Why Mato Hates Oro | Hollow Knight Lore

answer objective to the indeterminate obstacle of the

hollow

knight

s tradition when you travel through Hollownest, you may end up meeting three very similar brothers, nail masters, motto gold and shio, each brother will teach the player a different nail art, useful for traverse the dead kingdom, however, the conversation with the three reveals a very ambiguous tension between the motto and gold something in the past of these two caused them to distance themselves today we are finding out what would normally use a visual cue to indicate speculation but just for today we will assume which is in use if I'm not quoting dialogue or recounting in-game events, so I already told you who the nail masters are, but where they are is just as important right now, we don't have to worry about Shio, he's more of an x nail master doing his thing at Green Path.

Painting and sculpture and all that, but Gold and the motto of his own way, continue to be masters of the nails. Oro has gone into hiding at what he believes to be the end of the world's kingdom and is surprised and dissatisfied to discover that Oro's motives for hiding are not entirely true. sure, but what is known is his verbal distaste for the motto, who resides at the top of the howling cliffs, unlike oro, who charges a nice chunk of geo for learning dashlash

mato

, is much more modifiable when teaching the

knight

the way of the nail and yet it is daring. to think that it is his own son in a later dialogue, Mato clearly says that he plans to train in his sanctuary until he truly masters the teachings of the nail sage, which really shows his dedication to the craft, but what do they say behind the other's back that nail art to cut?

I learned from my brother Oro, didn't I? So he's still alive. So hm, I still haven't forgotten what he owes me and I never will. um, oh, I'm sorry, I shouldn't bother you with that stuff, I'm glad you were. Able to train with another nail master and become stronger. My student, that nail art you've been training with my brother's motto. He has strange notions of loyalty and honor. I'm sure it was difficult and unpleasant to train. Did he mention my name to you? If he tells you to be patient, he will wait a little longer before giving you what he wants.

A very important character that I have yet to mention is Cunning, also known as the great nail sage who trained the three nail masters that you first met him. all confused at a forgotten crossroads where you hear a murmur, ask me how much deeper we have to go. Some have theorized that Esme is or is somehow connected to the training dummy outside the Golden Sanctuary, either because she wears nail master clothing or perhaps due to the fact that she is The dream nail dialogue is stronger. brethren, this shell catches the attention of every theorist who passes it, leading many to conclude that Oro killed Esme, hid the body, and then ran away once confronted with the motto, so what evidence proves that this is me as far as conclusive evidence during a reddit? love by Hollow Knight game developer William Pellen, someone asked who Esme is.

The answer is someone who still remains in Sly's dreams and that's it, we got this line from Sly, we got this post on Reddit and I'm sorry to say it, but that's not enough evidence to conclude that esme. even closely connected to the training dummy, so the final verdict I declare that the irrelevant is gone, oh, but cc, how do we know for sure that the training dummy should be ignored? I literally just said why what are you talking about. She's wearing nail master clothes, right? I mean there is a fourth nail master or brother, no I'm fine, so the husk himself is a high jumper, so he can't be related by blood to anyone important, since all three brothers wear the exact same clothes , the training dummy could use an extra pair. of oros, if oro really killed esme, why does shell dream nail's dialogue say brothers plural?

That wouldn't make sense unless shio was involved, who by all accounts is a bystander and finally espy's name doesn't end with an o, which is important because matzo oro and shio's names expect, you're not really breeding , the cherry team does not provide enough information to come up with a solid answer on this mystery, however, inferred speculation can take us to places where this type of theorizing uses evidence from the game as the backbone of its speculation. So while it's not completely definitive, it serves as a much better alternative to making guesses out of thin air, as if that were me through inferred speculation.

I will create a cohesive branching path intended to present all plausible answers and dead ends to resolve this brotherly conflict. Let's start brother. motto in your lonely home on top of the world do you still think of me as an enemy in the future? If you listen to me, I will tell you why I chose to follow this path. Many key takeaways, but there are three I'd like to mention. shed light on number one,

mato

saw oro, his enemy after the last conversation, number two, mato, will not listen to oro's reasoning about what he did wrong and most importantly, number three, whatever who made gold, may have to do with the chosen path in life, if so. caused a conflict between his brother and then considers the path he travels as a literal chain of events or a metaphorical way of life, returning to Shio's cabin with auros dash slash, you got that you unlock the following dialogue so that you have met my brother and you are convinced. to teach you his nail art it's been a long time since I saw him I wonder how much he's changed he always seemed to be haunted by something although I never knew what no matter the distance between us although we are still brothers I hope that passing on his learnings to you gave him some happiness when I read this line for the first time.

I assumed Shio was talking about how Oro is tormented by whatever he did to Mato, but Shio used the word always, implying that Oro acted this way for a large part of it. of their time together, if this is true, it is possible that Oro is actually haunted by a misdeed committed behind his brother's back early in his life, but the shio's dream dialogue supported this. My brother Aurora, what led you to hide deep within the edge. of that grave swept by ashes was pride, fear or shame, maybe you should leave your nail if it torments you so much and find a new vocation that soothes your soul, most likely he isolated himself because of an action he committed, but for For some reason she guess it's an emotion led by gold, pride, fear or shame, why would you guess an emotion unless of course you know what would have caused that emotion?

AKA he knows what happened between Mato and Oro, so is he lying to us here? Sinchio is doubtful. shows no inclination to lie, instead it is possible that Shio actually made this assumption based on Oro's state of distress, although Shio does not know exactly what is tormenting his brother, he does know that it has been affecting him all along. his life after discovering that Auros isolated himself at the borders of the kingdom. even without knowing exactly why Shio might have come to the conclusion that the haunting led Oro down this path, this is also demonstrated by Shio's second guess, maybe you should put the nail in if it torments your soul, repeat if it torments you , further solidifying Shio's lack. details, so if she really knows what happened between her two brothers because Shio acts as a bystander and shows no hatred towards either party, what happened probably occurred shortly before the three of them separated and only affects the motto;

However, if in fact Oro is haunted by a misdeed in his past and in fact Shio does not know what is haunting Oro, it is possible that knowing the truth will lead Shio to take Mato's side in the conflict and, if That's the case, the golden path is most likely a literal series of events. Hello gamers, quick unsponsored announcement. I've been listening to some really good hk-esque music in the background thanks to this guy Matt who does these amazing synth wave remixes of songs from Hollow Knight and Silk Song. His stuff gives off major cyberpunk vibes, so if that's your forte, you should check out his channel. and subscribe, I will have a reminder at the end, but you can find his songs in the description or in the upper right corner of your screen, that's also a fact, but if you are enjoying my historical video, don't forget to subscribe to my channel.

The next big Hollow Night story video is on June 10, so you won't want to miss it. Okay, back to the video. What sins did Oro commit? Steal the glory amulet from Mata's nail master. Kill a larva. A dead end here, however, Auro's path could still be metaphorical, a moral compass that follows, say, the best guess. Oro lives his life as a lone wolf. They call him towards the night both in conversation and when he shows off his nail art when he fights in the home of God. He thinks himself, my path is mine alone and, whatever the cost, I will prove that I can solidify myself even more.

He would prefer to do things alone, even when you give him a delicate flower. Oro will respond by threatening to throw it away if he leaves it to her, however, what's in the way? The outside definitely does not reflect the inside in your real world thoughts. He prays he wants his brother to listen to him and he also asks if Matev still considers him an enemy in my mind. I read this because Oro still loves his brother and would like their relationship to end. Going back to how he was in the past, this is further demonstrated in the way he verbally treats his brother.

He has strange notions of loyalty and honor. I'm sure it was difficult and unpleasant to train with him at first. It seems like Oro is being nasty about the motto. but in reality he is simply highlighting qualities in his brother that he doesn't like, he doesn't like the motto and he doesn't like mato's training style, it's a very significant distinction, while orvo tries perseverance alone. I theorize that the motto is the polar opposite of this and instead better advocates for teamwork as evidence of success. Mato's religious devotion to his teacher, we all know the story. Monte believes that he has not mastered the nail sage's teachings, so he decided to stay atop the cliffs of Holland until he perfects his nail art after completing his training with him.

Mato feels like a father son. bond with you, which we assume he also felt with his master and as a team cheering for the top motto is the only brother who after showing the glory of the nail master asks the gentleman to send him his gratitude to leave the three brothers the motto It is most likely to remain proud of Sly's teachings, which brings us to this quote from Gold. Those who do not share his strength will never learn. My teacher used to say substitute geo for force and you will have my own views on the subject.

Motto must have heard this from Sly. Furthermore, I think it is very likely that he lives by that statement to this day. It is no wonder that Oro, who wants nothing more than to prove himself without the help of others, finds the motto difficult and unpleasant to train and view his notions of loyalty and honor. Strange, all of this put together now paints a clear picture of both the motto and the personalities of Gold, one that values ​​a combined effort and one that values ​​a singular effort, respectively, the metaphorical path of Gold is pretty easy to see now, isn't it? is that so?

Oro believes that it is only his responsibility to take on life's problems and in turn asks for even the slightest help in doing so, considering how devoted Mato is to Sly's defense of teamwork. I can see how going too far with the lone wolf could lead to the motto offending his honor, perhaps even to the point of consideration. His brother is an enemy at first sight. It seems unlikely to me that a simple conversation could end any misconceptions between the two, but as shown, Oro's tsundere personality makes it difficult for him to convey emotions and thoughts correctly if an argument were to occur between the two.

Gold may have done it. He said horrible things that he didn't actually mean, possibly leading to the brothers' current estrangement before moving on. I would like to raise the possibility of these two paths working together, if Orr's lone wolf mentality is in control of his life decisions, those decisions could have made it. inadvertently hurt his brother, if this is true then not specifically knowing a series of events is no longer a problem, his moral code is what leads us to the motivation of his actions up to this point, so why of all the places you chose to live?

At the edge of the kingdom, as can be seen on the screen, this triangle represents which brother knows where the other lives in some way or knows that he lives Roma, but when talking to Mato it is likely that this knowledge does not go both ways, it is Reasonable then for the two to separate. Mato voluntarily introduced Oro to his new home at the top of the Palin Cliffs, the possible reasons for this.I'll explain them later, but it leads me to wonder if a mere coincidence placed both brothers on opposite sides of Hollownest. I guess Oro chose the edge of the kingdom as the furthest distance from howling cliffs after acquiring the glory of nail master ora will tell you maybe by helping you on your path I have redeemed myself even a little by helping others oro believes that he redeems himself The only problem is he isolates himself from the world and shows disdain towards anyone who encounters him, that's a kind of oxymoron, Oro wants to redeem himself from his past actions but he won't seek them out voluntarily, so what if he doesn't want to redeem himself?

Orwell is very stubborn both inside and out, it actually proves that Starrinus is hereditary, I mean if he believes that success is best achieved through teamwork why doesn't he cleverly ask for help in his training? His store is a two-minute walk away, but let's get back to what he was saying. Oro knows how to redeem himself, but deliberately prevents himself from doing so, which means isolation from him. It may be an eternal punishment for his bad deeds, but what if instead or at the same time Oro sees this occlusion as a way to redeem himself, perhaps through isolation, Oro feels that he is somehow helping ? motto how you ask the answer may lie in what Oro owes Mata, if true Oro's isolation is only meant to act as punishment, we will have reached a dead end in discovering what Mato is owed;

However, since Ora went into seclusion and considering the fact that Mata will never leave her sanctuary, the debt can never be paid, so if Oro thinks. He is redeeming himself for never paying the debt. This points out that he is most likely due an apology or a duel. If Mato asked Doro for an apology it would mean that Oro actually misinterpreted their conversation. This is demonstrated by Oro's difficulty in making his True thoughts and feelings transcend his cold outer shell, leading him to make irrational decisions, such as thinking it is better to punish himself at the edge of the kingdom rather than confront his brother.

You can see more evidence in Mata's reaction to the existence of Oro, that the art of nails, the script, I learned it from my brother Oro, wasn't it? He's still alive so I still haven't forgotten what he owes me. and I never will um oh sorry, I shouldn't bother you with that stuff. I am happy that you were able to train with another nail master and become stronger, my student. If Matara wanted a fight to the death, you think his response to finding out about the existence of his enemy wouldn't be so disappointing, right? If Matu was so dedicated to getting this debt paid, this reaction shows that Matu has lost a lot of interest in this brotherly conflict, further proving that Oro was misunderstood.

However, the seriousness of the situation, as I said, there is another possibility, if Motto challenged Oro to a duel, perhaps even to the death, then it is quite difficult to misunderstand what is at stake. Oro, who loves his brother and regrets having hurt him, would obviously be against the duel and would hurt him. To further delay the bloodshed between the two, he travels very far from Helen Cliffs, the specific place Mato told Oro he would be at, perhaps Mato sees his training complete only after beating Oro in a duel or maybe Oro thinks allowing Mata to train will help the inevitable.

The fight becomes evenly matched, if that is true, then Mato's dialogue about Oro should not be interpreted as him having little interest in the conflict, but instead feeling that his responsibility as master of the night takes priority over verbal bitterness towards the brother. of the. This could explain why Oro dressed his Training Dummy in nail master clothing to prepare for combat, meaning that Oro is inadvertently but deliberately helping Mato complete his training whatever the case may be, because the aura Mato will never be voluntarily sought out nor will an apology be given or a duel accepted, meaning the brothers are doomed to remain estranged. forever, throughout the events of Hollow Knight, complete astonishing feats that no insect had before, such as tirelessly charting a dead realm with death always around the corner or defeating not just one but two incredibly divine beings. powerful on its own, so what to say about this small ship that benefited greatly from the nail master's training was unable to return the favor within the master's pantheon.

The knight fights Oro in a one-on-one combat and defeats him quite easily, however, Matu unexpectedly appears from the sky to offer help, causing something to happen. Click on Oro's heart, whether it's a life spent in solitary contemplation interrupted by the small vessel or whether he was slapped in the face by the shipment just seconds ago, Oro finally realizes that fighting life alone won't solve his problems or He will resolve the conflict with his brother so naturally and without hesitation. Oro accepts Mata's help and through combat once and for all she redeems herself from all her past mistakes.

Finally, the two nail masters do not fight as enemies but as brother fish.
