Current Events > I've done the Path of Pain in Hollow Knight for 6+ hours.

(+) Yeah! (+)

Still haven't finished it.

I gave up on that, was too brutal

---

I got so frustrated with area I got bored and burnt out on platformers

---

I made incremental progress just quickly enough that I couldn't stand to just give up. I've been within one sawblade of victory about four times now.

Assuming I can defeat the two guys at the end, but I don't remember them being that difficult.

Fucking. Finally. I went old school mom-bought-me-a-playstation-but-didn't-buy-me-a-memory-card and left the PS4 on rest mode for an entire day. Managed to finish the last of it in a half hour. I'm pretty sure that last hallway took more time than the rest of it combined.

Special fuck yous to:

• The ceiling bumps right at the start which would annoy the shit out of me by fucking up the crystal dash shortcut.
• The first walljump that I was attempting to skip with the crystal dash shortcut, only to be slightly too low and killing myself on the top of it.
• What has to be a single invisible pixel in between the two wall jumps I couldn't skip. The Knight would, completely at random, act like he landed on/collided with something halfway between the two walls. It fucked up my timing and rhythm every single time it happened.
• The thorns above the fifth buzzsaw. Particularly the small bit that curved downward. The invisible pixel caused the most annoying deaths, but this one was probably the most heartbreaking because I was close enough to the end to have hope.
• The last set of spikes for being on their own, making me completely unable to find the rhythm to their pattern for fucking ages.
• The music. Both for making me want to dunk my head in hot oil after seven hours and for making my speakers occasionally fuck up and crackle.
• My PS4/the game for the occasional spot of massive, massive lag.
