10 Minutes of Completely Useless Hollow Knight Information 

Another completely random fact, Sharp Shadow kills Lifeblood but does not give you any extra hearts! This has screwed me over in Pantheon of Hallownest many times!

Despite the title of the video, I wasn’t expecting the uselessness of this info. I enjoyed this thoroughly, great vid Blue

So Ellina's journal is 200 geo and 32 dollars which means 200 geo is worth 32 dollars so a dollar is worth 6,25 geo

9:54 poor skurry will never live this down

A useless fact of my own finding: Even if you have the game audio muted, some sounds will still play! The ones that I've been able to find are the grass in dreams/godhome, and the breakable wall to the Weaver's Den (which has jumpscared me multiple times)

Glowing womb has exactly one area where it is actually beneficial: soul sanctum. Mages don't teleport away from your flys and theres plenty of soul flasks to refill your soul without needing to hit enemies much. Makes the area considerably less annoying

8:42 He doesn't bow to the audience, he bows to one of the gods that watches us (the one sitting above everyone)

3:54 im fairly sure that no all lifeblood charms accomplish this, and that its only joni's blessing that makes the life seeds attracted to the knight

9:30 Jokes on you, I was so obsessed with finding every secret everywhere, I superdashed there out of curiousity

9:34 I found this spot by accident about a month ago, some 140 hours into the game, and immediately closed it to sit in awed and horrified silence for a good several minutes.

There is one more fairly useless fact about Grimm that I think people don't realise: you can dream nail him for extra dialogue (which happens to be fairly interesting) exactly once - right after you beat him as TMG and before you talk to him. It's your only chance because every other encounter with him is treated either as a cutscene or a battle.

One interesting note is that while there are 11 Zotelings, only a handful exist in the Hunter's Journal, the ones from the Grey Prince fight. It's odd that the others aren't in there but it makes sense when they're in the Eternal Ordeal- which makes sense when some players might not go there and it would affect the Journal Achievement.

New theory, zote is sleep deprived that's why he's not infected and is so grumpy, but he still has dreams, they just aren't strong enough for him to get infected.

9:29 this game continues to surprise me with these small secrets, that most wouldnt even know of

Cool stuff some of it was actually new to me, I didn't notice the kingsmoulds had 4 arms. It's a similar small detail to how soul warrior has 4 legs

I actually knew about these weird geo rocks because of some randos. And I like the Kingsmould one lmao

Good video, would love to see more of this! I also have a few usless facts btw: 1. If you cheat all soul vessels and then bring another one together without cheats, you can have 4 vessels at once. 2. If you have Voidheart and set Kingssoul to 0 using the Debug menu, the charm becomes a bronze Dashmaster charm (wich cannot be equipped) 3. If you cheat all charm notches and then find another one on the map, you can have a maximum of 12 visible charm notches

9:35 Actually I learnt this two days ago while playing, the Pale Lurker's geo rock though was surprising knowledge for me.

This was very high quality useless information, thank you P.S another random fact I learned recently, you can banish siblings instantly by dreamnailing them

You’re right, I didn’t know about that Geo rock. And now I have to jump onto my main save, just so I can break the rock. I was under the assumption I had already broken all of them, I need to keep that true.

8:41 i think he bows to godseeker not the audience

Ironically, the minute you said the fonts I added this to my "Useful" folder which doesn't have that many videos. Having a video that tells me the fonts used in the game incase I need them in the future instantly makes this one of the most useful videos on youtube to me. Useless would have been something like "the fonts used in Hollow Knight are NOT Comic Sans and Helvetica"

I thought this was going to be another video full of facts I already knew but this blew all my expectations out of the water and I can tell you had fun making it :)

Fun fact: kingdoms edge in its early is a part of deep nest and both the old and the new is located in the east so it makes sense for the devs to not rename something the player wouldn’t usually see anyways.

9:35 When i did a randomiser, the shade cloak was hidden there, which was required to progress

Glowing womb is one of the worst? Together with Grimm child, weaver song, defender crest you can basically become a pokemon trainer and bully lost kin and fallen champion without moving (technically you need to move to hit the fallen champion once his heads pops up)

I think Zote doesn't dream tbh, which makes more sense lore-wise. Him dropping essence is just a game mechanic hold-over

I found out about that first geo rock during a randomizer. I heard a grub in there but didn't know where it was, so I noclipped around until I found it. Was baffled.

Blue: I hope you learned something new! Also blue: (just gave so much random info most of team cherry probably didn’t know about it).

Great video! Your points about game units isn't actually that useless -- it's a great example of how game/level designers turn big empty spaces into smaller divisions and challenges. Neat!

I am outraged by the lack of hive spike asset fact

Small fun fact I only found yesterday even after playing HK for over 120 hours There's a lifeblood cocoon in Greenpath right above the first Moss Knight and below the lore tablet. Fairly obvious to some but I had never found it

That's a great video! I enjoyed it very much, thank you! Another kinda useless fact I found out about today and it blew my mind: with every Dreamer you encounter, the background in their dreams gets more orange. That's a small detail but it's so cool!

Kingdom's Edge being called Deepnest_East threw me off so much when I looked through my save file to find the one piece of root essence (or something else I can't remember) that I was missing.

I'd legit watch a video that was just obscure geo rock/relic locations.

Loved this video, I knew very few of this stuff and it’s pretty amazing all the little details of this game! Congrats

I regretted saving zote so much that I straight up wrote him out of existence in my save file. Best decision of my life fr

That felt much quicker than 10 minutes

Great writing and editing, good stuff Blue !

This goes right along with the game show.

Thank you so much, I’ve actually been wondering about the game’s fonts and did not expect a straightforward answer a minute into a random video….

The sad reality of how I already knew the two geo rock spots it's that I'm a maniac that in every game I play I must complete EVERYTHING. I started this frustrating path on zombotron, back when friv was good

This was pretty neat, and I'm surprised by how many of these I didn't know. Great video Blue :D

Great video, I learned a bunch of stuff I never thought I'd wanna know but am very happy to know now

nice video! i'm surprised (and maybe a little scared) by how much of this i already knew, and also by how much i remember despite being very out of touch with HK stuff lately.

just yesterday i promised to show my friends a playthrough of hk and give random trivia while exploring, so this could not have come at a better time

5.:15 mentioning Zote's on denial and not claryfing he's not in Egypt is not the Blue i know

Lets go! The usual stream content of useless hk fun facts but longer!

The one about the text font was actually useful to me, so thanks :)

I love this so much, thanks so much for all these fun facts, Blue!

Woah those geo rocks actually kinda blew my mind for no reason

Thanks for letting me know about the book! Definitely looking at getting it

1:00 That's 5 minutes and 19 seconds, which really shows how fast walking across uninterrupted would be.

Loved the entire i recommend watch it until it ends, i promise you will feel like a sage of HK.

Thank you for those kind of videos !

For anyone, wondering, this is mostly spoiler free!

“A kingsmold has 4 arms” Damn, Skurry slander hours I guess 💀

Fun fact - Prince of Persia games also use the Trajan Pro font.

The zote one is probably a explanation to why he never got affected by the plague.

very swaggy ty for the video blue i enjoyed the useless info :]

That information alignment at the start is just sublime

9:20 This finally makes sense. I remember when I first found the Pale Lurker my volume was pretty low so when she screeched like that I got scared shitless lol.

1:04 “it takes 5 minutes for the knight to walk across hallownest” All glitches speedrunners: agreeing in breaking the game beyond its limits

Great video dude congrats

Pale Court is my favorite song in this game, and the idea that they're holding back a number of similarly produced songs is saddening.

9:28 Ha! Jokes on you, Blue, I know this geo rock location because I do 100% randomizers with all items shuffled, so I have checked that spot many times now ;)

That was really fun to watch!

I have trypophobia. That's a weird fear of holes, but it puts a shiver down my spine. I recently had a cyst in my back removed and they had to leave the wound open so that it would heal properly. I had a hole in my back that was almost an inch deep and every day I had to stand in the mirror and clean it with alcohol, then goop an antibacterial ointment into it after showering. On top of making every inch of my skin crawl, it was extremely painful. The only thing in my life that was as horrible as that was having to fight Xero/Zote back to back in the fifth pantheon. I was determined to do it because Hollow Knight is my favorite game and I wanted to platinum it out of a kind of obligation, but knowing that I would have to do it made me dread doing that boss rush every time. I don't even mind AbsRad. It was a massive roadblock, but it was fun. Markoth/Zote is just bullshit. It's crap. I don't get why they took everyone's least favorite boss, put it at the end of the final boss rush, took away the floor and then made you fight Zote right afterwards. I don't get it. Freaking why? Why would they think that was fun? And this was after they already had a chance to get feedback from their fans, so they already knew how much we all hated Markoth. I love them for creating this game in the first place, but they might just be some sadistic bastards for that bullshit. I would play the fifth pantheon every day because 95% of it is an absolute blast, but after I finally beat it I never came back again for that specific reason. Freakin patch that shit out, team vagina i mean cherry. We'll all love you for it.

Scrumptious, this the kind of content I wake up every day for

This is truly a moment of the year

Who would’ve known the most interesting fact given was a geo rock I never knew existed in 6 playthru’s

It may be useless, but very fun to hear about! cool video 11/10 💙💙💙💙💙

great content!

love the video, keep it up!

This would be great for a trivia game show

Pale lurker scared me SO HARD when i first encountered her I jumped out of my chair and almost threw gamepad away It was so ducking scary bcs of the loudness

BRO I REALLY WAS WONDERING WHAT THE FONT WAS

4:05 as a person with zote background I never noticed this

I just realized that the Broken Vessel song starts with the abyss theme

Always bothers me when people pronounce Dirtmouth wrong That said, great video and it's sad we never got those other remixes.

Yeah, a new blue upload :)

Idk if this is well known, but I encountered one random glitch that is kinda fun. You can trigger it by performing cyclone slash mid air and landing during the attack just in the moment when a boss screams so Husky is immovable. If done correctly Husky just randomly floats and gets pushed backwards infinitely till the scream animation is over, which kinda looks like he is moonwalking. Tried it out against Pure Vessel, NKG and AbsRad (+if there is an edge like in NKG or AbsRad or a wall like in PV you stop there still floating, so you're not in danger of getting any random damage by falling down)

I've actually used glowing womb *a lot.* It's surprisingly helpful. And I haven't tried this yet, but I feel like heavy blow's one use would be bullying Zote.

That spitting part of the video reminded me of when I save scummed in XCOM2, where one of my soldiers failed a 50% shot 14 times in a row, ironically he was a sniper class, this soldier was based off my best friend, so to this day we joke about his aim.

"A kingsmould has four arms."

Odd how few enemies have six limbs, considering most of em are, you know...bugs.

RU-vid always recommended me this video, and i always didn't want to waste my time watching useless facts about hk, but now i watched it, and this is actually interesting

I love these kind of videos. Just an aside question, can someone explain to me why all content creators love to insert quick unreadable text? Is this something that forces us to rewind several times and therefore watch the video longer? Or are they all call backs to Tyler Durden?

So the elder baldur thing actually happened to me on my first casual playthrough, causing me to abandon the game for another 2 years before coming back to try it again

I'm surprised by how many facts here I knew, but also how many interesting ones I didn't know, I didn't even know about the existence of the Wanderer's Journal book

Great video!

9:25 oh so that explains my minor heart attack when I encountered them initially

I found glowing womb very useful in my spell-less challenge run

joke's on you, Blue i actually DID know about those two Geo deposits why, you ask? because i legitimately spent 3 whole months of my free time going through the entire game and smacking EVERY DAMN WALL, FLOOR, AND CEILING IN THE GAME TO FIND EVERY SINGLE SECRET, HIDDEN ROOM, AND EXTRA banger vid btw

I specialize in random and useless info. So this is right up my alley.

Useless info : Normally, anywhere in the godhome, when fighting or not, taking out the map reveals nothing. However, in the eternal ordeal, it shows Kingdom's Edge.

9:30 there is also a spot in Deepnest below a spike floor close to a grub

one "game unit" in Unity is meant to be a real-life meter, so Hallownest is a couple kilometers wide.

9:40 how dare you underestimate my 20k extra geo

These 10 mins went flying
