it really fun and the time flew by
