Hollow Knight- World Record Speedrun Reaction: No Major Glitches
Vložit
- čas přidán 26. 06. 2019
- This is a reaction to fireb0rn's World Record Hollow Knight Speedrun. I don't know much about speedrunning and have not watched anything on Hollow Knight speedruns until this video. I was absolutely AMAZED by the skill and the interesting skips. I am going to have to attempt some of these skips to see how hard they are to do. It is possible that some of these skips are no longer possible and fireb0rn is using a different version of the game.
This world record speedrun was done in 33:4! The skips are epic and I really hope you enjoy

oh hi
@@smelliott2347 Hello
Hi
Ok
Hello btw
"Hey you know that little bug who entered Hallownest 33 minutes ago? He just killed the Hollow Knight!"
Lol. Now that’s a story
Best $15 I ever spent.
“Wait, he *WHAT?!* IN 33 MINUTES?!?”
@@timlean7327 Everything goes so fast that everyone would be like, "who?"
pale king: that’s my vessel
When you want to beat the game and still get a refund on Steam.
Why did you get a refund for a game that is only $15 and is soo good?
Stonks
why would you refund a masterpiece that is only $15?
Antidragon 109 you can’t refund a game after completing it
Distortion I would have given him so much money were I the devs cos he promoted my game
Mom: We leave in 35 minutes!
Fireb0rn : ok *completes Hollow Knight in 33 minutes*
And we still have time to brush our teeth, get dressed, do our hair, travel to Africa, and still make it to school half an hour early.
It took me longer to defeat the mantis lords, than it took this guy to beat the game
I know right?!
It’s taking me rn 7 hours 😅
Did u beat them? I mean, they were pretty easy, very predictable moveset
@@nf7560 after about an hour, yes. There moves are very predictable, it was just about getting the timing down, figuring out the best way to counter their throw attack, and figuring out the pattern of the double mantis lord drop attack
It took me longer to beat False Knight, in my first playthrough.
Spoilers..
He didn’t go to see Mila cause the heartbreak would only slow him down.
That makes sense. This man has to guard his heart to follow his dreams
Relyea are you going to make a video on those speed running tactics? Adding any other tips or tricks you might know or may have come across?
@@RelyeaGaming damm thats deep lol
I was just thinking about this exact idea.
Dawson C i thought it was spelt myla lol
Just imagine that the world was in a crisis like that and some random guy just shows up out of nothing and saves the world in 30 min.
He would be saving the world just as people are realizing it is in a bad spot
Lachlan Davison yep
Just waiting for an alien race to start taking turns speedrunning Earth, good ending only.
Did he even save the world? He only contained the radiance for the time being.
So, basically DMNPCs?
[Dungeons&Dragons reference]
This dude: gets dream nail in 13 minutes
Me: 18 hours, take it or leave it
Lol relatable
When I speedrun do it in 17 mins this man does it 4 mins faster and this is 1 minute slower than today's wr
i don’t get these comments. this is a speedrun why would it be even close to the time u get in ur non speedrun file
@@taffles7498 it's a joke
Got it around 40 hours on my 1st playthrough lol
It’s amazing how two years ago people knew so little of fireb0rn and now he’s one of the biggest hollow knight creators
“Why wouldn’t he talk to myla?”
Same reason why he wouldn’t talk to elderbug
*he’s heartless*
that is the only logical conclusion
He's just not human
Not *CRYSTAL* heartless
He's a pure vessel that has no feelings or emotion, just like he should be
Or mabe it wasnt on the way????
he could have done it in 5 min if he used the wayward compass
That’s a fact
True...
One of the rules says it isnt allowed
@@YituTG exactly its to overpowered.
the run is no major glitches. The wayward compass is counted as a glitch since it wasnt written in the games code and instead manifested itself within the game one day
Not only this guys nailed but he also memorized all the maps and paths. I spent more time just looking at the maps than he spent playing the whole game
"Oh, that was a mistake."
"...Wait, nope, it was intentional again."
I love it, lol. Great fun watching a speedrun reaction.
Thank you my friend. I could never be a speed runner myself but I have a healthy respect for the difficulty that is involved
MERG!!
dident see this coming!
-oh look its merg-
Hi merg I love your videos;D
Him: 7 minutes in and already finished the first hornet boss fight
Me: *nine HOURS*
He’s so good
@@RelyeaGaming yeah, it feels like its unreal at how good he is.
Ik and die primal aspid
Amateur I took 20 😎
68hrs
38:27 dealing damage to the hollow knight during that animation when they’re stabbing themselves only deals one damage, no matter what type of nail you’re using or if you’re using spells or not so thats why he took the time to heal instead of deal and extra one or two damage.
I really like how he reacts simultaneously to the video without pausing it.
Yep, this is the best for reacting, so it doesn't stop the tension.
I hate those reaction videos that react to 10 minute videos but take 40 minutes because they pause every 5 seconds
Yeah pretty great for reaction content and plus it's his first time reacting to this speedrun as it should be
he saved Zote because the vengefly king gave him a lot of geo, geo that he needed
You are correct
Naw, the power of zote took control of the knight and saved him
NOT ENOUGH GEO
@@floydgodwinalipala6449

I’m out here doing my best 😁
Agreed
"Local beetle kid enters fallen kingdom, kills its guardians and rids it of the century-old plague in half an hour"

underrated comment for sure.
*Local Void Spaz, kills 3 innocents, kills its big brother then saves the world, all 33 minutes from arriving*
Lol
Void spaz
deep fry indeed
It’s runs like these that affirm to me that speedrunning isn’t just a genre of gaming or a sport-like event.
It’s an art form, cultivated through practice and skill.
Isn't that all game genres
Ikr?? Idk how many hours this guy puts into just planning the exact most efficient route to beat the game, and how many times did he fail precising his moves to not waste any seconds🤯
And pinpoint precision
Art is creating something. I'd say it's a skill
Fireborn created a speedrun.
I am 14hrs into this game and this guy is further than I am in 14 mins.
The speedruner be like : 1 minutes here equal 1 hour on hearth
Steam : gives refunds for 24 hours
Fireb0rn: "say no more"
He was like
"Why would he save zote?"
And my brain was saying HOW ARE YOU NOT REACTING TO KILLING VENGEFLY IN HALF A SECOND?!?!?
Ye 😂
I think he saved Zote for the geo.
@@DerekMoore82 yeah vengefly king drops a huge amount of geo for like 4 seconds of effort. the geo routing is super tight, it's hard to find a more time efficient way to get some geo
Because fuck that, WHY WOULD YOU SAVE ZOTE?!
I mean, we have an answer, but still.
@@roma540 Don't worry, he will die to the spiders.
Something just occurred to me about speedruns: it gets really tense when the player gets down to one life unit (mask in this game but usually something like hearts) because you think they might be about to die. But of course, if they had died, they would just start a new speedrun attempt. So with any speedrun that has been published for general viewing, you should know that once the player gets down to one life-unit, there is no chance they will get hit again. It is like when the main character of a movie is in a threatening situation early in the movie: once you realize there is no chance they will die it really removes any tension.
it's just like JoJo: If the character's theme is playing you're ded
Yeah I knew that a video titled 'world record speed run' was going to contain a world record speed run.
Unless you're watching GoT
@@las4gna84 JOJO
The other guys is probably the exception to this rule
When you go into Dirtmouth the knight starts walking instead of running. That is why he jumps instead of walks through Dirtmouth. Jumping is faster than walking in Dirtmouth so it would cut off some time.
Got to 98% on this game in the last two days. 36 hours plus. Loved it. Seeing this was equally as impressive as it was insulting. The amount of times I died. The 1 mask anxiety. But incredible.
“I imagine it going really fast” I’m so glad Relya knows what a speedrun is
I am learning :-)
it's ok relrea :)
Truly the master of deduction 🤣
Ok
Always was a quick study
''It's not about the size of your nail, it's about how good you are at using it''
You're god damn RIGHT!
You know
I Know 👌
@Nathaniel Capitano ask sly
Take note, Heavy Sentry.
Thots:”are you sure about that?”
20:33 "That was like a thing..... that was so.. FAST!" lmao
That elderbug skip is hard to do, they did it super fast, impressive. Holy crap! Myla skip! Thats even harder!
Hi waddle dee

Haha
😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂
This one is soooo goooood lmaooo
Those morning shifts are serious business
@@RelyeaGaming Never realized you could dash while 'knocked down'. He falls so fast because the game consider that he's still prone while falling...so his weight is 3x (that's how the game think it works). BTW fast 'stone fall'.
He knew you'd be watching and saved Zote just to screw with you
He knew all along
@@RelyeaGaming nah
@@RelyeaGaming Don't worry, I'm sure he did it to get some Geo for Crossroads Stag and Shaman Stone...
@@RelyeaGaming HE DEFINITELY KNEW CAUSE HE SAVED ZOTE AND DIDNT TALK TO MYLA
😂😂😂
Honestly, I didn’t even know false knight skip before watching this and now I feel dumb for not noticing. It’s little things like this that really make me love the game because there is always something that you don’t notice on your first play through!
When he healed during the final boss it's because I'm pretty sure that all your damage during that stage of the fight is reduced to 1 when they are attacking themself
Imagine the mobility of this dude when silksong comes out and he plays as hornet
It is very bold to assume it will come out in our lifetime
But even with that, he would need to learn the new hitboxes (because hornet is taller than the knight and all of that)
@@froggerz9493 lmaoo
He will be SPEED
silksong in 2 minutes
When you realize this guy can beat the whole game faster than YOU can beat the Pantheon of Hallownest.
Ohh dang, shots fired
Oof
He can beat the whole game faster than I can beat Greenpath.
Ummm I still can’t beat pantheon of hallownest (had to take time away burnt out trying
I still can’t either 😅
19:48
"It's not about the size of your nail, it's about how good you are at using it."
-Relyea, 2019
I’m glad I’m not the only person that heard that
29:08 whis is what i actually did when i was fighting uumuu i spammed shade soul and my nail level was 3 (17 dmg) also uumuu has 300 hp and shade soul does 40 dmg but i used shaman charm so my magic dmg was doubled (4 hits with shade soul + shaman charm to defeat it)
I find it really funny how the game considers 10 hours a speedrun but then you have people out here beating it in half an hour
There is another achievement for 5hrs but still. I think they wanted the achievements to be... achievable
I did it too then... almost. Beat it in 1h and 25 min and i feel proud. Still feel pathetic when im thinking about the people that do it in 30 min.
@@kristianmalinen2378 lol I have 31 hours logged and haven't beat a dreamer
i arrived at city of tears almost 8 hours in. i dont have desolate dive nor did i take down the dreamer there.
"Its not about the size of your nail its about how good you are at using it" HMMMMM I WONDER WHAT THAT MEANS
🤔😅 🤫
Hmmm
No, it's not about how you use it. It's about
charms,
how far you've upgraded if not just upgrade your nail in the game,
masks,
Extra soul vessels,
more than a month of experience. (It took me three years to beat radiance.)
Aaaaaaaaaaaaand how you use your nail.
@Red Vega I'm a short guy ok!
I'm 5.8
@@toonlinkunknown7667 bruh
So amazing how 1) Fireb0rn became such a legend after this and 2) how optimized this run has become even since this video. So much fun to watch.
Man I wish I'd known about this game when it first came out... And thanks for the guides, Relyea. Helped a guy like me Embrace the Void!
24:27 I've come back to this video 3 times now and I always find it funny when ralyea says that firborn should be making tutorials. I wouldn't have even touched Hollow Knight or any other metroidvania if it wasn't for Ralyea.
"Come to my house"
"I can't I'm busy"
"My parents aren't home"
"25:41"
😁
👁👄👁👌
My mans even getting hit he so thirsty
1:21 They jumping in the beginning because when you are in Dirtmouth, you forced to walk, not to run
I forgot that was a thing
No running on the pavement or elderbug starts calling you out
yeah i equipped sprintmaster in dirtmouth and was pressing all the buttons because i thought there was a sprint button
I love watching your reactions. It's enjoyable to see someone in genuine disbelief.
Relya has a top G for being one of the few CZcamsrs to actually not pause every four seconds of the video
34:43 "Sorry grub, Im on a hurry"
Too much going on to worry about grubs
Pretty sure that was a grub mimic anyway :/ not sure tho
@@scratch9349 it's not
in a speedrun at games done quick, fireb0rn acknowledged this, stopping for a moment and staring at the grub before continuing the run. he even made a speedrun on his own youtube channel getting to this specific grub from the beginning of the game
38:21 : Why did he heal himself ?
Because :
Contrition: The Hollow Knight will stand in place and stab their Nail through their chest multiple times. During this move, all damage dealt to The Hollow Knight will be reduced to 1 regardless of Nail level. (Hollow Knight Wiki)
nicely done.
Still the Harakiris gets me
Like bro why a puny speedrunner got me so fast
i wonder if spikes form platforming areas will also do 1 damage.
You‘re such a humble guy
Nice to watch your reaction
Keep it up bro, you’re awesome!
"Did you do it?"
"... Yes..."
"what did It cost?"
"ignoring Elderbug"
12:57
Salubra: Oh hey- uh let me tal- uhhh so what do you wan- oh you’re gonna buy this? Great. Ok by- wait where did he go? ...Is he literally killing himself over there?
She didn't see it coming
@Ashelen PERSOOONAAAAAA
Ashelen I mean, who see it coming when they put joker in smash bros?
-3/10 didn’t talk to elder bug, didn’t even see myla, and he didn’t ascend with gorb
Or meditate with the master
Or listen to Marrisa
He didn’t talk to mila bc the heartbreak would slow him down
He didn't talk to myla because he is *heartless*
Or buy wayward compass
Now that I'm repairing my PC and can't play HK for some time... Your videos and all other great HK youtubers like Rusty...Fireb0rn...Mossbag...etc. etc. really makes my day because I just can't stop being addicted to the world of this game!
Thank you and keep it up
Me searching for the person who insulted you: No Potter here, no Potter there
I'm not a speedrunner myself but I knew just a little bit that might help to understand what's going on in the speed run. I'll notify what skips can't be done on the current patch and try to make it as open to everyone, so if there's anything that someone might not understand I'll try to include it. Note that I'm not the most trustworthy source and directly asking a speed runner is the best way to attain correct information.
1. Right at the start fireb0rn pauses the game and unpauses, and then opens the inventory, these tricks are used several times in the speedrun (Cannot be done after Lifeblood). When you pause and unpause you gain control to the Knight and can then move when you shouldn't be (While falling at the beginning and waking up beside the Seer). The inventory makes it so you drop much faster and you avoid the drop lag (The Knight crouches and you can't move for a while) allowing you to move much faster. The inventory is also used in other places, like after the Uumuu fight and about the same time he dies in Crossroads to perform the shade skip, so he can avoid knockback (I think not so clear on this one) and equip the SStone as early as possible.
2. In a lot of places the game forces the Knight to walk and move slower, by jumping you can avoid this movement penalty and move as fast as possible
3. Chinese is the fastest scrolling language, so runners just change their game language
4. He walks past the bench here, it saves automatically after the Shaman opens the door, you just need to rest on it for HP and to customize charms
5. When you go behind that block the hitbox for the vengeful spirit (fireball) messes up and pretty much kills the baldur really fast. This both saves soul and time (Cannot be done on the current patch)
6. The fireball keeps you in place in the air and has some knockback which moves you a little closer to the ledge
7. Nail does 5 dmg w/o upgrade and fireball does 15 base dmg. Moss Knight happens to have 50 health which is 3 fireballs and one nail hit. The nail hit is done as the Moss Knight comes out, and fireballs right afterwards
8. Zote is saved, this is very important for geo which is needed for a few stag stations and the Lumafly lantern. The lantern is needed because w/o it the Knight can't see the toll in the dark room needed to access Crystal Peak.
9. Explosion pogo, this skip is used to access the Mantis village as early as possible. You pogo on the projectile and then the explosion itself. (This skip can still be done on the current patch but is extremely difficult)
10. Gruz mother needs to be killed so you can buy the lantern from Sly and SStone from Salubra. This area is also so the runner can perform the shade skip into resting grounds to get the D. Nail and access to eastern City of Tears
11. Super slide, when you dash into a door as it closes the Knight moves much faster in the direction that you dashed in. (I don't know if you can do this on the current patch)
12. Activating levers from behind walls and platforms. What's happening is pretty clear in the video. (Cannot be done on current patch)
13. I still don't know why runners dash of the edge here, I think it's so the Seer appears earlier. (I don't know if you can do this on the current patch)
14. During the animation of the Knight getting up, you can bypass the fall speed limit. Basically the same thing as the inv drop (Cannot be done in the current patch)
15. A lot of what Fireb0rn does in the building above King station is just collecting geo
16. Leaving geo is just because it wastes some time to collect it all, you don't need it all anyway
17. Gonna be going through everything that happens in the Watcher's Tower. Opens the lever before going up the elevator so you don't have to wait for the door to open when you get back down. Opens lever underneath the platform, it's black here because he entered from the top, and not from the bottom door. Where you're supposed to enter.
18. In order to beat the game you either need Isma's Tear or Crystal heart is used in speedruns because it's a lot faster. It's used to enter Fog Canyon from Crossroads and Queens Garden Acid Skip (QGA). QGA, in particular, is very difficult and it's pretty much pixel perfect.
19. No idea why a save-quit to get to King Station wasn't used here someone can clarify if they know
20. Here is a really "easy-to-see" shot of look down. When you look down some doors and stag bells will activate faster. (I don't know if you can do this on the current patch)
21. You don't see Myla because you used the toll gate to get into Crystal Peak. If you want to get into Crystal Peak through the route that you see Myla you need Desolate Dive, and that takes to much time
22. Some cool platforming with the fireball knockback and going under the last platform to save some time
23. Yes they're baiting Uumuu to the center and the D. Nail is used to get max soul, this is because if you don't kill Uumuu in 2 cycles you can lose upwards of 30 seconds, so Fireb0rn does as much damage as possible whenever they get the chance
24. By taking damage here you can access the lever instantly. (Cannot be done on the current patch) I think when Fireb0rn gets hit here it's accidental
25. Apparently, the bench here does heal you, also by going into a dreamer's dream you get healed so a runner can afford a few hits here.
26. This is just going to kill HK as fast as possible
Wow! Thank you for taking the time to write this out and clarify all the spots that I had questions. You are too kind.
I did get answers for some of this already (like why zote was saved), but did not know what was patched out and what wasn’t.
That was an interesting read for sure
@@lunaArtemisOld Thanks I keep forgetting you get auto-saved outside of dreamers
Makes sense
This is perfect if someone could do timestamps for all the questions that’d be even better!
The reason he does not save-quit to the Kings Station bench is because killing a dreamer results in an automatic save at that dreamer location. Also nice to mention is that fireb0rn uses the tiniest details to speed up his run, like dashing into the slope in the room before the Kings Station bench, because slopes make you descend faster, like you're pulled down.
Grandmaster: takes damage
Me: it's nice to see that even the pros make mistakes
Grandmaster: uses the internal game mechanics to let the game put him in an impossible location
Me: clearly the only mistake was my own doubt in the grandmaster. I apologise

Take a seat, young skywalker.
Mad respect man. Hearting almost all of the comments AND responding to them while also making great content. Love you man
IMO the shade jump at salubra was the most impressive technique.
That one looked interesting
I personally find skipping the acid into Queen's gardens (QGA) as the most impressive. It's pretty much pixel perfect
The shade jump is maybe the most impressive looking, but as someone who has put too much time into this game trust me, the acid skip at queens garden is insane
@@barbedwire9975 I changed my mind both of you are right its pretty pixel perfect. I thought the shade jump was cool because he manipulated it to be in that spot. That has to be perfect every pixel.
AlexZander or AZnder obviously the shade jump is pretty impressive, but not as hard as you would think. Even I, someone who isn’t great at most of the speed run techniques, can do it. Obviously not as fast or as smooth as fireborn though
Normal people play the game for 100 hours. Guys like this play for 10,000+
I have about 120 so yeah pretty spot on
@@kulebananaman bruh I only played for 5 hours
So you didn’t finish the game?
Just watching this now... love your commentaries. Great video ❤️ and i use your tutorials a lot so 😊 thanks
love your reactions and your video's, im very happy i found your channel, keep up the good work!
Imagine Fireb0rn playing Uno...just a full hand of skips and maybe a wild card.

He’s too powerful
All +4 Wilds...
I once hit Hornet midair and defeated her.
Then she suddenly stood upside down lol.
Me too .
When i beat her for the 2nd time she sunk in the ground
Tapfever7 Gaming happened me too
Corné van der Spek did ya get kings brand?
the same happened to me! she then used her nail to leave also upside down
Watching your reaction was the best haha. Such crazy skips people have come up with for this masterpiece.
Great reaction video, man. Insane skills, If I did a speedrun, it would take a whole day. Can't wait to buy Silksong.
Fireb0rn has me like
So you're just flexing on your emojis
Ok
I Like the emojis
Relyea, what do you mean take the nail from the hollow knight? How?
The jumping in Dirtmouth keeps him running at full speed, as Dirtmouth causes you to move at a slower speed.
The reason he saved Zote was purely for the money.
This guy defeated the whole game in the time it took me to kill false knight! I know that I sucked in my first playthrough but still, damn.
I know the feeling!
The jump at 25:51 was actually an attempt at a trick called godpixel. If he actually got it he would've gone right through the enemy
I watched this reaction a year ago, and coming back to it after having practice in speedrunning is really cool
There was a Good Ending No Major Glitches run at AGDQ 2019 and they had great commentary explaining everything. One important aspect is health escalation. Everytime you get an upgrade for your nail all bosses are buffed. If you get no upgrades then the game doesn't scale up their amount of health. That's why vengeful spirit is so important and in the category I mention runners get the upgrade for it. Such upgrade does not increment health and that's why bosses die so easily. I really recommend watching that run, specially for the couch commentary.
Ohhh that is super interesting! Thanks for the tip
Oh really?! That explains a lot. I was completely mind boggled.
Then why should you even upgrade your nail anyways if the bosses get more health
@@Nalyd_VS basically to lower the difficulty of all areas
@@aldojoel4836 but the bosses stay the same difficulty?
I once tried to get the speedrun achievement. I was a minute over the mark.
Ohh no!
I beat the game in 5 hours, 11 seconds after dying over and over to the hollow knight lol. I likely won't try again!
Ohhh no! That is sooo close
My playthrough of hollow knight took 69 hours because I want to go everywhere over prepared and I'm so freaking scared of bosses
And also because after reaching the city of tears it took me a while to realize that now I can go wherever I want
@@fiendfi7119 69 hours :)
Hey Relya I might have been late to the party but I think your content is amazing on their own. With your help I managed to get through white palace, trial of the fool, NKG and also to find charms and abilities. Cannot wait for you guide on Silksong :)
It actually automatically saves you at certain benches when you walk by them; for example, it will save you at the Black Egg Temple even if you don't save at that bench
The all major glitches run is insane too
That will be fun to check out. I can’t imagine how much faster it is
Relyea Theres one that's 21:00 flat if you haven't checked one out already.
Edit: It's by a youtuber called Krythom.
I’ll have to take a look
"So I imagine he's going to go to Dirtmouth and out?"

They are fast
And planning.
"And of course he's just gonna destroy Gru's mother"
Thats all there is to it
👁👄👁
“Wow he’s really trying to get everything as quick as possible” pretty sure that’s how speedruns work
Yeaaa
Yeaaa
Yeaaa
Relyea, please, you're such s good gamer and your walkthroughs are amazing and accurate, don't say you're ashamed, this world record guy is something out of this world. I'm loving watching this with you but I'll stop when I see a place I haven't seen. I'm where I'm in the game thanks to you. Keep up the good work. A big hug for you
For a minute I thought he got the world record.....
No, that would be nuts. I’ll show you how hard these skips are in a future video
same
What? It's forbidden or someone do better ?
Fireb0rn has the record but they thought that I was the one who got the record. It’s not my record
*cries*
15:52
The character is me when I wake up on Monday mornings just sliding on the floor
Sounds about right
And here i am opening the map literally every 30 seconds.
I was like that too
Hey, just started playing Hollow Knight a few weeks ago and finished the main story line a few days ago. I just want to say that your videos are super helpful and you genuinely seem like a cool dude! I subscribed, keep rocking! :)
Wow, your reaction actually made it better and more enjoyable as compared as to watching the speedrun by itself. Nice dude
thank you :-)
25:20 There I knew you were one of the good guys.
Haha, thank tou
We killed her
@@shatteredsentient5321 wait....u WHAT
I was a new player so...I jus wanna know if u joking or not..
Love watching this one because of your commentary :D
Still one of my fav videos for the reaction and speedrun can't wait to see what tricks runners will come up with in Silksong
Dont sweat it man even if this is an old video all of your hollow knight guides for the masks and soul fragments and secrets. I just finished the game last week and you were a HUGE help thx alot man :)
Thank you for the kind words. And Happy to help! Did you go for a full 112% completion?
Am I about to watch this whole speedrun again just to see what you think about it? You bet your butt I am!
Lol. Not going to lie I was super surprised through a lot of it. It’s like they are playing a different game
@@RelyeaGaming For sure. Speedrunning is just a whole other level.
Lololol that’s so true I literally just watched it then I saw his reaction video in suggestions
love your content and reactions man keep it up
(Watching this two years later) I find it funny how in awe Relyea is about the fireball skips
I’m literally 15 hours in and I haven’t even gotten the mantis claw yet
Spoilers bro
@@heathc148 r u joking
I'm under 15 hrs and i already beat the hollow knight. Forgive me, but is this some kind of joke?
Books4ever Ever mantis claw is usually around 6h-7h on first playthrough... it doesn’t matter tho, play as fast, or in this case as slow, as you want!
Hervé Labrie-Durand yea
It's not that he sat at the bench--when the Snail Shaman locks you up, your respawn point changes to just within the area (so that you're forced to kill the big Baldur and can't get out by dying or reloading). I'm guessing that once you complete that little section, it changes your respawn point back to that bench.
This video is mad respectful to fireborn. You were humbled and vulnerable so. No shame in it. Dude was just a hater.
I love your reaction! Finished hollow Knight in 70hrs probably. Still have to beat the last pantheon.
But I am in absolute awe in face of his performance just like you are!
