How fast can I beat the true ending of Hollow Knight? The answer is a lot more complicated than you might think.
Watch my full PB here: • Hollow Knight True End...
Thank you to Vysuals for helping with the script and the run

@@Dungeon_Dunce2011 I personally beat radiant Markoth by only damaging him with nail arts in phase 1 (no cyclone slash) and then using shade souls in phase 2. I died a lot on phase 1 just to beat him on the first attempt that ever reached phase 2. That's not the say the second phase is free, though, because his flying nails are very tricky to dodge there even when you don't have to get close to him and you cannot miss too many shade souls or else you'll run out of soul and be forced to actually approach Markoth, which will probably get you killed.

It took me like a year to beat pantheon 5 but every time I got to a boss or something I thought I'd never beat (NKG, Path of Pain), I'd eventually grind it out and overcome it. This game is super satisfying to conquer and I love seeing people get into it and fall in love with it like I have !!
