SO MUCH LORE - reaction to the (mostly) complete lore of hollow knight

I've been avoiding reacting to this video because it's so tingly, here we go. If you asked me what your favorite video game is, I would say Corey in the House for the Nintendo DS, I didn't even know that. They made a DS game that I never saw the show for. I didn't like it

much

, but Hollow Knight would be a close second. Hollow Knight was released on February 24, 2017 by Team Cherry, an indie game based on the mythical land of Adelaide South. australia in the last three years

Team Cherry had one goal when creating Hollow Knight, they wanted to create a world that allowed players to

complete

ly lose themselves in exploration. We can see this. wish in the design of Hollow Knight whoa oh

complete

ly lost in exploration we can see this wish in Holland here we go it looks huge you just built to exp

lore

I see the design of that night the levels in Hollow Knight are huge with secrets and rewards hidden in every corner whether it's powerful spells, special abilities or I like the animation, no I like the art style, I don't know what to call it, but the design of the backgrounds is very fluid and there isn't

much

at least for what I am.

I'm looking at it right now, but it's something simple, it's simple and easy on the eyes. The game's navigation system requires the player to work on their map, forcing them to create a stronger mental image of the world in their head. Wait, I have to fix my light. true, I think it's better, Christopher Larkin's soundtrack and Ari Gibson's art contribute to this, as well as creating an atmosphere that the player will not want to leave, but there is an aspect of Hollow Knight that keeps people like me coming back, look at that, oh yeah, do it.

You see what I mean by backgrounds, when Super Metroid was released in 1994, it was notable for its incredible sense of immersion. Now, in 1994, I was busy not being alive, but I've watched enough YouTube video essays to know that this game was important. in case you didn't know super metroid is basically the granddaddy of all metroidvanias that's why they are called metroid venus now in super metroid there are times when i didn't understand that wait in case you didn't know super metroid is basically the granddaddy of all metroidvanias, that's why they're called metroid now in super metroid there are moments to give the player a sense of depth, basically the feeling that this world exists outside of samus's interactions with it in the room just before That diabetic crocodile that Samus can finds the corpse of a random soldier.

Its inclusion here doesn't change the gameplay at all, but rather gives the player a sense of wonder about the world they are exploring. Who was this guy? Why was he here in the first place? Did you like jazz now? Finding dead bodies and other random trash is great. I realized that I never thought about the characters in the game having a backstory. Great, well, Hollow Knight basically does the same thing a dozen times throughout his world. Construction becomes a life. kingdom you can feel the ancient history of the land when you look at ruined structures or giant barred doors nothing looks like it was put in the game randomly there is a reason for it yes I look at that and wonder how that was made What is it that, except those reasons aren't the easiest to discover?

Hall Knight's narrative is buried under layers of NPC dialogue item descriptions, story tablets, and even additional content like the fight comic and the wandering players' fan diary from these past three years. Just as much research by the Hollow Knight community to make sense of Team Cherry's sprawling world, we've even gotten to the point where people are looking at in-game signs to try to decipher Hallownest's logographic language in this video I hope toast. gives you a long, detailed look at the world of Hollow Knight exploring the history of halality and the uncertain future when I'm not busy making surprisingly accurate Super Smash Brothers roster speculation videos or insightful podcasts on beloved topics like the TV series Donkey Kong Country or whatever.

I'm usually supposed to be making videos about Hollow Knight, and while I'm an expert on Hollow Knight history, I can't confirm that every thought or theory presented in this video is completely correct. I highly recommend checking out the history section of the Hollow Knight wiki. If you want a more neutral explanation of the Hallownite story, but are too lazy to read, I suggest you sit down and order a domino pizza or just grab a block of cheese. I can take a break and enjoy the almost complete story of Hollow Knight. yes, it is a simple fact of life that every human being worships a god, be it technological ideologies or in rare cases god, as it turns out that the bugs in the nest of hell operate in much the same way, that is Pretty good from the dream-born mosque and a giant slug to the emo kids of ancient civilization who literally worshiped the dark.

There's no shortage of things to worship in the world of Hollow Knight. Our story begins with a creature very worthy of worship, a creature born from the corpse of a worm The corpse can still be found at the edge of the kingdom and is our only good glimpse of what the worms actually looked like at the time Hollow Knight takes place. I just realized I have the window open. It is suggested that there are no worms left in the world. They were incredibly. Long creatures that had few or no limbs. Another more mysterious property was that they had some kind of Persian or foresight.

Basically, they could see the future to a certain extent. It is unclear how effective this ability was considering how the entire race became extinct. small creature with tiny wings that can barely support their bodies, it must have been nice to return to this particular worm corpse. It is explained that this worm traveled through the distant mountains and wastelands beyond the sacred once it reached the worm's nest. died, except not really, inside the jaws of the corpse is a pale and broken egg from which a new form of worm emerged, a bee, okay, now I want to know how that egg got there, being of a scarce shell, this worm form is usually known as the pale king and he is the character basically responsible for everything that happens in the hollow knight king is a higher being, so the only egg is the pale king.

What I understood well is a type of creature that exists above all others and he is said to shine with a radiant appearance that harms those who look at him. The pale king's ultimate goal seemed to be in line with that of other worms. line from the cryptic lord fungus says worms attract insects until centuries pass and kingdoms fall in other words, it is simply in their nature dogs wag their tails cats bury theirs and worms put massive amounts of insects at their disposal service to form long-standing kingdoms and civilizations and here, in a far corner of the world, the pill king emerged. the corpse of his old self and began to build his eternal kingdom, the old self, the only thing that exists is this little problem, it's like people were already waiting, it was bigger, warmer, that warm, warm, warm ring, It's like a kind of reincarnation, those who live there, the area that will eventually become the most sacred was already full of mantises, it's a lot of work to build these moths, spiders, mushrooms and bush cosplayers.

Each of these groups were already operating with their own cultures and societies and each group had a different interaction with the pale king, one of the most receptive. The groups upon the arrival of the pale king were the mushrooms of the fungal waste. They are so cute. These creatures could communicate with each other through a shared mind. The mushrooms saw this shared mind as a strange piece and were somewhat satisfied. Ultimately, the mushrooms wearily accepted the rule of the pale king seeing his foresight as a shield against the dangers of the future. Another group that lives in it, so they saw it as something positive.

Their ruler in the fungal waste is the mantis tribe. Mantids have a rich cultural history dating back to long before the birth of the saints Mantids are a proud tribe that believes in the importance of demonstrating one's physical strength Mantids are fiercely territorial but will show respect to those who display great power These enthusiasts of the fight club were led by four powerful mantis lords who I guess just sat back and waited for the outsiders to challenge them. The mantis tribe had no interest in the pill king. He simply waited there, but the two communities reached a truce in exchange for their independence from the most sacred.

The mantis tribe kept the beasts from the depths. nest from invading Hallownest, I'm not sure why they didn't come out through the other exits of the deep nest, but whatever, I'm not a border patrol expert, I don't work in the ice anymore, let's move on to the deep, okay, We will look at the different tribes of Hell's nest We are kind enough to leave slats on the floor with details I quite like how the details on the wall are in the shape of an egg I don't know if that's the point because you know the egg and the beginning of the kingdom and stuff, but it's great, it's great, it details everything we need to know about them, unfortunately, the Deep Nest bugs didn't do that.

We know the Deep Nest spiders had a monarchy because why not, those are always good? Also within the depths is a separate group of spiders that migrated to the deep nests at some point in the past. This group was known as the weavers and they established their own culture and history within the defense, they used silk tool looms, wait I feel like I missed something. We know the deep nest spiders had a monarchy because why not, those are always good. Also within the depth is a separate group of spiders that migrated to the deep nest at some point in the past.

This group was known as the tissue, sometimes this is the information. I don't hear it or process it. Does that happen to you? It happens to me quite frequently. That's fine, and they establish their own culture and history within their deep nests. They use silk looms to weave stories. Spells and shields. One thing we know. The sure thing about depth is that they really didn't want anything to do with Hallownest. The struggles of the deep nest. The Hallownest relationships would become painfully clear as time went on, but for now it seems like the two remained fairly isolated from each other.

The nest before the halo includes greens, as far as we know, the fungi, mantids, and spiders in the deep nest did not worship any higher being. There is this giant mushroom corpse in the core of the mushroom, but I don't think it is a higher being. I mean, who the hell would want to worship a fat mushroom, fat slugs, that's cool? The land we know as the greenway was created by the higher being known as Oh, there's that guy who used his great mind to dream up the greenery of the greenway. In the once barren caverns, ONU's followers, the moss relatives were also born from ONU's dream, making her the creator of it.

The greenway at its peak was actually much larger than what we see in the game at one point, the greenway extending into the modern queens garden and possibly into the mist. The citizens of Canyon Greenpath proved to be a fairly developed society, building a temple in Lake UN to worship and even having their own defense line with moss knights who showed proficiency in combat using nails and shells as weapons. remain in effect even after the Pale King arrived, but it appears that they allowed the king to establish a path through his lands that would take travelers to the heart of Hallownest, hence the name Green Path.

Yes, Team Cherry really racked their brains naming this area. Then we have the bees and while we don't know how these bees can turn into drills or how they can ignore all the known laws of aviation, we do know how they reacted to the pale king, these insects, all these little dots, we're just going to look, he decided to seal his hive from the rest of the world and only patrol bees can enter and exit the hive, so yeah, bees are basically, I know some of you don't like it when I talk about the video. but only the bees seem to be struggling to fly, they are just too fluffy and finally we have the moth tribe in the game, the only moss settlement is in the rest areas, but the tri could have also inhabited the crystal beak sometime.

As we all know, moths in real life are complete, as for the moss in Hollow Knight, well it's a bit complicated, the moth race is described as a fairly pacifist group and fewThey choose to take up a weapon during the reign of the pill king, the moth. The race delved into dreams and the dead showing the importance of remembering those who have passed away, as well as learning to give shape to dreams themselves. Oh wow, they are like the wise wizards, similar to the moskin, the moth tribe was born from a higher being known as the. glow the glow is described as a light that the moth tribe basked in, so she was basically a giant lamp to them.

Another important aspect about the glow is its links to dreams and a substance known as essence. The essence is the remains of desires and dreams. They are represented in the game by these dream catcher particle effects. The essence can take the form of whispering roots and also dreamlike ghosts, which are memories that take root in the world. The glow appears to be a creature made of essence, but she is not the only one. a higher being to emit essence has green particles, the pale king has gray particles and this sexy character called grim emits fiery red particles however the glow seems to be the main god when it comes to dreams, even if other gods also dabble in the realm of dreams, returning to the moth tribe, it is their interaction with the pale king that we must discuss, basically, the moths turn their backs on the radiance completely. to worship the new light that had appeared, the light of the pale king, so yes there are also mods in this game with her tribe abandoning her, the glow became so the moths see the pale king as something positive, a memory also came forgotten, the pale king has a many loyal followers at this point it seems like a remnant of the past and something that will definitely not arise again later in this video, so the new kingdom of the pale king has been established, hello nest, but there is a aspect of hell we need. to discuss unfortunately to better understand this we are going to have to read some poetry in nature beyond they pronounce your name with reverence and regret because none contain our wild souls, but you, the challenge you faced under the palest gaze, taught that we changed the basic instincts, they were redeemed. a world that you gave to the insects and the beasts like they had never dreamed of this is from a poem titled elegy for hallowed written by modemon the master the poem appears at the beginning of each game and gives clues to what the pale king and his kingdom offered Much of the land outside Hallownest appears to be a wasteland where insects survive by instinct without the burden of the mind.

Hallelujah somehow taught these insects and tamed their savagery. Basically, the pale king changed instinct. It's like a zootopia to some of his subjects and granted them higher levels. I thought to get a better idea of ​​this, let's look at two different characters, boon and tuck, these adorable panda insects give us a clear taste of the halness effect, while both appear to be the same species of insect. Boon is as dumb as a bag of stones who struggles to chain words while Tuck speaks quite clearly, the main difference between these two characters is that while Boone lives outside the most sacred place, Tuck lives beneath the city's capital. , it basically seems that holiness is literal sacred ground that elevates the intelligence of those who dwell there. interesting because there has to be something about this that increases intelligence or cognition in animal creatures, so what is it that the pale king established a path that starts from the entrance to the kingdom at King's Pass, winding through Greenpath and the fungal waste and finally ending in the huge capital at the heart of holiness, we now know the capital city as the city of tears, but that was probably not its original name.

The rain falling on the city from the blue lake above did not begin until after the collapse of the kingdom, so unless the capital was originally named by a nervous literature student. The name City of Tears wouldn't have made much sense. The king's motivation for all this seems to have been his desire to be worshiped. The citizens of Haleness believe that the pale king created the world and everything. In it shrines to the king can be found scattered throughout the kingdom and idols of the king were created and distributed to the king's followers. Despite worship, the pale king was often kept hidden from his subjects, possibly to hide his imperfections. , I mean if you look at the size of the real pale king to his statue in the ancient basin the man is clearly overcompensating the white palace of the pale king was also built beneath the city further separating him from his subjects even further at the same time certain powers were averted in Halonest although I am not sure if the pale king had anything to do with this lifeblood, it is a blue liquid substance that leaves those who drink it with many unanswered questions, feeling refreshed, however, the use of lifeblood It was seen as taboo and those who used it.

They were demonized as heretics, the use of the soul for combat was also rejected. The soul is a kind of life force in Hollow Knight that animates the bodies of living creatures, but some characters are able to control the souls of others to conjure powerful spirits, but apart from a few. exceptions no citizen of hell should use this power however the pale king did not rule alone there was another higher being in the mix a being known as the white lady the white lady is a strange root-like being that can be found in the In the gardens of today's queen, she is encased in a strange cocoon and we know very little about her, with all the exposition we get from the pale king, there is almost nothing about the white lady, but one thing we do know is that a she likes to breed at most, the white lady often retreated to the queen's gardens, an area of ​​land once controlled by the mosque;

How exactly she walked and actually went places is a matter of tradition too deep even for my experience, the white lady is also known as a pale one. standing next to the pale king, what exactly are the pale beings? Well, we don't know for sure, but they seem to stand out even among higher beings for being even more powerful. I know it's a bit confusing, let's try to use an example. I would say that the normal higher beings are like tp-link archer c7 ac 1750 dual band wireless gigabit router while the pale beings are like the asus rt-ax-88u ax6000 which means that a gigabit wi-fi router 8x below King Hal's nest suffered a bit of industrial revolution he ordered the construction of the deer that were used to transport passengers and goods the forgotten crossings and the warehouses above the city of tears were used to store goods that traveled by these deer the king also ordered the construction of trams because literally no one is safe from the threat of automation, a tram was built between the forgotten junction and the resting place, oh that's lovely, a second train was built from the edge of the kingdom through the old basin to Deep Nest and then a third train was launched in Deep Nest. and tried to go further into the deep nest, I'm not sure how useful that would have been to the insects of Hallownest, but whatever the pale king is a smart guy, I'm not going to question it, but anyway, The Pale King's super-smart plan to build a tram in The Deep Nest ended up getting some of his tram workers killed.

The deep insects rejected the pale king's attempt to build a tram in his territory, further cementing the poor relations shared between the two groups. In addition to fast and convenient travel, regular tracks were also used for transportation. From here were born goods around the kingdom, probably one of the most important groups in Hallownest and perhaps even in all of fiction, a guild of elusive insects known simply as the Fixer Bugs who took to maintain the various signs spread across Hallownest from a repairman's diary entry. error we can glimpse their ancient and unknowable minds dear, dear diary, isn't life simply the most beautiful thing? fix signs fix poles let them break I say I'm a better fixer for all that fixing sometimes I doubt there's a single bug in all of Hollownest, happier than me Another example of the pale king's expanding infrastructure is the crystal spike.

This area is filled with crystals that grow rapidly along the walls, ceilings and even certain insects, these crystals were considered valuable to the insects of Hallownest, resulting in large scale attacks. Mining efforts We don't actually see the crystals used anywhere else in Hallownest, but they are said to contain some kind of energy. It is also said that crystals sing if you listen very carefully in military terms. Howlana's first line of defense appeared to be a group known simply as the Five Great Knights. The members of this esteemed coalition were Ogram Hagamal Zamir Draya and Isma. Because they are so important, most of the information about these knights has been lost to time.

Ogram is the knight we know the most as he is one of the few knights who were still alive during the events of the ogre game expressed great loyalty towards the king and perhaps it had something to do with Isma, but we don't really know what hegemol was. known for his sense of humor and his soft-spoken voice but at the same time he was also dumb thick mysterious samir came to holland us from a serene land what does that mean i don't know what it means bringing with him a collection of delicate flowers looks like hair she also got into in a relationship with a mantis, but not just any mantis, daughter of one of the mantis lords, so yeah, it seems like these big nights were killing in more ways than one, all we really know about draya is that she She was fierce, loving and wise, when it came to isma.

She was described as kind, she also appears to be some kind of strange plant life form, but there is no information about where she is from or what her powers were. The five great knights played a major role in the champions called the knotted grove and the battle of the blackworm we have no idea what these events were or how they affected hallownest but they sound good anyway we don't know we don't know how they impacted hollownest oh my goodness, during the Hellenistic reign there was another strange area that seemed to exist. Apart from the rule of the pale king carved from the corpse of an ancient insect, an area called the coliseum of fools was built and was a destination for warriors from outside the sacred.

The sole purpose of fighting in the colosseum seemed to be simply glory with a mysterious figure known as the lord overseeing the combat, we don't know if the high scene was constructed or if the pale king was involved, but one of his servants, the stalker pale, became a champion in the coliseum, perhaps to indicate the king's approval and eventually there were the royal canals where the fecal excrement of the kingdom was washed away into the fungal waste this area saw the emergence of a species of creatures resembling parasites called flukes the flukes spawned from the fluke a giant monster with cavities in which smaller flukes live There really isn't much history involved with flukes, but I should point out that flukes arm is canonically a MILF, so it's not even It is debatable, the sky is blue, two plus two equals four and we all want this and so on.

This was the Kingdom of Hell's Nest at its peak. Halnis was a vast kingdom connected by a network of tram stations and deer. The Halonus bugs mourned their dead in the resting grounds. They engaged in trade using Geo, the de facto currency. of the region and a prosperous capital located in the middle of the kingdom, the pale king had managed to create a full-fledged society, but we all know that there are dangers in living in a society, as a suspiciously informed hunter points out in his diary, the king pale had created a population of weak and pathetic Creatures, the Howliness insects did not hunt for their own food and had become complacent with their comfort, their instincts no longer exist, it is even more obvious in the east wing of the capital, these greedy members of Halness's high society became complete cowards.

Obsessed with riches and excess of wealth, the midlife insects looked very different from the instinctive simpletons they once were, their savagery had been replaced by intelligence and through that intellect they gave the pale king the devotion and the service he desired, and while there were some inconveniences along the way they were bright times for the king and his subjects resting on the threshold of the most sacred is a strange tablet that proclaims that hell is the last and only civilization to which call helenest an eternal kingdom this seems to have been that of the pale king The goal of the Hellenist was to face a wasted world as the final beacon for civilization and that was the ultimate folly of the pale king to think that he could succeed where so many others hadfailed long before the pale kings or the barry bensons of the world the earth. of Halonus was controlled by an ancient cast, hints of halal history are scattered throughout the land, okay, we'll finish this point and then I'll take a break, the most notable examples being soul totems and arcane eggs, a sect of these ancient insects.

He did not worship a god like the Pale King or any lord, but rather a dark and mysterious substance known as the Void. This former cast also once attempted to claim the entire land of Hallownest, but they too failed in their quest to conquer it all. most sacred, the pale king had created an enemy, an enemy long forgotten, an enemy that was about to be remembered. Oh, okay, I'm going to go take a nap and then I'll be right back. Okay, we're back and that was longer than me. It was expected to have been mentioned earlier that the moth tribe completely forgot about the glow to worship the pale king, but that's not entirely true.

Memories of her still lingered and the quiet whispers of faith kept the glow alive at the top of the crystal peak, a place. Known as the crown of holiness, you can find a strange collection of glyphs that join these glyphs and there is a statue of the radiance that presides over the kingdom. Below this ancient summit is the sanctuary of the soul left to the radiance, this was built to maintain the memory of the living glow the light of the glow began to appear in the dreams of the holiest citizens this life manifested itself in an infection that devastated the tunnels of the kingdom the infected would fall into a deep sleep and awaken with broken minds some of the insects minors tried to resist the light glare which only resulted in them being consumed even more so many infected bones lost their will and began attacking insects that were not infected the infection also twisted the bodies of I love the light humor and the editing I think it's incredible that toasts cause They swelled and occasionally developed orange cysts on their bodies.

For many victims, they returned to their basic instincts and carried out the duties they once fulfilled in life, but now, as mindless slaves, those trapped in the infection were bound to that, that's a lot. Sadder, I thought they were going to be like free insects, but no, they still have to work. The glow is the hive mind that allows you to control your body. I guess it's like I don't know if you want to rethink it, it's better because now they're doing it but they don't know they're doing it right so they don't really have to suffer bodies if they have to since the infection spread among the holiest, many groups sought solutions to To fight against the light of the glare, the gates of the city of tears were closed and in an attempt to prevent the infection from reaching the city, the waves of deer were also closed at some point and many of the deer eventually became extinct, but some took more proactive efforts against After the infection, the scholars of the soul shrine decided to harness the power of the soul in an attempt to combat the infection.

This resulted in the death of hundreds of insects whose souls were sucked out and injected into the bodies of the scholars. His goal was to achieve something. kind of pure focus that would somehow protect them from the plagues of the mind the leader of the scholars the master of the soul was driven mad by the sheer power of the soul always the insects failed to avoid the infection but hey, at least they were carried away with them to as many innocent people as them. Could the mantis tribe show a stronger will than the common insect and was able to avoid infection?

However, one of the four mantis lords turned against his sisters. He and his followers accepted the infection willingly, as it gave them more strength and courage at some point. During all of this, Mr. Traitor and his followers were, oh, email, let me get that out of the way. He is fine, exiled from the mantis village and finally settled in the queen's gardens. The businessman's daughter ended up dying at some point. This is the same mantis who was in a relationship with zamir one of the big five knights but the mantises rejected their union because zamir is an outsider, this type of prejudice is very familiar and it honestly makes me think that with the big five gentlemen it is completely useless to fight against the Infection, the pill king devised his own plan, a plan involving a foreign substance known as a void, as I mentioned earlier.

The bail king's white palace was built in an area called ancient basin, but his castle wasn't the only thing worth mentioning down there. of the ancient basin was the entrance to a well known as the abyss within the abyss there was a lake composed of emptiness the pale king realized that this emptiness could be given form, as evidenced by a footprint so deep within the abyss possibly left there by the ancient civilization that preceded the sacred why it was just left there I guess it's better to leave it there than to turn it into something right like taking shape because once it takes shape it's like maybe unstoppable the pale king devised a workshop in his palace where he placed voids into armor imbued with soul creating servants known as king molds and wing molds, reminds me of the lord of the rings creating the soldiers, these void creatures were somehow imprinted with the king's wish pale to be served, it is not clear when the pale king began.

In making these creatures, there is evidence implying that even common insects were aware of the king's molds, but the point is that the pale king turned to the void to create another creature that he believed could contain the radiance and its infection. . He tried to create a The glow of the pure vessel is here and needs its host, why is everyone so obsessed with being pure to enslave it? a pure vessel would be a creature made of void designed to lack those characteristics. The Pale King believed that by harnessing the vacuum within a pure vessel he would be able to stop the infection and maintain halinus eternally, but his method of creating the so-called pure vessel was incredibly cruel.

This is where the white lady and her King Kong-sized libido come into play, these two superior beings engaging in a union of some. type that resulted in the creation of several eggs that were thrown into the abyss there the void seeped into these eggs corrupting the offspring of the pale king and the white lady this act resulted in the creation of the vessels the vessels are not technically considered living, They are shells created from the pale king and the white queen that have been filled with a void inside each vessel is a shadow, a void completely hidden behind the face of the vessel, the vessels also have no gender, I guess because they are dead or something yeah, I'm not sure if that's how it works, but whatever it is, I'm just not an expert at this kind of thing, I don't work on ice anymore.

Thousands of vessels were created during this process, but only one was chosen. As a pure vessel, this particular vessel chosen by the pale king was considered the hollow knight and was brought to the white palace, but I want to take a closer look at this part of the story. There are a number of questions and theories. Around this moment, what I really want to delve into is the big question surrounding this moment is why the hollow knight was chosen over any other vessel. A common theory is that the pale king took these vessels back to the white palace and is fine, looking at this background again.

He is simply beautiful. He evaluated them using his giant collection of circular saws. This theory is, I mean bursting saws, they look like bubbles, they look like bubbles. I'll leave it at that, probably the least likely explanation, it exists only to explain the hum. saws, which is quite a mystery I admit, but it doesn't really fit very well with vessels, how does being good at super meat prove that you're a worthy vessel and, while you're thinking about logistics in a game about magical insects Is it ever a problem? Good idea, how exactly did the pale king transfer these thousands of vessels to his palace without characters like the dung defender finding out?

This means that the pale king probably made his decision without taking any of the vessels from the abyss, so how did the pale king do it? King make the evaluation of him. I think the best explanation comes from a theory I originally heard from a user named Golden Flower Fan. Basically, the vessels were born at the bottom of the abyss and the first to reach the top was chosen by the pale ones. king oh I remember this whoa that is a very good theory good job this event we see vessels falling from above into the abyss perhaps these vessels were not being thrown into the abyss but fell while trying to escape from it the tablet of tradition out of the abyss seems to support this theory, it says that our pure vessel has ascended beyond and only the debris and regret of its creation is found, we will no longer enter that place.

This tablet was probably written just after the hollow knight was chosen, considering that is the case. when the entrance to the abyss was sealed, the tablet proclaims that the pure vessel has ascended or, in other words, emerged from the abyss and, although the cut content should never be considered canon, I would just like to point out that an earlier version of this tablet found in The game code was even more explicit about this, reading from the bottom: Our pure vessel has ascended, but how did reaching the top of the abyss first prove that the hollow knight is somehow a perfectly hollow vessel?

Well, I think this whole concept might be just a misconception, what if the gentleman in the hall was no different from the other vessels? All the vessels were made in exactly the same way, after all, the idea that the hollow knight was somehow hollower than the other vessels comes from the fact that there were so many vessels created in the first place if they only needed one, So why create so many? I mean, this is like an octomam on steroids. Well, we're talking about mistakes, so it would make sense for multiple offspring to come from one egg. and it might have been a precaution to produce several containers in the hope that at least one could escape successfully because if you only have one, if you put all your eggs in one basket then they will be fine, but maybe I could have had one that was like chef's kiss, I don't know, escaping the abyss, just another explanation could be that the pale king just found other vessels that reached the top first after determining that they weren't hollow, which would better explain why.

So many were created, perhaps ultimately the exact details are not very important, but I find it interesting how many different interpretations can be drawn from this part of the story after the hollow knight was chosen, the pale king sealed the door into the abyss leaving the discarded vessels to rot in the darkness these actions were not taken lightly by the pale king or the white lady both participants expressed shame for what they did but saw no other option to save the kingdom but the vessels were not the only poor sap sealed In the abyss there is also a lighthouse that was built on top of a naturally formed spire.

Its light shines upon an ocean of abyss below. Inside was one of the pale king's royal servants who was left in charge of keeping the lighthouse lit, so brave this one. His soul was willingly sealed in a dark and dangerous tomb for the rest of his life just so he couldn't pull a lever properly, at least he lived with purpose with the chasm sealed and the hollow knight chosen. The pale king's plan was beginning to come together. The hollow knight was raised in primary trained form, causing it to grow several times its original size. We don't know exactly why this happened, but I assume the gentleman in the hall is just a cultivator, not a shower.

We know that the gentleman in the salon was trained to use. a nail, but why was this necessary? One possible explanation is that the hollow knight needed to protect himself in case an intruder tried to kill him. You know, yeah, maybe the player likes it or maybe this was important in the process of containing the glare, unfortunately the details. This is never fully explained. The hollow knight could have somehow focused the glow within himself, but Team Cherry gives us no explanation as to how that could have worked, but it still wasn't enough for the pale king.

Additional seals were needed to protect the hollow knight's physical body while the radiance was trapped within him. To accomplish this, the pale king sought the help of three particular insects who would later be known as the lurie dreamers and the modem watcher of the teacher and hera the beast laureen is definitely the clock her teachers he lived in the watcher tower in the city of tears from there lurian watched the city with his telescope my dog ​​is by my side she is looking at me look at this and she just me look like what are you doing?

They picked her up so she won't stay here for long, but that's theMiss Macy. Yes, do you want to say hello? No. Okay, this building is located on the outskirts of the city and is the setting for one of the strangest bosses in the game, the Collector. It is an empty construction that appears to have been made from the same mold used to create the king's molds, but the collector is unique because well, no, my God, it is naked, the collector stayed and the tower of love, what is that? voice? I know that voice that I don't know what it is, although it was a noble insect that probably owned the establishment in the tower.

Various insects can be found captured in jars, implying that these two were tasked with collecting these creatures, however, the collector somehow became obsessed with the larvae by creating a map to keep track of the larvae he captured in jars. , in addition to maintaining a strange sanctuary that exhibited a larva in the style of the Vitruvian man. Finally, the insect that was left with the collector decided to lock him inside the tower of love and fled to the queen's gardens, where he probably died due to overexposure to vacuum despite being locked in the tower. The hunter still sees the collector at some point, meaning this only happened recently.

What is obviously made of teeth, but what is the body? Are they bones or? or flowers or something or the hunter has been farting in Halonest for a long time, we have no idea what these creatures were trying to do, it is implied that the collector was trying to preserve the creatures from the hell nest, such trying to protect them from the spread of the infection, but we don't know where the Collector's obsession with the grunt originated and although Larian seems to be connected to all of this, we don't know how involved he was in this operation or what exactly his ultimate goal was. . the teacher lived in the teacher's archives a library built on a lake of ash jellyfish fog canyon the lower half of her body is made up of tentacles, making her a popular subject for the thriving Hollow Knight r34 community not even I think I want to know the cannon as a whole is also full of these strange metroid imitations.

These creatures are probably related to monomon in some way. They could be his living descendants, his test tube babies, or possibly even his moldamon uses futuristic things to store information about Halonest. Various terminals. I think I'm seeing this. It's been a long time because I've had this open for a while all day and it's tiring my computer a little so I'm hoping the black flicker doesn't happen. He would go into detail about the pale king's plan to defeat the glow indicating that multumon had intimate knowledge of what he was participating in, people like to draw, that king sought help from the hair of the beast, the queen of the deep , always fill your boat now, as I mentioned before, relations between Halonus and the deep nest were not very good, unlike the other two dreamers, Hera needed to be convinced to help the pale king, Hera would eventually agree to become a dreamer in exchange of a boy, the pale king agreed and the two engaged in some flirting which is a fancy way of saying they were totally screwed.

The white lady was okay with this arrangement, in fact, she could have been watching from the closet, the reason behind Hera's request is not elaborate, she could have been watching it aged in Italian, which is a fancy way of saying that They were totally screwed, the white lady was fine. with this arrangement in fact she could have been watching from the closet the reason behind no search is never explained but don't do that its not okay she was dead at this point hera was unless all parties are according to that.common insect, so perhaps she wanted the pale seed of the pale king so that her son could be of high birth.

The deal between Hera and the pale king resulted in the birth of Hornet. She became known as the Gender Girl because, unlike the Pale King's other children, Hornet was not hollowed out by the abyss, Hair and the Hornet spent little time together as Hera had to keep her end of the bargain and thus the three dreamers rested through their actions. A seal was placed over the black egg prohibiting entry into the chamber. These streamers also had their own protection at the base of the Lyrian spire. The observing knights guarded access to their masks. It seems as if the body of the little chubby saint Motomon was protected by a giant jellyfish called Umu.

On top of this, Modomon entrusted him with a mask. to her servant Quirrell which would be necessary to break an additional seal she had placed on herself, so she basically double-wraps herself, since in Hera's case, we're not really sure what protected her, since she never seen in the game, we don't know where this creature is. hidden, but whoever it is, he really sucks at his job now there appears to be one more element to the pale king's plan involving the weavers hiding in the weaver's den it is an incomplete binding seal silk weaving this design features prominently the head of the hollow knight and can be found in the white palace, as well as blocking the exit during the night hall fight.

Silk spools created by the weavers can be found at the deer station in the deep nest, as well as at the deer station next to the white palace. These reels can also be found. It can be found in the Pale King's workshop. We know that the weavers were closely tied to Hera and Hornet, so their actions could have been part of the deal between the pale king and Hera. Once the hollow knight was ready, the glow was somehow channeled into the vessel. which was then placed inside a giant black egg located at the forgotten crossroads where the black came from.

They may have already said this, but I missed it, so in the hollow knight it seems to be formed from the void. The gentleman in the hall was chained. and the entrance to the black egg was closed behind a power that appears not to have initially this intricate plan actually worked and the infection was successfully contained monuments to the hollow knight and the dreamers were erected in the city of tears and rest grounds, but this is the part of the story where things get a little confusing when these statues were built, the citizens had started writing on parchment woven from spider silk which was destroyed when water started falling on the city, ah, we do not know.

To know how long the knight in the hall was able to completely contain the infection the earth mouth insects used to go to the black egg temple to pray saying that they felt at peace within the walls but after a while they stopped going perhaps indicating that The infection was beginning to escape again, the infectious air continued to seep through the howls for years and eventually reached even the deepest parts of the kingdom, as it turns out that the pale king's pure vessel was not so pure after all the night had been clouded by an instilled idea.

While the game never explicitly tells us what that idea was, it does strongly hint at what might be hidden in the white palace. It's a flashback that shows the Hollow Knight and the Pale King sharing a moment where the Hollow Knight might have developed a paternal bond with the Pale King and who could blame him, the Pill King is a great father after all, since You know, if you ignore infanticide, okay, remember those mushrooms of ignorance, well, it turns out that their trust in the pill king was a complete mistake that my shared one is not. looks too good now he's in the core of the fungus the corpse of a giant fungus lies dormant his final thoughts were pale worm how good to see an inevitable demise this could imply that the pale king always knew his kingdom was doomed all he could do was to delay the inevitable, this is probably the moment when halenist, as it was once completely collapsed, the hollow knight had not completely stopped the infection and while it may have taken a while it finally lowered the halness, it is at this point that the characters and areas begin to look so similar we know them in the game when it became clear that the knight of the hall was not able to contain the glow the pale king resorted to his final plan this should have been a television show or a movie he would have completely seen this is intense he was away hiding his white palace when it became clear that the knight of the hall was not able to contain the glare, the pale king resorted to his final plan and left, he simply hid his white palace and his pale court in the dream world at this point. of the furniture in the palace were covered under white sheets similar to how people in the real world cover their furniture during long trips oh, he is awake with thorns and saws similar to how people in the real world cover their houses with thorns and friends It is curious that the pale king eventually passed away while sitting on his throne in the white palace.

There is no confirmation as to why he killed him, but there are some things to consider. The throne room is incredibly dark compared to the rest of the palace and the particle effects. and the environmental track in this room are identical to those in the abyss. All the king molds surrounding the pale king are dead. The old basin has also been stained with the presence of the void, as it can be seen as high as the rickety elevator shaft. Driving back to town, he remembers that bug that was sealed in the abyss to make sure the lighthouse wasn't out.

Well, the headlight was off. I guess that whole living with purpose thing is nonsense, after all, it seems like the Sea of ​​void actually convinced this bug to betray his king and shut down the white house. Now I know we have exactly one job. How conscious is the void? Is the void capable of thinking for itself? Can you form strategies? Do you organize a podcast well? For this chozo statue, the void is powerful but not unified, so while it may punch things that come at it or scream in unison to turn off a light, it is not a single sentient being that returns to the king. pale, one could argue that the void could have played a role in his ultimate demise and I have defended that view in the past, but we have to remember that there is not enough evidence to know for sure as an expert attorney and good friend of mine, johnny cochran once.

He said that any evidence that the void was involved in the death of the pale king is circumstantial my name is johnny cochran just above the white palace the bugs in the city of tears weren't faring much better even if we ignore the fact that the infection was still present There were other problems that helped lead to the fall of the city due to the sealing of the gates, some insects resorted to cannibalism to avoid starvation and there is also that metric ton of corpses lining the walls of the soul sanctuary When all was said and done, the only Citizen left standing is the eternal Emilita who just laughs about it as if she were a Dark Souls character.

She decided to tie herself up to prevent him from spreading her seed. She's going to help herself, oh my God, girl, this is because of the shame. She feels that by helping the Pale King create the vessels, but honestly, it's probably just her problem, the White Lady also diminished her power, possibly as a way to keep herself hidden from unwanted visitors outside the cocoon of she. Drya stood guard protecting her queen from the violent Drya traitor mantises. eventually gets killed by these bugs which is actually pretty pathetic if you think about it, I mean we're talking like the netgear wpn824n n150 wireless router, pathetic talking about big gentlemen that look like the router I have, let's move on to hegemon Hacem.

Will held the city crest a key used to open one of the gates to the city of tears at some point the hegemon's armor was stolen by a worm now worms were generally looked down upon and forced to do menial jobs they were incredibly weak and basically deserved all the discrimination they received, but this worm decided to change course and stole Hegemol's shell so he could defend his oppressed brothers. His actions were not motivated by the infection, but were a result of how hierarchical caste systems probably should be. I asked in advance before: what do these pictures look like in the game or are these drawings from other people?

I hope that they are actually the images in the game that will always lead to the revolution of the working class and that true freedom can only be achieved. I know that's how it is. No, capitalism is bad, subscribe to my patreon. The ogre moved to Royal Waterways and began living, renaming himself Dung Defender. Now I love to wallow and, as much as anyone, we would love to be able to live with coincidences. The Dung Defender maintained an unwavering sense of duty and loyalty towards the king and a love for his fellow knights to such an extent that he made themstatues, what a cute ogram acted like the pipes and the grove of isma, a section of royalty every time they say isma.

I think of Isma full of acid and in the middle of everything rests Isma's corpse that has been overtaken by plant life. Isma is likely responsible for this acid plague, but we have no idea what happened to her hornet, her whereabouts during this time are quite clear. mysterious, we know that she left the deep nest and did not return until the events of the game, at some point she dedicated herself to protecting the howls of intruding warriors as well as the discarded shell, she is probably very fast despite the kingdom's problems in Overall, fortunately this fate did not befall one of the fandom's favorite characters.

The Fixer Bugs continued to fix the broken signs and weight poles. I like music easily. In one diary entry we can see that one particular Fixer Bug had Found on the verge of a long, loving relationship but that could be the music the game has for them I don't know Hello again Diary It's not long until the next minder party for a sneaky guy We're a wild bunch when we get together and minderberry kept showing me that smile it might be time to gather courage and act on it. I love my home and my life, but sharing them with another person.

Why that would be the berry on top. Greenpath also underwent some changes during this time. The moss relatives were waiting for the call from the UN. would return them to the dream they were originally born in oh, that's a butterfly for some reason the lack of strength deteriorated we don't know why this happened exactly it was because the white lady claimed part of her kingdom it was somehow because of the infection of some mosques I can believe that he hid, but it seems that he is actually calling his children. How is there so much backstory to this?

It's written? Is it in similar story mode or something? If the mosque cannot hear or call. Instead, many mosques appear to have absorbed the glow infection into their leaves, which could explain why the green bath became overgrown with vegetation despite the deterioration of UN powers. The moss-covered wanderers even openly chose to abandon and worship the glow. Another tribe that will be ruined by the glow is the Hive that fell infected after the death of their leader, Queen Vespa, but it seems this had little effect on their civilization. I think the higher mind of the radiance was already familiar to the bees, as the hive probably operated under something similar.

In other words, the hive was probably the best in this whole situation, let's turn our attention to the moths, after all, it is Its god who keeps killing everyone. Well, the monster. Actually, it didn't go very well for me, since almost the entire tribe became extinct. The known survivor is the seer despite the loss of her tribe. The seer continued tending the graves in the resting places while she awaited the arrival of the bearer, a mysterious being that her tribe had dreamed of for some time. At the borders of the kingdom, the land became. covered in ash shedding worms rotting corpse the coliseum of fools continued to prosper the will of the lord passed away at some point but no one seems to notice or even care the fools inside the calls seem to be working they are simply there to entertain themselves, they don't even care They look like a king or something, but still seem to have maintained control over themselves, it seems possible that these insects have absorbed the infection voluntarily, similar to the traitor lord and his followers, this would have given them a similar advantage in combat. to steroid use but without the whole shrunken testicles thing, however, even Mr.

Traitor and his followers went crazy, so what makes these fools more special? As for the pale king's champion, the pale stalker, well, she simply approached something that seems to have been another unforeseen event with the pale king's plan when the hollow knight was originally chosen, the door to the abyss was sealed trapping the discarded containers inside, but apparently some containers didn't get the memo. Vessel corpses can be found scattered throughout the kingdom. one in the ancient basin one on the green path and several trapped in the gnosk lair and the deep nest another pot that escaped the abyss is the player character the knight the exact details on how the pots escape the abyss are unclear there are hints that they could have done it He slipped into the depths through an ancient passageway given the empty influences in part of the area and all the corpses found in Nosq law at some point all the entrances to the passageway were closed, being the old and well supported mouth the only way to return secretly despite this.

Several people have made their way into the kingdom with few characters returning, such as the Relic Hunter. Lem seemed content with simply looting artifacts from the ruined kingdom, but other bugs seemed interested in something bigger. On the howling cliffs lies the corpse of a member of the shadowy troop. The task of this bug seems to have been to seek out the most sacred ones so that the troop can be summoned to the kingdom in the future. The shadow troop is basically a group of insects that serve a higher being known as the nightmare heart. The troops keep the heart alive by feeding on the nightmares of the fallen kingdoms.

The process also involves sacrificing the master of truth for his own son because, look at this cool boss battle, another major group that traveled, I want to hear the game's music and see the visuals and stuff all together, oh man, that It was great, I want. To see more godseekers later you could use the thunder gods and the rain gods, these insects left their home in the land of storms looking for a new god to worship godseekers who search for the gods to save them From their own silent mind while traveling through the wastelands, the godseekers constructed devices called godtuners that helped them search for new gods.

Through this device they were able to detect the pale king's lingering power and find their way to the sacred when they arrived, however, the godseeker was forced into hibernation. She was encased in a strange cocoon-like sarcophagus that was itself chained with a padlock. It is unclear how this forced hibernation functioned as a mummy, as the cocoon appears to have been made by the godseeker herself as to who chained the cocoon. I think the most likely candidate is the Dung Defender considering how the Godseeker's cocoon is located in the garbage pit in the canals, an area that the Dung Defender has been tasked with protecting.

This was the general image of Hal Nest after the hollow knight was sealed inside the temple. from the black egg the kingdom was trapped in a sort of stasis with the pale king's civilization destroyed and the shining unable to free itself from its chains the pale king was rebelling against nature trying to keep his work going indefinitely the stasis over halen se has kept for an age, how long does it last exactly? Well, we have no idea, as I'm sure you've noticed that there really isn't a timeline for anything that happens in this game. We also have no idea how long any of these bugs can live. wasn't around to see the deer's paths open, but we know that several other characters were hinting that Elderbug is probably one of the youngest characters in the world.

It's just strange, but this stasis over Hallownest wasn't going to work. Why is it so strange? Elderbug is one of the youngest that is why at some point the glow emerged from the hollow knight breaking its shell and releasing it, ignore it although, like many other things, the amount of infection leaking from the hollow knight became even greater among the many corpses lining up. The roads and cities of the kingdom came to life with the amplified power of the infection, this strengthened infection caused the weavers to leave back to their old home, now this old home could be far from the kingdom in which the song of hollow knight silk.

Shall we play with the amount of knowledge we have about Silk Song right now? It's pathetic, so I'm not saying it's confirmed or anything. This also occurs at the time when Quirrell returns to Hallownest. His memory of Modomon seems to have become clouded due to his time away from Hallownest, sorry, these events are described in the Quarrel prequel comic, which also shows an image of the hollow knight with a pre-cracked shell. This could mean that Qural's arrival occurs around the same time that the hollow knight's shell cracks. Around the same time Quarrel arrives at Hollandest, we also see the arrival of the player character, commonly known as the Knight.

The knight was one of the lucky recipients who was able to emerge from the abyss. Somehow, the gentleman finished. Venturing beyond the sacred and into the nature beyond, it is implied that the knight was called to haloness by the sealed hollow knight or by the inner radiance, regardless of whether once the knight appears and surrenders to this glyph, the real hollow knight game finally begins, oh now there are so many details we could include in Hallownest, it's full of NPCs, like you have no idea how happy I am relieved that we've finally reached the similar point in the game and I like what we do, so I'm relieved, ugh, these and everyone's bosses. with his own stories to tell but to be honest I don't think we need to go through all of them as his stories are relatively simple for example let's look at haunting malik so why is haunting malik haunting because all his friends are dead ? and there you have it, that is the story of the melancholic molok.

Additionally, he is the only character in the game with a visible character. Now, did you really need me to explain it to you? Probably not, so I'm just going to talk about Hollow-related interactions. The main story of the knight. The knight is eventually noticed by Hornet, who lures him deeper into the green path. There Hornet tries to kill the knight stating that she knows what she would try to do. At this point Hornet sees the knight as too weak after the fight. Hornet can be found in the City of Tears next to the Hollow Knight statue.

Hornet mentions that the knight has gained stamina due to the time he spends in the void beyond Hallownest. This could be referring to the fact that some of those who leave Hallownest lose. The memories of him mean that the knight would have no memories of his own tragic conception of him. The hornet tells the knight that if he seeks to continue the stasis that keeps holiness in place, he must seek out the engraved ash that refers to the edge of the realm. At this time the hornets see the night. as a possible replacement for the hollow knight, basically the knight could break the seals to keep the hollow knight locked away, defeat the hollow knight, and contain the infection itself.

It is at this point that I should mention that the hollow knight actually has five different endings because, of course, I will explain each of these endings in this video, since each of them gives us a different view of the mechanics of the world. from Hollow Knight. Oh, he'll explain all the endings. Oh, I don't know if I want to know right now. I guess so, I guess we'll continue with the video now to get the easier ending for Hollow Knight Hornet. Hollow Knight Hornet's instructions to go to the edge of the kingdom can be completely ignored if the knight stumbles.

Oh, I don't know, okay? I'm going to decide that I don't want to know the endings because what if I decide to play it? I'd like to, okay, let's move on, let's go here and this last point is pretty obvious, but I should mention it anyway. Cory in the house is the best anime. Okay, I'm happy with my decision. Thank you for staying with me all that time. It was a long time until next time.
