Hollow Knight Part 35 started as a victory lap and somehow became the finale of Jim’s first playthrough. BeepBoopJim filed this one under “35 streams, one legitimate ending, and The Turns finally getting Jimmied.”
First, Jim took the new Coiled Nail back through parts of Hallownest that once felt terrifying. Deepnest, old map gaps, the Mask Maker, missed routes, and new benches all entered the tour. Meanwhile, the stronger Nail made several old problems feel much less threatening.
Then Jim finally found the Love Key.
Naturally, this investigation led toward the Pleasure House in the City of Tears. For scientific reasons.
Along the way, Jim found an old financial enemy. Millibelle the Banker was relaxing at the spa after disappearing with his Geo months earlier. Fortunately, Hollow Knight offers a remarkably direct dispute-resolution process.
Jim beat the money back out of her.
Repeatedly.
By the end of the collection process, nearly 20,000 Geo had returned to its rightful bug. BeepBoopJim has closed the case under “banking regulation through blunt-force auditing.”
Eventually, Jim returned to Dirtmouth and decided to investigate the endgame. He sat at the bench, adjusted his charms, and asked one extremely consequential question: “Fuck it, should I give this guy a go?”
That guy was The Hollow Knight.
At first, the fight became another learning session. Jim worked on jumps, heal windows, Sharp Shadow timing, and different charm setups. However, the attempts started looking surprisingly strong.
Then the fight changed.
The Hollow Knight began stabbing itself. The mood shifted. Jim kept pushing.
After 35 streams, The Hollow Knight went down.
The ending placed The Turns inside the Black Egg as the new Vessel, chained where the Hollow Knight had been before. Jim had no idea whether this counted as the “good” ending. However, one thing was finally clear: the first Hollow Knight playthrough had reached a real ending.
The completion screen recorded 85% completion and 146 hours, 42 minutes. Some accidental idle time lives inside that number, but BeepBoopJim refuses to audit eight months of bench activity.
Of course, Hollow Knight still has plenty left. More charms, grubs, mask shards, vessel fragments, achievements, hidden content, and other endings remain somewhere in Hallownest.
After the credits, Jim immediately consulted a lore explainer because understanding what had happened was apparently optional for the previous 35 streams. Honestly, that feels like the correct ending to this first-play journey.
Most importantly, huge thanks go to everyone who joined the run, celebrated the wins, and gave gentle hints without spoiling the experience. Thirty-five streams of getting lost, getting folded, worshipping benches, losing Geo, and slowly learning bosses finally led here.
JimTurns beat Hollow Knight.
The Turns has officially been Jimmied.
