Today, we're playing Hollow Knight: Speedrunner vs. Hunters, but every collectible item in the game is randomized! It's a spoiler log randomizer, so all players are able to see the randomized item locations before playing and strategize. Can I beat a Hollow Knight randomizer while five hunters try to stop me? Let's find out.
