It's more of a back-crawl? Idk it's weird but it also says that she IS fully a weaver , but seriously all we saw in her actions is silk :/ ( bout her weaveriness ? )
Hornet also back-steps in Hollow Knight during both of her fights. she doesn't go all arachnid mode, but she still moves backwards at times in an attempt to dodge your attacks
@@captnbassbeard little known fact, there is a one in 1,000,000 chance when you download Hollow Knight for all the music files to be replaced with random Kevin MacLeod music. There's someone out there listening to the classic tomfoolery sneaking music during the Radiance fight.
it's not infected yet the globs it's firing is just orange flavored jello(the knight is allergic to orange the fruit(hence damage)) I can't believe you didn't know this. Clearly you aren't a true hollow knight fan
To be honest I feel like the back-step evade move could’ve actually been a pretty cool technique if implemented a little better into the level designs of fights
@@gemstonegynoid7475 Huh? But you just dashed away... what are you hitting that can't be matches by tapping in the direction you need? Options can lead to clutter, and redundant options are a problem. This isn't always true, but with how simple the base combat is... and how hard it gets... this backdash would be for all intents and purposes redundant or get in the way. You'd be harming yourself using it... which is something a player shouldn't ever face. What can the backdash do the regular dash can't? It would just be a bad habit for the player... offering the player less. By having the dash be a single option means you have perfect control over it so rather then forming a bad habit then you get a new skill which universally applies its effect in every way better and gives the player the ability to learn and plan around it as a whole. Yes, back stepping would be a frustrating thing that punishes you. ...and that is likely PART of the reason it was removed, you still have the option via the normal dash. More isn't always more fun, it can be significantly worse and punish the player.
I think a big part of it being removed is that players would always use it to get places faster, so before getting dash the Knight would be going backwards all the time which would look goofy as hell
I might just be stupid but I've always imagine The Radiance's influence to kind of be like Nosk. It goes into your memories and instead of taking someone it takes something you want and uses it to trick you into joining them. I think this because of Myla. Myla wanted riches from the crystals. Then the crystals start singing to her. I took this as The Radiance is using her DREAMS of wealth as an incentive. I always thought this is what dreams meant but I'm probably wrong.
I think Elderbug's dialogue was an early in idea of Hornet's story. Her and the Hollow Knight are siblings so maybe the singing was a shared memory of Midwife/White Lady singing to them. Hollow Knight may have been calling out to Hornet as he knew he was becoming weaker. Hornet did technically lose both of her parents to the ruins as their deaths happened around the same time as the fall of Hallownest. She also "lost" her brother when he was sealed in the egg.
Isn’t she the only gendered child, though? The Hollow Knight wouldn’t be her brother, because it isn’t male. Although, Team Cherry might not have gotten that far into the lore yet so you could be right anyway
really had no idea how much of a community this game had when i first played it - but man, one of the kindest, coolest, and funniest groups ive ever been apart of, love you all, even those damn aussies on team cherry
Mossbags chanel ends when he runs out of the game voice lines to put in his intros Edit: I've made soooooo many clever jokes and comments in the past and this shit is what gets me to half a thousand likes not gona say that I didn't expect that but I shoot am disappointed
4:10 my theory is the dirtmouth stag station was built before dirtmouth was founded, probably as a stag station to the entrance of the crystal peak mines (there was probably a bridge at the bit where you're supposed to crystal dash). so after hallownest fell, bugs wanting to explore the ruins naturally gathered and built up a town around the stag station
Honestly, while I think Hollow Knight is a really good game, I think the most joy I've gotten from playing it has been from being able to fully enjoy your very niche content about it.
Goddamn it, that "weird empty pit" tricked me so hard. I remember it standing out to me because it seemed so odd and out of place. I tried destroying the floor with my nail, nope. Later, when I got the dive, I remembered that pit. Tried the dive on the pit, nothing. Later, got the shadow dive, and I was like "ahh this will probably break that pit". Nope. All this time and it turns out it was just an unused spike pit?! At least my intuition was right that it was out of place lmao
The girl elderbug was talking about was probably hornet because she lost her mother and her brother (the hallow knight) and we know she left hallow nest
13:25 Quirrel actually uses this dialogue in the final release. You have to find him in the Mantis Village; the easiest way I’ve been able to do this is by entering the lower portion of Mantis Village and immediately jumping out. Afterwards, he can be found on the platform just outside the village.
Hidden Station was added in Hidden Dreams after the game came out, so the pale king doodle on the map + station marker in the beta version seems to imply that it was removed during development but then readded later in Hidden Dreams, and I'm curious why.
13:13 i got a Pringles ad right after the sound of the final hit and it started with a crunch which perfectly lined up with the other two sounds before it.
I have a deep fondness for Scheming Weasel. A RU-vidr I used to watch a decade ago used Scheming Weasel all the time, and whenever I hear it I can see one of his videos playing in my head. Good times, good times
One thing I’m glad they changed about the beta is the Vengefly King sound effect. It’s more distorted than Grubs when you run away right after you free them
lol, after I beat Hollow Knight on 100% recently I went through all your videos and watched them all, from oldest to newest, and subbed. Thanks for making so much content man, also really appreciate how you always end each video with a joke. Also congrats on you for finally meeting Team Cherry back in Australia!
im pretty sure that the masks looked the same because they also looked the same in hungry knight, a game that team cherry made in 2014 for a game jam that sported similar character designs to hollow knight
Bag Lord just give us another blessing with Q U A L I T Y C O N T E N T L O R D. So just don't say "first", instead, let's P R A Y T H E M O S S G O D A N D G O R B
