Let's play Hollow Knight 101 - Opening a whole new can of pain
You're a mean one, Mr. path of pain. The three words that best describe you are as follows, and I quote: "forgiving (42:22), merciful (42:30), safe (43:59)".
10:52 maybe a path of slightly less pain? 17:21 last mask (or honey crystal?). This does confirm it can only do 1 per hit (which is lame). 25:38 "it's just a soul statue". 34:25 you'd have to go through the crystal peak (crystal heart not required) or have a tram pass. Lantern recommended either way. 44:20 I start the timer after the opening topics now. 46:15 actually no it doesn't since I made progress (7 statues in). 46:52 well I didn't mean to cut of my word. lol.
Chapters: 0:00 Opening topics 10:25 Bring on the pain 12:42 Statue 2 to 3 13:44 Uneven ceiling is cheating 18:07 Statue 4 to 3 again then 5 21:18 Statue 5 to 6 25:32 Statue 6 to 7 34:39 Hang out at Statue 7
There's going to be a twist where the White Palace actually has the Pale King in it. The white washed walls are a lie.
1:12 wrong direction: I meant to press down (yes I know I just did it correctly). 2:30 smart thing would've been to enter god home and see if I can teleport out. 7:34 "they're not metroidvania but have similar combat". 16:34 I mean 100 hits since unlike Celeste I have more than 1 HP. 24:42 and yes that is possible to do since getting here only requires enough dreams. 30:23 the sound I heard was birds although they can't be seen. 32:25 wait can I fit up through that? 33:30 I think dash master charm shortens my dash so this was harder than necessary.

After All These Years, Don't Stop Believin' that this city boy can take the midnight train going anywhere. Which incidentally is the beat that will free my SOUL to get lost and drift away into demonetization.
Talking about demonetizing is a joke: I'm not actually monetized. Plus the song clip is too short and badly done so it counts as fair use.
I can only handle Deepnest for about an hour at a time. That corpse room was too intense.

Prometheus: "Scouting report: Aile is looking through a lot of boxes for first aid kits and coffee." Serpent: "That fool. Hasn't she seen Raiders of the Lost Ark? She'll be there forever."
Supercut: all of the jokes and none of the gameplay (term from Alpharad). Filler: boring gameplay (my term). Since supercuts exclude gameplay and filler jokes are just as good they're considered equal importance to regular episodes.

You don't pull the mask off that old lone ranger // And you don't mess around with Agent 4" ("You Don't Mess Around With Jim" by Jim Croce)

Agent 4: "The dualies were out of range in floaty fun."
Me: "How is it that inkling guns aren't very long range but octoling range is seemingly infinite?"

15:40 I was so focused on avoiding sprinklers that I forgot about the money which is good because I might've died for it again.
Chapters:
00:00 I count 1 chatter as a success
02:15 Sardinium acquire: 4-18 Towering Heights ˜Climb and Slide˜

In fact I'm so far ahead of what I expected that I have time I can waste getting to the cliffs.
0:13 this was based on the number of episodes. I hadn't quit the game to see my actual time. 0:26 seemed like I was far enough away but ok. 1:20 the charms I have seem pretty good (given my choices) not stalwart shell. 1:35 because I'm curious if the game won't show my percent at the end. 2:45 "wait for him to do the flame pillars so I can heal". 9:11 I'm not sure how 7 episodes + 10 min = 3h. I didn't think I paused the game that much. Maybe it also doesn't count cutscenes and loading times. Also I beat it deathless but the achievement says "steel soul mode" instead of "without dying". So I didn't get credit for the thing I earned. And actually deathless normal mode is slightly harder since you can't sell rancid eggs. So yeah the achievements should say "without dying" and could (since death autosaves anyway). 12:02 turns out the bosses alone are 2700 (2400 without zote) which is max seer so no whispering roots are needed either way. 13:00 "go fight the Brooding Mawlek". 15:27 also I'm not going to fight the nightmare king. 16:07 I came for the 2 geo caches next to the root and because I thought I needed the root. 17:16 I didn't. It somehow respawned. 23:33 behind the elevator has a soul vessel fragment. 25:01 "strength" is the other one because I don't need heart (except for %). 25:50 unlocking Jiji was just a thing to do even though it doesn't give %. 28:23 I like how the PC memorizes the rooms no matter how long after the fact. 29:28 "because I've already done all this stuff so I have nothing to say about it". 30:23 I'd need to be fast for the 100% speedrun achievement but not for the banishment and purity achievements.

19:00 Sulbra's worthless charms
22:00 The long way to the cliffs
Anguille: "Here's a chip for you." Aile: "This is a rock with screws in it." Anguille: "Well yeah. That's what a chip looks like. Every engineer knows that." Silure: "You should open the case to a desktop sometime. It's just 1 big rock with a bunch of screws."
0:13 I noticed my mic was further than usual and moved it closer. 0:52 "probably should've charged up weapons before entering". 1:34 looks like a charged element does as much as a double charged Z saber and an overdrive element regular slash does twice that. 2:54 unreachable secret door that will come up later. 5:30 I had all full weapons before as well. 9:33 was checking to see if the chain was somehow temporary. 9:49 I thought that the chain was supposed to block me both directions but I was able to go through it because of invincibility frames. It's actually a normal 1 way platform. 10:04 as in abuse i-frames to go through it but that's quitter talk. 12:34 I knew there was a thing to slow down the lava above me but didn't consider that it would be easier to get that disk later. 12:58 I'm making it harder by going for that worthless money. 17:12 I had to stop myself from naming the mysterious cyber elf from Mega man Zero (spoiler from the end of the first game). 20:00 "I was going to say clearly this is here to take me somewhere." 25:57 "using the left door" I mean which is going right not left. 27:14 I realized that I would land in the lava so instead grabbed some i-frames. 30:02 obvious parody of "A whole new world" from Disney's animated Aladin. 34:32 I actually did say it right. I thought I mistakenly said "his brother".

0:00 Slicing Flammole
2:34 Screw 1 (C) too many breakable boxes
4:38 Screw 2 (B. Or A?) just sitting there

28:27 The button! then backtracking
32:17 House with a red door and lemon tree
35:10 Screw Anguille. 5 of them
39:14 Fill subtank and read database
Hornet: "Do they watch us struggle against the bindings we place on ourselves?" Zote: "Yes but you have to kill 1,000 Zotes to impress my father." God seeker: "That still wouldn't impress me though."
0:51 I was thinking about how I may have to look into save file hacking to change my location to try to fix this. 3:20 wiki says it's the 57 precepts and I'm not going to bother counting if there's 57 of them. 6:30 I thought they were in waves and didn't want to start the next wave but they're actually a constant supply that increases over time. 6:48 the grey prince version of the bombs you can attack without triggering the explosion. 7:03 I was thinking it was the same one that would keep slamming until killed but he actually despawns up top and a new one came down. 7:26 it's funny how sometimes a Hopping Zoteling (official name: not spiders) get stuck initially. 7:35 at 42 is 6 at once and it tries to keep the types unique out of 10 types. 7:51 didn't see the bomb because of fluke zote. 7:53 don't get it back from killing zote curse. 8:47 counter and statue turn gold at 57 kills. 8:51 "I thought I saw a thing on the ceiling" but actually every spawn shows a thing. 10:24 I feel like without soul the charms weren't very useful so I might've been able to do a charm binding as well if it wasn't for brooding mawlek. 25:01 by "grub" I mean shape of unn of course. 28:15 and also no extra things added (Soul Warrior had an extra thing). Most are the exact same fight with 2 damage. 29:12 actually here's where I needed the charms: shape of unn and quick focus were critically helpful in this fight. 30:38 "it's just that it could be worse".
