This theory posits that wyrms have differing goals, the lord fool's being to foster a community of heroic battle. I think I'm gonna adopt that as a reserved head canon. Makes the world more interesting.

@epsteindidntkillhimself69

It doesn't necessarily imply they have differing goals. Just that they had different ways of going about it. We know that Wyrms want to draw bugs into their thrall, and that's exactly what the Lord Fool did. And the group that he fostered technically outlasted Hollownest, so I'd say he was a pretty successful Wyrm.

plus they both have loyal servants trying to earn their attention even after they've died (the Pale King has the many passive bugs of the White Palace, and the Lord Fool has, at minimum, the Little Fool, and quite likely the majority of the homeground arena combatants)

​@@Yusuf-ke5iuThe Knight dies in either good ending, and frankly I think it's fitting. Hornet refers to it as tge Ghost of Hallownest, which I think means she sees it as sort of the culmination of the kingdom itself, its ghost come back to haunt the land. In order to properly end this, Hallownest must die. It arguably deserved to fall, but even besides that, it can't be allowed to remain in stasis forever, nor to stumble along as a zombie-like parody of itself. The King is dead, the Radiance is dead, and for things to truly be over, the Knight, the culmination of the regrets of the kingdom, the huge black stain over it, must also die.

Born in 89 here. Words cannot convey how unbelievably amazing it was when my dad handed me the snes controller In 1995 and flipped on super metroid and said , your turn boy! It was truly magic for me! Finally picked up hollow knight in 2022 and wow it really really hit home for me! Took me right back to a magical time in the early 90s when life was perfect my mom and dad were still together all my family and freinds were still alive ect. Isn't it crazy how video games can do that for some people!! Thank you team cherry for giving me a ride back home for a little while! It's so appreciated!

Interesting detail: the hollow knight and Quirrel (technicaly also the soul warrior) have similar nail designs, both with crossguards. These are not present on any other enemy to my knowledge and it's the same design as the Pale King's crown/head. That suggests to me these kind of blades we're reserved for the elite or those with ties to the powerful

My Theory on the Collector was that he was made from the Molds you showed and was made from Void, then the King made it so it had his Same Ideals, but due to it being his first creation, it thrived off the King's Ideal of Preserving his Kingdom, but to an unstable amount and began collecting creatures to preserve them. This eventually leading to him being locked up.

There isn't anything to suggest that the physical Pale Court location has all of the thorns and buzz saws, just the dream version. It's almost like the Pale King is (or was, since he's a little bit dead) guarding his mind against potential intruders.

I think it's either Hornet or Lace) On the other hand, when is the release of Silksong? Edit: Sorry for forgetting, but thanks for the warm welcome!

But his void curls up into a ball and sinks toward the void. After which it would seem that the Hollow Knight would kill the radience.

One thing i think is smart and interesting about the choice to use bugs as the characters of this story is it softens the blow of how dark and twisted and graphic the events are. It allows for an unflinchingly dark story and world to be built, while not being too disturbing. Imagine Soul Sanctum with human bodies. Or the Abyss scenes with human bodies. Bravo

This was the most entertaining way to compile all the insane lore of this awesome game!

My theory on how a vessel was chosen is that ultimately it does not matter. Let's consider these 2 facts: It was ultimately up to the Pale King to decide which one of the vessels was pure (whatever his methods were). The vessel he chose could not contain the Radiance. In other words, when we think about how the Hollow Knight was chosen, what we are actually trying to find out is "Why did the Pale King choose that particular vessel over the others?", and given that the vessel he chose was not pure, it seems like not even the Pale King himself knew how to pick the correct vessel (perhaps he thought he knew). Besides, making them climb out of a big hole is a pretty dumb measurement anyway. It might show which one was strongest, but that isn't what mattered the most.

I think the King thought all of them to be pure. I don't think he had any doubt that any void creature could be anything other than empty automaton.

So now imagine. It's your first time in deepnest. This strange, dark, terrifying place that makes your skin crawl. Every so often you see a spider scuttle away out of focus. You keep getting hit by spitting wall-crawlers, enemies you defeated keep coming back as creepy body snatching spider creatures, and you swear you have no idea where you even are anymore. Now you've finally found a calmer place, the strange noises die down. Finally, some relief. But then you remember what game you're playing. A suddenly quiet, empty room? Oh no. Oh FUCK no. You're caged in, you can finally see the decorum of the place and it's none too pleasant, and you don't exactly have much health because you kept getting hit by those stupid centipede things when you were trying to climb up here. You hear a screech, and an entrance animation plays. You panic, and die. And have no fucking idea how to get back. ^ THAT is why there's no bosses in deepnest besides nosk. The area itself is difficult, with the difficult to navigate maze-like structure, suddenly appearing enemies out of the foreground, reviving enemies, spikes, and ofc, the ambiance. That's not even mentioning those masked scythe assholes. People who are seasoned players are used to it, rarely get lost, and know how to handle the enemies. But unlike the other areas of the game, first timers don't tend to WANT to go out exploring and getting lost because the area is so damned terrifying. A sense of panic and dread fills the player, which makes the area feel harder than it actually is.

Questa Semplice Animazione obviously the WL could move around, that’s ridiculous. Also the colosseum is not inside a wyrm, that’s been disproven.

I think that the ascension was the test. That's why the king missed it. The knight also made it, that scene was his memory. The ascension those who turned to help their siblings were not pure enough, and when their siblings fell so did they. The one to make it was first thought to have no feelings of his own abandoning his siblings, perfect in the kings eyes, but the king turned his back and left, missing the glance back that the Hollow Knight gave his other sibling-a fleeting moment of regret.

39:49 So you know how when you get pulled into the Beast’s Den, you can hear crunchy, snappy, noises, and then a boss roar? This is likely what is supposed to be Herrah’s protector. But, you don’t fight them. This is because of Zote. You see, the snapping noises are the sound of Zote’s mighty blade, Life Ender, cutting down the boss’s two mini-bosses, and then the boss itself. The reason you can only hear three snaps is because Zote is staying true to his precepts, namely Precept Fifteen, “One Foe, One Blow”. Zote’s victory is so complete he erases the boss from existence.

When we give the flower to the godseeker, they remark there's no godliness in it. There's an almost comforting lesson in all of it, that if we take something small of ourselves, something pure, if we cultivate it, care for it, and give it freely unto others, that it can temper or remove the gods from the equation. That we don't need the brightest, most radiant light to stave off the darkness, maybe we just need a delicate one.
