    Hello frens! Thank you for joining the stream if you did 😊 This vod is getting more attention than I thought so I wanted to comment on the video. This was my first "official" stream, and there was a lot more viewers than I anticipated so in all honesty I was pretty nervous and scatterbrained 😅 So apologies for struggling to balance reading chat + giving commentary + understanding the lore, but I hope it was still entertaining to some degree. I'll be streaming at least once a week, so hopefully I'll get better at this whole live thing :) I sincerely appreciate all the support and feedback you guys gave in chat! It's really helpful and encouraging ❤ Fun stuff coming soon :D
    edit: WHY DOES THIS VIDEO KEEP GETTING VIEWS 😭😭 pls watch any other video on this channel thank you

    Evidence of Quirrel passing away is his voiceline:
    "Plenty have come before us and most have met their grisly end, many more equipped than you and I.
    I'm sure they wouldn't mind were a fellow explorer to relieve them of their tools. It's a kindness really. The dead shouldn't be burdened with such things."
    He mentions that the dead don't need tools or weapons and that they should not be burdened with them. Him leaving his nail at the Blue Lake likely signifies he no longer wants to be burdened with it and thus wants pass away.

    One thing to keep in mind with the Pale King is that we only get info of him from people living after his “failed” plan, as multiple endings involve the eradication of the Radiance, the king also mainly sacrifices himself and those truly loyal to him.
    The dreamers all willingly sacrifice themselves, the king sacrifices his children over others, and he himself died by the void in his throne room.
    His death can mean ether he willingly gave himself to the void; likely to pull out character back to hollownest as we seem to be the only one to actually stop the Radiance, he could have continued to work on the void seeking a new solution, or he simply died hiding.
    He is not a good person or a paragon of virtue, but he did try to save his kingdom over his own survival and was trapped between making a choice he regretted or sacrificing everything he work on to the Radiance.

    You mentioned that you kinda wanted to play some more Metroidvanias, and so I really recommend the two Ori games :)
    Ori and the Blind Forest is the first one and it's a little older than Hollow Knight. Probably one of my all time favorite games. Ori and the Will of the Wisps is also amazing, and it took a lot of inspiration from Hollow Knight in some areas. They're a really fun playthrough and the story made me cry.

    48:25 The lighthouse needs to be turned on because if you try to cross the abyss without its light shining over the lake, there are 'void' tentacles that rise from it and hit you. When the light shines over it though, the tentacles disappear, almost as if the light tamed the void. After that you can cross to the other side and explore. I am not sure if the void tentacles are from creatures that stay near the surface and try to snatch stuff from above, or if its simply a natural reaction that occurs when a 'living being' or maybe a being with Soul comes close to it.

    Since you kept talking over one of the most important explanations and then even asked being confused about it: The ending where Hornet gets trapped is pretty good, because now the infection is held forever, since Hornet became a dreamer who is located INSIDE the temple. That means no other knight can ever attempt to open the eggs like you did, since the dreamer blocking the egg gate is not outside to be found and killed.

    • @sirenastellataa
      @sirenastellataa Місяць тому +1

      I don't think it is a good ending. If the knight wasn't pure and the radiance tried to create the infection 2.0, no one would be able to enter and stop the infection from its source, or take the place of the knight. they are forever sealed.

    Hello! I just watched your 112% video yesterday and I thought you were so funny and cute that I decided to watch this video today. I'm always happy to see other people enjoying my favorite game!🥰
    As for metroidvania games. I haven't actually played much Metroid and what I have was sort of meh... I have played a couple Castlevania games, and I did very much enjoy those, but Hollow Knight is just like a billion times better!
    7:19 Why mostly? Because Hollow Knight Lore is so complicated and deep, he can't guarantee he can cover all 100% of it.
    One small not: Mossbag says that the worms are extinct. I do not actually believe this is true. Just the one worm died, and the Pale King was born from its carcass.
    19:34 She's a tree or more accurately a root.
    40:40 This room is up above The Collector's room. It's a hidden, secret room that a lot of people miss.
    Don't feel too bad about watching endings 4 and 5 without having beaten Pantheon 5 yourself. I also watched them on UA-cam because the likelihood of me ever beating Pantheon 5 is extremely low. People have told me that they think I can do it because I have beaten Steel Soul and I have beaten the first 3 pantheons with a few bindings. But MY GOD Those Pantheons just feel impossible!!!
    Menderbug has a 2% chance of appearing fixing the sign at the top of the Forgotten Crossroads under the well entrance. He will run away the moment he sees you (Deerbone). Sadly, you have to kill him in order to see his journal.

      Lots of people have said that the void is fossil fuel, and it definitely has merit. The void could be both the physical fossilized remains of the ancient civilization and the fossilized memories of those ancient bugs. That's why the void seems so alive and angry.

    The beginning it’s talking about the civilization of each bug to give you more depth of them. But you understood most of it.
    Also, 10000% you can beat P5. Your strongest skill is your determination and perseverance you have to beat the bosses. Do not fear it tho! You can do it, and if you think you need help. (Hint, try to do some binding for p1-p4 and look around for something new to happen)

    If you want other good metroidvanias I'd recommend Ori and the blind forest and Ori and the will of the wisps. They are both very good and the first has more of a focus on movement than combat and the later has improved combat and is overall a lot more similar to Hollow Knight. They have a bash ability that is one of the best and fun movement mechanics ever.

    To open the room with Knight’s statue, you need to see the Radiance in fifth pantheon, and then you can train beating her in Hall of Gods. Once you kill her in Hall of Gods, the statue of the Knight appears in the bottom, in the left corner of Hall of Gods. Beating the Radiance in the Hall of Gods with different difficulty opens another appearances of the Knight’s statue.

    Something I think Mossbag didn't think about in the section talking about if the Hollow Knight (that is the player character) is truly hollow is that it IS... it has no will of it's own. Because it's being controlled by YOU. By the player. The Knight isn't moving around of it's own free will. You dictate it's every action and interaction. You make the choices for it. The Knight truly is Hollow, with no will of it's own, the moment it steps into Hallownest. The only actions it takes on it's own are those at the very start of the game, when it approaches the city. The moment it's within the bounds of influence, you take over. It's mind is blank and without memory.
    The knight is truly hollow, with no will of it's own.
