HKSS dashless cloakless fay stichman34 2026-05-28 | For learning i used savestates. Glad to see it's possible using QOL to skip Widow Memory softlock. I redid section 0:46 to 1:21 to show you can do it with 5 masks if you do the previous secion slower, just with a tool down. The opening of the shortcut costs 1 more, so once open, remove it from cost and we have just enough, the perfect 8 even with the less efficient 5 mask route.Credits to DarkKoopatrol for finding final ascent pogos and setup for first cocoon skip in Peak_01 and for discovering Volt-pogosZinlag for showing tool pogos to meBlueRed for his compendium on most things Mt Fay relatedLunchPunchCrab for the final cocoon setupand #1 Firewood% Enjoyer for putting us up to the challenge and noting what was limited and unobtainable within this climb.
Silksong Mount Fay clawline-less west bench skip stichman34 2025-10-15 | More tech for my favourite area! This time we're able to use a tricky jump with plasmium into a dash-bind to skip needing the first cocoon, which means we can just waltz up to the second only needing to do the climb up the harsh winter mountain once! Yippee!A lot of the video has cuts to skip silk grinding and keep the pace of the video high, it's a Mount Fay video, this is pretty standard now.0:00 - Set up0:37 - First cocoon3:12 - Skipped bench5:10 - Second cocoon

Lowboss% NMG Hollow Knight Silksong 3h41m31s IGT (FormerWR) stichman34 2025-10-03 | Update: Trobbio skip has been found with warding bell by me. If this passes the NMG test then trobbio is skippable. I was already rerouting so i'm holding off on an updated run until we get an answer either way2nd Update: Trobbio skip is major. Not happy with how post mt worked out, nerves got to me in lace2 and gms. HHG done in less than 5 tries with little practice yay? At least there's a lot of room for improvement in act 2.Being done with Mt Fay in less than 2 hours though, that's joyful! Didn't need to leave to restock either so rosary routing could be fixed. Either way, it's complete, no TAS used, just ~10hours of practicing the 3 jumps in Mt Fay.Shoutouts to Cofy for showing sharpdart skip, to Ipsen's Adventures for posting about the route and aggregating the skips and to Iron Rose for showing the original skip without sharpdart.
