I'm curious as too how long it takes to get 100% completion. Still havent fought hollow knight because im tracking down that last 3%. 1 point 2 years ago. The Hollow Knight You get this achievement for defeating the Hollow Knight without having the Void Heart equipped. Just fight the Hollow knight once you unlock the doors to the Black Egg Temple - the fight is pretty easy. Achieve 100% game completion and complete the game in less than 20 hours. Special Actions Purity After fully upgrading. Completion Cartographer Buy all of Cornifer's maps. He's pretty easy to find due to a paper trail and his humming leading to him. Even if you miss him in an area, you can go back to Dirthmouth and purchase the map you missed from Cornifer's wife. Completion Achieve 100% completion and finish the game. The things that count for 100% completion are.

Introduction
This is the speedrunning guide for the 112% All Bosses category.
All bosses means it includes all the pantheons in Godhome, which makes this quite a difficult category.
Map Reading
The route is separated to 4 parts:
Part 1 - Early Game
All the way up to Dreamgate
● Some of the harder fights and skips are here
● Geo is tight~ish
Part 2 - Grimm Troupe Fetching Quest
This part mainly consists of collecting the flames and beating Grimm
● Can be a bit confusing on where to go at times
Part 3 - Area Sweeping
With all movement abilities unlocked, this part is just clearing all the areas for completion
● Difficulty is varied throughout this part
Part 4 - End Game
All the harder stuff: Colosseum, Flower Quest, White Palace and the Pantheons.
● Actually wasting time writing you this to inform you this is the hardest part.
● Grubfather visit is a 2 minute break. Use it wisely.
Practicing & Resources
● You can find practice save files under Resources for this category (soon).
● Fireb0rn's Any% NMG guide explains some of the early skips in depth, I would really suggest checking it out: https://www.speedrun.com/hollowknight/guide/j234z
● There is a cheat info program under Resources to give yourself infinite soul and health to make practicing stuff easier.
● You can always ask questions on HK's discord server.
Important Notes
Patch - The most optimal patch for this category is 1.4.3.2.
Essence - All Dream Bosses give a total of 2700 essence, which is 300 more than required.
That means you can skip gathering the essence of a few Grave Warriors, but make sure to do so only after beating them.
Language - On Chinese / Mandarin the text boxes are much faster, so make sure to change that in the game options, once you are familiar with the dialogues of the game.
Part 1
Forgotten Crossroads + Greenpath 1
Fury of the Fallen at the start of the run:
¤Make sure to move just a tiny bit to the right after the screen transition to trigger the hardsave.
You can use FotF on False Knight and Hornet if you are comfortable on those fights to make a bit of the time loss.
