@@samtheman1868 idk if they have watched the whole thing. but i knew if they hadnt yet. my comment would remind them of the video. the same way yours is reminding me right now. because i didnt finish it either lol. but thank you for reminding me.
@@kkTeaz Either Hornet is completely unreachable and the Knight can't be killed, or Hornet eventually dies in the egg because of the Void and the seal breaks, immediately releasing the infection on a full scale.
I was not expecting rusty cause his whole thing is to sound pissed off and vaati I just didn't expect for a hollow knight lore video I know him cause I have an immense love for the souls series that's what got me into hollow knight now I love them both
i know youre kidding and everything but i just wanted to say theres a surprising amount of people who get mad at people who 112% hollow knight and honestly its disappointing that they dont get that its not meant to be 112 percented if it makes you feel more shitty than its worth.
Bit of an explanation for why "The Knight" is considered a pure vessel: having left the kingdom and lost it's memory, The Knight no longer possesses any form of higher thought granted to it by Hallownest like other residents of the Kingdom. Therefore, as it makes its way back to the kingdom, it is doing so based on pure instinct alone, without the burden of mind. This is what makes it a Pure Vessel: as every action The Knight performs is done so with nothing but base survival instincts, which are heightened to a ridiculous degree due to its Pale Being Heritage and the fact that it's body is made of Void. However, after it obtains the void heart, it regains this memory and instead becomes something more, something different, the Lord of Shades, and unifier of the Void, which, based on the Radience's dreamnail dialogue, is it's ancient enemy, but now united and focused into a singular being, unified by it's own will. However, this is what makes Sealed Siblings the worst possible ending in the game, as A: Hornet states that overexposure to the black egg's atmosphere would probably kill her, and B: The Knight wouldn't be able to contain the Radience due to now possessing a will and a mind.
@@goli8699 Only by influence of other beings such as pale king or if it was capable of doing so in the first place. As such Vessel is only a vessel filled with void.
.. the knight is canonically considered a pure vessel? that's silly acting purely on instinct does not equal doing the trial of the fool for no reward, talking to completely random npcs like the fluke hermit, seeking out every collectible just to have them if the knight was acting on pure instinct we'd be playing a speedrun, lore and gameplay should never be so separated to the point of the intended gameplay going directly against the intended lore
I highly doubt the knight is actually hollow. It’s capable of sentiment prior to remembering its origin- it can give the delicate flower to several npcs that are important to it, and there’s no way to gain anything from the arrangement. Hell you can give one to elderbug. It is not hollow, the hollow knight wasn’t hollow either. It will fail same as its sibling.
“That place has buzzsaws?!? I want to go there!!! That seems so sick!!!” “Also, path of pain kinda sounds fun” Ah, what a small little boy. He doesn’t know what he’s doing.
@@beef3442 But there are infinite soul totems next to literally every respawn point in the Path of Pain. Infinite Soul Totems = Unlimited Soul = Unlimited Healing at every checkpoint And manually healing is much faster than Hiveblood. Hiveblood is completely redundant here.
"The average attention span of a RU-vid viewer is 9 minutes" Me, with ADHD, who constantly consumes 30+ minute long videos and vods: I guess I'm an outlier
If you do decide to speedrun the game, I recommend no major glitches for most speedrun videos, and for speedrunning in general, but for a video titled "Hollow Knight Speedruns in 2021 are insane" a glitch run would probably be more interesting. But that's just my opinion, feel free to do whatever you prefer!
The vessels being basically zombie children not only explains why our knight is so short, but also why the White Lady regrets her involvement so much. And why the Hollow Knights could grow larger. Dead void kids; low key breaks my heart.
me too! i was playing the game with a friend and when we reached the Lady, both of us had a moment where we just... let her conversation stall, because the character right in front of her is one of her babies. It never got to be a full individual, but it was her baby, just like all of our siblings across the Abyss floor and our sibling in the Black Egg. This game makes me so emotional about a zombie baby bug, i love it so much 💜
Favorite moments 2:42:00 around this time: 1) “I called my sister ‘chat’ once” 2) I”, POINTCROW, WILL SAVE. THAT. GRUB!!! Oh it’s a mimic? Never mind. Wait it’s not a mimic? I WILL SAVE THAT GRUB-“
2:36:04 Carpal Tunnel happens at any age... It's not some old person thing. It's actually somewhat more common now since it's quite simple to get from poor hand position or just a long time at the keyboard/controller. You should probably look into it more yourself as your profession is one of the more common ones to get it.
Ooooh. If Crow goes deeper into the Hollow Knight youtube fandom, we might see him collab with fireb0rn or Skurry and that's some pretty epic stuff. Imagine seeing him in one of the fireb0rn's Hunter vs Seeker challenges
good idea! I'll put that in the idea book. We're currently dealing with some backlog right now, so when we're at present day we'll be able to up QOL things -crow
something i think is interesting to note about the hollow knight lore is that all names of places and enemies are based on what the knight knows, take for example the soul master his dream variant is called soul tirant because the knight found out that the soul master killed hundreds of bugs just for experiments. another example is broken vessel, the knight in its original battle sees it as just a broken vesel but at the end of the fight the vessel reaches out for its sibling and thus the knight knew who it really was explaining the dream variant name lost kin. im mentioning this because the name city of tears is most likely indeed not the city’s original name but got that name from the fact that the knight saw its endless rain out there which reminded it of tears thus giving the city of tears as name.
Well, the maggots in their entirety are cowards, but this maggot tried to protect the others, so I'm not sure if it was entirely cowardly. I do agree stealing a knight's armour is not right though.
"save grubs not frames." I actually think saving that grub is a few frames faster. If you time it right, the knockback from the nail pushes you backwards slightly, saving some time. Fireborn is just that evil. 2:42:22
And thus pointcrow attuned his feble mind to the higher being that is mossbag. With mossbags guidance his mind grew strong and evolved, he is now one of us.
"I'm pretty sure I don't have carpal tunnel at 23" HAH I've had carpal tunnel since I was 18 and only recently had carpal tunnel release surgery. The wrists of an artist see some abuse...
You get the ending where you fight the radience by finding both pale beings, (white Lady + pale King) and then going back to the birthplace, there you Will United the void and it Will be your ally, the rest, is up to you...
Can we get Pointcrow to play Noita. There are hundreds of secrets, a great soundtrack and art design, an insane wand building system, and a shit ton of chaos.
I think it isn't called the "true" ending because the dream no more ending was there before Godmaster dlc and the community already called the other ending the "true" ending
My favorite bit from this video is the full circle of “I haven’t played cyberpunk, but I’ve watched its anime adaptation, edgerunners!” To “I haven’t played undertale, but I’ve watched it’s anime adaptation: cyberpunk edgerunners” to “yeah I’ve almost beaten sans”
If it hasn't been suggested already one challenge I've been doing in to go into the city of tears as late as possible in the game and only once while also getting as high a completion percent as possible. it's definitely fun seeing how interconnected the world is even without the midgame hub - kingdom's edge is horrible with no nail upgrades though, lol
pointcrow: "path of pain seems fun" me: laughs before breaking down into tears due to having finished the path of pain and the buzzsaws will forever haunt me Also godhome is fun and radiance is easy I've beat it 55 times in tottal but I still can't get to absrad because of the stupid moth that takes away the stupid floor even though I've beat radiant NKG and PV
Having beaten everything in game beside NKG and the pantheons, this comment terrifies me lmao. Legit took years of coming back to the radiance to finally catch a W
I can kind of handle Markoth unless his movement is super scuffed, what's been screwing over my PoH runs has been Zote. Yeah, I could just start a Godmaster file and do P5 without him that way, but at this point it's really the principle of the thing, you know?
@@Rowantale skipping zote in p5 feels fake... I can normaly pass markoth but then I'm left at around 4 masks for Zote and he kills me and then I get really mad to be unable to play the game for a while so now it's ending up to only 1 attempt per day ahhhh
It was fun watching your comentary to the videos, i hope ur commentsection wont have any demotevating comments in the future. Keep it up and good luck in future endeavors, much love
I'm physically unable to pause the White Defender song because it's so good, so I still don't know if Mossbag hid a joke in the unanswered questions bit
I think the reason that there were so many vessels could be because when two higher beings (let alone pale beings) do the naughty and have children, birth defects could come into play. Some offspring would just die otherwise we would have swarms of higher pale beings running around. Maybe the power was too much to bare for some vessels. That asleep explains why there are piles of bodies just around the egg.
Yay finally I can't find the orginal streams in order on twitch because he has streamed hollow knight after he played something else or the reddit thing
