A new Silksong True Ending speedrun WORLD RECORD!

I'm starting to think i can pull off a sub 3:30 any day. Soon!

We're starting to get really comfortable with the brutal difficulty of this run. I had very few issues in most of act 3! very proud of this one :O

Silksong True Ending/Act 3 Speedrun world record!

This run is insanely hard, since we have to do the entire game (including lategame) with 5 masks and 2 needle upgrades. What a challenge!! ahh silksong is so good!!

I can easily shave 20+ minutes from this run i think.

Still though, WOOOO!

First finished True Ending/Act 3 speedrun of mine!

What an insanely cool run honestly, and brutally difficult too! We have to do all of the Act 3 bosses with 5 masks and only two needle upgrades.... Ahh, what a challenge!

I can definitely shave an odd hour off of this probably!

I got a Silksong Any% speedrun in 1:26:20!

Currently 2nd place, with only 3 deaths in the run. I should be able to cut another 10 minutes out with a deathless run. So exciting to be part of the early speedrun push!

WR tomorrow!

There is so much love poured into every corner of Silksong. What an absolute joy to experience. And that final act! WOW WOW WOW

There is a specific important moment in Silksong that will have your jaw firmly planted on the floor.

My mind is utterly and completely blown.

Tomorrow at 12:00 UTC, the final day before Silksong, I'm doing a final All Achievements run of Hollow Knight (6+ hours long!).
I figured it a fun way to bookend this chapter!

Come tune in and simmer in the Silksong anticipation. It'll be fun methinks!
