Hawks he won’t touch it with a ten foot pole because of what happened when MatPat made his infamous Ness=Sans theory, which angered many undertale fans. At least i believe that’s his reason.
Ahem, this would be more fit to True Pacifist. Their stats don't rise, and neither does their HP. Tools are not needed. The game is easy enough to get by with base stats, and you do not need a weapon to fight. To move on with pure determination, to repair your own soul with determination alone. Even RESET. That is what Mister Mushroom means. It is mainly Frisk's determination that will lead them to the end of this path.

Personally, that final line of dialog sounds like it's talking to the main character of Undertale since one of the points of the game is to not attack (not using weapons or "tools"), and cleverness is definitely needed in order to find ways to not kill enemies and solve puzzles, and DETERMINATION.
But then when you hit him the screen would go blank except his name in huge letters, then you’d get your ass whooped. That’s what happens with the other higher beings.

Anyone else think that the qoute by Mr mushroom "its not by tools that you'll triumph, it's through your smarts, speed and determination" could also have been hinting at silk song?
It would be cool to see a video on the different "elements" in hollow knight (lifeblood, void, nightmares, dreams, silk, soul, etc.) and how they interact with each other (for example, paleness seems to destroy void as we see from the delicate flower ending).
I was so proud of myself when you said "hungry" and i instantly knew it was a hungry knight reference. I have not watched a hollow knight lore video for months. It's deep within my consciousness I wished i could discuss hollow knight lore with someone lok
I strongly believe that when Mr. Mushroom says "It's not by tools you'll triumph, it's through your smarts, your speed, your determination..." is a clear reference to SilkSong. Hornet uses tools in the game, but I believe Mr. Mushroom is trying to tell her that these tools aren't what makes her strong.
I'm only 8 min into the video and it's already the best quality piece of lore I've seen so far from all the hollow knight multiverse's lore videos you've made.
@@pluto3194 It's a reference to this videoua-cam.com/video/yjkUMcSREdI/v-deo.html . Mossbag was talking specificaly about Ori and The Will of the Wisps which was released later then Hollow knight.
In the first Ori you fight with a light orb from safe distant and spam attack. Hollow Knight on the other hand lets you have a sword where you need to get close to your enemy. Ori two comes out and lets you have a weapon too. Ori 1 has a skill tree, but hollow knight has charms. So what did they do for ori 2? Yeah well charms. How has this guy, you sent the link, the audacity to say hollow knight copied the second game 😂 lol
"...It's not by tools that you'll triumph, it's through your smarts, your speed, your determination..." I'm pretty sure this line is directed directly towards either the Knight or the player. He's saying that your skill and determination are more important for beating the game than your upgrades are. Since this is his final message I think it makes sense for him to adress the player or player character before flying off for good.
I agree with this. The game is unbeatable whether you have the fully upgraded dream nail or not, although you won't get the best ending. I don't buy the connections to Zelda and Metroid and all that.
True. Could even refer to the bindings during godhome, as you play with less health, no charms, a downgraded nail, etc., and all you've got to triumph is your own skill.
Here's a theory: Gorb is a godseeker. Evidence: he is the "great mind", he wants you to "ascend with Gorb", he looks like them except with no mask. Matpat? wants to see this Mossbag? I would love for you to have a look at this Hotel? Trivago
This is probably the most comprehensive in-depth analysis of HK lore I've ever seen. The multiverse concept was something I've always considered based on the dream nails use on lord shade
@@alexhamilton7090 oh i meant cycle as a theme rather than the literal cycle within the lore, with every time the flame is linked the word gets more messed up because linking the flame and prolonging the age of fire is against the natural progression of the world, so the result of this oppression to nature manifests as stagnation, i see at as having a perfectly organized music playlist and then pressing the shuffle button and ruining it, all the songs are still there but the order makes no sense, there's no harmony so to speak, so when you link the flame for many many years (amount of years between ds1 & ds3) you eventually reach pure chaos which leads to vestiges of past ages to recur (remember the dreg heap/kiln of the flame in ds3?) this is what i meant by "theme of cycles" i understand the confusion because i didn't make the distinction clear in my comment, i hope this made sense though
@@aX0n777 Good way of looking at it, but imo they shouldn't have brought back so much from the first game no matter the reason. A few returning characters would be ok- it is a sequel after all- but there was no reason for Andre or Kirk to return. DS2 did the cycles theme right imo- thousands of years pass and the legends are forgotten, but certain things repeat all the same. DS3 just got too literal with it.
@@alexhamilton7090 i think ds3 did enough of a good job to stand on its own two feet, expanding the lore and tying up loose ends in a satisfying way while providing an actual happy ending to the series with Gael's story, let alone having the best version of the dark souls combat system, so the fan service for me feels like a bonus, but as i say that i can DEFINITELY understand why someone would dislike it, it serves no purpose in the main quest and it's kind of just there for the fans to see and say "yeah i remember that" some pple like it and some think they've gone too far with it, i can understand both sides.
so about conversation 5, mr mushroom mentions "going back up", "gathering, hunting, or wandering around aimlessly" and "things are getting too dangerous down here" i feel this might be a reference to pikmin 2 because, in pkmin 2 there are caves, and these caves, can get really dangerous the deeper you go, "going back up" may be a reference to the fact the in pikmin 2 the surface is a lot safer than the caves, "gathering" may be a reference to gathering treasures which you do a lot of in pikmin 2, "hunting" may reference to killing enemies to get more pikmin, and "wandering around aimlessly" may reference the fact that if youre playing the game for the first time, you dont know where all the reasures are, so what do you do? wander around aimlessly
Conspiracy theory: Mister Mushroom is the guy who appears in the end sequence in the dream no more ending and is also the one who gives Hornet to those weirdos in silksong
Dude I've been watching your videos for all of three days but they are legitimately some of the funniest, well thought out pieces of media that I have seen for a while. My god it's clever.
Obviously, the last conversation is an undertale reference, because it has the word determination and both games were funded in Kickstarter and top donors got to create characters.
The whole "Hollow Knight was inspired by Ori and the will of the wisps" joke is based on this review: ua-cam.com/video/yjkUMcSREdI/v-deo.html The review states Hollow Knight stole from will of the wisps. Ori and the will of the wisps was announced At E3 2017 (June 13-15th) Hollow Knight released Feb 24rd 2017.
best part is he is so scared of people calling him out and having actual good points to defend their point that he always disables comments on his videos. Whatever boosts his bloated ego even more i guess
So does that mean everyone in the Hollow Knight fandom’s OCs are technically canon? Does this mean Hollow Knight fanfiction is technically canon? Cause gosh that is gonna end in some weird stuff man
Shade soul or great slash one hit them, theyre easy to dodge without them too, judt dhade thru it and 2 hit them, they arent a problem outside of all bindings
It would be really cool if Mr. Mushroom is some how talking to Hornet in Silksong; and when (if) We find Mr. Mushroom in Silksong we’ll hear what he thought he was saying to the knight.
Can we take a moment to appreciate the subtitiles? Many youtubers don't take the time to add them and normally is the community that writes them, meaning we have to wait for months. Respect

@@aX0n777 Good way of looking at it, but imo they shouldn't have brought back so much from the first game no matter the reason. A few returning characters would be ok- it is a sequel after all- but there was no reason for Andre or Kirk to return. DS2 did the cycles theme right imo- thousands of years pass and the legends are forgotten, but certain things repeat all the same. DS3 just got too literal with it.
@@alexhamilton7090
i think ds3 did enough of a good job to stand on its own two feet, expanding the lore and tying up loose ends in a satisfying way while providing an actual happy ending to the series with Gael's story, let alone having the best version of the dark souls combat system, so the fan service for me feels like a bonus, but as i say that i can DEFINITELY understand why someone would dislike it, it serves no purpose in the main quest and it's kind of just there for the fans to see and say "yeah i remember that" some pple like it and some think they've gone too far with it, i can understand both sides.
This guy's now making Team Cherry lores, not Hollow Knight
Mossbag:gets lost in samus
Also mossbag:doent get lost in hollow knight
Me: give me ure power
so about conversation 5, mr mushroom mentions "going back up", "gathering, hunting, or wandering around aimlessly" and "things are getting too dangerous down here" i feel this might be a reference to pikmin 2 because, in pkmin 2 there are caves, and these caves, can get really dangerous the deeper you go, "going back up" may be a reference to the fact the in pikmin 2 the surface is a lot safer than the caves, "gathering" may be a reference to gathering treasures which you do a lot of in pikmin 2, "hunting" may reference to killing enemies to get more pikmin, and "wandering around aimlessly" may reference the fact that if youre playing the game for the first time, you dont know where all the reasures are, so what do you do? wander around aimlessly
Undertale: *Exist
Comments: "War, war never changes."
Fandom be like: So you’ve chosen death bag of moss
Conspiracy theory: Mister Mushroom is the guy who appears in the end sequence in the dream no more ending and is also the one who gives Hornet to those weirdos in silksong
In German "Mister mushrooms" Name is "Meister Pilz" what means
"Master Mushroom"
This is the link to Paper Mario because there’s the Master dude that trains you to fight and stuff
Fun fact, "Mr." started as an abbreviation for "Master", before eventually being corrupted into "Mister".

Dude I've been watching your videos for all of three days but they are legitimately some of the funniest, well thought out pieces of media that I have seen for a while. My god it's clever.
Obviously, the last conversation is an undertale reference, because it has the word determination and both games were funded in Kickstarter and top donors got to create characters.
The whole "Hollow Knight was inspired by Ori and the will of the wisps" joke is based on this review: ua-cam.com/video/yjkUMcSREdI/v-deo.html
The review states Hollow Knight stole from will of the wisps.
Ori and the will of the wisps was announced At E3 2017 (June 13-15th) Hollow Knight released Feb 24rd 2017.
best part is he is so scared of people calling him out and having actual good points to defend their point that he always disables comments on his videos.
Whatever boosts his bloated ego even more i guess
god that was a real thing i just watched. wasnt it
What did I just watch
@@when7573 Sadly yes, yes it was. Also nice username.
That video is a parody, right? Right? It's such an obvious sarcasm, you can't say this nonsense unjokingly. I don't believe it's not a joke.
"Video games having parallel universes is not a unique concept." Shows super mario 64
sounds like someone hasnt seen the a press video
Finally were getting into the important stuff
Handsome Lancer is totally canon.
Title card: to be continued
Moss bag: plays we’ll be right back music
Me: I’m am so greatly disappointed
I think that when he talks about how “you aren’t hungry anymore” is when he starts talking to you.
So does that mean everyone in the Hollow Knight fandom’s OCs are technically canon?
Does this mean Hollow Knight fanfiction is technically canon?
Cause gosh that is gonna end in some weird stuff man
NOOOOO GOD PLEASE NO
When it comes to parallel universes everything is canon.
By the heart... BRUMM BRING ME THE HOLY FLAME THROWER!!!
Nightmare King Grimm *(un)holy
Time for bug dicks to be a thing. Knew it would happen eventually.
The quarantine must have finally gotten to mossbag.
“Is this some sort of out of season April fools joke?”
Dialoge 5 really serms like a Minecraft reference because of the hunting and gathering Mr. Mushroom mentions imo
Primal aspids lore:
They are archaic demons who like to cause pain.
They fucking feed off of all suffering they manage to inflict upon us
Sadistic things.
Correct
Shade soul or great slash one hit them, theyre easy to dodge without them too, judt dhade thru it and 2 hit them, they arent a problem outside of all bindings
That would be those stupid ass Crystal Hunters, holy crap they're the most annoying enemy from this game
“Dark souls 1 uses it as a clever excuse to explain pvp”
*Shows lost bastille from DS2*
Sad platemail noises
It would be really cool if Mr. Mushroom is some how talking to Hornet in Silksong; and when (if) We find Mr. Mushroom in Silksong we’ll hear what he thought he was saying to the knight.
Being an undertale fan I can’t blame you for not touching it with a ten foot pole
I like how he says dark souls 1 and shows a picture of The lost Bastille in dark souls 2
Ok never thought I would see mossbag explaining the story of Aria of Sorrow.
Such a good game.
mossbag: Uploads after a while
Me: It's been 84 years..
*its been so long.*
*since the last i've seen your vid.*
*last to this corona.*
*to the man behind the bat soup*
Can we take a moment to appreciate the subtitiles?
Many youtubers don't take the time to add them and normally is the community that writes them, meaning we have to wait for months. Respect
I believe this proves that Hollow Knight canonically takes place in Hank Hill's backyard.
Mushroom: if have nose, then use it
Mossbag: "it there a deeper meaning?"
"and ori and the will of the wisps" ouch, that must hurt..
“Having parallel universes”
*shows scuttlebug*
That reference has more layers than Mr. Mushroom.
For the uncultured : ua-cam.com/video/kpk2tdsPh0A/v-deo.html
it has 1 layer
"...I found out that foxes actually have noses"
:O
Every time he talks about the mushroom telepathy a piece of me dies
It's MYCELIUM
Sure, but in hollow knight they’re also telepathic and can move. You can’t really be connected to mycelium when you’re jumping around everywhere
@@teathesilkwing7616mycelium is omnipresent, just jack in at your next location
This is the most confused I’ve ever seen Mossbag
