Hollow Knight Room Randomizer Part 3 - The Steady March of Progress
300Continuing my playthrough of Room Randomizer (timestamps below) by homothety, where some genuine progression abilities are found and more areas opened, but the mantis claw, monarch wings, and town of Dirtmouth continue to elude me.
I've tried to get my map and notes updated with places I overlooked from before and included advice on missed room exits from ShaddyBadass (much thanks!). There are pauses as I glance at my notes to keep things straight, at one point quitting for a few minutes at 41:44 to have the next segments written down. Trying to keep everything noted does make this segment a bit sloppy in places (Nosk and Markoth aren't done well and the Hive pogoing that gets me killed is from inattentiveness). I end before tackling a few new open areas (such as being able to kill the elder baldur in the ancestral mound) but have a few places noted to go next.
ROOM RANDOMIZER PLAYTHROUGH:
0:56 Hello Cloth!
3:49 A more thorough look at how spotty my map looks
4:18 Lumafly Lantern found!
7:21 Kingdom's Edge breakable wall to 420 geo deposit (that dead ends, of course)
8:49 Crystal Peaks pogo (thanks to ShaddyBadass for the reminder)
9:31 Nosk
12:29 Amazing Nosk reward!
15:00 That feeling when you find a way up only to reach a dead end
19:36 At least the Beast's Den is a reliable teleport...
24:43 Crossroads "mask shard" pogo
25:43 At last, a section of Deepnest I can explore with my lantern!
28:49 Lanterns are less helpful in the White Palace
31:41 This is how not to pogo
33:08 This is not how to pogo, but better than the last time
41:44 Returning from a break (the hunt for another dark room I can explore with dash)
43:17 Finally found the proper dark room
45:00 Markoth
49:29 Getting my Seer rewards: Grimmchild and an open door!
50:31 What's behind this door? (Spoiler alert: I hate you so much Seer)
51:58 Remembering there's a normal rancid egg spot in a reachable Deepnest room
52:23 Finally! A spell! One that lets me progress!
53:06 The Greenpath in the Resting Ground's tombs
58:12 Finding Isma's Tear!
58:29 No Watcher Knights to fight?
1:04:51 Entering Crystal Peaks via Desolate Dive and Getting Fury of the Fallen
1:09:16 Totally worth it
1:12:48 I can enter the Crystalized Mound, but can't get anywhere without Mantis Claw
