Ins0mniaThe hardest part by far is the 3rd fireball. Setup: Dunk and don't hold a direction When the electricity disappears, shortly after a small bolt of lightning will shoot out at about a 1 o'clock angle (there will also be a small audio cue). You want to press right a frame or 2 before it appears. I wait out a cycle or 2 of the lightning to get a feel for the timing and then hold right. If I see I am off in my timing I just dunk again before casting to retry it up to twice. You then want to cast just under the ledge. If you are too high you will hit thorns, so it is lower than you think. From there hold right and if your timing is good you win. If your fireball height is remotely good and you dunk then you were too early, if you are knocked left you had a bad turnaround or were slightly late.
For the second fireball, if you are struggling to get the timing you can dunk, then a good jump timing is to press right and then jump a couple of frames later. I don't recommend doing this setup when you are comfortable with this part as the extra hp can be used to retry the third fb. The jump after the second fireball you want to do a split second after you land.
For the final fireball, wait out the lightning, I rush it which risks being knocked left back into the thorns. For the jump you can set yourself up by standing in the middle of the rightmost tall grass strand and then jump and press right at the same time, which makes it super lenient.

Can be done with worse gear by doing extra hits. You can do up to 3 slashes with Wanderer crest before dashing through then the rest after. In act 3 the morticians have a chance to take more hits to kill. In this case you just do the extra few hits after dashing through. With this gear and no extra hits needed it works out to a peak of about 156 rosaries per 35s, equivalent to 267 rosaries per minute or 16020 per hourHollow Knight Aluba% NMG Speedrun 7:16.84Ins0mnia2025-04-12 | Sponsored by 5 beersHollow Knight Any% NMG Speedrun 32:53 [PB]Ins0mnia2025-04-08 | 55th time's the charmHollow Knight Any% NMG Speedrun 33:06 [PB]Ins0mnia2025-04-04 | Uumuu fateHollow Knight Vsync / Low FPS Explosion Pogo tutorial (Dash only)Ins0mnia2025-03-31 | ...Hollow Knight any% NMG Speedrun 33:08 (PB)Ins0mnia2025-03-17 | Broadcasted live on Twitch -- Watch live at twitch.tv/ins0mniasrHollow Knight any% NMG Speedrun 33:17 (PB)Ins0mnia2025-03-10 | Broadcasted live on Twitch -- Watch live at twitch.tv/ins0mniasrHollow Knight any% NMG speedrun 33:30Ins0mnia2025-03-03 | ...Spinach% WR from HK8Y 1:33:49Ins0mnia2025-02-23 | Broadcasted live on Twitch -- Watch live at twitch.tv/ins0mniasrClaw, Wings, Wraiths | Love KeyIns0mnia2025-01-31 | ...Claw, Wings, FB | Love KeyIns0mnia2025-01-31 | ...Dash, Wraiths | Love keyIns0mnia2025-01-31 | ...Claw + VS / Wraiths + Spell Twister | Leftside Waterways Spike TunnelIns0mnia2025-01-31 | ...Claw + VS | Left side waterways spike tunnelIns0mnia2025-01-31 | abyss_01 This shit sucksDeepnest Fungal entry shade skip with Dash Wraiths and FireballIns0mnia2025-01-26 | fungus2_18Wings | City Gate SkipIns0mnia2024-11-07 | ...VS | Thorns of AgonyIns0mnia2024-11-06 | VS only version using shade. Inv kb cancel, a small wait and then the two jumps sets the shade up nicely. If it casts you can get as close to the thorns as you can and it can avoid the charged lumaflies, then go into the usual setup. I'm optimistic about the viability of the twister version, but this is just ass
Regarding the first fireball, I manually set myself up for the strat in the above clip to give me an extra hit to work with if something goes wrong on the shade lure or if I get clipped by the charged lumafly at the end. I use the small lump in the ground just to the right of me, making sure there is the small gap you can see in the clip
