After the release of Hollow Knight: Silksong, a player known as CrankyTemplar has achieved a remarkable milestone. He managed to defeat every boss in the game without taking any damage, accomplishing this feat just a week after launch. This achievement is particularly notable given the game’s reputation for its challenging mechanics.

CrankyTemplar is not new to this kind of challenge; he has previously engaged in similar feats within the original Hollow Knight game. Shortly after Silksong’s launch, he released a no-hit compilation showcasing his skill against its early bosses.

His latest two-hour supercut demonstrates mastery as he takes on every boss without taking a hit, impressively performing this feat in such a short time frame. The level of difficulty in Silksong has been highlighted by many, making this accomplishment all the more remarkable.

Among the game’s mechanics, CrankyTemplar largely relied on the starting Hunter style for his entire run, avoiding some of the more powerful tools available. While celebrating his success, he also noted the long boss runbacks as a significant challenge, even for experienced players.

This achievement opens up discussions about the potential for new meta in speedrunning, as leaderboards for Silksong are not yet established, making CrankyTemplar’s feat a precursor to even greater challenges to come.
