The Hollow Knight Timeline | COMPLETE Hollow Knight Story & Lore
Вставка
- Опубліковано 9 тра 2024
- The Hollow Knight timeline is long and complicated. From the rise of The Radiance, Void, The Moth Tribe and Unn to an infection that would destroy an entire kingdom. Hallownest went through so much as a result of the vengeance of one God.
In this video, I explore the whole history of Hallownest, its fall, the creation of The Hollow Knight and return of The Knight. This story has so many incredible characters who made great change to the world. Hornet, The White Lady, Pale King and who could forget Zote.
Hollow Knight is one of the darkest tales in any video game. Silksong may be just as dark.

This is a new game for the channel so any interaction would be appreciated to appease the algorithm gods. If you ignore the gods, just remember what happened to Hallownest....
What is your chosen ending?
I’m so glad you’re covering this game’s story. Dream No More is my personal favourite ending, although I feel as though it is not the most uncommon opinion, however.
i'll watch this later when i beat the game, but it's really cool you're going off into other game lore!!!
Definitely the tough one. Nice video. I really liked your Doom video. I watch them to go to sleep, and other people I met do too. You should do one on Dark Souls.
An insectoid Ozymandias tale into itself.
Mine? Mmm... Gotta Be The 20th. I'll Explian Later
I have been loving Hollow Knight's lore for years, and see my favourite lore teller youtuber make a video of it is like a gift
That's kind of you to say. It's an amazing story!
Words can not, CAN NOT, describe how much I love this game. I recently got back to playing it after my uncle enabled family sharing for his library of games. When I first played it, I was excited but not very experienced with metroidvania games. I died a lot, missed a couple of things, etc. But now, after nearly 2 years of not being able to play it, I got back, and I'm so happy to play it again. I didn't think this game would get any more popularity until silksong came out, which it hasn't yet. Anyways, this game is a masterpiece. And I love it.
It really is a masterpiece. The gameplay, art style and music are perfect.
All we can do now is wait for Silksong.
@Skyrionn right. Also, about those 5 endings, I managed to get endings 1, 2, and 5. But I'm not able to get the ending with giving "Godseeker" the delicate flower cause I try to get the game to 100% and more. I believe that was ending 4 in this video. At first, I didn't know that certain side quests had different outcomes. But after watching a few videos on this game, I realized that. Currently, I am trying to get ending 3, where Ghost defeats absolute radiance and becomes the Abyss lord.
This is NOT what I was expecting from this channel, but oh my goodness I am so happy it happened!
It's an incredible story. I try to venture from HL from time to time haha
The way you put everything together here, I am absolutely in awe. Thank you for this video, sir. You have done the HK community a service greater than you imagine.
And yes, once Silksong (if at all) comes out, and I finish it, your lore video is the first one I'll be looking forward to.
It was a tough one but it was so worth it. The haven't had a ton of interaction with the HK community, but the few I have met have been absolutely amazing and welcoming. Thank you!
We all just wait for Silksong.
edit: Love the ori profile picture too!
"She sought gods, not Cringers" okay that made me laugh out loud 😂😂
Omggggggg the way you brought Hallownest to life with the animation was magical! I spent a lot of time during my playthrough aondering what the city looked like when it was bustling in its prime. Gorgeously done! 🙏🏼 thank you!
Glad you enjoyed it! It took a lot of work but it seemed to come out well!
It's great to see you talk about the lore of other games instead of just Valve games.
There are so many amazing stories out there. I do love Valve's stories but it is nice to explore other worlds too
Just for info, the community have more or less agree that dream no more is the "more" cannon ending because it's the one that make the most sens and is the best conclution for the story
Also because the godhome ending were added in a post-game update
I think I agree that Dream No More is probably the most canon option. I do love Embrace The Void too.
@morgannull4685pretty sure hornet lived
Finally, someone other than mossbag explaining the lore!
The only thing that gets me out of bed everyday is the hope that Silk Song has finally released. I LOVE Hollow Knight
We pray to the Radiance that one day it will arrive
God damn, this was fantastic. The editing, the mood, all wonderful. Great job man, you earned a subscription
It's funny that you uploaded this video just as I'm starting to get really into Hollow Knight. It's cool to see you branch out from your regular fps centered topics! And great video as always!
It was a nice break tbh. Thanks for watching :)
This video is incredibly well-made. I've watched my fair share of HK lore videos, and I haven't seen any lay out the story in such eloquent detail and order. Well done.
Wow, thank you! I loved working on this one and i'm glad you enjoyed it too.
This is so well made! I always was very intrigued by the lore of Hollow Knight and always hoped someone would make a full timeline video. Finally someone has done it! Thank you!
Also, the editing in this video is insanely good!
Wow, thank you! That was super kind of you to say.
I loved putting this together and recreating a happier Hallownest. I cannot wait to see how Silksong will look!
I always love to see a new presentation of the story of this immaculate game! Thanks for this.
Glad you enjoyed it!
Great video! Definitely looking forward to watching others by you.
Holy shit, this video is way too good. The transitions, the animations and the narrative. Great job Skyrionn
It was a lot of work to put together but it was so worth it. I loved this story and was happy to make a visual timeline of it! Thanks for watching it.
Best story recap ive ever seen. I like watching game playthroughs and stories because the journeys are far more intriguing conpared to movies & shows. Thanks!
That's a great compliment. I agree too. Some of my favourite stories are from games.
Thanks for watching!
I’m only halfway into this video, but it’s SO well put together! Your presentation and the style of narration add such a fresh perspective to the lore and I’m absolutely going to be sending this to my friends next time I need to explain the lore of “that bug game i don’t shut up about”
Thanks so much. A lot of work did go into this video. I'm glad you're enjoying it!
Yes! I love hollow knight lore, it's so deep, tragic and subtle. Excited to see you branching into new games!
That's the perfect way to explain the game. Deep, tragic and subtle.
There's more to come!
Can't miss my man. Truly amazing work. Perfect after a hard long day.
Thanks a ton!
Dude. You're amazing. Ty so much for making this. There's many others doing similar, such as mossbag, but you did it in such a fluid and entertaining way
Thanks for watching this.
This was absolutely a passion project and I'm so happy with how it came out. I loved putting this together. This is my normal style of doing a game timeline too. I have several others! DOOM, Half-Life, SOMA, Talos Principle, Bioshock :)
Kind of surprising that you are mostly focused on covering lore of VALVe-related games yet you cover Hollow Knight, of all other games really. I love this game to the core.
Hollow Knight is just one of those games I fell in love with. It was also a nice break to work on something different from HL haha
omg, no way. i literally jusst finished this game like 2 weeks ago for the first time. and to have skyrionn explaining the story is like the best that couldve happened (besides silksong being announced ofc).
i love the way you explain game's stories!
I am happy to be second to the release of Silksong. Thanks for watching!
The music of Hollow Knight by Christopher Larkin is sublime, magnificent, as is the lore video by Skyrionn - thank you for your efforts, you did a spectacular job, bravo Skyrionn!
Im estatic to see that you covered one of my all time favorite games; I hope we get silksong soon! (But only if its done, as much as I want the game, I dont want another cyberpunk fiasco)
Couldn't agree more! Christopher Larkin nailed the soundtrack. I am so excited to see what he does with Silksong.
I also agree - I look forward to Silksong but am happy to wait as long as it is released when it is ready.
Thank you for putting in the time to make this video! I really enjoyed listening to the story. It feels very fluid in the way you told it and I appreciate you covering a lot of the little details too.
I am no good at playing these sort of games and don't know if I'll ever beat HollowKnight, but now I can still know the whole story and hidden lore. I didn't know there were so many different endings and I think all of them are really interesting.
I'm so glad you clicked on, and watched the video. It loved making it and I'm glad you enjoyed it.
I'm so excited to see where we go next with Silksong.
That was an amazing video thank you for your great storytelling ! I’m looking forward to your lore video once silksong releases 🙌
Glad you enjoyed it! Stick around :)
Got to say I do enjoy your lore subjects you choose. Thanks for the hard work.
Glad you like them!
I recently just completed my first playthrough of hollow knight and it's a very nice surprise to see you upload this video!
Hope you're enjoying the video! We all just wait for Silksong
Thank you for covering this game, I got interested in Hollow Knight when I saw some of my favourite UA-camrs play it around initial release, tried getting into it myself while I had Game Pass, loved the gameplay and story but found it too hard to finish. Now I know the full story and just... WOW!!! I need to get my hands on this game again.
Have fun and stay safe Skyrionn, love ya content bro
Thank you for watching it!
It is a pretty difficult game to be honest but the main thing is just learning the boss fight patterns. If you notice their cycles, it becomes pretty easy!
Thanks again for watching :)
Very well put together and researched! Your narration is great.
Glad you liked it! It was a lot of work but it seemed to come out okay!
What a beautiful description of a flourishing, rich kingdom and what a heartwrenching fall it went through. Masterfully narrated, Sky.
Thank you so much. This was one of my favourite projects to work on!
Always nice to see Skyrionn. You always made me love the fable games and I'm really excited to play Hollow knight
It's so good!
My jaw dropped when I saw this notif lol, love Hollow Knight so much :D
That was incedable! I LOVE Hollow Knight and it's lore and hearing it put together like this is so enjoyable. Amazing work, thank you so so much for all you time and effort to bing us this!
My fav endings have always been Dream no More and the Delicate Flower ending. They seem to be the most complete endings for me. Though the Siblings ending is easily the saddest.
First time finding the channel, though I would like to recommend videos/topics on Vigil, Salt and Sactuary or Eternal Darkness?
Looking forward to future works and I definitely have to go watch your vid on Portal!
VoidedFilms. Love the name! Thanks for watching the video!
Delicate Flower adds so much more mystery to the world. I'd like to think that maybe Void has something to do with Silksong's story.
I'll look into those. I'm always looking for new stories to explore. The Portal and Half-Life combined timeline will give you a ton of information.
I thoroughly enjoyed this video! I don't particularly enjoy action games, but hearing you talk about lore is a treat for my ears. I think I would like you to retell the story of Prey. Keep up the good work!
Thanks for the great comment. I'll look into Prey again. It does seem like something I could cover.
A mix of SOMA, Talos Principle and Bioshock. Three timelines I've already done :)
Managed to find your videos a year ago and I really liked the Half Life and Portal lore videos so I just binged through all of them and then started watching your vids on other games, so damn happy you covered Hollow Knight because this game's lore is pretty good
Thanks for the support and watching the videos! I appreciate you. I'm always on the hunt for new stories to explore!
This is incredible, thank you!
Glad you liked it. Thanks for watching!
This deserves way more views than it has. Hype for silksong and thought I should learn the lore.
It was a passion project for me. I'd love it to do as well as my other timelines but I'm also fine with it kind of sitting on the channel for other Hollow Knight fans. We all pray for Silksong.
Without ever having played HK, I was so hyped for Silksong that I am now playing HK and wanted to catch up on the whole lore. This video is incredibly well made!!!
Welcome to the Silksong train! One day hopefully!
Thanks for watching!
My favorite lore man covering my favorite lore game, amazing.
Thanks! More timelines on the way too
What timing! I started Hollow Night a couple years ago and made it four hours in before bouncing off of it. Been on a Metroidvania kick lately though, so I started it up again a month ago. I just beat it last night and absolutely loved it. Count me as one of the many many people eagerly awaiting Silksong. Hollow Night is a masterpiece!
That's awesome! I had a similar experience. I got a couple hours into it and gave it up. Came back a year or so later and couldn't put it down!
I love that the fanbase is still growing after all of these years
Wow did not expect this. In fact I was just getting back into Hollow Knight again since a week back. What a coincidence!
Perfect timing!
Glad that you are doing hollow knight, it's awesome!
When I replayed it around Christmas, I knew I had to cover it.
Impressive. Thank you so much for this video. Honestly, I finished the game and didn't understand the plot at all until saw your explanation.
Glad I could help! Thanks for watching
Whaaaat I can’t believe what I am seeing. What a banger man
Hey thank you! This was more of a passion project because I love the game so much. I appreciate you watching!
Was not expecting this - enjoyed ur Doom tho so I might as well binge this while I walk
It's another incredible story
This is hella cool thank you
Thanks!
Maaaan thank you for the great vid! I'm starving for Hollow Knight news so hard, I'd click on a vid "all fart noises in HK"
But here's a great vid, nice pacing, happy reminder of the story of this weird lovable universe to celebrate the end of the day ^^
I think at this point, we're all just waiting for Silksong news. Thanks for watching the video!
I already know quite literally all of this, but just have to see your cover of the lore. Hollow Knight is my favourite game of all time and this is a gift. Thank you Skyrionn :D
P.S. 7:53 made me chuckle 😅
Thanks for clicking on the video :) It was a tough one to put together with a lot of space for interpretation. From the comments, it seems we all kinda agree with how things went down!
@@Skyrionn yeah, the story as you gave it is what the community agrees with. Very good summarization of the game's lore that we uncovered thus far. I really liked how you handled the parts in the game where your choice matters, like the multiple endings
I have ~90% completion in this wonderful game, and you're deep dive has me itching to finish that last 10%. Well done, sir.
Wow, thanks! You have a little more to do than you think too. To complete it fully, you'll need to reach 112%
I feel like we played different games because all of this lore makes sense but I seem to have missed 90% of it. Thanks for this!
It's all in those pesky lore tablets, environmental storytelling ect... its stuff you have to look out for :)
19:00 when the music fades in. Beautiful. 😌
Man you were surprisingly neutral/generous to Radiance and Pale Wyrm. They were both petty gods. Embrace the Void is the canon ending for me because Radiance and Pale Wyrm both get their come uppins, Radiance dies and Pale Wyrm's legacy is returned to the void. It also allows for Silksong to still take place.
100+ mins eh? Time to get myself comfortable :)
edit: Great vid, really. I personally love the ending no. 3 (with Hornet helping and hollow knight disappearing along with the egg while she Survives - makes the most sense for me when looking up to the upcoming game)
Glad you enjoyed it! I do love that ending too. Each one is great in its own way!
That one does also work perfectly for Silksong.
Man, I clicked on this video expecting to see a mossbag ripoff but I’m presently surprised how they managed to tell the story from a brand new perspective . Great video.
That's high praise. Thank you! Mossbag is a king. I worried there wouldn't be space for another timeline of the story but it seems there is.
Hollow Knight sounds like a really fun game. One of these days I'll get around to it!
Absolutely bump it up your game list a few places. It's one of those games that'll stay with you.
Can’t wait to see which networking hardware is used for the analogies!
Man, I gotta play this at some point!
You'll love it!
Hollow Knight is so special. The lore has ko business being that good. I need Silksong 😭
Everything about it is perfect. Gameplay, visuals and that stunning soundtrack. We all have high hopes for Silksong.
Uncle (living next to Will Pellen) said: Since they only waited for a serious summmary of their lore by Skyrionn, Siilksong now finally can be released. Mossbags video was nice as well, simply had to much jokes in it. Anyway, Silksong should now basiccally come out tomorrrow, latest on Sunday this week /copium
Yes he uploaded a video ❤
I was away for a little while. Always quality over quantity. Thanks for being here :)
This with an episode on Ori will be like a fine meal with a decadent dessert at the end. ❤
I may have to replay it.
A good example of a Grim Dark setting.
I feel like i should have paid to experience this video. Very nice video sir.
So nice of you you to say. Thank you for watching it :D
The music from this game is top tier ❤
It was so perfect. I am excited to see what Silksong brings.
I'm a simple man. I see Hollow Knight lore, I click.
Also this channel is fantastic at lore so I may have clicked faster than normal 👀
Thanks for the kind comment! I'm always on the hunt for new stories to tell. Hollow Knight is so special.
Well well well, now this is a pleasant surprise.
Enjoy!
WHEN ALL IS MELTED IN SILK, ALL WILL BE SONG
About Unn, Godseeker implies her fading is due to losing land, devotion and dream
so her fading probably started when the White Lady claimed ownership over the caverns that became Queen's Gardens, and leater worsened with the building of roads and the infection breakout
Thanks!
Thanks for watching! I appreciate the donation too!
I'm just curious, about 8 months ago you said you were very excited about The Talos Principle 2 and I'd really like to know your opinion on it. If you're planning to make a video on it in the future, that'd be amazing!
This was originally going to be a Talos 2 timeline but I've held out a little because I know there's some DLC on the way. Hopefully it drops before I plan the next timeline!
would love to see you make dragon age or elder scrolls or star wars lore you're too good narrator to listen
I did explore Dragon Age a little because I love the series but the algo didn't seem to like me doing them sadly! I may try again one day
I've never played Hollow Knight but always liked the art style
The art style is amazing!
This is game is crazy good ! I had no knowledge of it at all just randomly downloaded and tried it out I think when it was on game pass …. I played a while and kind of fell off of it even tho I did enjoy the game … I recently got into the game again and have gotten much farther and it’s a great experience!
It's so good! I would interested to know which bit you stopped at in your original playthrough!
@@Skyrionn I had just beaten the girl with the dress in green path I had explored I think as far as the city of tears I think it’s called and a few surrounding areas .. I got really lost and couldn’t find out where to go next glad I picked it back up tho !
I'm glad you went back to it! I hope you finish it this time. Just got to find those Dreamers.
OMG he's only gone and fucking done it! 💯👌🔥
Hey Skyrionn.
Do you think Hornet is void? (love this video by the way!)
Hey thanks for watching :)
Hornet is 100% not void haha
@@Skyrionngosh darn it.. I could've one upped Mossbergs theory that she's not void, instead that she is! Foiled again.
Well this was unexpectid.
(also it would be fare if you did the lore to ori and the blind forest/will of the wisps due to it being very under rated.)
I would love to explore the Ori series. I'm not sure if that lore runs deep enough though. Always an excuse to replay it!
Good video
Glad you enjoyed it!
never heard of the game but i will take a lisen!
It's such a good story
holy fuck a hollow knight video FINALLY!!!
Only the best lore for the channel!
Dark souls and halo have so much lore to go over. I’m sure halo would be very popular with your audience
I've been asked so many times to do Halo. Maybe...
Interesting how you put the acquisition of monarch wings after watcher knights + lurien, when to even get to watcher knights you need monarch wings (unless you pogo skip). Doesn’t really matter since you can do things in this game in mostly whatever order you want but I thought it was interesting.
crap haha. I did my best to get The Knight's journey in an order that worked as well. Missed that one.
@@Skyrionn I mean you can make it without wings with a tech but it’s not intended
I never played the game but i really like the lore.
The lore is amazing. I would also say to at least try the game and see if you like the gameplay
My Skyrionn radar is on point, uploaded 1 min ago
Best radar
It's crazy to think all of this is happening underneath our feet. Really makes you think...
Just be careful not to sleep. She could claim your mind...
Thank you for this video! Curious for my own research purposes, is there any direct evidence of what you called a "ritual" that focused the infection/radiance into the Hollow Knight?
Thanks for watching! As with anything in the Hollow Knight lore, it was down to interpretation and building that "bridge" between lore points. Nothing solid in terms of research, just my way of envisioning how The Radiance was sealed within The Hollow Knight :)
@@Skyrionn that's what i figured. Thanks a million!
4:54 PIERCE THE VEIL MENTIONED 🗣️🗣️🗣️
This 1 is 💪🏼
Perfect timing!
PLEASE DO TALOS PRINCIPLE 2!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Liked the vid btw :)
So many requests for Talos 2. I promise it's coming.
@@Skyrionn thanks! I just finished it and it was really good
And from my outside perspective nased on the memes ai have seen, I was thinking Hollow Knight was a charming whimsical adventure about a shorty knight on an epic quest... That was quite dark.
Oh it's so dark. The art style is pretty deceiving.
The fact that the Knight has the ability to make so many very morally concerned choices would imply that they are also not truly 'Hollow' either as having a moral compass at all to affect your decisions, good or evil, means one has a mind and a will. The ending where it replaces the current Hollow Knight thus may only be another temporary solution and the Knight eventually would succumb to the Radiance just like it's predecessor. Unless you do a complete 'sociopath' playthrough where all your choices are purely practical and in service only to your ultimate goal, the Knight is never a perfect Vessel that could contain the Radiance forever.
My personal theory is that the more you do in the game, the less "hollow" the Knight becomes. By the time you get Voidheart, it's will is probably stronger than any character in the game, living or otherwise. The Pale King could will a few void constructs, the Knight does it with the entirety of the void
Before this video, I had no interest in Hollow Knight. Now I feel like I'm sitting in a class with an engaging professor. The presenter truly makes all the difference.
When will Silksong come out?
Only Team Cherry knows that
@@Skyrionn welp time to go insane
@@SkyrionnI don't even think Team Cherry knows.
Yo is Silksong releasing a trailer tonight? Are you the prophet?
That timing would be crazy
HELL YEAH HOLLOW KNIGHT
An incredible game
*beep system shock when boop* algo food.

Ive been asking you to cover Hollow Knight for a long time. Whereas I recognise you haven't made this video especially for me, that doesn't mean I fail to see the risk you took in the huge investment of your time and resources in this video. Time to put my money where my mouth is.
🐛
Dude thanks so much for the donation!
The channel has been doing pretty well lately so I thought it was the perfect time to do a video topic I love, that may not do so well. I loved working on this and it was a nice break from HL. Thanks again and thanks for watching this!
According to speedruns, the knight saved Hollownest in 30 minutes
I love this comment
This game, like Dark Souls, is hard for me to understand. Now I get a clearer picture.
Happy to help!
Dark Souls seems like a challenge to conquer one day!
@@Skyrionn I like to know what I fight for in games. Battletech is awesome for stuff like that. It makes games more fun to play around with roleplay.
