Hello everyone! The original backer who created No Eyes recently made a Reddit post explaining her original backstory. It's a little different from what was shown here, so check out the link if you're interested! www.reddit.com/r/HollowKnight/comments/pawsyv/no_eyess_original_story/?context=3

Wanted to add that the "They are coming what's inside of you, strip it out" might be referencing the dreams coming and she wanting to become hollow as the Vessels were. Strip out what's inside of you... Eyes could possibly be a way of doing so, because without eyes, you achieve ultimate black.

I don't know why he changed the story. You can read the original post yourself. No Eyes gouged her eyes out herself because she couldn't see her precious children attack her and she sang them a lullaby while they killed her. In the original boss fight, the lullaby is supposed to warn the player of the direction the children will be coming from, which mossbag got right.

I kinda dig it tbh. Another was i created a rather detailed background that was too long and ended being cut down. Originally his concept was basically in short, he went to slay all those affected by the curse and ended up overexerting and damaging his own body leading to his death. I gave them the go ahead to change the background to whatever they needed to fit better for thier game and lore. I drew a basic design and they mostly kept it that way, it was a awesome experience that i never thought id do.

17:00 I always interpreted the “they” here as the dreams. In fact, in my mind I always thought No Eyes’ story was the easiest to decipher. Bugs that became infected have glowing orange eyes and had dreams of light. “They’re coming... What’s inside of you...” means that the dreams, or more accurately the Radiance, is beginning to glisten inside. So, “Strip it out!” would mean that fearing the infection, she tore out the eyes as she believed the glowing eyes had a connection to becoming infected. No Eyes tore out her and her children’s eyes because of fear of the infection, yet failed to protect them or herself.

Not only is Elder Hu dead, he's dead wrong.

My personal theory for No Eyes is that she somehow found out about the opposition between the void and the Radiance, and to try and make herself and her children immune to the infection, she ripped out their eyes and replaced them all with void. This theory is assisted by her sprite, which looks like void dripping from her eyes, and her line about a place where "light cannot haunt us" and "a place without dreams," since the Radiance is the exact opposite of that.

Well, I really think Gorb died when his head exploded due to his brain growing without a stop. I mean, just look at the monument, and think about the only normal thing he says; the pain.

I think Marmu could still become part of the moth tribe, as being a pile of sludge in a cocoon seems like a prime time for a ancient light god to contact you and give you a power point presentation on why you should serve her

I definitely think Gorb being a godseeker has more credit than was stated "The Beyond" could very well be the "Land beyond Hallownest" the term lifeform could also be related to how godseekers are a hivemind, although i dont think that holds much weight (still probably more than aliens lmaooo)

8:45 Theory: Markoth learned/suspected the truth about the Radience, how they turned their backs on her to serve the Pale King, and more than likely came to prove his suspicions by searching and finding the moulting shell of the Pale Wyrm.

I've always thought Gorb was a Godseeker that took off his mask and went insane because he tried to attune without it. Maybe it's how he lost connection to the godseeker's one mind as well. And technically, just because the Godseekers are wrapped up like mummies doesn't mean they aren't sluglike. In my opinion, the godseeker sitting by the lake appears sluglike. Considering we never see one walk around, it's impossible to conclude. Additionally, "mysterious life form" matches up with Godseekers as well. They aren't native to Hollownest, they came from somewhere else. If one showed up before the infection, describing it as a "mysterious life form" checks out. On top of all that, "dreamborn god of the beyond" fits in with the very *existence* of godhome. It exists in the dream realm, but beyond any normal dream, as only those attuning or being attuned to can access it

Fun fact: No Eyes contains No I’s

I personally think the background info behind Marmu is really sweet! Here we have a mother supporting her son financially, and him putting a part of her into the game. While Marmu as a character does not tie too much into the game, I feel it could be the mother's favourite animal, and the carefree and happy character may reflect her.

Something about gorb: Maybe the beyond is just the surface. Hallownest seems to be completely underground, with no connection to the surface. Maybe, ascending with Gorb, is going to the place he came from, the surface. Edit: I made this comment yesterday and it has so many likes already! I guess my random thoughts are good sometimes...

@Dinoman972

Very interesting theory. I imagine the surface would be an alien environment for most of the bugs in Hallownest, so it ties in with the use of the term "lifeform". It _might_ also tie in with the theory that Gorb is a Godseeker. The Godseekers come from the Land of Storms, where they worshipped the Gods of Thunder and Rain. This area seems to be above the surface since, well, there's no storms underground.

I hope somone will see this, I alweys thought that Xeros line "Ah.. I can see now. Those who turn ageinst the King are doomed as soon as they raise their weapon" is interesting. It could mean that kinds knights are simply that compedent but.. i think there is something more, that Pale Kind could pretty much paralise of straight up kill his subjects wiht his will power. Its a bit of a streach but its based on the tablets on the end of Hollownest "Those foolish enough to traverse this void must pay the toll and relinquish the precious mind this kingdom grants". If its the Pale King who gives reason to the bugs, and without him they lose it, it is possible that he fills them wiht his light sorta like Radiance does, and that he can take it awey from his subjects. Its a bit of a streach but Xero line was too specific for me, i hope its worth consideration.

Xero I always took in two ways he was a elite captain of the hallownest military fallen to the radiance. Or Xero was a elite captain who sought to overthrow the caste structure of hallownest society both the grub confirm this caste system and the prejudice of it, so Xero attempts rebellion and is subsequently crushed due to the pale king predictions alerting him to Xero's treachery.

So you have chosen Death

How Xero fought while he is alive: He uses lance like nails and throws them like spear for long range, and uses their bladed edges for close range combat. How Markoth fought while he was alive: Uses his shield in one hand and his nail in the other, most likely very acrobatic. How Gorb fought while he was alive: His ultimate brain capacity allows him to pick up nails with his telekinesis and launch them toward his foes. Or perhaps he CREATES THE NAILS WITH HIS MIND! How Galien fought while he was alive: spin threw his scythe for a ranged attack and used its sharp edges for close ranged attacks How No Eyes fought when she was alive: Unknown, most likely used a nail like most of the bugs in Hallownest. Maybe she threw her weird ass children at her foes and tore their eyes out 👀 How Elder Hu fought while he was alive: Most likely didn't do much, but his dream attacks suggest he might have used spells. How Marmu fought while she was alive: r o l l

Right after you said markoth the first time an ad played that said blood gore and violence Makes sense

I feel like we can all relate to Marmu She died waiting for the queens return We will die waiting for silksong Btw I can’t be the only one who though marmuu had her mouth open and has black eyes?

Given that going by the interviews in this video, Team Cherry changed basically everything they wanted except base concepts about the backer bugs. It only makes sense they now fit so well. Going by Markuth, they didnt even tell the backers that they decided to make the dead warriors unaware that they died now.

So for Team Cherry, kids eating their parents is a no-no, but parents eating their kids is perfectly fine?

Fun Fact: You can hear the grubs inside the grub father which means that they are alive.

gorb looks like a snail collided with a peacock and they somehow fused, his name being a description for the sound made by such a collision

Gorp just understands that the real ascending is the friends we made along the way.

Mossbag you goof The beyond most likely refers to the lands outside of hallownest; and of pale king's influence (he is situated at the howling cliffs after all). I think gorb was a bug who, amidst the mindless bugs of the "beyond", somehow got access to knowledge, and thus claimed himself as a great mind.
