    What if focus is used in a more literal sense of focusing on a goal for example although void has a mind the void tendrils lash out without any goal or focus but when the void becomes the shade lord it is focused on obtaining a goal of killing the radiance.

      In facts, mossbag's videos are very speculative, and Team Cherry said themself Hollow Knight had no lore established, which mean there isn't really an interpretation above the others. In my opinion, all of these things made sense when Team Cherry put them together, but I don't think they were to reflect about why are the tablets in the King's Pass. However, has Hollow Knight got "no lore", that means creating new lore is definitively not trash.

  • @Anonymous-Shade

    Personally, I do believe he put those there for the vessels.
    If a higher being and another higher being have a child, it's safe to assume that child would be a Higher Being as well. Just add void and you have vessels. Perhaps he realized his mistake or knew the Hollow Knight would be flawed, only to put those there for the real Hollow Knight (the Knight) when they return to Hallownest. The lore tablets do talk a lot about how they can only "produce ones such as you" and such. Hallownest couldn't possibly be the only place with Higher Beings (cough cough, Pharloom) and the vessels were made in Hallownest. As for the Mask Maker idea, I don't really think a face means to exist. I think it means you need an Identity to exist. Something people can recognize you by and some bugs, as he says, does not have that trait. The Pale King wants the vessels to take off their masks to, perhaps, fight the Radiance with Darkness vs Light.
    As for the last lore tablet, I'm not entirely sure what to make of it. Maybe he didn't want the vessels to be all too curious and wander off to other kingdoms. Only to stay in Hallownest. Who knows?
    That's my take on it, anyway.

But you're right in thinking that the Mushroom tribe were not spawned of the infection, at least some of their lore tablets (readable and noticeable when wearing fungal spores charm) clearly refer to a time before the infection. But I don't think they're immune to the infection, as the Shrumal warriors and ogres have attacks which are bright orange, infection coloured. The only creatures in all of Hallownest that are definitely able to resist the infection at will besides other godly creatures are the Mantises. And before you mention the mantis traitors, they're only infected because they were infected willingly.

    Can you make a lore video on the different parts of the City of Tears and what you think different areas were for? Like analyze the level design and backgrounds and stuff to put together how the City worked? Maybe analyze the caste system if you can? Could work into a broader analysis video on how the regions of Hallownest interacted, for example how Forgotten Crossroads functioned and who lived there, where the lower class of the City lived, who or what lived in Greenpath, to what extent the Fungal Wasted were colonized or used by the Kingdom, etc.
    I know it’s a big ask, but I feel like you’d make a legendary video just giving your two cents on it. If you do it make sure you meme this comment into the video anyway bapanada BEEYOTCH

    Maybe he is saying “last civilization” to suggest that other kingdoms, though clearly civilizations, are not civilized compared to Hallownest. Like he is downgrading other civilizations because they are “not as great as his.” It is clear that the Pale King is not the most reliable narrator.

    Another possibility is that it all has to do with the winds in the cliffs. Quirrel talks about how the wind “clouds his mind.” So it sounds like the wind makes it hard for him to focus, which is why faceless bugs outside Hallownest are mindless.

    I thought there was nothing left to pick over in this game but somehow this was one of my favourite episodes yet. Digging down into vague yet repeatedly used terms seems like a surprisingly productive way to get inside the writers' heads with cryptic stories like this. Someone with an English degree could probably put a name to this approach... I'll just have to keep thinking of it as "Big Brain Analysis".

    My interpretation was that the tablets were The Pale Kings last ditch effort to save Hallownest. I think it's possible that he knew the Pure Vessel was impure thus "wrote" those tablets in order to teach the other vessels. You literally hear a strange breath when you "read" them, and I think The Pale King "wrote" the tablets with his last breath in the royal throne room.

    My take on the whole mask thing is that the knight uses the masks to hide his true form (Void), as when all of your masks break, the void inside the knight spills out all over the place, as there is no longer anything to contain the knights true form in it's shell

  • @birdsforbrains2
    @birdsforbrains2 5 років тому +24

    Confession: my crackpot theory for the lore tablets was that they were intended for us, the players. It seems like Ellina wasn't able to read the lore tablet (at least that's how I interpreted it). Besides the one instructing the knight on how to focus soul, each one feels very... meta. Why would the knight need to know that the abyss contains something shameful (to paraphrase), if it would know this already? Besides the higher beings we know of: grimm, mothra (who wouldn't be reading them anyway) and the pale king and queen (who would already know the information on them), who else would read them?
    We know the knight, its siblings and the hollow knight are meant to be vessels that can contain higher beings. What if in a way, the knight's containing us? The white lady said that the knight was not tarnished. If it was truly hollow, why would it make such seemingly unnecessary choices like choosing to sit to watch the lake with quirrel or sitting to listen to Marissa the singer? They don't progress any sort of quest, they're just... choices the knight is free to make, so why would the knight choose to go out of its way to do these if it doesn't have any desires (because of the whole hollowness thing)?
    I could also be 110% wrong and an idiot for even thinking any of this but what fun would hollow knight be if we didn't obsessively speculate over tiny things like who Lord Fool was, how Hornet got her name, or how zote became such a raging sex god

    • @dipsfriesinchocolate5063
      @dipsfriesinchocolate5063 5 років тому +6

      Wouldn't the Knight actually *not* know that? Because they lost their memories after leaving Hallownest, didn't they? They were simply "called" to the kingdom, but not truly knowing, or remembering, about what it hid. They were basically a newcomer to Hallownest throughout the game.
      Although this still doesn't explain that tablet's purpose.

    To me, "the last and only civilization" was a testament to the Pale King's hubris. Hallownest was supposed to stand eternally, so eventually, it *would* be the last and only civilization, as time eventually claimed all the others.
    Of course, things didn't quite pan out that way. The tablet ends up being bitingly ironic, in much the same way as Ozymandias's boastful pedestal inscription in the featureless desert.
