[TAS] Banishing the ghosts of Hallownest 

Turning someone into a ghost specifically to banish them seems counter to what a ghost hunter would be trying to accomplish.

23:19 “The hoppers are kinda fun as we’re able to bounce underneath them and knock them up and do all sorts of fun things with them.” 🤨🤨🤨

It feels like most of this run is killing cloth :p "you see that cicada? i need to exorcise it." "Shes still alive..." "not on my watch!"

when you're 40 minutes into the run and he's only killed like 5 ghosts

I love it when TASes have commentary. The audio is a bit weird in this one. You lower the game audio whenever you're talking, but it'll spike in short gaps of you talking. I would recommend just keeping the game audio down the entire time, especially if you're going to be talking for most of the run.

"I could just do minimal movement to dodge the bees before hive knight appears but what's the fun in that?"

Man did kingdom’s edge and hornet 2, got shade cloak, and did all of queen’s gardens and the traitor lord fight. Just to kill cloth. Mad lad and a legend.

I'm sure people have asked this before, but why aren't the warrior dreams included? I get not including dream variants like NKG, Failed Champ, Soul Tyrant etc. but why not dream warriors like Markoth, Elder Hu, No Eyes etc? They're all explicitly dead before we ever meet them, so why don't the count as ghosts?

You’ve got a super relaxing voice, there’s a slight reverb to your mic that really fits the vibe of the game. I loved the commentary, this is now my favorite way to watch TASs!

not only are you an amazingly skilled TASer but your commentary is hilarious and engaging as well. great video!

this run angered every lore searcher in the community

The way you are weaving the commentary with the run is excellent. This I believe is how it should be done; and only the author of a run is so intimately familiar with the intent of each decision to make the best commentary. Oh, and I did not miss 34:51.

I can't believe I watched this whole thing for a single ghost pun (great work this was enjoyable)

Delightful as usual! The commentary made this much more interesting. If it were me, I'd ditch the audio compressor and just have the game at the low volume the whole time. It seemed a bit distracting near the start when it was fading in and out frequently. PS: Wouldn't it be Revik's death's work instead of life's? 😉

Amazing work. I really loved the commentary with the run. It made it twice as enjoyable.

Its a shame that cloth had a ghost stuck in her, at least traitor lord was kind enough to get it out so we could banish it

Been loving all the clips of this, so happy to finally be able to see the full run! Edit: Well that was fantastic to watch, didn't realize dashmaster is an S tier combat charm for TAS. Great instructive as well as humerous commentary. I'd love to see more TASes from you but I understand this must've taken well over a hundred hours (i'd love to know how much time these actually take), the hive knight fight alone looks insane. Glad to finally see something done with daan olavs itemless baldur tech. Also didn't think I'd be learning things from a TAS given its mostly all frame perfect inputs but now I know I only need to pogo the aspid once and there's actually a trans dash spot there for wingless hornet 2. Didn't know about the spots in basin either.

Me : this is a cool run “remembers Marisa exists”

This really was so much fun to watch! Awesome movement, never thought Dashmaster could be so useful in combat!

I dreamnailed the singing ghost and felt immediate regret, I didnt know what wouldve happened!

Steve fought well and died like a hero

Incredible video, entertaining commentary!

Great work. Thank you, man!

CONGRATS it’s a work of art 👨‍🍳 🤌

Охотники за привидениями. В главных ролях - Стас

Great video, very interesting category!

love a good old tas, gg well made

Awesome, love a good meme category tas

Love the video! Great work! I think you overdid the sidechaining/mastering for the audio though. Maybe just compress the vocals a bit and layer it on top next time?

Very nice, thanks for the commentary (Game audio a bit too loud compared to voice though)

These Boss fights are a thing of beauty

"The real problem here, is the ghosts." The Knight, aka Little Ghost: * NERVOUS SWEATING *

Did anyone else hear Deathtiny at 12:45? I was caught off guard by it and got a good laugh.

This is so cool

wow this tas guy that you keep talking about is really good at the game

This is a cool route

Who you gonna call?

Cool tas mann

Firstly, the commentary reminded me of fish mcmuffins' celeste tases (which is always good) secondly - if you make a mistake in a tas, shh it's rng manipulation

SOOO COOL! road to 1000 subs

Great video, really interesting and entertaining. Wish the game wasn't so incredibly loud compared to your voice though

Wonderful run! Commentated TASes are always a favorite of mine, and this was a great one with very entertaining commentary. Just to double check, 31:07 the "dancing to get bell faster" was a joke, right? Like, I had been assuming it was just to be funny, but I've heard more bizarre manips used in runs :)

I would've figured you'd be doing all the ghost bosses too

btw for the awkward wall wouldn't it have been better to wait after pogoing the enemy for some more height or is the horizontal speed too bad? what about dashing under and jumping off the floor?

Oh my heck, people are so much better at this game than I am 😂

Could you do a TAS of the isma's tear child prodigy route?

Cloth% (+ghosts)

25:58 *THE HOPPER STOPPED HOPPING!!!?!!*

Since Hornet calls the Knight a ghost, shouldn't you end the TAS with a suicide? jk, cool run

monster

40:37 funny ghost room!

Weird specific question: at 7:52-7:53, at the screen transition to the room outside the stag station. Why do you do a little hop off the starting platform rather than just falling off the side?

Ghostbusters!

This is the LuigiMansion% run for Hollow Knight lmao

Good thing you saved zote could of become a ghost

Meme cat TAS (gigachad Jarlyk)

I ain't fraid of no ghost

41:52 More like “ruined his AFTERlife’s work”!

Ghostbuster Percent

Now, you name the Glade as the most ghost infested place in Hallownest, but... What about the Abyss and the Siblings?

39:20 did last stag just say "all aboard"?

Maybe I missed it but wouldn't getting VS save time at many points?

Are Soul Tyrant, Failed Champion and Lost Kin ghosts too?

everytime they take a hit that brings them down to 1 mask before a fight i lose a bit of my sanity /lh

nice, i wonder how much time would take to make a all achievements tas, i would like to watch it someday

Why didn’t the tas jump of the platform to speed up seers arrival? Isn’t falling off a time save? Also why not use the mantis claw skip? (Having mantis hit you out of animation) I don’t know too much about 1432, so it being because of patch restrictions is my current guess but I’m not too sure.

Eric is truly the goat without him the run would be over edit: one like = one pushup

Wow, how much time does the Nail Knockback save over the run?

did the tas grab caelif orthop & fera?

I didn't see the ghost from flower quest, was he included?

Would it be faster to take 4 seconds walking to pickup the 22 geo you missed after the vengefly king rather than fighting a baulder later on

When I first read his user name I said, GARLIC?! Ohhhhh… I: Ehhh… Hi “Garlic”

Wait, can't you skip the last elevator with a glitch as speedrunners usually do? Or is it not possible in this patch?

I wonder what a Rain World TAS would look like

me at the end of the run, oh he got the key for marissa... wait no fuck not marissa

Would picking up the arcane egg and selling it to lemm be faster than Killin the gorgeous husk?

Can’t TAS do wallcling storage? I noticed it wasn’t doing it across blue lake. Or do you need claw for that to be possible?

How do you think people discovered wiggle dancing to summon a stag bell is a thing and a time save

So I watched the no commentary version first, but there were a few things that still confused me so I came back to this one only to realize that they weren't mentioned at all. -Why does the game resolution keep changing between segments? It's most noticeable after getting shade cloak. -Why does this category not include the dream warriors? Are they not ghosts? I was unaware going in that this category didn't include warrior dreams, and I even checked the category extension rules but even that wasn't clear, so it was frustrating to not know whether or not they're required until near the very end of the run. Really seems like something that should've been mentioned, especially since you fight Galien early on but only very briefly mention the essence you get from him. -Why do the platforms in Queen's Gardens keep turning black? I assume it's just a graphical error with the software but it's weird that you just never acknowledge it. And even within the commentary you mention a few things that are never explained for those who aren't already part of the speedrunning scene. -What exactly is a transdash? -Why does wiggling make the bell come up faster in King's Station? These are all ultimately pretty minor things but it just frustrates me that the commentated video doesn't explain much more than what I can already clearly see happening on screen.

I was scared when you got geo

wait what about Gorb and Xero and Markoth and No Eyes and all of those?

So im halfway through and i gotta ask - why arent you abusing wall cling storage to get around even faster?

I was confused by the lack of spells until I realized that the warrior dreams don't count and you were just killing Galien for essence.

Marissa nooooo

What about the tall sibling, the maggot and soul master?

1:04 what is this softball?

correct me if im wrong but cant you attack faster if you turn around each nail swing

Wait, what about Dartmouth ghost?

Does the traitors child not count becuase you cant dream nail?

Next up will be Grass % ?

man you really need silksong

is the spelles early bauldar even faster for tas any%

I understand the only one essence thing, but why isn’t flower quest included? I know it’s a lot considering you have to do soul master, but if cloth is included, I don’t see why traitor lords daughter wouldn’t be.

What’s TAS?

out of interest why is tasing more recent versions more unstable? i know it's something to do with unity i think but what is it specifically?

Why didn't you get vengeful spirit?

Part of me wonders why you only did Galien is he the only dream warrior that is classified as a ghost or are none of the dream warriors ghosts and he was just the fastest.

who you gonna call?

13:42 What?? How did you force the badge to just equip without an extra slot?? Is that something you can normally do?

Aren't you missing a bunch of other ghost fights Like that one guy without eyes Or the dung beetle dude
