About stag nest: hopefully you've already seen it (but it didn't make the cut), but if you get up the elevator - you'll see newly hatched stag egg. And the name of our stag changes from "last stag" to the "old stag". Even while Hallownest lies in ruins - there is still some hope.
I did fully explore the stag nest and find the egg! You're right about it not making the final cut haha. I didn't put the name of the achievement and the egg fact together, but I found it wholesome regardless
@@aidencalhoun4893 Yes. Among other things, he says he killed the Vengefly King you literally saved him from. Also, his self-proclaimed title is Zote the Mighty, not Zote the Great.
okay im not even 1/4ths through the video but like i couldn't keep this in anymore, YOU HAVE SO MUCH DAMN DEDICATION TO HAVE EVEN CHOSEN TO TACKLE HOLLOW KNIGHT TO 100%, the hk fandom weclomes u with the biggest arms ever bro, this is such a major achievement.
The fact that i heard "this took me 200 hours to complete" and my instant reaction was "only?" as to be surprised by the number beeing "low", that speaks on itselfe on how hard the game is, also, imo it IS impressive that it took you that long and not more
All of the people I had talked to before playing said it was like 80 hours to complete, so coming out with 150 in-game hours (50-70 of editing to get to 200+), didn't seem super impressive. You're giving me some premium gas, though!
I did play the Path of Pain! It didn't make the final cut since things were already pretty long. Grubsong, Hiveblood, and deep focus helped with the rage lol
@@oli4809 I wish I still had it, but Hollow Knight was 2 TB of footage, so I had to delete it. And all the Hollow Knight Livestreams got deleted during a channel issue in November. I've only recently started backing up old footage RIP
@morgansbasement rip I was really hoping to see you do the white palace platforming haha. Honestly though great video, you captured how I feel every time I play this game. Instant subscriber dude
The dedication and perseverance does not go unnoticed!! Absolute BANGER video🔥This looked so painful lmao. Congrats on getting one of the hardest games 100% completed, mad man! Great work🎉
Just knowing the amount of time and sanity loss you spent on this, you absolutely made a banger out of it! Been waiting for this one and you did not disappoint
One of us! One of us!! Hollow Knight still stands in my top 3 favourites (cant always put them in order 😂). Congrats on the all achievements man! Ahhh I felt the same rush and the feeling of victory again watching you beat P5.. thank you❤❤️ One game I might suggest you look into is Cup Head, no pressure🤘 amazing content as always!😘
I had to become a bug person at some point 😂 I'm glad I could bring up some nostalgia! I've been meaning to play cup head FOREVER, so it will definitely be done at some point. Great suggestion!
Oh Colosseum of fools, my biggest hurdle on my way to completion so far. I spent hours stuck on trial of fools. I feel your pain, but at the same time I'm somewhat glad to see someone else struggle on it aswell lmao. With that said, time to spend hours upon hours in pantheon, but honestly it feels less frustrating to grind. Great video bruv! It's always fun to watch someone's first playthrough of HK and compare it to my own experience!
The colosseum of fools was so annoying haha. I watched Mapocolops play it after I had beaten it, and I've genuinely never laughed so hard in my life Good luck on the pantheons! It's a wild ride, but I know you'll get it
As someone who has gone through the completion process of Hollow Knight about two or three times. I couldn't help but chuckle and nod in agreement to some things said in this video. There are some extra levels of pain you could do like fighting all the bosses in the Hall of Gods at Radiant difficulty but getting 112% along with all the achievements is a big enough triumph. Good freaking job!
The fact there’s even more to do after completing every achievement really shows just how big this game is I can’t wait for when you do a video on silksong in 54 years
As someone who just recently beat Pantheon 5 for the first time, I'm glad another video like this crossed my Suggestions list. Congrats on completing this masterpiece of a game. Now for Silksong! Man, your experiences in P5 are exactly like mine. Markoth is such a punk. But great job doing all of this!
A new Morgan video!? 😍 The perfect ending to a Sunday evening. I feel like there should be a visible thing to show your suffering for these achievements. Maybe something like a death counter would be nice. Thought that about the Sekiro video already. Hard to tell how much time you actually pour into these. Don't sell yourself short on that! 😁
I'm glad you're here for this! I had the death counter in the single achievement videos, but this one was recorded over such a long time that I forgot to keep track half way through 😂. I'll keep that in mind for the next video though!
Absolute banger of a video, wish I could watch this again without knowing what'll happen. SO, I'll try rewatching this in a year or two so I get the same experience again hopefully.
Respect the fuck outta the grind at the end. At the start it was clear you didn't play many platformers. That absolute radiance fight was clean af. Could def tell you grinddd and practiced hard. Good stuff dude.
Great job! Also, it’s kinda interesting that you refer to attacks that follow the player as “heat seeking.” I’d imagine the knight being pretty cold because he’s made of void.
The hollow knight is such a great boss because if you go directly to them, they’re a phenomenal challenge worthy of final boss, while if you intend to get the best ending, they’re a cakewalk on the way to the radiance.
I got to the Watcher Knights and after something like 20-50 attempts I gave up the game. I thought about going back, but listening to your commentary I realise that I simply don't receive any dopamine from beating hard bosses. The moments I enjoy are story beats and art design. The fighting is something I do to get to those. So I don't think I'll go back.
I think that's completely fair TBH. I always heard people talk about how the difficulty of the game was one of the best parts, but after playing through everything I can say that I was close to taking a permanent break haha. After the first 70 hours, I felt content with the game. I took a few weeks off, and when I came back the spark was there. My biggest issue was the time commitment TBH, so I can definitely see why the difficulty wouldn't give you that fulfilment considering how long it is
Just so you know, watcher knights is the hardest required boss. And before you fight it, you can get basically every upgrade available. If you do go back, getting upgraded spells, max nail, and shade cloak will trivialize the fight
It took me over 100h to fully complete the game and defeat every boss on Radiant. It was my 3rd game to 100% achivements on Steam. Huge GZ, man! This game totally deserves to 100% it!
Great video and good job getting every success ❤ 👀 but there s still a bit of content even with every success, you can give a delicate flower to godseeker and redo P5 to get a new ending, get the golden zote statue, do 57 at eternal ordeal, get the void idols... I was also surprised about the percentage of players getting the success : on Steam, Embrace the Void is at 4.9% and here it s less than 1%
TY ❤ Those particular pieces of content don't contribute to the achievements, so I passed on them. Also, I imagine things are going to be higher on steam in general since people can edit game files and such
It didn't make the cut, but I did path of pain and saw the cutscene. It's hard to fit a platforming challenge in a video that's already 50 minutes long haha
25:57 so fun fact! It's funny you mention skipping the pantheons because getting the god tuner (the item you get from the start of that dlc) counts as 1%. You didn't need to do any pantheons you could've just grabbed that item and dipped
Originally I wanted to do the speed runs, so I was going to skip the junk hep all together. By the time I reached the end I completely forgot about the tuner lol
Congrats and massive props to actually finishing all achivements, sure is no easy feat, even with guides. If you want to continue the challenge there are 2 more very secret areas (although they are no part of achivement/completion%): 1) unlock the land of storms (in godhome complete all pantheons with all bindings). 2) find the zotelings eternal ordeal (secret area in the ceiling of the training area in godhome) and try out your PB. I have about 250 hours on HK and even after finishing P5, it still took me many hours to get all bindings.
I've seen this secrets that you brought up, and getting them would be crazy! There are too many games I want to play, so I can't invest the time right now haha
@@morgansbasementunderstandable... this game really has so much depth and things to discover even over the "112% pure completion" that it really takes a very long time. Thanks again for the great video, looking forward for the video when silksong is finally released.
Might have just found one of my new favorite content creators, what a ride this video was. Now to deep dive into the hole Basement's catalogue. Keep it up! It's good stuff. Also do you stream these playthroughs? Would love to watch them live and POG out with you and chat.
Yooo I love to hear it! I'm sure you'll see that some of the older videos were a bit under produced 😂 I was on a live stream hiatus to edit, but we'll be back some time this week for communal POGS
Props to you, I didn’t beat pantheon 5 till nearly 3 years after I first played. I mean, I’m sure you can tell by my pop that I love this game, and hats off to you man. (Don’t get me started on the speed run and hunters journal)
I played Hollow Knight a lot, never got so far as you did. But watching this video gave me anxiety again. It was so stressful just watching you play whilst my own memories came back boss after boss. After you finally beat Radiance, I was so happy for you and felt really relieved even though I was just watching you play xD Such a strong game. Great Job beating it a 100%
Only 132 hours put in to beating 112% and P5 (excluding the steel soul save) is fucken insane to me I was at 380 hours before doing decent progress in P5 Excellent work sir Subbed
Oh damn, I thought I was way behind the average player TBH. The estimates I saw online said 80 hours to get through it. This is one of those games that estimates mean nothing I guess haha
hollow knight is the best game i have ever played i spent over 500 hours playing this game and i got all of the achievements and when i got the embrace the void achievement i didn’t want to leave the game i feel bad when i try to play other game instead of hollow knight there’s something magical about this game ❤❤
Man those crystal flying bugs were the most annoying part of the game, I rage quited so many times trying to pass that damn crystal cave, but damn man congrats for not going insane chasing that 100%! Awesome dedication and nice vid!
Fun fact, when the crystalized platforms go upside down, you can hit them again to turn them right side up instantly! (This fact saved my game multiple times)
Excellent video as always. Like many, I discovered you through Mein Leben and was impressed by the quality of your video and the way you narrate through it. I've now watched every video on your channel. Keep it up, love your work.
I sincerely wish you the best. The potential is here. The narration, the editing, the information, also the voice. This legitimately feels like a 200k+ channel.
The editing and narration on this were great! Congrats on 100% achievements, and almost all of them rare because ppl like me who gave up on the game lol
This is such a cool video. My favourite thing about Hollow Knight is how satisfying it is to finally defeat a boss you’ve put what feels like hundreds of attempts into. My first save file took me 70 hours and I only reached about 80% completion during that time (I kept getting lost and dying at the beginning lol) but you feel like you’ve achieved so much by the end. I can only imagine how amazing the feeling is to 112% the game and win all achievements. You’re making me want to try it out just from the look on your face at the end 😭 well done.
Bro... I got 111% completion in my first full playthrough (I only needed one more vessel fragment) and started messing around with glitches after a while since I wanted to start speedrunning the game, and ended up getting a fake bench. The screen showed the room just outside Queen's Station stag when I loaded the file, but not my character. Since I'm on PlayStation and not pc, I couldn't use the debug mod to fix it so I had to delete the file with my first completion of the game, my first clear of radiance, my first file getting past P3, and a file I put over 115 hours of grinding the game to git gud. The satisfaction of 112% was robbed from me by stupid fluffing room duping... Don't room dupe Queen's Gardens over Queen's Station stag rooms. It spawns you in thorns, and because thorns are environmental hazards, i-frames don't do fluffing anything to help you.
My guy! Been waiting on this vid! Another banger vid, worth the wait. Editing and script are clean af, definitely noticing an improvement every vid. Keep up the hard work man! 🎉
i love how all your videos are like 5k vies, 10k views, 15k, then you do hk and its 10x that amount. just amazing that this game is so beloved. its just a testament to the fact that this game is so beloved
@@morgansbasement i mean, you can see that from the advancement or achievement or whatever percentages. about .5% have achieved the p5 clear. most people would only be able to clear that hellhole in like 200 hrs. maybe 100 if theyre smallant. that means 1:200 players spent 200 hrs just to clear a game. unfortunately, im not one of them. ive spent 200ish hrs, but most of it was just walking around listening to the whole ost.
@@TheSaltyOnion I highly recommend the game, but the completion is really tough. I'm sending you boat loads of luck, and I'll see you in the next video!
I have never felt more privileged to be naturally good at a video game as now. My deaths on P5 were: To winged nosk the first time it showed up (I had it down a couple of fights later) To AbsRad the first time I fought her (cue hours upon hours of practice) To GPZ (did like 5 practice fights before going back in) To AbsRad again (noooooooooo) And then I won. PV and NKG were never really a problem 'cause I had them perfectly down by that point (having beaten NKG on radiant and PV on ascended). Markoth *was* a problem but I just brute forced through it whenever it came up and used Failed Champion to heal. Your other major challenge, the Trial of Fools, took me like 5 attempts but all in all wasn't too bad. Interestingly, 2 or 3 of those deaths were due to the God Tamer, who you didn't seem to have any trouble with.
If there's one thing I don't get tired of since I fell in love with Hollow Knight, it's watching other people going in blind and discovering it too ! Especially if they set themselves the challenge of all achievements - so this video was a pure treat =D I'm a very casual achievement hunter, and HK is definitely my pride and joy so far. =)
It took me 35 tries to beat Hornet the first times, I almost quit. When the Dreamers appeared, I realized how much bigger the story was going to be and that I loved it.
I gotchu! I originally used some super speed run guide, but after that speedrun skip to Isma's grove, I changed to this guide mid run, and it was fantastic: ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-Yl9mU9Nozoc.html I probably could've gotten steel heart + speedrun achievements if I used this from the start. TBH this is the best guide out there IMO
I don't know if you checked but there's an empty eggshell in the stag nest, that's why the achievement is called hope, because there's hope that other stags survived!
I see around 10:05 that you had thorns of agony equipped against hornet, thorns is known in the community to be a lesser value charm, it kinda locks you in place when you’re hit, burning up crucial invincible frames for our knight, obviously you got through it so congrats!! but just something I noticed!
I tried to work in a bit talking about Thorns of Agony, but it was kinda run on so I kept it out. I used that charm for like 60 hours, and I got WAY too comfortable face tanking bosses and getting damage in from thrones. It actually sand bagged me so hard lol. I wish I hadn't used it at all lmao
@@morgansbasement ya live and ya learn lol I ran it for most of the mid game before watching some @fireborn content, only thing I did not do was the final pantheon, I may have to go back for it
when i beat poh i gave up recording cause i lost so much. i finally did it and grabbed my phone and filmed the shakiest recording of the last shots at abs rad. seeing you do it gave me that same feeling. great video on my favorite game of all time.
Just subscribed been enjoying the videos dude. I love Hollow Knight played through a bunch of times. Took me a while but I finally got all achievements on my Nintendo switch. beating absolute radiance at the peak of pantheon 5 is one of my fondest gaming memories. and the whole vibe of the game is perfect its a masterpiece.
Yoo I'm glad you're enjoying the content! Doing this on switch is a larger accomplishment, absolute congratulations on that one. I'm probably gunna pick this game up on my own switch, and then work on it when I go on business trips. Thanks for the idea!
Next video: i did every boss in radiant mod. Jokes apart, really great video and i hope you are excited as we are for silksong ! Good job for what you have done :)❤ Ps: not talking about path of pain is wild too 😂
As someone who did a no hit of every boss in the game except Markoth I can confirm he is the hardest boss in the game. (if you want to fall in love with a game and suffer at the same time in this series I cant recommend Celeste enough)
I actually have a full blind playthrough of Nioh 2 on another channel haha, but it would be interesting to revisit it and do the 100% to see how the whole package holds up compared to how people remember it, myself included (if you found this channel via the other channel, then welcome!)
After finishing absolute radiance, you unlock the true final boss... Silksong waiting room I've been stuck on this fight for over 5 years, and I still can't figure out if I have the chance to beat it in my lifetime
I got the game recently, and I really appreciate the dedication you have to the game. Just thinking about even ATTEMPTING steel heart makes me shudder and shake.
