the path of pain music is what you hear when you realize that he had to get the delicate flower and come all the way over here every time he made a little mistake
to be fair, itd be easier to get the flower to the palace grounds than it would be to get it to the traitor's child's grave. less unavoidable enemies, and a shorter trek
@@mistergray9664 I swear the counter let’s you shade cloak through it only like half the time Sometimes it hits and sometimes it doesn’t Best to avoid hitting it so yes that was close
@@IndyJacksonTT if you time it properly it won't hit. The counter is much easier to shade dash through because PV doesn't swing their nail way back on the follow through like during their combo attack.
@@IndyJacksonTT maybe it's a spacing thing for me. If you start the shade dash while standing right in front of PV it works much better than if you try to dash through his attack while he's coming at you. Or at least that's an explanation I can think of for why I find dashing through the counter easier.
In a final test of worthiness, the Pale King makes the trek to where his child resides, to see his strength for himself. On defeating the vessel he now deems truly hollow, the king reminisces on a past memory of earlier in training, a moment with his son
I wish this actually was Pure Vessel’s location in the vanilla game. It makes so much sense lore wise, as if it was trying to stop you from witnessing the reason of the failure of Hallownest due to its love for the Pale King, aka its father. I love that thought so much.
imagine not getting your comment hearted by The Lumos himself. He must hate you. smh my head. im literally best friends with The Lumos, he says he hates you. never ever never ever think you will be loved by The Lumos. its honestly a shame that you have a youtube account that hasn't got a heart from The Lumos. hears a little quote for you by The Lumos - "Stop watching this video, i hate you. this is a truly quote that i said being The Lumos. I am The Lumos. #IamTheLumos." - The Lumos. This quote clearly represents the way that The Lumos feels towards your comment. This is truly heart breaking and its quite frankly sad to watch. i think that The Lumos hates you enough to even dislike the comment. that is just a shame. Lumos hate you probably. :sadface:. this is not good. i think because of this tragedy, you should just restart and purge you account, although i think The Lumos will always find you no matter where you hide. truly sad. i truly feel bad for you bad for, im sorry for your loss and i hope you get well soon. ❤😥🙏🤝🐈⬛🐟👁👄👁💰🥗🪤🗻 get well soon.❤😥🙏🤝🐈⬛🐟👁👄👁💰🥗🪤🗻 P.S take a trip to mount Fuji to clear you mind 🗻🗻🗻🗻🗻🗻🗻🗻🗻🗻🗻🗻🗻🗻🗻🗻🗻🗻🗻🗻🗻🗻🗻🗻🗻🗻🗻🗻🗻🗻🗻 spot the odd one out. sad
I agree. Would have been perfect placement and also just quite cool in general. Or maybe just at the end of white palace. As having such a big boss hidden away wouldn’t make much sense
@@_lumos4029 I spent 3+ hours going through this for the first time just so the Kingsmoulds could kill me, and I felt like my whole world just ended right there but then I did the whole thing in like 10ish minutes right after so there is definitely some truth to that.
You: I bring you this flower that was taken through the most treacherous of landscapes, I went through blades to give you this flower. Please, madam, would you go on a date with me? Her: How tall are you again?
“And here we see the Pale King, in his natural habitat, amongst the buzzsaws and Thorns. You can see how majestic he is, strolling through his daily routine to get to his progeny, The Hollow Knight, and spend some time with them. He courses through this habitat like a slithering snake coming out of his hiding hole in the Monsoon, or even like a sly cat performing parkour over the shelves. If anyone even tries to get through his natural habitat in order to see the memories of him and his progeny having a bond, they will suffer an Eternal Ordeal of Pain, or in short, the Path that is full of Pain, hence, the habitat’s name, the Path of Pain. Our executive spies, the Vessels from The Abyss tried to get through his natural habitat of buzzsaws and thorns to meet him, ask him that why did he chose The Hollow Knight over them, but to no avail we could not get information from the spy Vessels, as we lost connection with them.” *No Vessels were harmed during the making of this Documentary* *Nat Geo Theme Intensifies*
In terms of gameplay it makes so much more sense to have the Pure Vessel at the the end instead of the two kingsmoulds that are really easy once you learn that you can just DDark them twice, a few nail swongs and that's it.
to know that something that took me 6 hours to get through the first time can be completed in less than 3 minutes HITLESS and a boss that took me a year to beat can be done in barley 2 minutes humbles me completely.
pale king : ahhh what a nice way to start ones day going through my palce and sparing with my son but seriously damn good job dude edited: wow i forgot i made this comment thanks for the likes
@@jackrussell1165 Its definitely tricky, its just once you play it a few times it becomes not tooooo bad compared to some other challenges. Its sorta like nkg, it is really hard the first few times but its really pattern based and it becomes muscle memory
Un día normal de paseo para el rey en su palacio blanco, me pregunto cuanto sufrió su hijo todas las veces que recorrió el sendero del dolor Mames yo creo que así jugaba. El rey pálido con su hijo recorriendo el traicionero camino
Ofc those toddlers aren’t in mc it would require actual skills and creativity. Fire born stands in their way lol. Imagine if pale king just tried to make it up to THK after everything with the flower kinda like « here »
pov: he forgets his suitcase also, a really good explanation for the saws and thorns is since this is a dream realm, this is the pale king's dreams, and so the thorns and saws represent his regrets.
Pale king coming to punish his best vessel cause the pure vessel broke the biggest buzzsaw lol. He can do the path of pain super well cause HE IS THE PALE KING HIMSELF!
“My king, this seems so convoluted and unnecessary just for the path to your throne room. Couldn’t you just build an army of Kingsmoulds to protect the palace?” *”No cost too great.”*
If our knight could talk, i could just imagine a line pale king would say to him: Back in my day, i used to walk through the path of pain just to get to work...
"My king, how do you wish to protect your palace?, should we make more kingsmoulds and make them guard it?" "Nah, fuck that, put massive sawblades and thorns everywhere with the only way past being an intricate planned movement that no bug in the entirety of hallownest is capable of performing."
Excuse me? As someone who was stuck at that final buzz saw and spear section, there’s the fucking Pure Vessel at the end?! And you need to restart when you die?! Aaaaaaaaaaaah!!!!!
Pale King: "Ah what a beautiful day it is in my perfect kingdom! My subjects admire me, the radiance is contained, and I really love the sound of chainsaw in th- Oh hi Son!" Hollow Knight: "Get out of my room dad!" Plae King: "Oh don't be shy son! Atleast you're room is well guarded! Even your siblings that escapes the abyss had a hard time getting in your room!" ... Me a vessel: (Struggling to even finish the normal way up the palace, much less do the path of pain)
