This is unnecessaryly depressing, I think we all hate team cherry for infecting Myla instead of saving her by putting her in the unaffected crystal peaks
On my first playthrough, I went to Myla every time I finished a really challenging boss, platform challenge, or just wanted to relax. I would help her mine and hum the song with her. I would even do it while in a call with friends and we had a good laugh about how she was my favorite character. Only now do I realize why they were laughing. But I'm glad they did that, it made me feel a sense of dread and the real cost of this game. And this only makes it even more heartbreaking.
When I was younger I hated fighting and I would sit with myla the whole time, to scared to leave, that’s why I had 15 hours of play time with no progress
i spent so much time with myla just listening to her humming, reading her dialogue and smiling. i came back to the infection starting in her, and i convinced myself that she wouldnt really succumb to it. after getting all 3 dreamers, i went to check on her, and she attacked me. in a panic i killed her. i was genuinely devastated
@@osciemon You also can't control the Shade Lord in you so Shade Lord grabs Godseeker then Godseeker eyes turn black until the void touches the flower and just like that Hollow Knight is released and scares hornet so she grabs her needle. What a happy ending (:
I felt like part of the point was that there is no "perfect vessel" Something I don't see talked about ever is why the knight pushes forward. It's not just some animal surviving, it is trying to achieve some goal.
You know, I think it’s really possible that after you kill the radiance she goes back to normal the way Sly and Bretta do (assuming that you don’t kill her.)
Knowing windette, I thought it would end with him coming back after crystal heart and yell “JUST KIDDING YOU LITTLE B****!” And shade soul myla into oblivion
@@mychannelisdiedbyyoutube9632 for Myla, dive is the trigger for the start and the trigger for her becoming an enemy is cdash. Also, you forgot Monarch wings also triggers infected crossroads.
When you realize that there is a way to keep myla alive and beat the game. What? You think I did it? Hell no! I’m not dashing, fireballing and nail pogoing a tiny area no bigger than my body all at once! And that’s only the first step. After that, it gets worse. The only people who can abuse their shell that much and still walk the next day are speed runners!
..sometimes i pass her, I always wait for to hear her song.. but it never comes. That feeling of dread then comes next, as i hear the pickaxe still hitting away at the wall. Then, it happens. I remember what happened, and what is happening. It hurts to go down those small platforms, and see her standing at the end, hitting away at the wall, no longer singing. But in the end, i bring myself to do it. Every run, every time. Because i know why i have to. When we beat the game, the infection has been rumored to rob bugs of their memories, so who’s to say she would even wake the same as she was before? For her and other bugs to wake with no remaining memories, would be a nightmare to them. To wake and not even recall their name or friends.. to me, a pale blade is a quicker, simple, and better fate then what’s to come of them. Yes, they will live, but at what cost? All of hollownest would’ve been dead, fallen apart, and lost. The king, is dead. The queen, hiden. The kingdom, palace, gone. Myla, would be gone… yet What remains of her now, is a husk of her, something she *isn’t* … that’s why i kill her. That’s why i draw my blade. Not to be a monster, a murderer, however you shall put it. I killed her, so she could be free. Call me what you will, call me what you want. But i did it for her. Not me, not anyone. *Her.*
That first time I went through the caves and met Myla, that song she sung, as odd as it was, was the first and only hint of the civilization that once existed in these halls. Before the Light took everything away. That song became my safety. My reason to continue. My promise that, after all this was done, healing could begin. then...on my way through the caves, as I had done so many times before, I found something that chilled me to my core. I found silence. I saw her. no longer swinging at the rock. no longer singing. no longer jovial. I saw, in her eyes, a deafening lack of her. i couldn't do it. even after her dreams ended. even after her form moved against me. i couldn't do it. all is lost in these lands. all that is left to do is to dim the Light and let them all finally rest.
Oh god, why is this so sad. :C It may be stupid but I kept her alive in the hopes the death of the Radiance would cure her and no one can stop me from thinking it does. D
I accidentally heard about Myla in one of the many HK videos I watch before I did everything. I still haven't gone and spoken to her after getting 111% (Damned P4 still getting the better of me)
This raises an interesting question: once the Radiance is defeated, what happens to the infected bugs? Do they die because that was what was keeping them "alive", or can ones that had life before getting infected return to living normally?
Currently on my PC playthrough, I'm at the point where Myla stops mining and her eyes have become orange. I sat there for a good five minutes, I genuinely feel like I'm gonna cry :(
Normal people: Oh God why is this unavoidable Fireb0rn: Have you ever learned the legend of Isma's Tear Skip the Slow? It's not a story a normal speedrunner would tell you...
