Jarlyk | [TAS] Stay in your corner Magic Egg Guy @jarlyk | Uploaded December 2021 | Updated October 2024, 15 seconds ago.
Rework of the Soul Master second phase as part of the 0Geo TAS. Thanks to ConstructiveCynicism for the suggestion to try out these corner/wall strats. They do look suitably ridiculous for a TAS.

This was a really awkward room to TAS; not sure if this movement is optimal, but its reasonably quick.")

This is an early draft of one the segments from the next tool assisted speedrun Im working on. The goal of this run is to complete the game while minimizing the amount of time spent touching the ground. In the early game, we dont have a lot of movement options, so this entails a lot of rather goofy-looking jumping and pogoing.")

Previously, the knight had to hop to try to stay off the ground. Now, though, they can leverage the ridiculous power of dashmaster wcs to literally fly through rooms, taking advantage of pogoables as needed to stay in the air. This is one more not-step toward completing the upcoming tool-assisted speedrun for the floor is lava challenge.")

This is a snippet from the upcoming tool-assisted speedrun for Hollow Knight in the category Ghostbusters. Hornet 2 is one of the tougher fights in this run for humans, so for anyone whos struggled here, please enjoy.")

A decent first pass; should probably manip for better rng and need to learn a bit more about ideal WK techniques. Still, pretty satisfying.")

Were all ready to go fight THK, but not having geo means not being able to unlock most stag stations. Thankfully theres a free station in Resting Grounds, though its a bit of a trek to get there, with some really annoying tight hallways in City. This segment still needs some work, but were very close to the end now. Fun side note: the weird interaction at the actual station is due to the time save from load time removal; skipping the bell and stag animations by leaving the room twice saves 2.57 seconds on the load-removing timer.")

Aspids arent cooperating for the double spike, but having fun with ridiculous geo dodging.")

This incredibly awkward setup for early control on DDark actually saves almost 2 seconds since the cutscene lasts ages. There must be a better setup for this, but had to encode this video for the ridiculousness.")

Since 0Geo cant buy stags, it has to take some pretty awkward routes. This segment includes a bunch of reverse motion through Fungal, which has some interesting vertical traversal challenges. It also includes a rework of the dives while escaping Sanctum, removing the unnecessary lever and featuring even more ridiculous geo dodging than before.")

This is a segment from my upcoming tool-assisted speedrun for Hollow Knight in the category Ghostbusters. This fight takes quite a while on low equipment, but TAS has fun with the fight. In particular, it uses Dashmaster in conjunction with shade cloak as a poor mans DDark, taking advantage of the iframes to dodge the dashes without having to awkwardly jump and risk getting a parry on the portion of TLs swing that extends behind him. And, finally, were ready to banish the one ghost in the run that requires so many of the shenanigans in the route, the one ghost that we need to create ourselves in a most traitorous fashion.")

This is part of the Spelless TE TAS. On our way to get wings, we spend a few seconds to take out the Broken Vessel. With nail 2, strength and fury, TAS is doing 35 dmg per nail hit and things tend to die pretty quickly. Thankfully the trip to get here is pretty fun too.")
