Thank you again Milesnuggest for collabing with me! Now go watch his lamp ranking video that we did together; there might be some more lore there, who knows... ua-cam.com/video/qvDqcDVL9ww/v-deo.htmlfeature=shared
I like to think that all those bugs you see leading up to Nosk's lair were the construction workers for the Failed Tramway. Nosk is right next door to the hotspring where the workers would've rested.
11:33 I think charms are quite the opposite from ascension. They form from a bug's last wish (at least some of them), indicating something *not* reaching a grand conclusion, rather a wish so great yet unforfilled, it manifests as a charm. Ascension may also come from some form of grand forfillment.
Bro the king has been dead for ages how are they still paying their electricity bill?! Where is this energy coming from?! I expect you to answer this question in the next half hour video essay.
I had no idea the amount of ideas and connections that could come from something as simple as lanterns and lamps! I should know better by now, great video and really fun to see you and Miles collab :))
I wanted to note that those "eggs" look so similar to the Eggs found in the movie: "Angel's Egg". Most people know this but Team Cherry based on the general aesthetic of hollow knight from that movie. And I can tell that those eggs look alike because of the strange arms-like things that suspend them.
Whilst Lumaflys might not be creations of the Pale King, Monarchflys (the 6 winged dudes that become the monarch wings, referenced in the Mister Mushroom lore tablet) may well be, which only raises more questions about regular Lumaflys and about the 4 winged ones seen in Silksong breaking the seal around Hornets cage and before the Lace fight
16:25 By the way id like to share with you my theory i had about electricity in hallownest, those strange cables in the background and usage of crystals from crystal peak. so basically it is said that those crystals are wery valuable but we cant realy see any of them in the world. It's also said that they have some sort of energy conduction properties (thats how i understand their relation with light of Radiance). I think that we cant see them because they are used in those cables in some way. We almost always see those cables around places with some mechanisms (like levers and elevators). The only other place we see those is soul sanctum, which might suggest that the main energy source for hallownest is soul (that also explains white light on the lever)
Something I noticed the Dirtmouth lumiflies aren't contained in crystal meaning they're intentionally staying there so there's probably some bait there attracting them so its possible they like food
A friend of mine and me do lore on some hollow Knight server, and she's a Lumafly, we keep talking about how no one ever talks about Lumaflys, they finally are now! In fact, its part of her lore that she was once a Moth, and died and became a Lumafly, like seer! Hell, she's spot on with most of this!
I think it’s quite obvious that light is the most important symbol in Hallownest, a kingdom built atop a sea of darkness. The Radiance represents the sun, huge, bright, and beautiful. The pale king represents the moon, which, although appearing similar in size to the sun in the sky, actually has a much lesser form. And the lumaflys? With their great number and very dim light, it’s safe to say they represent the stars.
About the wierd things in deepnest: they're heavily inspired by tha anime "Angel's egg", which was a huge inspo for Hollow Knight. The anime has identical eggs, so I thought it was a reference of sorts
Awesome video!! I love seeing a concept I haven't thought about in Hollow Knight (which are very few) explored to its fullest. Thank you for this video :)
I think the Monarchflies need more elaboration! And yes, they are actually called Monarchflies because in the Hollow Knight ps4 edition guide packet it says that they are the "Wings of a Monarchfly" :)
on the topic of lumaflies i think its interesting how in the junkpit(?) lumaflies fly out from the majority of chests down there. no idea how to connect that to anything but i think its interesting. also perhaps the lanterns vary based on the history? like as for having torches instead of lumaflies its possible that those areas were just. built before the implementation of lumafly lanterns and they didnt see a reason to change it? im not a hollow knight lorer so i dont know the actual history of areas though beyond the general things. or it could be to separate pale king territory from other territory without being too specific if it makes sense? (like the hive lanterns). anyways time to watch the pilgrimage video
i think the reason that the colo still uses fire is because it was likely made before using lumaflys as light was fully descovered, and with the king fool being dead, there was never anyone to renavate the area.
17:56 Radiance: LIGHT I LOVE LIGHT..I..NEED.. BIG LANTEEEEEEERN! Cc: oh no...ah let me just call the moth inspector (calls the number) knight we have a BIG LIGHT PROBLEM
I was not expecting lamp lore, nor was I expecting to see Lies of P on your laptop, just after buying the game myself. Started playing it a few days ago.
I don't think lumaflies are part of the pale king's reach, buuut monarchflies (the little six-winged goobers you can see flying around the monarch wings, which are also seen taking off in swarms when you're walking though the white palace.) could definitely be! They're pretty much identical in appearance to the hallownest seal. Another thing I just realized is that the aluba (guys who're gliding over the blue lake) also have identical anatomy to the larger ones who you see take off in the palace, right down to the long tails and trailing legs. The wanderer's journal says alubas are supposedly attracted the resting places of being of great power, so it's very possible the two species are related, or the monarchfly could even be the immature nymph form of the aluba. I love all the symbolism and details in this game, and theorizing about the potential ecosystems/life cycles of the creatures in it.
3:19 ok a little while ago i watched a video about lies of p and hk music played Now im playing lies of p and i find it in a frickin hollow knight video
What I thought you were gonna say about the mantis tribe lights was that the pale king stole them like some kind of British empire stealing Indian diamonds kinda thing lmao

Thank you again Milesnuggest for collabing with me! Now go watch his lamp ranking video that we did together; there might be some more lore there, who knows... ua-cam.com/video/qvDqcDVL9ww/v-deo.htmlfeature=shared
Wait, lamp ranking😂. Dang
this is why silksong is taking so long - they're working on making the lore document 10x as long so you insane people have something to do
this just seems true
Bro is an active hater on the prowl 😭
Nope. Just the Hornet design and the map (no joke)
Lamp
Lantern
Moth lamp
Light bulb
Troupe flame
Tribe torch
I like to think that all those bugs you see leading up to Nosk's lair were the construction workers for the Failed Tramway. Nosk is right next door to the hotspring where the workers would've rested.
That’s actually a good reason to think that the bugs leading to the nosk arena are all worker’s
11:33 I think charms are quite the opposite from ascension. They form from a bug's last wish (at least some of them), indicating something *not* reaching a grand conclusion, rather a wish so great yet unforfilled, it manifests as a charm.
Ascension may also come from some form of grand forfillment.
YES MORE CC CONTENT!!!!

So awesome to be in a Cc video, thank you so much for collabing with me :D💜
Take me too 😔🖐🏽
Aren't you the smash or pass guy?😂👌💯 (I swear I didn't watch it my friend told me about it)
@@ekiercik0936He's the smash and pass and the bench and grass ranking guy
Now also the lantern ranking list guy
didn't think there would be more lore to uncover but wow you did it
I'm not done yet...

Night vision spiders is a terrifying idea
Wolf spiders have large eyes letting them see very well at night.

Had no idea much of the art style was based off of Angel's Egg. The City of Tears is almost a direct homage.
@@TheHaddonfieldRegistry it basically is haha :D
Welp. Two of my favorite games reference Angel's Egg in their lore. I'm going to have to watch the movie now lol
Incredible map at 0:58, that's my jam

Finally, another lore video from our god Cc. We have all waited for so long. THank you for your work.
A friend of mine and me do lore on some hollow Knight server, and she's a Lumafly, we keep talking about how no one ever talks about Lumaflys, they finally are now!

Sly imprisoned a Lumafly in a jar and sells it for an extortionate price
NOO WAY HE UPLOUDED AFTER 4 MONTHS NO ACTUAL WAY LETS GO DUDE I LOVE YOU!!!
whoever made the thumbnail for this video must be an incredibly handsome person
Hatamas Geo?
-Sly
Oh No. They turned CC into a marketable Plushie!
There’s a little buddy in this lamp!
The lantern could maybe be so big because it could be a normal sized lantern. It could be human size because you're as tall as a bug, but idk?
the maskmaker has a brother, called lampmaker, it is real i swear
About the wierd things in deepnest: they're heavily inspired by tha anime "Angel's egg", which was a huge inspo for Hollow Knight. The anime has identical eggs, so I thought it was a reference of sorts
The Seer transformed into a beautiful Lumafly.
But not Markoth.
Markoth is dead 😌
Highly detailed and astounding video once again!
Thank you so much for covering these living lanterns!
Goated collab, HK communities have their priorities in order before silksong
No Silksong really has us out here hyper analyzing lamps
Awesome video!! I love seeing a concept I haven't thought about in Hollow Knight (which are very few) explored to its fullest. Thank you for this video :)
eat the lumafly
Y e s m a s t e r
*Proceeds to eat the lumafly*
Wake up, new cc vid just dropped
HE'S BACK
I think the Monarchflies need more elaboration! And yes, they are actually called Monarchflies because in the Hollow Knight ps4 edition guide packet it says that they are the "Wings of a Monarchfly" :)
can't believe the hollow knight community has resorted to analysing THE GAME'S THE LIGHT SOURCES
Radiance at the end: let me in! LET ME IIIIIINNN!!!
You honestly deserve more subs. Where's Matpat we need another Hollow Knight theory. Maybe it'll be "why hornet is void"
this video documents a descent to insanity

Great video! But, at 2:06 aren’t spiders eight legged?
Six... eyed?
Wait, also doesn't work.
Yeah, six legs is what insects have, not spiders
LET’S GOOO! NEW LORE VIDEO!
Totally awesome video I love the lore
i think the reason that the colo still uses fire is because it was likely made before using lumaflys as light was fully descovered, and with the king fool being dead, there was never anyone to renavate the area.
I have grown to appreciate otters
Holy shit bro!😨 the whole deepness civilization is dying away because of the fire that comes from mask-maker room😨(17:08)
great vid as usual
17:56 Radiance: LIGHT I LOVE LIGHT..I..NEED.. BIG LANTEEEEEEERN!
Cc: oh no...ah let me just call the moth inspector (calls the number) knight we have a BIG LIGHT PROBLEM
Another great video ccmaci
3:54 sunglasses and n95 is peak anon-core and i appreciate it.
No Silksong 5 year god I’m going crazy
Awesome video Ccmaci!!! ❤❤❤

Lämp 👍
lamp time
You know it’s gonna be a good day when Ccmaci uploads
“I guess we have to wait till silk song” at least it seems to be right around the corner with the rating having dropped some months ago
I love hollow knights lamps
Didn't expect to see a cc video about lanterns today
I never noticed that the hollowknight's head follows you before you set him free for the fight.
MILESNUGGET APPEARANCE YEAAAAAAAAAAAAAAH
Now explain the lore of arena gates
14:17 pretty cool visuals right there
Another lore video from Cc, tis a good day.
This came out RIGHT after Miles' vvideo
That was the strat we were going for😎
rahhh, mask maker mentioned!!! I still wish Mask Maker...gave a mask shard.
lantern lore goes wild
Lantern Tier List!
13:26 maybe its LITERALLY ‘cool’, so they needed fire to warm themselves up
LORE YEEAAAAAAAAAAAAHHHHHH
"That's right - it's another symboliszm"
I THINK THAT'S THE SQUARE HOLE
Dude, my HK streak theory is half-built on symbolism, everything is symbolism is HK.
Babe wake up new ccmaci video just dropped
We are this desperate for lore that we analyse lamps now Dam silksong when
YOOOOO new ccmaci
Mmm Lantern Lore
Omg yes! I’ve always thought about these 😆
Another reason why I love Deepnest!

Bro they had to make sure no light escapes so they put a seal of binding on the lumaflies
This is what no silksong does to a man
I feel like Samurai Jack with this Hollow Knight content....
"It's been 50 years... I do not age... all I did was grow a stupid beard" xD
team cherry please release silk song before hk lore tubers have to make chair analysis videos
3:19 ok a little while ago i watched a video about lies of p and hk music played
Now im playing lies of p and i find it in a frickin hollow knight video
15:05 I can't believe they turned Hollow Knight's lamps into a real thing
Done. Fun. Must sleep now.
Here everyone 🎉
more lore :D
Im surprised Volt Twisters weren't mentioned in the video
we back
What I thought you were gonna say about the mantis tribe lights was that the pale king stole them like some kind of British empire stealing Indian diamonds kinda thing lmao
9:36 caught me really off guard, ngl
Bro is making lore about everything😂. Even lamp lore😮
yippee, another time to watch ccmaci
lamp
Am i the only one who never noticed that the hollowed knight turns his head towards you when you first come
New Ccmaci video let’s go
2:05 ahh yes, spiders having six legs. (They have 8)
Weavers have 6, I should've specified
@@Ccmaci LOL
mmmmmmm juicy lore
I'd say its about 53 calories worth of lore
@@Ccmaci I’LL TAKE IT! buying in bulk to put it in my smoothies from now on
