20 Glitches That EASILY Unlock Difficult Trophies

1. Embrace The Void - Hollow Knight

Despite Hollow Knight's brutal difficulty, nobody is prepared for the Pantheon of Hallownest. For this mission, the Knight takes part in an epic gauntlet, consisting of dozens and dozens or rock-hard bosses. Only by finishing this seemingly insurmountable Pantheon will players be gifted with the Embrace the Void Trophy.

Even though some players try to manipulate invincibility frames (or i-frames) to cheese this challenge, there's an easier way (though it requires a bit of set-up). By taking advantage of certain glitches using the Dreamgate and the Crystal Heart in the Godhome, the Knight becomes immune to damage, allowing him to stroll into any of the Pantheons without a care in the world.

This bug resets upon saving so it's crucial that players beat the Hallownest immediately after becoming invulnerable. 

This exploit sounds too good to be true, so it's safe to assume Team Cherry would've patched it out ASAP. But here we are in 2026 and the invincibility glitch is still working on all systems, save for the PC. Though the Embrace the Void Trophy only seemed attainable by the most gifted players, even casuals can acquire it if they pull off this technique.
