![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() A lot of people run on 1.5 for the Dashmaster fix (which is absolutely worth it in my opinion), but some people do use 1.4, so it is ultimately up to you. The two best patches are mostly the same, but they do have some slight differences - 1.5 fixes the issue with Dashmaster that causes you to sometimes dash downwards when you want to go sideways on earlier patches (and it also just runs better/smoother), but it also removes several (fairly minor) things, including inventory hard-fall cancels, dash-off inventory drops, full HP fury, and the Crystal Guardian quick kill. (Those are really the only patches that you should run on at all, as you cannot run the category before 1.4 (Godhome needs to exist), most of the other 1.5 patches have major issues, and 1.4.2.4 is just a worse version of 1.4.3.2.) This guide will refer to all of these patches together as "1.4+". 1.5) - The most optimal patches for this category are 1.4.3.2 and 1.3, both of which are able to be played on without downpatching. Whoever is there can and will help you with whatever you need! You can always ask any questions you have on the HK speedrunning discord server (link is the little discord icon), especially in the #107-112-percent channel.A YouTube playlist containing all of the demos/examples that we made for this guide (link).This is helpful to glance at during a run to remind yourself where to go. An imgur album containing all of the maps in this guide in one place (link). ![]() You can also use a program called SplitNotes2 (link), which automatically syncs with LiveSplit to display notes for your current split.Notes are useful during runs to remind yourself what to do next (as this guide is a bit wordy). A pastebin of notes for this category (link), which should be up to date.Additionally, the first video is a tutorial on how to set up LiveSplit, OBS, and everything else you might need for speedrunning, if this is your first category. The most important skips to look at are the fireball skips and mantis pogo, as nearly everything else has a patch difference (Any% NMG is optimally run on 1.2.2.1). The best ones to watch are parts 1–3 (up to Mantis Claw), as the route diverges after that. Fireb0rn's Any% NMG video tutorial series explains some of the early-game skips in depth we highly suggest checking it out.You can find the modinstaller on the HK speedrunning discord server (link is the little discord icon). If possible, install it on a completely separate installation of the game, as no mods are allowed in runs on, including the modding API itself (with the exception of the load normalizer, which is mainly used for tournaments and runs by itself without the modding API). You are encouraged to download the debug mod to make practicing easier (save states, infinite soul and health, etc.).Splits for this category can be found here (credit to slaurent).Ends at, well, completing the run (Pantheon 5).The Grubfather visit is a two minute break.Kind of obviously the most difficult part of the run.Ends with the first three nail upgradesĪll of the hard stuff: The Colosseum, Flower Quest, White Palace, and the Pantheons.All three Dreamers are in this part - their cutscenes are really long, so you can use them as a short stretch/stand up/water break.Difficulty is varied throughout this part includes some of the harder areas (such as Queen’s Gardens and the Hive), but the boss fights aren't too bad with the equipment you have.Can be a bit confusing on where to go at timesĪ big journey around the map, clearing all of the remaining areas for completion.This part mainly consists of collecting the Grimmkin flames around the map, as well as getting the last few abilities and spells. Some of the harder fights (such as Lost Kin and Failed Champion) are here.This part is collecting most of the movement abilities and level 2 spells. The route is separated into four main parts: Huge credits and thank you to MonStahLer for making the original guide that we based this on and sharing it with us. That means that this category gets the Embrace the Void/Pantheon 5 ending, and therefore spends quite a lot of time in Godhome. All Pantheon Bosses means that you have to fight every possible boss in Godhome (including Grey Prince Zote and Absolute Radiance), but not necessarily all of the ones outside of it. This is a speedrunning guide (by artzfreak, Dyst0p, and Icefire) for the 112% APB (All Pantheon Bosses) category in Hollow Knight. ![]()
