Ranking All Hollow Knight Areas From Worst to Best

Ойындар

Today I'm bored so I'm ranking all of the Hollow Knight areas from least to most favorite. No real ranking system or criteria was used; I tried to keep it as opinionated as possible. Also, yeah it's been a while. My bad...

    Y'know. Maybe I'm not supposed to spend time in Dirtmouth. Maybe. But despite that, it's the place I return to after beating a boss, or retrieving an item that I needed, or discovering a new area's stag station. There's something nice about seeing Elderbug and Bretta and visiting the shopkeepers even though I know that I've bought them all out and they've got no new dialogue. It's the one familiar thing in a vast kingdom of hostility.

Nearly no creativity to it other than just a city that god is constantly crying on. It even has one of the hardest, shitty, and uncreative bosses. The watcher knights. Not to mention soul tyrant (if you fought him early game like a dumbass like i did because i thought he was essential.) Then again, this is just my opinion.

    . Honestly...I find Greenpath to be one of the most forgettable areas in the game. Everything looks the same, save for the lake and upper cave area. The layout of the area is also very unintuitive. You are basically wandering aimlessly until you get the moth cloak ability. It's a real mess getting out of Greenpath as there are multiple areas that you can access with the cloak and any of them could be the exit out of Greenpath, but only one ledge leads to the Fungal Wastes and everything else leads to a dead end.

I really love the music and how relaxing it is, and the sense of wonder I got from my first trip there when I fell down a pit, got stranded from everything I knew, almost died, got the dreamnail (such an enchanting scene), and saw the spirit's glade is almost unparalleled.

And the words "No mind to think. No will to break. No voice to cry suffering. Born of God and Void. You shall seal the blinding light that plagues their dreams. You are the Vessel. You are the Hollow Knight." One of the strongest momens I've ever met in all the games. It makes you *feel* how the Vessels are the most unhappy beings ever.

    Unpopular opinion: Deepnest is the best zone in the game. It's easily the most immersive zone and it instills a dread unparalleled by any other zones in game. Its the spookiest zone in any non-horror game I've played, and that's an accomplishment. It doesn't have a decent boss, but when I think of Hollow Knight Deepnest is inevitably the area I remember the best while understanding the least. Its sound design and enemy design are perfect for the environment and the scuttling noises and somewhat erratic movements of the Corpse Creepers still make me physically uncomfortable. It's beyond claustrophobic and I'm desperate to escape whenever I have to go there. Joseph Anderson's story about finding Deepnest in his first playthrough perfectly captures the mystique of the location and if you watch the SGDQ True Ending speedrun by Vysuals this year, it was the one area he had to mute when first running the game because he hates bugs and it made him super upset.

    I feel the same. I liked how different Deepnest was from every other area, in a sinister way. I knew that every infected bug would be after me in every zone, but the Deepnest residents had me actually paranoid about that. It made me twice as earnest to explore just to see what disturbing things I could find (helps that the area is really big). The buildup of Nosk was the only thing about the game that made me truly anxious too. So that zone and City of Tears were easily the most immersive to me. No other place keeps you on edge like Deepnest, and the City is the most somberly beautiful. Dang, I want to play the game again now Having to fight Stalking Devouts without the shadow dash though?

    Despite Dirtmouth literally just being a bench and a market, I still find myself returning to it at the end of every session, the same way you return home after a long day of work. I can just sit on the bench, reflect on my charms, look at the map, say hi to everyone there, and then log off. It just hits different ending a session in the one friendly area in a world of hostility.

The scene with the distant villagers and the bench was pretty disturbing and funny at the same time and there are many enemies that go with the creepiness. You’ve got little weaverlings, deephunters, creatures that embody corpses, etc. It’s honestly just an awesome area imo.

    Controversial opinion: Deepnest is the best area Yeah there are trips, enemies popping out of the floor, creepy crawly things, darkness, a maze-like layout, and creepy music, but that's what makes it great. The trickery of the floor falling, the villagers taking you to a beast den, a clone of you turning into a spider, and the grubs becoming enemies makes you have to react quickly. You never know what to expect and I love that. Also, the maze-like structure is fun to explore (at least after you get your first bench in deepnest) I do get WHT people hate it, but I dont
