Im hearing a distinct lack of buzzsaws
For a place that is overfilled with buzz saw, traps and spikes everywhere, this is surprisingly very calm
White palace theme is very calm, until the sounds of buzzsaws and spear trap appear
Yet it makes so much sense that it's calm remember that was the home of pale king a literal god and his servants and the like his family that wasn't stuck in the void or dead before being turned into buzz saw hell.
It has to be calm, to counteract the rage one feels when trying path of pain.

When the credits roll in and this music starts playing you're the one who's hollow.
For some reason when I replayed the game on PS4 when it was on sale i did dream no more and it hit way harder
(there is no dream no more trophy only one for the hollow knight but you still get it)
@@MisterRegretti If you do "embrace the void" this will hit you like a train. Amazing feeling.
@@Captain_Claw The last trophies I have to get are embrace the void and pure completion and I already have the save file and im just trying to beat pantheon of hallownest but I keep dying to the stupidest things
@@Captain_Claw I DID IT IM SHAKING
@@MisterRegretti Yeah, the euphory is amazing. Never has any game made me feel so strong euphoria. I've felt like a mighty king when I've beaten her for a first time and my hands were shaking as well. But then, when I've listened to this track for a few minutes I've realized it is truly over. Few days of trying to beat her and it was done just like this. Then euphoria is replaced by the void that you don't want to fill with anything else, which is precisely what I meant when I was typing the first comment. I hope that in Silksong will be God Pantheon as well.
Saw related jokes aside, this is one of the most downright beautiful pieces of music I’ve ever heard.
It helps me calm daily
"Hooohh~" _Bows_
I hear you! It's beautiful.
What would this comment be with the saw related jokes
Keeps me from going crazy with my ADHD but it'll be the opposite after PoP
It's weird to listen only this without me yelling "FUCK! OK, ONE MORE TIME"
Same
After about 70 attempts I stopped yelling and stopped counting
Everytime i was hitted by a saw i calmly walk to my sofa, inserr my head inside it and yell the loudest i can, then i go back to my pc try it again
@@giovanniprovost and eventually kars stopped thinking
lmao so true
this hit completely different after dying to the 2 guards at the end of path of pain

Imagine how much cooler England would be if the Queen's palace was filled with buzzsaws and spike traps at every corner.
Edit: Y'all Elizabeth got killed by those 2 kingsmoulds at the end 💀
hello fellow lotl
Imagine if there were like royal musicians that play songs for the royal family inside of their palace.

This aged well
@J.E.S.T.E.R (formerly sans yes this final) you cant just
"The old King of Hallownest... he must have been desperate to save his crumbling little world. The sacrifices he imposed on others... _all for nothing."_
The White Palace and its theme are one of the highlights of the game for me. Upon the infection reappearing again, the king fled to the White Palace - Now moved to the Dream Realm. Seemingly not wanting anyone to disturb him anymore, he filled it to the brim with sawblades, spears, and spikes. His retainers solely focused on easing his troubles.
In the memory at the end of the Path of Pain, we see a tender moment between him and his chosen vessel. Its heavily implied they bonded, yet he still had to force THK to contain the infection, *knowing* it wasn't pure. The means he had to use to contain the infection he was already distraught over, and now he had to force someone he dearly loved to years of psychological and physical torture.
He sat in that throne room wracked with grief for the rest of his life, slowly withering away and possibly taking his own life. He was never able to move on from his regret and grief, and his kingdom-which served as an extension of him-slowly crumbled. He's a cautionary tale of trying to deny time and he suffered the consequences dearly.
I like how it sounds like the White Lady's theme, but with more of a grandness with the orchestra, reminding us that these two are wed together
How did they ... errh ... do the deeds together? She's like a 20 times bigger and more massive than he is

This comment is the most relatable thing I've seen in a good while
I couldn't relate more...
The only thing I can suggest is that you put it down, never think about it or watch related content of it again for like, literal years and then when you pick it back up after all that time you can have some nostalgia points as you relearn it
you will play silksong for the first time :) it will be just as good of a feeling

@@TheChickenLorde oh shut up
why the fuck is this copy pasted everywhere
@@TheChickenLorde I’m going to blow up your pancakes with mind
White palace is truly my favorite area in the game. Yeah it's short, and not as grand as other areas especially the City of Tears or Ancient Basin, but it just feels so majestic. It really feels like Hallownest in its prime time, even if its only a dream. It goes absolutely unrivaled, and Christopher Larkin made an absolute masterpiece of a track to be paired with it.
The only reason I hate White Palace is because of the stupid timings at the ending platforming section. But it was rewarding.
Such a calm theme for such an enraging area.
Worth it for the better ending.
I replayed this game last week and I got to this place and I didn’t remember it being that hard and thinking it would be a cake walk.
*o h b o y w a s I w r o n g*
Thank goodness Path of Pain was not required for the Radiance fight
I kinda hope it was. Or even better if it unlocked the pure vessel as an optional boss
Please no😢
@@DivvayKhatriYes. Though maybe part of the magic is that you inflicted the path of pain upon yourself. You didn't need to do it
@DivvayKhatri I honestly wish it was a place to fight the actual pure vessel. Would provide a way to practise it in godhome as well before pantheon 4, but that would be a very tough challenge to overcome hahah
Path of pain isen't that difficult
Almost 5 years later, still one of my favourite Video Game OSTs.
How about 7
Its nice how this piece is not really happy nor sad it just stays in between and tells a tale of mystery.
Maybe its because I have never played the game myself (watched plenty of LPs), but this is one of my favorite themes. The first explosion into 1:13 and especially the second one into 3:25 never fail to fill me with the sentiment of majesty that would pervade Hallownest at its peak.
The build-ups themselves are slow and serene, with the first nevertheless exuding awe and wonder at the eternally preserved beauty of the White Palace. Meanwhile, the second one is much more somber, as if realizing that such glory has no real meaning, for the kingdom itself is no more.
I can't quite put it into words how the gap between these two moments make me feel. There's this strange mix of dread, then sadness, then nothing, like I'm experiencing the Pale King's emotions as he sees his great work crumble around him. After all, the palace seems to be inside his dream.
You should REALLY get the game. (thank you for capitalizing reallly, autocorrect
Jogue! Hollow Knight, depois de tantos anos, já pode ser chamado de clássico. É uma experiência inenarrável.
hey man, Hollow Knight is only like $15, it is very much worth it, with absolutely no doubt. However, this is a brutal game, but please hold out, don't quit. Once you get the flow right, there's nothing this game can throw at you that you won't be able to handle
I think you'd like Pale Court for similar reasons
So did you like the game
So this is where the security budget for the Kingdom went! Buzzsaws and spikes!
And also those two Kingsmoulds at the end of Path of Pain
1:23 - 1:30 I dont know why, but these few seconds give me goosebumps everytime, it's just so dramatic and beautiful
It sounds so tragic!
this is one of my favorite songs from the whole game, and memes about buzzsaws and spikes aside can we talk about how perfectly it conveys this nostalgic picture of the dreamworld echo of a once majestic kingdom which now lays in ruins?
The part at 1:53 is one of the most mesmerizing things I've ever heard
peak
When this started playing during the credits, i almost cried to be honest.
THANK YOU SO MUCH COULDNT FIND A NON EXTENDED VERSION
RIP to the OG UA-cam playlist by IndiGo, I uploaded these after their account got terminated.
@@Amellifera. Wow you are so smart.
Just do white palace, this is the short version
@the spooder lord what happened?
The Forbidden Kingdom of Hallownest is one of the most immersive adventures i've ever had, I'll never forget this game. Hollow Knight is truly masterpiece that made by people with soul, who love games.
people with soul?
i see what u did there
'Hollow' didn't feel like a villian I was fighting...
He was a 'victim' who just wanted a way out of his pain and was willing to go to extreme lengths to make that happen. His self inflicting stabs made it clear a smidge of his soul was trying to gain enough control over the infection to help you win and put him out of his misery. Usually, you're on edge trying not to die against difficult bosses.
This was just assisting suicide.
what’s this track gotta do with the hollow knight. and lmao i love how u name the hollow knight “hollow”
@Jacob Combs yea, but by that logic, u can just say this exact comment on “Forgotten Crossroads” just cos the black egg is there :p
Listening to this gives me the exact same feeling I imagine I'd have actually being in the White Palace
what a perfect piece to play during the credits😭
Me: *RAGING OVER A BUZZSAW I CANT GET PAST*
Christopher larkin: here, have some calming music with your rage.
fun fact: before the grimm troupe dlc, hiveblood didn't exist yet, so people actually had to practice this area by dying over and over again while loosing most of your progress
Man I really love this ost. Hornet and Broken vessel will always be a favorite but the white palace is always #1 for me simply because of how bitter and somber the entire thing is.
It’s so beautiful but sad once you enter the white palace, especially when you’re well aware that this was a kingdom struggling through a lot of pain and stress and ended with even more pain, but once you get one of the more bigger endings it really hits the spot where you know that it’s all over for everyone involved.
It’ll always be my favorite part of this game to get the dream no more ending credits with this playing.
When this plays after defeating the radiance seeing the shades fade away and the fate of our playable knight. The feeling that the plague has ended and the souls of those unfortunate creatures can finally rest
Definitely my favorite theme from the game. Listening to this while knowing all the lore makes me feel so melancholy of what once was and what could have been.
This hits different in the credits
Fun fact, you can hit the little floaty guys to gain soul to heal with when youre in a pinch, and they dont die so theyre just infinite soul
This is gorgeous... why I can't remember this song? How did I miss this masterpiece...
OH, I remember, I was frikin' trying NOT TO DIE every second and NOT BE KILLED by every inch of the god-damn screen.
Nice one man! Since the guy with the full playlist, IndiGo, is gone, you're uploading his videos, videos that cannot be found anywhere else :(
After Path of Pain the regular White Palace feels like walk in park
Rather than the actual level, this music makes me think of what the White Palace would've been like in "reality", without all the traps etc. What was it like back when the king and queen strolled through the halls on everyday business? Long white hallways, parks, grand throne rooms...
And then there's that cutscene at the end of the path of pain that has such enormous implications. Not just on the plot, but what life might've been like when the king was raising his... knight. Feelings of affection that had to be eliminated, lest they doom the entire kingdom...
this game is so fucking sad man
"Man this palace sure is white."
- The Knight when entering the White Palace
It may sound a bit weird but I kind of like the hardcore platforming with a calm, relaxing music like this. It doesn't feel like it rushes you anywhere, making it easier to focus. The first time I went to Sheo I had to turn off the music because it was too intense for my liking.
It's a bit late, but if you like this, you should definitely try celeste
That passive regen charm was a godsend here, I wouldn’t never have beaten this area without it.
I thought you had to beat white palace to get kingsoul?
@@TheSonoranSniper there's a health regen charm
@@TheSonoranSniperpretty sure they mean hiveblood
"Aaaaah~ Such a very beautiful place, a calming serenity filled with splendor, majesty and-"
_Sounds of Buzzsaws in the distance_
*_"d e a t h. . ."_*
This honestly sounds like something Cornifer would've said if we got an actual map for the White Palace.
without the ~ yeah
This is easily my favourite piece of non-boss fight music in the entire game, just soooo beautiful 😭
i've recently started playing hollow knight because i knew absolutely nothing about it aside from the fact that its really good, and also because i had finished all of a hat in time and i wanted to play another platformer
this may be one of my favourite songs from the game, now that i can actually hear it clearly without fearing for my life because of the intense platforming around buzzsaws and spears. i'm still playing through the game to get 100% completion and all endings, but man this entire level was the most nerve-wracking thing i've ever completed.
So you know what the *path of pain* is?🤓
@@dr.zapatoso7220 i do😔
@@foxdude7083 as you, im a completitionist of games. I cant consider i beat the game if i havent 100% (even if hollow knight is 112%) the whole game so i guess ill have to start to gitgud
@@dr.zapatoso7220 I only really 100% games if i've really, really enjoyed them, like night in the woods, a hat in time, and spyro 1 and 3. since i've enjoyed pretty much everything in hollow knight, i really want to find everything there is, even at the cost of my own sanity, if it means i can see more parts of the game that the team worked really hard on and i would normally miss in a normal playthrough
don't worry about gettin gud, i'm still struggling to get two other endings and beating the colosseum of fools, lol. as long as you get there in the end, shouldnt matter how long it takes
@@foxdude7083 good luck then. At least, the thing that scares me the most is doing full pantheon of hallownest. And lets not talk about radiant bosses🤕
Royal Retainer: NOOOOO!!! YOU CAN’T SPEND THE ENTIRE KINGDOMS GEO ON BUZZSAWS!!! YOU ARE GOING TO DOOM US ALL!!!
Pale King: Haha buzzsaws go BZZZTTT
there's no cost too great for the pale king
@@dazcarrr that is why he made that tramway that moves like a 10 second walk between crossroads and resting grounds
Such a wonderful piece of music, so beautiful and so tragic. I feel the beauty captures the marvel that was once the White Palace as well as all of Hallownest. The tragic aspect of the music I feel captures the tragedy of an abandoned child facing the truth and encountering the father who abandoned him for the first time. The knight has to strike the corpse of his father to get the half of the Kingsoul. Reminds me of moments in movies where an abandoned or abused grown child confronts said father and says “How could you” 😭😭😭😭
It captures the tragedy of getting hit by those fucking saws for the 28th time
@@monkestan9433 That too, lol! only 28 times?🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
This is what nostalgia and regret sounds like, and it's meaning a lot in a game where everything is about nostalgia, regrets and the weight of the past and its errors
Это так красиво.
Переслушываю раз 50 за последние три месяца.
The White Palace was the best location for me. Call me mad, but i absolutely love the movement mechanics in this game. It was absolute pleasure going through the path of pain. I hope in silksong they will add even more extreme parkour.

Same
This one is my favorite! Pure umbrage of lament, introspection and valor.
I’ve decided to learn this on piano, and it is far away one of the most beautiful pieces in the game, if not gaming in general.
A little tip. When you get to this difficult part. Set it in the settings so that you only hear this incredibly beautiful melody and turn off the circular saw noises. Makes the part much more bearable :D
I remember when i beated pantheon of Hallownest and then this song played on the credits,since then this song for me represents peace,a rest after an Achivement and the determination to not give up and try once again
Same here, after beating p5 all bindings after a month or more of attempts, this song plays in my head every time I achieve something difficult.
You can pogo the Wingsmoulds, but you cant pogo the feels.
Without the sound of the buzzaws, it sounds really relaxing. I even forgot it was the White Palace.
I proposed to someone and coincidentally there was this soundtrack playing in the background. I really feel all my emotions reflected with this melody.
Sad ending btw 😂
god Hollow Knight is so fucking GOATed
After completing the white palace, can confirm I will never hear this song the same way again.
Es increíble lo poderosa que es esta melodía y la cantidad de sentimientos que transmite; una obra maestra en si misma.
Grande team cherry al crear este juego 🖤🤍
Dime algo que no sepa 🥲
The first time through the game, when I got to thk, I got through the first stabbing phase and thought, “oh he’s doing that because it’s leaking more infection for him to help fight” but what I didn’t realize was that what I was seeing was actually him gaining control over his body for a short period of time before he quickly gets shut down by the radience. Hollow knight is a beautiful game.
1:53 - 2:13
The best part
That part is so good!
*Royal retainers chatting in the background*
Long ago, there was a time when I thought the pain had ended, the White Palace wasn't something to fear anymore, everything seemed easy and I felt happines course through me while flying through the buzzsaws with ease...
*Then, I found the Path of Pain.*
Now the only happines that I feel is laughing at the naive young who tell of the terrors of the White Palace, thinking of how fortunate they are for not knowing true despair.
1:53 - 2:15
The best part imo
omg finally someone who agrees. the rising instruments in the background are so well done
0:00 - 4:19
Is my favorite.
same!
absolute banger
I'd like to do a bit of an analysis on this piece's composition. Obviously, this is 100% one of the best songs in the entire game, but in my opinion, that's partially due to where it plays. Unlike most other songs, this song actually shows up twice during a normal playthrough. Once in the White Palace proper (duh), and a second time during the credits sequence. But why play this song during the credits instead of having something like the theme of the game? The answer's simple.
During the beginning portion, it sounds very whimsical and ethereal. This is to showcase that, despite the game itself being dark as all hell, it is still just a game. Let your imagination run wild, picture bugs doing bug things. The White Lady's theme being interspersed also helps convey that feeling. TWL is synonymous with children and youth. When you were younger, you'd play outside, doing dumb kid things like make-believe knights and stuff. You'd wonder what being a bug is like, and I think you're starting to see what I'm getting at here.
This song is a manifestation of our time as children, so when the tone shifts to a minor key, the entire piece becomes more somber. Yes, this is a fictional kingdom in a game, but this kingdom is dying. I don't need to tell you how Hollow Knight, despite its simplistic artstyle and gameplay, is actually one of the darkest and most somber stories in all of fiction. The tone shift to a minor key is a perfect example of that.
昔hollow knightを始めて途中で挫折したけど、最近プレイ再開してやっとここまで辿り着いた
ほんとにきれいな音楽でぼーっと突っ立ってたらそこら辺にいた雑魚キャラに殺られた
なんだよ！もう！またかよ！！！
The music is peaceful.
But due to association this song fills me with nothing but rage and anxiety.
This is the most depressingly beautiful song in existance
One of the most beautiful areas I’d ever *saw*.
(Sucky grammar aside, I consider my pun pretty *cutting edge*.)
i don't think they could've picked a better song to put in the credits
I still absolutely love hearing it after beating the game. This song contains the King's letimotif, so hearing it after Dream No More, when you free his kingdom, is so so emotional and fitting.
s(h)aw
😔✊
3:20 is definetly my favorite part.
I couldn't reach to the most inner depths of the White Palace, it's so brutally hard.
When I entered this place, I paused what I was doing and just listened.
The juxtaposition of calm music with crazy difficultly is reminiscent of Stickerbush Symphony from Donkey Kong Country 2
Just beat the path of pain and came to listen to this without the buzzing.. where as it is so satisfying, so peaceful. It just isn’t the same
My favorite ost, and location. It`s so calm and peacefull)
Missing Monarch … Return to us….
Cuando terminas Hollow knight por primera vez, nunca vuelves a ser el mismo
The most beautiful music in the game.
This harmony really takes you places
This is one of the most beautiful soundtracks i've ever heard
4:04 I don't know why, but this moment just overwhelms me with its beautiful transition. Such a gorgeous piece of music
RIGHT?????????????????????????
I managed to clear this on my first playthrough without realizing I could pogo jump on saw blades and spears >.
Is that possible? 😨
@@az-cv1ql
I made a new file just to test this
it is possible but I personally found it way more annoying than to just pogo stuff
This place felt like I reached an area I was never meant to find but it has such significance. Felt like walking into a dream and I don't think anything else will top it.
This is the type of music I imagine would play in an emotional flashback scene in a Pixar/Dreamworks movie.
3:25 It sounds like vocals are added here, and God, it makes this incredible song even more beautiful
After completing this Hell Hole this song already gives me PTSD
God, I just randomly remembered the Meatboy nightmare that was this area. It was fun though, I look back at the memories I’ve had with the White Palace with a smile
Personally, I thought the path of pain was fun. I made it through just fine and boy finally reaching the end felt amazing. Would recommend trying it to anyone who has the patience to get through it lol.
Funny thing is, is that because I spent so much time trying to complete the path of pain, i had practically memorized it. So when it was my 2nd time playing the game I managed to get through the path of pain just fine, but for the actual white palace I struggled lmao
Man I have become very well aquatinted with this song
i cry everytime i hear this song wtf
All I hear is the sound of buzzshaws
This is a calming experience. This kept me sane on white palace, and keeps me sane on life. Thank you team cherry, for creating hollow knight. This game made my life actually stable.
Which spike trap was your least favorite?!!!!For me it was the one that required well timed dashes.(The one horizontal one with the spikes popping out of the ground)
Idk why but that one gave me more trouble then path of pain itself
@@lincolnrose9910 That makes a lot of sense.
Most seem to really hate hive blood and I can understand why but this would have been 1000 times worse for me without it.
I haven't seen anyone mention this before, but this sounds very similar to Beethoven's Moonlight Sonata, I bet that Larkin took insporation from it.
