[wind fern]

[rugged wolf]

How I think general progression will go for the first half of the game. (Due to the moss grotto fall on the map, and a bench marked "Halfway Home")

[worn bison]

There is a part where hornet kisses woman

[dark panther]

do you think hornet is void?

[dreamy cloud]

Hi lore channel

[cedar arrow]

sounds about right honestly

[river coyote]

Lace may be a child, not looking good for the people that want that 6 hour scene

[rain pebble]

the article said there would be lots of backtracking

[gilded ivy]

THIS IS SO PEAK

[stone grove]

SPOILERS!!!!!

SK protagonist is ||Hornet||

[tawdry flare]

No this is just Hornet hating

[indigo turtle]

I think that Hornet is silk

[upper copper]

WAIT hornet is gonna talk??

[frosty turret]

So what's the start location

[spare monolith]

The chats going so fast I can’t read anything

[olive peak]

no way!!

[austere folio]

I WANT MY YURI NOOO

[lament basalt]

So kissing bug will be the final boss, right?

[amber bridge]

wasnt there justa second of map shown in the trailer

[dreamy cloud]

pretty big

[shadow plaza]

17

[scarlet shuttle]

Lore already popping offf

[river coyote]

Hornet is old as fuck so it might just be because of that

[obsidian barn]

Silksong

[tough rapids]

GUYS THIS IS THE MOST IMPORTANT SILKSONG THEORY OUT THERE.
LOOK AT THE NAME OF THIS LOCATION.

[wheat ocean]

If it's Silk, it's Song

[violet dust]

I googled ss lore but it showed me something about 1939

[foggy crown]

Best moment of the trailer

[flint crescent]

So silksong will follow any ending from hollow knight or the story in the past?

[burnt nymph]

WE HAVE CRAFTINGGGGGGG

[main orchid]

we upgrade something with this character

[tranquil badger]

Heck yeah punch that thing

[viral dock]

wait, hornet will activally speak!!??!?!

[timid juniper]

tf is THAT?

[odd jackal]

skilk skong

[shadow plaza]

kissing bug is homophobic

[flat hearth]

Really hard to tell from the screenshot. How big is HK map in comparison?

[abstract carbon]

Hornet dies in the end of Silksong

[marsh monolith]

are we deadass we already have a lore channel

[cedar arrow]

I think bro was like tryna give hornet a kiss but got rejected

[lime rain]

They actually marry at the end

[tawdry flare]

Shellwood. I knew I wasn't crazy. SILKSONG WILL HAVE ZOTE'S FAMILY!!!

[rugged wolf]

ooh

[viral dock]

i think its just the new pale ore matireal

[north sonnet]

map discussion

[lime rain]

Probably

[amber bridge]

my thoughts goes towards the yuri enjoyers

[ruby grotto]

SHAW LORE

[tawdry flare]

No it's for upgrading tools

[shy magnet]

maybe it gives you more tool durability

[charred wagon]

Hornet is the knight

[river coyote]

• Mind to Think
• Voice to Cry Suffering

[tranquil badger]

It’s nice finally getting to see how the areas connect

[lament saffron]

Reminder that HORNET IS SHAWIMMING

[random sorrel]

I guess this is an ice area

[burnt nymph]

im guessing there's gonna be more unique tools

[lofty pelican]

https://tenor.com/view/hornet-hollow-knight-hollow-knight-hollowknight-gif-13824312416185164655

[river coyote]

Massive upgrade from the last game

[terse wadi]

Queen ending my favourite

[lapis creek]

Zote's weapon is made out of Shellwood....

[burnt nymph]

woner if hornet gets a shade

[formal imp]

in lace's mother we trust

[viral dock]

so much suffering and so much voice to say shaw

[orchid smelt]

*hopefully no isma's tear

[dapper shadow]

e

[tough rapids]

I basically now figure whoever Zote's father was, was disappointed in Zote and potentially kicked out of his home, so he tried becoming something he wasn't in order to make his father proud. So he made a nail out of shellwood and ventured off to somewhere that didn't know him. AKA, Hallownest.

[tawdry flare]

That's Spore Monastery

[keen basin]

I wonder how many tools we'll be able to use

[lean mango]

LORE FACT:
Hornet is moldovian.

[grizzled wing]

guys when does the game release

[north sonnet]

my favorite area is dirty docks

[keen basin]

Plot twist hornet with a glock

[tough rapids]

Or at least, that's the theory I got rn. Anyways Imma disappear now.

[lime rain]

Or maybe its ash like in kingdoms edge?

[lean mango]

September 4

[severe siren]

Did someone say Spore Monastery

[river coyote]

2 weeks

[split holly]

first we mine then we craft, let's Silksong!

[odd jackal]

good god the absolute shockwave that comes off when she hits him how much force is behind that slap 😭

[tawdry flare]

No..

[burnt nymph]

[odd jackal]

silksong in one fortnite

[spark valve]

weird

[cedar arrow]

You gotta resign it probably

[hearty tendon]

i was here

[upper vigil]

wait so this is much bigger than hk

[rugged wolf]

spore-filled area maybe? judging by the slope clip from april

[river coyote]

Hornet in Fortnite

[idle quiver]

Is lace an actual child or is hornet just really old

[steel slate]

Big map

[azure wind]

Pretty sure she’s just insulting lace

[silent kestrel]

beautiful chandelier in the bg

[river coyote]

Probably not

Idk

[little sonnet]

silksong

[fair owl]

I... actually cant speak in any other channels for sum reason -_-

[lime rain]

Both i think

[warm chasm]

SLOPES ARE HERE LESFUCKINGO

[little sonnet]

cool pfp

[shut shale]

Zote is from pharloom?? Did they travel to hallownest by boat? A zote boat?????

[burnt nymph]

why we french reaecting everyone now

[frosty turret]

Are they lovers?...

[cedar arrow]

I feell like Bellheart is going to be the location of the final boss like how there was the black egg temple

[odd jackal]

hornet is a couger confirmed

[river coyote]

Thanks I’m Irish Knight

[lime rain]

Who is frenching? A romance brother?

[north sonnet]

very possible especially because this is just the presumably early game areas

[little sonnet]

hell yeah

[river coyote]

Worse they’re stupid

[dire sinew]

hello tammo

[violet dust]

Soooo... SS lore...

[dark root]

Hornet is void

[tough rapids]

Mmmmmmm... Maybe. ;)

[upper vigil]

:DDDD

[ebon prawn]

Hornet is SHAW

[frosty turret]

No, really I need an answer😭

[hollow fog]

Oh this one is opened?

[lime rain]

They are enemies

[river coyote]

Probably not, we’ll have to wait

[odd jackal]

"enemies"

[steady notch]

Ennemies

[river coyote]

Enemies to Lovers

[spark valve]

hello

[spring needle]

Enemies

[blissful harbor]

omg ss lore???

[cedar arrow]

great now we're gonna get doomed yuri
-# need

[tawdry flare]

Okay Well. I am leaving the server. I will not think until September 4th. Good bye Chat.

[ivory galleon]

Discussion is going crazy

[languid hollow]

Gulp

[frosty turret]

Do we have the timeline?

[crimson flax]

skong

[nimble haven]

that one dude in the trailer:

[shy magnet]

timeline of what

[languid hollow]

LMAO

[north sonnet]

this area could insinuate half of pharloom (or just the accessible areas) are left/right or up/down from here

[shy magnet]

where is this from bro

[steady notch]

HK then HK Silksong

[frosty turret]

Everything, but mostly ss

[nimble haven]

its from star wars 😭

[hollow fog]

The new stamps are so good

[shy magnet]

ofc

[delicate osprey]

Ss lore

[steady notch]

Go away Rémi you're not fooling anyone

[cedar arrow]

seeing greymoor has me thinkin we may have sumthin similar to the flower quest...

[elfin shard]

silking and songing

[shy magnet]

ss lore already clears that fradulent hk lore

[blissful raptor]

this is a joke

[river coyote]

Please god no

[nimble haven]

like geniune comedy when hornet did that slap, i cannot wait to see the rest of the intercations in this game

[shy magnet]

yes probably

[north sonnet]

since we can see at least this much area and that there's a new map color at the very left edge it's possible that this visible area is less than half of pharloom/accessible areas width-wise

[nimble haven]

https://tenor.com/view/war-1000-yard-stare-gif-10147302364842942579

[shy magnet]

well we probably finish hk, then hornet gets captured

[north sonnet]

could be up or down as well however

[river coyote]

I thought it was gonna be a prequel

[elfin shard]

map big asf

[cedar arrow]

no cause silksong is a prequel just incase you forgot

[shy magnet]

nothing says its going to be a prequel

[shy magnet]

where did you get this

[green charm]

It’s bait

[nimble haven]

the flower quest is genuinely like the only reason i am not touching steel soul mode

[ornate flicker]

I can't wait for us to get the lore

[lament saffron]

Tower on the right, and a bridge going left. It's level with what appears to be a flat segment on the left side of that same map, no?

[cedar arrow]

it is?

[shy magnet]

unless we recently got some new info ss is not a prequel

[granite acorn]

thats ss's map?

[hasty halo]

ye

[steady notch]

They're really highlighting the fact that we're ascending in this game
As opposed to HK where we mostly descend

[spring needle]

I left many things inconclused in hk now that i remember...
That's one of those

[green charm]

I’m not touching steel soul because I don’t hate myself

[granite acorn]

why does it look so famillar with hk's map?

[river coyote]

Hornet is gonna reach the surface then get squashed by a human, the end

[nimble haven]

hollow knight zoteboat we progress in a straight line 🔥

[civic echo]

yea like the same

[hasty halo]

same style

[spring needle]

Only to ascend again...

[undone lagoon]

Moss bag is about to cook with this game

[shy magnet]

i saw that in the trailer they said that we will 'restore the kingdom'
so im really wondering what the goal of ss is

[river coyote]

Why change a winning formula

[frosty turret]

Imagine if there's gonna be an elevator that says ASCEND into the ruins

[green charm]

In Hollow Knight: Willohwoods, we go Dennisways for the whole game

[nimble haven]

yeah i have 112% ive beaten path of pain and 5th patheon im good pretty much

[cedar arrow]

I feel that steelsoul for silksong would probably be called steelsilk cause SS

[civic echo]

multiple towns mean we gonna teleport or what?

[elfin shard]

save people from the silk curse?

[shy magnet]

silk curse?

[odd jackal]

stitched together the two shots of the map

[green charm]

There’s fast travel, the bell beast
I assume they’ll function like the Last Stag

[spring needle]

Lucky

In these weeks left i could try to finish my things

[nimble haven]

https://tenor.com/view/hollow-knight-hollow-knight-meme-willmare-willmare-hollow-knight-meme-gif-11713669638405176451

[elfin shard]

i remember in the trailers theres like strings attached to some enemies

[rough siren]

[steel slate]

Is this bigger than the first game’s map?

[river coyote]

Jesus that’s huge

[green charm]

Looks like it, and there’s definitely areas that haven’t been showcased yet

[swift marsh]

why am i getting myself spoiledd!!!!!

[north sonnet]

that could point to a left-right halfway split yeah the elevation is similar to the very left area that could insinuate a straight path that the bugs canonically take to get from left to right through pharloom the most easily and then set up an area halfway through to rest at

[shy magnet]

its confirmed to have over the benches of hk so we can expect it to be atleast quite a bit bigger

[steel slate]

And this is before any sort of dlc

[jolly rose]

We detain the skong

[frosty turret]

iirc phalroom even kidnapped her for that specific reason but idr if that's true

[odd jackal]

we were told by tc a while ago that bell beast is the equivelant to last stag, however you wont get fast travel when you first encounter the bell beast. she is also a mini boss

[elfin shard]

like in here you can see strings going upwards so maybe we're going up to free them from some puppet master or sm

[nimble haven]

yeah it took me around 2 weeks to finally master the 5th pantheon (albeit i did do most of the bosses on radiant difficulty beforehand) but i believe you can do it 🔥

[lament saffron]

Issue is the middle trench. Left side might be more 'wild' area, with an ascendable canyone separating it from a more metropolitan right side?

[odd jackal]

this is a tiny snippet of the mal

[green charm]

Honestly I like that much better, as opposed to paying

[spring needle]

Thanks

[cedar arrow]

It took me long to realize this but the travel buddy we have is that of the things that would come up from the ground in mainly groups n attack from Deepnest

[steel slate]

These areas feel like they’re separated between an upper and lower half

[ivory galleon]

Finally

[real laurel]

maybe the silksong was the friends we made along the way

[raven violet]

void at the end of the reveal trailer

[nimble haven]

calling it its got to be either the doing of a weaver or a wyrm thats ruler of pharloom similar to pale king

[lapis creek]

unimportant

[amber bridge]

needs to be pinned

[elfin shard]

more wyrm lore would be goated

[steel slate]

Is deep docks the lava area?

[stray fog]

Yes

[vale prawn]

The shop having an item that allows you to craft is so cool

[mortal skiff]

Honestly tho, the feeling of finally playing this game and KNOWING that there will be EVEN more things in the future...it's insane.

[frosty turret]

pharloom feels like it's advanced technology type of kingdom

[amber bridge]

thats like 9-ish new maps, and they feel at least a third/quarter big as the original HK. Imagine how big it actually is...

[shy magnet]

pretty sure its bone bottom iirc

[lament saffron]

Hunter's March has a similar Elevation Match to 2/3rds up The Marrow. Seems like there's a third Elevation in Bellheart that connects it to both Shellhome and Grey Moor. Vertically ascending the map seems big, as finding these elevations seems to be what allows you to traverse horizontally from one area to the other.

[ivory galleon]

Its like white palace but modern

[jolly rose]

We detain the skong 🇫🇷

[frosty turret]

Why people are putting France flags?

[amber bridge]

whats with the france and romania flags 😭

[compact pelican]

This channel will soon be my new home

[ivory galleon]

Some kinda agenda i think

[nimble haven]

yess, they're just below literal gods like the radiance and the shade lord in terms of the hierachy of powerful beings in hollow knight, it'd be weird if they didnt expand on them since they're seemingly so important

[cedar arrow]

When it came to the map for some reason I thought it would be like super huge that they cup it up into sections and each area had its own map or something that you would have to look at

[lime rain]

Romance brother, please understand we are all sharing silksong

[green charm]

Agreed

[mortal skiff]

I wonder if the "Hunter's March" will be an area MUCH more focused on combat encounters than most others, considering how straightforward it seems to be.

[karmic horizon]

[stray fog]

These 3 structures might be connected

[steel slate]

Crazy how this is just 9 areas with several more visible at the edges

[edgy stone]

Can we use this channel as actual discussion?

[dark root]

Maybe something in the style of the dreamers

[pseudo geyser]

might be where crests are

[frosty turret]

Fast travel maybe?

[green charm]

I buy it
What do you think they are? Weaver graves, maybe?

[karmic horizon]

omg yeah

[cedar arrow]

the 3 songs maybe

[deep elk]

Dreamer situation perhaps?

[tropic seal]

Oh it's calm here thank god

[thin ocean]

woaha

[amber bridge]

actually, I also had this thought when I first saw it but didnt want to voice it and come off selfish, but since you mentioned it: I do think its obv a lot bigger than the map gives it justice to, given maps are a miniature version of how long it actualyl takes to get places etc.

[green charm]

That’s pretty sparse for fast travel, you think there’d be more spots

[north sonnet]

the areas on the map do look pretty undeveloped yeah there seem to be tons of pools and lakes in shellwood i imagine that would make it more dangerous to traverse, looking at just greymoor there seems to be more really thought out architecture there which could theoretically continue to the right

the areas being split on a developmental basis would also have a bonus of being very cool

[nimble haven]

probably to do with the weavers or perhaps those bells we've been seeing

[edgy stone]

Yeah I imagine the map is actually at least 2-3x the scale of hollow knight since each room has to be larger for hornet

[deep elk]

Absolute cinema!

[amber bridge]

maybe someone can scale the actual walking/dashing minute it takes to get to one place to another using the old HK map and compare the size w the silksong one?

[green charm]

I think the pins that look like golden beetle shells are the fast travel markers, seeing as there’s one in/near every town

[karmic horizon]

Maybe specific points to travel to, what else could it be

[lapis creek]

and a lot of it seems to not be unlocked, e.g. the thing underneath bellhart

[ivory galleon]

Discussion is tweaking

[stray fog]

There is one in deep docks, so they could be bells

[green charm]

Where the crests are, probably

[elder cobalt]

why they got compact disks (aka the cd) all over the map

[edgy stone]

They look like a concoon mixed with an ink pen, anyone else see it

[raw plover]

feel free to ping mods for people that are here trolling

[north sonnet]

there also seems to be more of greymoor towards the right

[stray fog]

True

[gleaming basin]

Set discord slowmode to 10 on #sk-lore.

[green charm]

Yea I see it

[frosty turret]

Maybe those things got corrupted with what brought the kingdom to decay and we have to purify them?

[edgy stone]

Ty!

[steel slate]

Isn’t Greymoor supposed to be really big or something?

[green charm]

The area to the left of that is literally called the halfway home

[lament saffron]

For consideration:

[raw plover]

just wanted an initial buffer cause i know it'd get bombarded

[lapis creek]

craw lake all the way to the right is probably part of coral forest i think

[green charm]

What are we considering?

[feral thistle]

It was like 20 minutes ago 😭 😭 😭

[nimble haven]

weavers definetly made those, i think thats where hornet is gonna get more abilities like how we got abilities for the knight with shamans, thats what it reminds me of the most

[pseudo geyser]

bigger than deepnest / city of tears individually I think

[cedar arrow]

I feel like they have marked important areas as ahint for what we should try and go to now thinking sbout it

[green charm]

SS does look a lot more horizontal

[lament saffron]

That the map seems to be organized into tiers, which each tier offering new biomes to traverse to horizontally.

[elder cobalt]

hmm thats what is seems to be, lots of quest back tracking fun

[amber bridge]

now we count the walking/dashing seconds for the map length in comparison to the HK maps

[green charm]

Ah

[steel slate]

Bigger than deepnest for an area that probably doesn’t suck to explore is insane

[lament saffron]

Reaching new biomes likely will require literally going up through the map, and then moving sideways from the area you ascended through.

[prime loom]

same bell shape here

[green charm]

That’s just the crest of Pharloom
You can see that everywhere

[pseudo geyser]

LMAO real

[odd jackal]

really interesting to see how much the deep docks have changed since the e3 demo

[karmic horizon]

maybe

[green charm]

I like it

[prime loom]

i figured 😭 but i just freaked out

[wild oracle]

flat pharloom theory

[edgy stone]

It diesnt seem like the bell rooms are marked but you can see them all on the map

[balmy reef]

what do you think WAYS means

[green charm]

Even the cultists have it on their hoods

[wild oracle]

maybe like waterways?

[balmy reef]

I hope not

[fierce flicker]

what could this be???

[prime loom]

yall thing we are going down or up?

[odd jackal]

long ass pharloom

[green charm]

Maybe something like [vehicle]ways? Like the stag ways

[cedar arrow]

an elevator

[balmy reef]

graig go to sleep

[frosty turret]

We all are

[odd jackal]

its an arrow on the map screen to imply you can pan downwards

[river coyote]

Diagonal

[compact pelican]

Did people open up any lore docs yet?

[mortal skiff]

So like....each "ascension" in Pharloom's map is supposed to be a big deal?

[prime loom]

❤️

[steel slate]

The map seems very horizontal

[nimble haven]

like with how the knight got abilities to do with the soul and void, hornet will get abilities to do with silk and song

[green charm]

Not that I’m aware

[bronze bison]

20 MORE YEARS OF HORNET IS VOID DISCUSSION

[elder cobalt]

royal waterways

[stray fog]

Can someone confirm based on the location of the bench whether that is indeed a bell

[green charm]

no

[sinful nimbus]

Some sort of transport system presumably

[zenith yarrow]

HORNET IS VOID CONFIRMED!!!

[cedar arrow]

you're so right 😂😭

[edgy stone]

Maybe marchingways? Keeping in theme with music

[sinful nimbus]

subway/tramway/waterway etc

[amber bridge]

I am hoping we can still get some closure from the Godhome ending i.e. it's a nod to the ending of the Embrace the Void iirc

[visual elk]

imagine there's a section where hornet needs to run away from the void which is starting to spread to other kingdoms

[green charm]

When have you ever heard someone say marchingways

[stray fog]

Same

[sinful nimbus]

Anway Zal you forgot the no Hollow Knight spoilers rule

[nocturne lichen]

here's to another 7 years of "Is Hornet void" discourse

[cedar arrow]

😬

[edgy stone]

When have you ever heard someone say greymoor or pharloom

[sinful nimbus]

Very unprofessional

[amber bridge]

IIRC did they not mention that they tried to make sense of Silksong start with HK all endings? Something along the lines of making sure all endings of HK can fit with Silksong?

[pastel parrot]

Wanna ask in here since ss discussion is a particle accelerator, do we know whether silksong will release simultaneously in all timezones or not?

[wild oracle]

maybe hornet becomes void

[sinful nimbus]

yeah

[lament saffron]

SHAW LAKE

[wild oracle]

who is this craw i wanna meet them

[pseudo geyser]

imagine geopolitical tensions between Pharloom and other kingdoms

[lapis creek]

whys it all the way up there

[elfin shard]

hows hornet getting out of black egg 😭💔

[frosty turret]

I watched it and as soon as it started to appear it said "ember" I was like "fck no I'm not waiting till December" they really knew what they were doing with this effect😭

[dark root]

It may be possible that Silksong is happening after the godhome ending but we all know that team cherry treats every ending equally (for now)

[zenith yarrow]

Haven’t seen anything about time zones yet so I’m just gonna assume it will all be the same

[steel slate]

Oh wow that’s so far out

[cedar arrow]

Hopefully we don't have another quirrel

[zenith yarrow]

I can’t even check the steam page Cuse my laptop is broken and I forgot my steam account password

[steel slate]

Is that a different color to Greymoor? I can’t tell

[lapis creek]

oh no im just saying it's probably coral forest

[amber bridge]

fairs thats one of the few endings that makes no sense, but perhaps it was a miscommunication? I'd still like to believe that the Godhome Void ending is the true/canon ending and SS follows after it (yes I am still attached to the Knight like its my baby)

[pastel parrot]

So I will assume for EST, right now, that it will release 10:30 AM september 3rd

[lapis creek]

wait actually maybe not

[green charm]

Those are country names, and they have precedent
If you watched the only Silksong trailer, with no mention of the name Pharloom, and you just said out of the blue "hey, what if the country is named Pharloom? Like, far, loom" everyone would look at you funny because there’s no evidence for that

[lapis creek]

i may have misunderstood

[visual elk]

sealed siblings ending too? that could only mean one thing... We're gonna actually play as zote and this "playable hornet" thing was all just a silkpost

[hollow shore]

Hi guys I'm so crazy excited rn TwT

[pseudo geyser]

it might be this

[dark root]

Zoteboat reveal trailer

[elfin shard]

maybe hornets just built diff like that 🙏🙏

[green charm]

Eh yea I see it

[zenith yarrow]

I hope they go with the god home ending. It would be cool to see the knight again

[pseudo geyser]

though it could be a different area entirely too

[karmic horizon]

Huh

[river coyote]

Hornet broke out after doing 100 push ups, 100 sit ups, 100 squats and a 10 KM run around the Black Egg everyday

[pseudo geyser]

"Craw Lake"

[elfin shard]

really excited to talk to the old hermit man

[green charm]

I honestly hope there’s no mention of the Knight in Silksong
Leave the whole "all endings are canon" thing at that

[quartz salmon]

craw as in crawdad?

[lapis creek]

i saw craw and thought crab or crayfish for some reason but neither of those things are what that is

[dark root]

Yeah that would shed a tear after 300+ hours with my beloved knight

[amber bridge]

I'm guessing in terms of treating all endings equally, they meant that they respect every fan's choice of ending, but may still chose to stick their version of the ending.

[lapis creek]

YES THIS IS WHAT I WAS THINKING THANK YOU

[green charm]

What’s that supposed to mean

[hollow shore]

Hey does anyone know where I might get a red strings background so I can make my pfp silksongified?

[green charm]

I’m pretty sure you can just look it up on Google

[hollow shore]

Yeah I did

[nimble haven]

Honestly yeah, even though it's looking like a loose sequel with almost no ties to hollow knight I would like some mentions of characters that aren't tied with the hk or the knight

[frosty turret]

I want them to mention tk but only once and in a way that everyone will be like "OOOOOOOOHHHHJHH"

[green charm]

I’d like mention of other characters

[merry wigeon]

is September 4th USA time or AUS time?

[elfin shard]

TISO MY PRECIOUS BOY 😭💔

[green charm]

That would also be cool

[odd jackal]

for scale, this is the size of the deep docks demo

[pseudo geyser]

Craw Lake might be the connection to that colourful reef area too

[stark helm]

I'm in Silksong.

[amber bridge]

Have they not said they're taking the endings of HK into account when developing SS? They also said while that they'd still treat all others endings equally i.e. that all endings are possible before SS happens. Issue is, there are endings where Hornet is practicaly stuck inside the Black Egg for example and wouldn't be able to come out at all thus making the events of SS non-existent

[lapis creek]

i think theres a precise countdown on the xbox site?

[dark root]

I think that the most probable answer is not all endings need to be "canon" or in accord to silksong, but they instead just show another important piece of lore that could be used to forge new theories

[visual elk]

ss-discussion is flooded rn so i have to ask, what hour will silksong release? i don't want to spend all day looking at the steam page

[mortal skiff]

Yeah the map as it is presented in the trailer really doesn't give the right scale of how big Pharloom actually is.

[tidal knoll]

So i have a working theory guys. Based on early footage from Silksong, i think we can finally say that Hornet is void

[stoic stirrup]

If you guys havent seen Atrioc did an interview with Jason Schreirer: https://www.twitch.tv/videos/2545941953 Nothing spoliery but more into the interview with TC

[lapis creek]

i really hope they dont connect it to hk's story at all besides maybe some separate lore about weavers or higher beings

[green charm]

No, the little white flies around Lace can presumably break seals of binding, going off the trailers
Plus Hornet could’ve found a way out on her own

[pseudo lily]

?tag info jokerpsa

[gleaming basin]

https://youtube.com/clip/UgzlVc4LM4J6_DfuscZ4AaABCQ

No ending stops Hornet from being captured, and the ability to break seals with bugs from Pharloom makes Hornet being locked in the Black Egg not an issue. Dreamers also don’t die when sealed, we simply didn’t have the means to remove them without killing them.

[nimble haven]

Zote mention and they all openly speak of him as pathetic in contrast to bretta

[pseudo lily]

Presently, we don’t know

[amber bridge]

that's also possibly, if they had changed their minds about it. I am still a bit stuck given the abyss/void particles and ambience when the release date was show n but could also be similar to how hornet death center

[green charm]

Heck if I know dude

[coarse sapphire]

so we go moss grotto--->bone bottom---->marrow--->deep docks--->far fields huh

[shy magnet]

we need this pinned

[stoic stirrup]

Maybe assume midnight Adelaide time like the YT release

[merry wigeon]

is it true?

[snow rampart]

There's a connection between HK and SS, at least as far as The Void goes. It's in the release date part of the trailer

[odd jackal]

yeah moss grotto seems to be just offscreen in the bottom left

[nimble haven]

Tiso found dead at kingdoms edge, aged 49 💔 did my boy so dirty

[lapis creek]

theres one somewhere idk where it is

[pseudo lily]

Was about to say

[green charm]

True

[restive tangle]

silksong

[chrome reef]

songsilk

[restive tangle]

im PRAYING that shade lord is the final boss of the game it would be so peak

[odd jackal]

silksong is absolutely fucking huge

[feral thistle]

Final boss is us from the first game but after hk ending

[nimble haven]

Pk will you finally pay child support in silksong

[frosty turret]

Imagine if the first boss was THK and after fighting him (or while) Hornet gets kidnapped

[feral thistle]

On EVERYBODYs soul

[restive tangle]

no

[chrome reef]

wait that’d be peak

[nimble haven]

Mannn I'm snitching on you to the radiance

[chrome reef]

but prob too hard for new players/returning players or sum

[odd jackal]

imagine it as a godseeker type dlc

[turbid crown]

Is it sequal or prequel

[feral thistle]

No it'd be dumb cause that never happens in the game also theres bindings preventing non-vessels from entering the black egg

[lapis creek]

this would be AWFUL i really hope they don't do this

[real crater]

Also before being captured hornet has access to all her abilities

[chrome reef]

sequel

[violet coral]

wonder if void in september 4th text is tease of it being in silksong...

[lapis creek]

it would make no sense for hk lore

[karmic horizon]

This would be nice but it would have to be very, very easy, you also have to think about the new players

[odd jackal]

hornet entering the black egg

[spark valve]

yes genuinely ass

[dark root]

Idk maybe the void particles symbolize the fact that void would somehow play an important role in Silksong, after all, thats one of the most important things in-lore

Perhaps, they wanted to use some concepts they wanted to add in the abyss dlc from kickstarter

[steady notch]

I hope we only see like... 0.5% of the game in the trailer

[chrome reef]

real

[north roost]

wasnt greymoor supposed to be the biggest area they ever made?

[lapis creek]

i would be ok with shade lord and thk if it were its own gamemode

[nimble haven]

If team cherry's "all endings count but theres no definitive ending " philosophy matters we might not get a clear answer to this 💔 but let us cope

[odd jackal]

theres probably a lot more offscreen

[lapis creek]

but they should just let silksong be silksong

[restive tangle]

it would be funny

[karmic horizon]

Probably

[devout plank]

We won chat

[high violet]

this is probably hunters pass if i had to guess based on the colour scheme

[feral thistle]

She literally talks about this before the fight, something along the lines of "That chamber is made only for the likes of you, but I will assist if the opportunity arises" and she passes out like 3 seconds after interveningin the hk fight

[gilded spire]

Does anyone has any suggestions of what does the “haunted kingdom” could mean?

[restive tangle]

the strings are controlling people or something idkj

[karmic horizon]

Yea

[devout plank]

Possible dream realm?

[high violet]

also purple element tool, probably poison

[shy magnet]

yeah its honestly annoying how they say that all endings are canon

[odd jackal]

evil ghosts

[chrome reef]

genius

[feral thistle]

Also did anyone notice the notMantisLords boss fight in the teaser

[amber bridge]

I really do hope they also explore Hornet's side of past in regards to Pale King and the Knight. Again, I don't want to sound like I am selfishly begging for remnants of original Hollow Knight, like the Void, Abyss etc. to make a comeback in the new game, especially since this is about Hornet now, not the Knight, but the Godhome ending did left me yearning for its implications

[lapis creek]

this would be good, the game is about hornet

[sinful nimbus]

erm

[frosty turret]

Knight saving Hornet

[lapis creek]

and the weavers etc but i really really dont understand the people who just want the game to be hollow knight 2

[winter finch]

can't wait to save pharloom from the Resonance

[karmic horizon]

YES, the mechanics of that fight are too similar

[sinful nimbus]

There's no reason to think Hornet ever meaningfully interacted with the pale king

[amber bridge]

It's rightfully her game, so I am not gonna go begging for Knight crumbs, but some closure on the open void discussion would be a NICE addition

[gentle aspen]

Hornet doesn’t reference anything with the pale king at all

[turbid crown]

Guys what do you think the dlc is going to be about

[stoic stirrup]

boat....

[severe siren]

Return to Hallownest DLC (not happening)

[karmic horizon]

real

[sinful nimbus]

Grimm in Silksong??

[abstract lynx]

are we gonna get paid dlc btw?

[gentle aspen]

Dating sim

[harsh wigeon]

I would actually lose my mind

[abstract lynx]

or all free like hk1?

[shy magnet]

hopefully not

[nimble haven]

Yeah like I do not need any of the endings to play like a major part in silksong, since its own story, but at the same time how do type expect us to not want answers after that godmaster ending team cherry 😭

[sharp beacon]

Most likely

[sinful nimbus]

I hope free I don't want to pay for mid

[karmic horizon]

They will all be free, right?

[feral thistle]

Pharloom isnt in the dead kingdom category yet apparently... unless thats what happens in the ending

[steady notch]

Bound by her lineage and guided by echoes of her past Hornet will adventure through mossy grottos, coral forests and shining citadels to unravel a deadly thread that threatens this strange new land.
Idk I feel like they will actually tie it to this new kingdom

[amber bridge]

If the base game doesn't have a boss rush, then you can bet it'll be a DLC. That's the only one example I can think off, otherwise they said they'd add extra contents, which could include something similar to what Nightmare Troupe, Hive, Lifeblood was but much more

[feral thistle]

The weavers are definitely gonna show up again

Thats like the ONLY piece of hollow knight reference in the game which is all but confirmed

[turbid crown]

Deep docks map looks sm like fungal wastes

[dark root]

They're pretty much the core of this story

[nimble haven]

The grimmchild that shows up and its running its own grimm troupe hear me out chat

[green charm]

I hope they’re ok

[feral thistle]

I think (dont come after me)

[gentle aspen]

Oh yeah there seems to be a weaver esque boss

[frosty turret]

Guys that live in deepnest?

[candid sapphire]

Hunter's march is intriguing imo

[foggy fractal]

wonder why the weaver boss got beef with Hornet

[gilded spire]

Yup

[feral thistle]

yeah the spiders

[sinful nimbus]

joker what day is your birthday

[gentle aspen]

https://youtu.be/6XGeJwsUP9c?si=MRGMIwqU5aT5GgAD&t=71

[gentle aspen]

4 daya

[steel slate]

It’d be evil if they did Deepnest 2

[gentle aspen]

Nvm 3 days

[sinful nimbus]

wasn't it 4 days yesterday

[shy magnet]

credit:@odd jackal

[foggy fractal]

that boss looks so fast too holy

[violet coral]

the building at end of hunters march could be where we fight ant queen (carmilla?)

[gentle aspen]

I dont know how time works

[gentle aspen]

It also seems to have two needles

[nimble haven]

Pharloom is literally the land they came from they're gonna be super important for the game (holding onto my theory that an evil weaver is controlling pharloom or smth)

[sinful nimbus]

tuopi isn't a name I've seen for a while

[violet coral]

carmellita

[foggy fractal]

mhm hm
very excited to fight them

[turbid crown]

Do you guys think the hunter will get expanded on

[steel slate]

The trailer confirmed 40+ bosses right?

[shy magnet]

i think well get a new version for ss but def not the same one

[frosty turret]

Maybe some close servant of Herrah and she takes it all on Hornet because pk is dead so he/she doesn't have anyone else to blame for their loss

[gentle aspen]

Guarding a song shrine to boot

[steel slate]

So base game Silksong is gonna have the same if not even more bosses than full game Hollow Knight

[odd jackal]

i love that her slapping the kissing bug has the same effects as damaging an enemy with the needle

she hit him with so much force he lost hp

[hasty halo]

personally I'm looking forward to seeing what's the deal with the ants

[green charm]

True, and Silksong is (presumably) going to get DLC

[candid sapphire]

My favortite boss

[green charm]

I love him

[dark root]

Maybe the weavers we see in the original HK somehow rebelled against the pharloom ones and came to hallownest (pure speculation)

[hasty halo]

Pog

[steel slate]

Dlc is very likely

[foggy fractal]

maybe its a test for Hornet to see if she's strong enough

[odd jackal]

what that mouth do (eat you)

[gentle aspen]

Its confirmed lol

[violet coral]

yea we literally have the huntress

[oblique orchid]

when i first saw this thought it was a frog

[sage marlin]

https://youtu.be/6XGeJwsUP9c?t=75 WARIO!

[dark root]

It's so cute tbh

[stoic stirrup]

is this the "mossbag" I hear so much about

[sinful nimbus]

will we get godhome 2

[oblique orchid]

yes

[green charm]

https://tenor.com/view/wario-dance-party-mario-ghost-gif-16331962770303635229

[candid sapphire]

he got that suck attack

[visual elk]

i hope not, i will not be nearly doubling my save file time for a damn DLC again

[hasty halo]

due to the housing crisis, there is no godhome 2

[sinful nimbus]

thank god

[green charm]

Godhomelessshelter

[odd jackal]

cant wait for zoteboat dlc

[sturdy ridge]

Mossbag dissecting every little frame we got of this new map will be absolutely wild

[feral thistle]

Does this tie into the theory that all the enemies are being puppetered by strings from the citadel

[dark root]

I enjoyed godhome but whatever i'm masochist

[frosty turret]

Gods of thunder and rain"WHAT HAPPENED?!" Godseeker"Some lil dude just appeared and killed all gods with a straight face"

[feral thistle]

What's wrong with godhome I thought we liked godhome

[river coyote]

We’re getting Demonhome trust

[steel slate]

Marmuhome

[feral thistle]

Dlc where marmu finally learns how to fly

[green charm]

It’s like Godhome but all the bosses are Marmu

[dark root]

Gorb ascension dlc

[steel slate]

There’s a Marmu mode where every boss bounces like Marmu

[turbid crown]

Radiant Primal aspid boss fight

[lapis locust]

I'm hopeful for another Godhome, that was my favorite part of the original.

[oblique orchid]

i think if the godhome is in silksong the final boss could be the void

[river coyote]

Y’all think Mr Mushroom is gonna show up?

[dark root]

I Hope so

[feral thistle]

Probably

[stoic stirrup]

definetly

[green charm]

Very likely, yes

[oblique orchid]

he is in omnipotent being so yes

[hasty halo]

per wikipedia: "The best-known silk is obtained from the cocoons of the larvae of the mulberry silkworm Bombyx mori" I googled this insect... bros

[dark root]

Imagine mr mushroom showing in the end of Silksong and inhaling all of the void

[oblique orchid]

silkworm final boss?

[gloomy halo]

Do we know what kissing thing is

Maybe it’s a kissing bug

[hasty halo]

or something we have to save perhaps?

[feral thistle]

Why does hornet slap the kissing creature is she homophobic

[gloomy halo]

I hope

[river coyote]

No she’s already engaged to Lace

[balmy reef]

ok time to frame by frame this shit

hey TC why the fuck is there void here

[compact nacelle]

at this point, what's more extensive? the in-game lore or the lore of the community waiting for the game to be real?

[gloomy halo]

Fr

[feral thistle]

This "engagement" sounds more like scheduled abuse

[river coyote]

Don’t judge them

[oblique orchid]

void wil play a role in silksong
im guessing in some major way

[sinful nimbus]

hopefully just an oversight

[balmy reef]

true!

they forgor

[dark root]

Imagine if the silkworm would turn into another radiance

[feral thistle]

omg hi Radiance

[gloomy halo]

Imagine we find another vessel just chilling at far loom

[hasty halo]

I'm calling it now - there will be some kind of moth lore in SS

[bronze bison]

The final boss of silksong is radahn

[feral thistle]

We're not getting a dreamnail return are we

[hasty halo]

yo ucan call me crazy

[river coyote]

Hornet is gonna absorb all the void and rid the land of it, becoming part Void herself
Hornet is now both Void and not Void

[tribal meadow]

Guys in silksong you will play as hornet

[river coyote]

Which one

[compact nacelle]

i'm calling it now - there will be some kind of lore in SS

[candid sapphire]

There are going to be more wind mechanics than hollow knight because It's going to be used in boss fights

[gloomy halo]

I don’t think we will…

[feral thistle]

Miquella aint done with him apparently 😭

[frosty turret]

Gets triggered and starts pogoing the moth

[river coyote]

If it’s before patch then Hornet is done for

[hasty halo]

everyone is focusing on the spider lore but I have the feeling there's something bigger

[mild nebula]

So, is Hornet void?

[tribal meadow]

In Silksong we will be able to use buttons on a keyboard or controller to make something happen in game

[feral thistle]

Can we stop sending the Fr*nch flag its triggering me

[river coyote]

No

[frosty turret]

Like?

[hasty halo]

u a brit?

[gloomy halo]

I’m not sure if they’re gonna add that feature

[mild nebula]

awesome

[tribal meadow]

Moving

[frosty turret]

...

[feral thistle]

Absolutely not 🤢

[tribal meadow]

Fair

[vast brook]

hi

[dense willow]

I feel personally attacked

[feral thistle]

200 years of colonialism tends to do that

[balmy reef]

we're gonna start enforcing on topic convo here soon

[feral thistle]

But I mainly hate britain cause the food sucks

[dense willow]

Hi saad

[balmy reef]

at least one place should be strictly topic based for silksong

[feral thistle]

Fair enough

[foggy fractal]

mods actually having to moderate ? crazy !

[lapis creek]

good luck necro i hope it works

[dense willow]

That is reasonable

[river coyote]

1984

[tribal meadow]

I’m sorry to say it but everywhere is silksong

[spark valve]

good luck and godspeed

[native vine]

has anyone discussed this crest yet? she seems to disappear during her attack

[dense willow]

In my defence though that wasnt me

[feral thistle]

Everything is a silksong reference

[balmy reef]

yeah but like, actual discussion instead of screaming and random shit

[gloomy halo]

Also is lace a child cause hornet called them that but I don’t think lace is literally one think she’s just saying that cause she’s like a million years older than lace idk

[tribal meadow]

Oh ok

[feral thistle]

We're gonna have to mobilize like the jojo fandom

[balmy reef]

I haven't looked through the crests yet

love the swirling design

[feral thistle]

Oh yeah speaking of who are these cultist guys their mask keeps appearing

[dense willow]

She doesn't act very child like

[shell dew]

Can we please not call it ss

[feral thistle]

There was also that crazy scissor creature with the mask

[river coyote]

Yeah I don’t think Hornet is gonna fight and possibly kill a Child, Hornet is just rage baiting

[dense willow]

But that's less characters

[high violet]

its hard to align but heres a rough map size estimate thing

[dire kettle]

call is skong

[river coyote]

Skong

[dense willow]

Still less characters but ok

[dire kettle]

or HKSS

[hasty halo]

bro is geoguessing the map already

[vast brook]

can u send the whole map pic u have 🙃

[mortal skiff]

WOW

[odd jackal]

took a few more screenshots to try and expand the map as much as possible

[feral thistle]

Ref do something 😭

[native vine]

i’m not sure if they’re all pilgrims but i think some of them are heading to the citadel
obviously these ones seem to be there

[gloomy halo]

Yeah I think she’s just saying that to belittle lace

[feral thistle]

Its been like 30 minutes 😭 😭 😭

[foggy fractal]

I think its a quirk of the crest ?

[high violet]

neither of the pics are mine i just put them togeheter in photoshop

[high violet]

this dude made the map

[dire kettle]

we need to make a complile of all crests we have seen

[gloomy halo]

Thanks wanted to take a look

[high violet]

the deep docks one is from reddit

[dense willow]

I am currently in a violent mental conflict between avoiding spoilers and curiosity

[grim jacinth]

is this reel ??????

[dire kettle]

i love that we have no idea how many more areas the map will contain

[boreal crow]

JAHAJAHBABAHAAAB

[odd jackal]

a bajillion

[dire kettle]

DK. donkey kong

[river coyote]

Silksong dlc

[boreal crow]

Lol

[gloomy halo]

Have we seen far fields

[feral thistle]

Bellhart and Shellwood seem to be meshed together

[feral thistle]

Is bellhart just a sub-area?

[native vine]

yeah they grant special attacks, i’m wondering if this one gives iframes or something? as a side note to that the hitboxes seem very precise in the trailer

[odd jackal]

i assume its a town in shellwood

[steel slate]

Hopefully no area is as pointless as Howling Cliffs

[feral thistle]

Also what are those silver disks are they like grubs

[fluid marlin]

So hyped to explore the lore at its finest

[odd jackal]

btw team cherry stated that pharloom contains at least 100 benches

this image has twelve

[feral thistle]

https://youtu.be/6XGeJwsUP9c?t=70
NOTMantis Lords

[high violet]

ok so remember the long vertical area in the deep docks map?

[steel slate]

Tbf not all of them in the area shown might’ve been found

[dark root]

Imagine if Greymoor contains the rest 82 benches

[high violet]

this is the rest of the map with that to compare size to

[feral thistle]

How many does hollow knight have

[odd jackal]

jesus christ this game is massive

[hasty halo]

one of the areas is just a big park with a nice lake and places to sit

[odd jackal]

51 but pharloom's seem much more spread out

[feral thistle]

Its over

[plush siren]

imagine this is just "Act I"

[feral thistle]

100 hours of game time (minimum)

[river coyote]

We’re silkback

[steel slate]

Or on the map but just not sat on yet so they don’t appear on the map

[bright tundra]

I’m a bit out of loop with the lore and I’m sorry if this is over asked so is there a consensus yet on whether the game is a sequel or a prequel

[dusk mantle]

ITS HUUUUUGE

[sinful nimbus]

Sequel

[high violet]

fun fact i believe trailer only showed one new area

and even then i think its just a subarea of greymoor

[feral thistle]

Trailer revealed a bit too much imo

After years of no new footage its like getting flashbanged

[high violet]

LMAO i get that

[dusk mantle]

i really wish they didnt show hornet slapping that kissing guy, i really would have liked to see that for the first time while playing

[high violet]

although realistically the new trailer is almost entirely comprised of footage/areas and bits we've already seen

[feral thistle]

True

But there will probably be more gags like that

[high violet]

this is probably 1 of like many other interactions im sure

[steel slate]

Crazy how much if the map they showed us

[feral thistle]

Which would be refreshing because hk was always super sombre and melancholic

[dusk mantle]

imagine hornet slapping dudes is like a reoccurring joke lol

[high violet]

[steel slate]

Hollow Knight: Silkslap

[foggy fractal]

every enemy in silksong will be moving like nkg and pv 😨

[high violet]

also how did they acount for so many different angles of jumping bruh its crazy

[dusk mantle]

we are also moving like nkg so its fair

[foggy fractal]

true

[plush siren]

i dont even really wanna analyze the trailer too heavily yet now that there's only two weeks. want to just find all this stuff in game

[dusk mantle]

actual god tier movement system

[feral thistle]

Did hornet just do a backflip into a downward slash

[odd jackal]

assuming the density of benches remains roughly the same, this is the size of pharloom

[feral thistle]

Game of the year confirmed

[dusk mantle]

WHAT

[steel slate]

Yeah it’s not gonna be that big lol

[high violet]

i think this is like definitely overestimating it beyond belief

[dusk mantle]

theres no fucking way its that big

[feral thistle]

Are we for real right now

[dusk mantle]

it will be less than half that size

[steel slate]

I think there’s just several benches that aren’t marked on the map we’ve seen yet

[high violet]

will and ari would literally cripple away and perish

[dark root]

Leth confirmed ✓

[sinful nimbus]

"like 100" is pretty obvious hyperbole

[steel slate]

Or there’s a room with like 30 benches

[odd jackal]

no they said "more than 100"

[mortal skiff]

Didn they say they MADE around 100 different benches?
Maybe not even all of them will be used.

[sinful nimbus]

where

[odd jackal]

idk

[feral thistle]

As in, the bench assets?

[steel slate]

Many might be for dlc

[river coyote]

200 hours just to explore the map

[dusk mantle]

this is so obviously wrong how did you even come up with this 😭

[mortal skiff]

yeah, in that sense.

[odd jackal]

it am assuming that its really thin and tall, which does make it appear a lot bigger

[feral thistle]

This is impossible mainly because the number of bosses is stated to be "over 40" and theres no way there would be so few in a space this huge

[quartz salmon]

It'll probably be more like twice the size of the image at the bottom and then some not all that

[odd jackal]

its an estimate based on the number of benches :<

[fossil wraith]

Isn't this map missing a bench in deep docks that's in the current demo?

[dusk mantle]

there will be at least 2 bosses in each area (like hollow knight) so theres probably like 20 areas

thats my estimation

[odd jackal]

do you think ive played the demo lmao

[foggy fractal]

also Trobbio in the new trailer
it seems like he summons circles of red sparkles which could be like pv's focus attack ?

[odd jackal]

this is just a highball estimate 🤷‍♂️ if theres unmarked benches in the image then itll be much smaller

[dusk mantle]

what if we make it to the surface and its the land of storms 😱

[feral thistle]

I dont think stuff like soul/void will be mentioned in skong

[river coyote]

Nah I like my one better

[odd jackal]

but do keep in mind that whatshisface described it as "makes hollow knight look like a tech demo"

in terms of map size

[fossil wraith]

No but I think you could check some footage of the demo for more accurate bench density

[merry wigeon]

will there be any DLC for silksong? Or they never mention bout it

[foggy fractal]

woah

[dusk mantle]

they mentioned dlc yeah

[mortal skiff]

UH

[high violet]

new screenshots from GOG

[foggy fractal]

yooooooo cool

[odd jackal]

bro thinks shes mary Poppins

[feral thistle]

Hornets new healing animation looks kinda cursed ngl

[dusk mantle]

BELLBEAST CAN JUMP

[merry wigeon]

wait is it real?

[odd jackal]

zoteboat dlc

[mortal skiff]

yeah, in an interview released today.

[dusk mantle]

yes in the interview article they said they will keep making new content after the game releases

[silent kestrel]

yeah, team cherry hasnt had enough of working on ss

[dark root]

Also IT seems that between the reveal and release trailer they added 50 more enemies

[dusk mantle]

they are addicted lol

[river coyote]

They’re cancelling Silksong and releasing Zoteboat instead

[silent kestrel]

they weaponized scope creep

[dark root]

Zoteboat before Silksong

[feral thistle]

No because WE ALL left zote to die in the game right guys

[dusk mantle]

unstoppable developers

[feral thistle]

Right, guys?

[river coyote]

I saved him

[feral thistle]

Only for the achievement right

[silent kestrel]

We can prolly never have as much fun playing ss than TC had while making it.

[river coyote]

So I could fight his boss form

[dark root]

I Thought he would be a good guy :>

[feral thistle]

By 'making it' do you mean ragebaiting us with the news schedule

[fossil wraith]

To live is to suffer so zote shall live the longest

[feral thistle]

fair enough

[river coyote]

He isn’t really a Bad guy but he is a bad Guy

[silent kestrel]

Silksong development I mean, Ari had so much fun doing sketches and ideas and everything

[rugged wolf]

perfectly written

[dark root]

Well yeah Team Cherry pretty much confirmed in the bloomberg interview

[foggy fractal]

these new enemies lowkey look like this guy in the spirits' glade

[feral thistle]

Wasn't he a backer insert

[whole juniper]

I AN LORE

[foggy fractal]

yep

[dusk mantle]

you are supposed to think hes a good guy because he looks like you (people who dont look like you are bad)

[jolly sage]

did yall see the grimm troupe-ish boss?!?! im so excited for it

[dusk mantle]

yo thats like the same guy

awesome

[high violet]

wait youre so real

[feral thistle]

Wait which one

[river coyote]

I knew it, The Knight is Racist

[jolly sage]

lemme find it rq ill send a screen shot :D

[feral thistle]

Trobbio?

[karmic horizon]

WAIT yes

[dusk mantle]

do you guys think silksong will have moths in it?

[quartz salmon]

These are amazing this game is so peak

[feral thistle]

This 10 second slowmode pmo surely we dont have that many people speaking

[dark root]

Imagine a Giant silkworm in the end turning into the radiance

[jolly sage]

here it is my friend

[hasty halo]

I love the dandelion area

[foggy fractal]

oh yeah thats Trobbio

[feral thistle]

Oh yeah trobbio

[dusk mantle]

yeah thats dumb

[jolly sage]

whoa whose that

[foggy fractal]

https://hollowknight.fandom.com/wiki/Trobbio

[hasty halo]

Truthio

[feral thistle]

Why he got no eyes tho

[jolly sage]

oh sick man

[feral thistle]

And is that an actual mustache or fake shell parts cause they look too glossy to be organic

[hasty halo]

I need my girl Carmelita and her army of red ants

[karmic horizon]

They look like their eyes more than anything else

[river coyote]

So Silksong ends with the Radiance’s rebirth, Hollow Knight 3 will be two player and you’ll have to kill the Radiance again as an Older Knight and Hornet
100%

[feral thistle]

Yall think the ant section is just gonna be coliseum 2?

[cinder summit]

What is the image and info on silksoul? Could someone send I can’t find it

[hasty halo]

nah, HK3 is you playing as Radiance

[balmy reef]

this was my profile pic for like six months in 2021

[foggy fractal]

haven't seen much talk about that nail-art esque cutscene at 1:25 of the trailer
what do we think

[hasty halo]

hope not, I'm not a big fan of arenas in games, I only did Colloseum of Fools for the pale ore

[vestal swan]

I'm so glad all of those people that were trying to match the existing map together as a very small thing we're very very wrong

[foggy fractal]

awesome pfp

[dusk mantle]

kiss jim

[vestal swan]

His name is Susie

[jolly sage]

hopefully more mr mushroom 🙏

[karmic horizon]

Susie?

[vestal swan]

I would say who made this profile picture but I cannot ping them every time I try to ping them, it's in the gallery though you can go see it

[dusk mantle]

is this real

[river coyote]

Mr Mushroom final boss

[dark root]

I bet mister mushroom would save us in the end

[keen halo]

Neat

[dark root]

He's a omnipotent god after all

[dusk mantle]

silksong lore enthusiasts rise up

[gleaming sphinx]

Who here thinks that MatPat will Un-retire to do a theory on skong

[dusk mantle]

i hope not bro his theory sucked 😭

[dark root]

The last one backfired

[feral thistle]

Will silksong include Higher Beings?

[foggy fractal]

maybe

[hidden basin]

Yet another mid channel for mid losers

[keen halo]

Hopefully the new guys can make a good one

[feral thistle]

Maybe the villain is another wyrm

[gleaming sphinx]

ik, lol, do a good one before we know everything

[river coyote]

Hornet is the Pale King

[vestal swan]

Man it's going to take a lot of getting used to wear these channels are, anyway the artist is this person
@ zt2cans

[feral thistle]

That didnt go well last time

[gleaming sphinx]

Indeed

[dusk mantle]

🥺

[random sorrel]

new crest

[dusk mantle]

uh oh... tentacles...............

[balmy reef]

is that the only new crest?

[foggy fractal]

god the details in each and every rock

[dusk mantle]

do we know where this is going

[tender quest]

wait where is this shot from

[feral thistle]

I like those water creatures they're cute

[foggy fractal]

https://www.gog.com/en/game/hollow_knight_silksong

[sleek canopy]

This isn't lore but

[dusk mantle]

awwww look at the little leafy in the left hes so cute sitting down

[random sorrel]

considering this is literally the first time we've ever seen this crest, combined with the fact Hornet has 8 masks, probably means it's the last crest you get

[dusk mantle]

why is she in the first area then lol

[balmy reef]

is this one new? I don't think so but I can't remember

[quartz salmon]

Haven't seen anyone make the connection, what if this crest is related to those weird tentacles around hornet in the spritesheet

[river coyote]

Metroidvania

[feral thistle]

Black Egg Temple was in the first area too

[dark root]

fr

[tender quest]

holy the game is beautiful

didn't realize they added new screenshots already

[dusk mantle]

o tru

[silk jungle]

There is a way deeper in the deep docks and it makes me think of an abyss like place

[dusk mantle]

yeah she probably summons those tentacles

[feral thistle]

That coral area was absolutely gorgeous in every shot we've seen so far

[random sorrel]

every time we've seen the clover area Hornet has a ton of masks, the clover section could be something you only access later

[dusk mantle]

that purple item is 100% new

[balmy reef]

this one got a visual upgrade

[karmic horizon]

Beautiful

[balmy reef]

I love the way the gear moves as she uses her silk grapple

[random sorrel]

there's also a purple version of the needle lighter

https://tenor.com/view/eric-andre-purple-what-if-it-was-karlrove-pencil-gif-13697978

[foggy fractal]

seems like an upgraded life blood syringe ? maybe like a poison dart or smth

[dusk mantle]

im so hyped

the #1 thing i want is a shade lord boss fight

that would make the game a 10/10 for me

[odd jackal]

i already stitched them together

[real crater]

It might be another version of the syringe hornet injected during the gamescom reel

[dark root]

Someone even made a whole soundtrack for this type of bossfight

[dusk mantle]

look at the top right
CRAW LAKE???

[odd jackal]

also 3 pieces of ui found in the trailer

[sleek canopy]

Nice!

[foggy fractal]

🗣️ crafting kit !

[random sorrel]

I'm trying to refrain from loking at the map

[dusk mantle]

i wonder how these work, do you have to buy them every time you use them or are we buying the crafting recipe?

[vast brook]

smth is required ig u get it from boss or u find it on the floor

[fossil wraith]

Could these symbols on the map mean these ball things we've seen?

[river coyote]

Markers probably

[dusk mantle]

they are probably map markers like the ones you buy from iselda in hollow knight

[sleek canopy]

I hope not an abyss

[marble topaz]

So, the date was shown with a dark misty background and what sounded very similar to the sound effects in the abyss. Is the void returning for Silksong?

[high violet]

I think its map markers

[dark root]

Aren't they like spindles or something like that?
