Who's the best Hollow Knight player? (I held a $250 Hollow Knight competition)
The Hollow-lympics was a small competition i held to celebrate Hollow Knight's 7th anniversary! The idea was for players to compete in a variety of challenges, and see who came out on top as the most well-rounded, skilled player! The results were quite fun, so I made a video out of it!
More vids coming soon i promise
00:00 - Intro
01:50 - The High Jump
05:37 - The King's Challenge
11:57 - The Test of Luck
15:07 - The Eternal Ordeal
18:39 - The Knight's Challenge
24:50 - Final Scores & Ending
If you'd like to participate and check out future stuff like this, definitely check out my Twitch stream and Discord server!

WOOOO i'm excited for this one
the god gamer!!!
Damnnnn, Fire Greatings
:D hi fireborn
:00000
:O it’s fire
Imagine being the pale king and when he throws one of his many "*failed*" attempts and just hear a fuck ton of screams that would just not stop
"No voice to cry suffering" The Knight: Are you sure about that?
@@notori-iceGuess that’s why they weren’t chosen
Thanks Blue for organising this, was very fun to play!
The god himself
God your gaming is insane and totally astonishing!
Congratulations!!! Your gameplay was amazing
GG my guy! Very well deserved victory
Congratulations! Also I love your Gamertag as I am from Dortmund ;-)
GG everyone, it was very fun to compete And thank you Blue for hosting it :) - from the luck guy
no rEpLiEs? LeT mE fIx ThAt
You should fix your audio levelling buddy :)
ok pal@@LiterallySoup
Great achievement man! Just sucks you've wasted all your future luck for a while 😂
shoutouts to blue for hosting :3
you are a god
You have hands on every finger what was that
It's the goat himself
yooooo vyper your runs were crazy
Unbelievable job! Mastering the two hardest parts of this game is an insane accomplishment!
Thanks for the competition blue!! Was super fun to grind these ‘categories’ :)
Well done.
:0
Was an absolute blast to participate in this! Was honestly very surprised I got 5th, didn't expect to get anywhere close to a prize.
Nice Job! There would’ve been no way I could competed with any of these lol :)
Just popping in to say that I am so happy for the chance that you have given us Blue. I have put an absolutely ungodly amount of hours those 4 days, it happened to pay off, but I just had lots of fun :)
i guess the White Palace speedrunner got spiked on purpose only to show he isn't a robot.
Fun fact: the Baldur spir WR was broken the other day and is now at 24 consecutive spits before spitting a Baldur!
Spoilers Scotty getting top THREE in every category is insane, absolutely dominated every category
thank you for saying spoilers I almost looked
Thanks for the spoiler warning, I clicked anyway and was still unhappy to have it spoiled
@@henryherethere there buddy, we're in the same boar
if it's spoilers then better shut up completely about it xd
@@gkoble nah its for people who already watched the video or dont care
The Pale King trying to create the perfect vessel: They need... combat, movement... glitches.... more combat... and luck
24 hour path of pain marathon (last one to die is the greatest player of all time)
Goal is most consecutive completions?
that sounds bruuutal on the fingers
14:00 ah yes, the beautiful sound of the geometry dash player in its natural habitat. Clearly the greatest achievement of the whole competition. Pretty sure Pilky grinded that for at least 10 hours lol
respect, lmao. have they ever tried full odds shiny hunting, they have the dedication
I considered entering this, but after seeing the insane feats achieved by these guys I dont feel too bad about not doing it... congrats to everyone involved tho and good vid blue! 💙
This was an absolute blast to be part of, thanks to everyone who took part in this! I fs have a new appreciation for people who make videos for a living. Thanks blue!
Amazing Watch. I can't have been the only one to find out about the breakable wall in the white palace at 10:19
White palace took me a whole week, multiple rage quits, and about 10 hours of suffering….. and you’re telling me people are out here completing it WITH PATH OF PAIN in five minutes?????
I'm watching this while on my 5th Steel Soul attempt LMAO
I feel this but though I just completed steel heart so just keep pushing.
@@SiphYT I cry every time I remember that I have every achievement except for the hunter's ones.
@@rankamoeba4979 those were indeed a struggle to get.
thanks for hosting this, super fun watch!
What a lovely video, thanks for posting! This was a super fun idea in the first place. Congrats Scotty and everyone who participated!
Man... hollow knight community is just the best. And full of crazy talented people. I've been wanting to make a hollow knight game/tournament/race thing for ages, so while I'll be probably forever stuck in planning phase because I don't have the means to turn those plans into reality, I'm happy at least someone is doing stuff like this. Congrats to all winners!
Super cool idea for a video and really well executed! The Hollow Knight community never fails to impress me, everyone did so amazing
What a creative concept ! Great video ❤
It took me way too long to figure out that the thumbnail is the Olympic rings.
Absolutely amazing video !!
Yay! New handman vid! Hoo boy!
riolu?? uh oh wirtual is gonna show up soon
i don't think it's the same riolu lol, it could be but riolu00 has a youtube channel with some hollow knight runs and judging by the "italian record" on one of his videos i think it's not the tm riolu lol
Hey, I'm the Riolu of the video. Tbh when I found out about Riolu in trackmania I was pretty angry that they put dirt in all of us Riolu enjoyers ahahah
@@riolu0037 LOL, my favourite pokemon is lucario, therefore i'm a riolu enjoyer (his evolution method is a pain in the ass tho)
You should do the eternal ordeal ost with only your voice 😂. Amazing video by the way!
This was really cool!!! What a fun idea!
THE AVERAGE IMPOSTER EDIT CREDITS YOOOOOO good shit dave
Blue is back baby
Wow, it's the 7th anniversary of Hollow Knight? I swear it feels like barely any time passed.
Cool! Keep up the good videos!
That thumbnail is ✨CLEAN✨
Hehe funny blue smiley posted :)
Woah, crazy stuff from the runners, and great editing. Also love the rings on the thumbnail lol. That being said, is there a VOD?
Nice video,Blue!💙
All trackmania people probably got surprised when riolu00 entered the competition.
for the test of luck, like 2 weeks after the competition ended the baldur wr became a 25-spit
i just got into hallow knights, ive been playing the game for about two weeks now, and WHAT DO YOU MEAN YOU COULD DEFEAT THIS GAME BLINDFOLDED
How is Scotty so consistent in everything Also how is Flukenest so consistent in being broken in every single Goddam Patch.
BABE WAKE UP BLUE JUST POSTED????
Holy cow!!! Who's that handsome gentleman that got featured on the TEO section
this was incredible!!!!
Missed the opportunity to call it the Holympics (the objectively better name)
He is alive!
One time I played the Eternal Ordeal using the Flukenest charm, and thanks to the lingering hitboxes, the game itself started to slow down and eventually crashed.
5:12 I love how the BVB changes to BTB as the name's leaving the screen. 17:24 audio messes up. Very nice.
What a fun challenge!❤
King's Challenge was so epic. I almost thought tool assist, but then was happily proven wrong. That's what it looks like when you're just that good!!
You gotta do this more often
Fun run!
its the blue man
I actually spat my drink out after he said 2-4 frame window lmao😊
Hand in hot springs was hilarious
When moving the leaderboard for the high jump competition away, BVB changed to BTB. Dunno if anyone else noticed this but I thought it was pretty funny.
Yeah Riolu doesn't remember me of a famous trackmania player. Surprised he didn't win the shriek pogo in slow motion...
I have 3 literal hours of uncut and unedited attempts only at shrogo. But I get where you are coming from ahahah
if you do something like this again some time, make sure to add an extra creativity award of some sort to increase the amoumt of crazy shit we see lol.
Got gang covered, Here's a recipe for making croissants: Ingredients: 1 ½ cups milk (lukewarm) ¼ cup brown sugar (packed) 3 ¼ teaspoon active dry yeast 3 ¼ cups all-purpose flour (up to 4 cups may be needed) 1 ½ teaspoons salt 1 ½ cups unsalted butter (cold) Instructions: In a bowl, combine the lukewarm milk, brown sugar, and active dry yeast. Let it sit for about 5 minutes until the yeast is activated and foamy. In a large mixing bowl, combine the flour and salt. Make a well in the center and pour in the yeast mixture. Mix until a dough forms. Transfer the dough to a lightly floured surface and knead for about 5 minutes until smooth and elastic. Shape the dough into a ball. Place the dough in a lightly greased bowl, cover with plastic wrap, and let it rise in a warm place for about 1 hour or until doubled in size. While the dough is rising, prepare the butter block. Place the cold unsalted butter between two sheets of parchment paper and pound it with a rolling pin until it forms a rectangle about 1/2 inch thick. Chill in the refrigerator until firm. Once the dough has doubled in size, punch it down and turn it out onto a lightly floured surface. Roll it out into a rectangle about 1/4 inch thick. Place the chilled butter block in the center of the dough rectangle. Fold the dough over the butter, sealing it completely. Roll out the dough into a long rectangle, about 1/4 inch thick. Fold the dough into thirds, like a letter. This is the first turn. Rotate the dough 90 degrees and roll it out again into a long rectangle. Fold the dough into thirds. This is the second turn. Repeat the rolling and folding process for two more turns, for a total of four turns. This will create the flaky layers in the croissants. After the final turn, wrap the dough in plastic wrap and refrigerate for at least 1 hour or overnight. Preheat the oven to 400°F (200°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper. Roll out the chilled dough into a large rectangle, about 1/4 inch thick. Cut the dough into triangles. Starting from the wide end, roll each triangle tightly towards the tip to form a croissant shape. Place the croissants on the prepared baking sheet. Let the croissants rise in a warm place for about 30 minutes or until puffy. Brush the croissants with an egg wash (1 beaten egg + 1 tablespoon water). Bake the croissants in the preheated oven for 15-20 minutes or until golden brown and flaky. Remove from the oven and let them cool on a wire rack. Enjoy your homemade croissants!

Secret ingredient just for you add fent :)@@Firethorn.gaming
The croissant kinda rose up like the Eiffer tower🗼

i was too lazy to compete this round but if you do it again, i'll be a try hard Kappa
I fucking love hollow knight
Nicee!
i love this
16:07 nothing else matters its my boy jerecracker
Wow nice video
I think zVyper could've gotten higher if they participated in the first challenge. (They might've but the video made it seem like they didn't)
I hope Riolu isn't Trackmania Riolu, an infamous cheater
Me probably (i haven't beaten p5 yet)
Me obviously ( I haven't beaten p3 yet)
Me definitely (I haven't beaten nkg yet)
Riolu00 lots of support from Italy 🇮🇹😼
DAJE ROMAAAAA
i love how they're still milking a fire 7 year old game for content and it's *STILL* entertaining
Was rooting so hard for zVpurr…you’re number 1 in my eyes 😔💪
I hope silksong is released soon there is no content left
Sounds cool. Too bad i had no clue what this is lol
Wait,is path of pain with shriek pogo faster than the torn skip thingy?
Blue is my favourite colour and youtuber
You watch great blue too?
Blue sr is s rank
Don't stress about not uploading for longer than you'd like. We're not going anywhere. : )
I just downloaded the game Any tips guys 😁 Thank you 🙏
Audio is kind of crazy this video, eh?
I just got the thumbnail
shroompog
Anyone else from the trackmania community recognize one of the names 😂😂
Riolu? (Trackmania players know)
I mean I'd assume he's smart enough to at least not use that name if he were to come in here and cheat. Idk how easy it would be to cheat anyway, given that you needed to live stream your attempts, I believe.
Ayyy it's me the Riolu involved I have tens of hours all on video in my channel if you are dubious, it was lots of fun
@@riolu0037 Fantastic showing, congrats on the 3rd place! I don't think anyone genuinely has doubts, just a funny naming coincidence.
@@DaTimmeh I would have guessed ahah. But my anxious ass wanted to be sure that nothing of this kind could have been said, hence all the uncut footage 😼
Ngl I'd say Eloki took 1st place for shriek pogos for the audacity
Coooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooool
Sorry if it's ask often but is that the same riolu from trackmania?
I don't think so, no. That would be me, a different Riolu :D
@@riolu0037 ok thank you and GG for the competition. I was asking because the other riolu is a known cheater and I didn't want him to have taken refuge in hollow knight.
Is this riolou from trackmania?
cool
My pet cactus didn't really win the zone comp cuz if u die in ur run that should disqualify you but whatev
hey don't know if you know me but i am back in the game
