The knight doesn't die in any ending, dream no more is heavily implied but embrace the void is possible as well

Sorry I'm not much of a hollow knight lore fan it just looked like he died

#

Even then game is difficult

#

I skipped double jump and rushed right to GMS, that's not a speed runner time. that's just "Don't get hit" %

#

I haven't beaten the game yet so idk

#

If you don't go off the intended route you can basically do a straight line through all the bells without doubling back at all.

This was my run "after" getting 100% on a normal file. Once you know the patterns it's just a matter of execution

I can't wait to see what true ending speedruns look like

#

Lifeblood Syringe causes a little bit of vertical ascent, could that have applications for skips?

foggy fractal

#

probably. I just pogoed off enemies where I needed extra height and didn't need to do it much on the main path

#

I think you could also go through the bilewater route to go straight to citadel

now handover the juicy steel soul footage

👹

#

Only thing I went out of my way for was wanderers crest for the slightly higher movement speed and tighter controls

lyric rose
#

Lifeblood syringe + Beast Crest needle art could do some crazy stuff maybe???

#

who knows

pastel parrot
#

Do we know if the path through the mist is the same every time or randomly generated each run through?

urban stirrup
#

Random

wide raft
#

When team cherry makes a speedrun achievement. They make it possible for the average player. you don't need to be a crazy speedrunner to achieve it, if you just go in with a single goal in mind

100% in 30 hours is kinda wild for an average player

#

File limited to 10 but heres a screen shot at every one of the spool locations minus the one in slab, memorium, and high halls. actually fucked.

#

Also, I took the mist route to get the parry, and also get into the grand bellway

#

How exactly do you deal with High Hall though? Genuinely curious?

Parry, I guess?

Congratulations, but you probably aren’t the average player

Where are all the craft metals? I feel like I got a couple at the start, then the rest at the end with no in between. Am I just bad at finding them or something?

Does anyone else think ||it's the actual white lady talking to Hornet in Red Memory? They were talking like it's way past the fall of Hallownest, that Hornet has matured and wised up from being hallownest's sentinel.||

#

Is there any special meaning to the ||bellways (and bellhart)? Like, who created the bells and stuff?||

wide raft
#

Pharloom has metallurgy other kingdoms can't even fathom, Bells are easy to make and a show of talent with metalworking. Honestly it's probably just become an icon through usefulness

lost lion
#

where does one find the actual save file

limpid summit
#

And you can sort of see the shift from the floating memory text to when Hornet locks in and they talk normally

#

I didn’t even think about that

#

I don’t know if this is just a fundamental sadness at the death of her kids but in the memory she talks about void like it’s still an enemy

#

Surely she sensed Rad dying

#

She likes Hornet more than the vessels

Yknow thinking about it, ||First Sinner|| and ||Grand Mother Silk|| have remarkably similar fights, I wonder if there's some sort of lore implication there

#

Is that just how all ||Weaver or Weaver adjacent|| things fight?

faint hollow
#

Thinking about piecing together the story now and I'm asking, was it basically ||that Pharloom/the Citadel got so obsessed with eternity that they captured Weavers for their silk to extend their lives??||

Also why is it that in Act 3 ||Pharloom feels like it underwent a whole ass one year time skip imo? Like we have the Wormways completely turned into lifeblood, and the professor's like almost dead from the lifeblood, I feel like that would take a while to kick in.||

There's a big theme on freedom with both the Weavers and Hornet herself, breaking cycles, all that.

in the great Conchfly bestiary entry, Hornet says that she's outlived her mates.... dos that mean she's... a Widow?

Hallownest might be dealing with or has had to deal with another infestation unless Im reading this wrong

is the delicate flower from hk the same in silksong?

why are bells so significant?

clear zephyr

atleast the designs look identical

|| and considering how the void reacted to the flower at the end just like it did in the orginal game is another reason i believe they are one in the same||

Hi

#

Someone help me with the lore vro I'm lost

modern hollow
quartz plinth
# midnight vault I mean its clear that lifeblood has a similar process as the infestation did its...

I interpreted the lifeblood as something that naturally ocurrs when there is extreme decay on populated Areas, there was alot of it in Hallownest because the whole kingdom was practically in shambles and dead, while Pharloom, is still very much alive and full of life and non crazed bugs, meaning it could only spawn on the outer parts of pharloom, in an area that is likely a dump for whatever the worms got to eat, geologically, the lifeblood is also underneath the Sands of Karath, a dead Tribe.

The ||Cogwork dancers ||and ||Green Prince ||questline is literally everything to me. I need a godhome style boss expansion with the doomed lovers

That skill which unseals the beast

one that wants to kill me 💔

#

would mount fay also be a kinda viable place for lifeblood to hang about

quartz plinth
#

Not really, since its a mountain, but its not a dead zone

#

I gotta clarify, What i mean with Dead zones is places where there was at one point, lots of bugs or traces of civilization, just for these zones to become giant graveyards of rotting things

clear zephyr
#

wait so people still cant figure out how to trigger every ending

runic musk
#

No we know how

mental thicket
#

how many ending are there

modern hollow
#

yea but lifeblood doesnt always flourish in those particular areas specifically

near wyvern
#

have we ever heard the name "everbloom" in hk?

clear zephyr
#

there is 5 endings and only 4 triggers have been found so far

modern hollow
#

you can find multiple in pretty well populated areas like the mantis village

runic musk
#

Its just a pain in the ass to figure out exact conditions for what the trigger for a specific one is.

maybe they just drop the dead in those places including lifeblood infected ones so it pops up in the graveyards

I think white lady directly spoke to hornet via her cool higher being powers

clear zephyr

#

Im only saying that because it would indicate that the flower isn’t native

#

If you pulled it out of a memory

clear zephyr
#

we have only ever seen it used against the void

#

Not my point

strong ibex
clear zephyr
# naive cargo Not my point

kinda is if you pay attention its not native anywhere in the world yet somehow magically appears everytime its needed to be used against another higher being (yes the lord of shades is considered a higher being) so my thought is someone else is bringing it in an handing them outcause the flower is also tied to the god seekers

modern hollow
#

the shade lord is a lower being cuz its lower to the earth /j

clear zephyr

#

yea i just like calling it a lower being cuz its from the abyss

which is pretty low to the world

IS THE BILEWATER BOSS ANOTHER SOUL MASTER?

from the first game??

he has soul powers and they allude to it in songclave

i mean it is the only time we ever see that flowe come into play is when the void is around

#

Does the needolin let you listen to the dead?

raven condor
#

Also, can we agree that the pale king is actually goated and we need to apologize. Grand mother silk strings people up, Radiance infects people, apparently lifeblood eats your soul, the nightmare heart enslaves, and the pale king just be granting the gift of thought like jeez, no cost to great, cause otherwise these bugs are gonna suffer forever.

I do think its dream no more

The design is the one the knight uses in that one

#

Also yall reckon we might get a prime citadel in the dlc

#

With all of the memory stuff going on I feel like we could get into it via the broken down Sentinels where you fight the last one

midnight vault
#

Pretty sure on the surface the figure the needolin shows is a godseeker

#

I hope we get another godmaster

#

or maybe not these bosses are something else

# near wyvern huh we what

you can go there by soaring to the top of grandmother silk's chamber and going through hellish jumping puzzles for what amounts to ||dreamnail dialogue and a little sprite||

any talk about the fact that the snail shamans are ||freaking murderers?

We fight the second sentinel but who was the first?

# woven fulcrum I still a bit lost on what all happened between the weavers and gms

little crack theory here
Silk wanted daughters, so she created the weavers, but that wasnt good enough, so she created Phantom and Lace, but still not satisfied, she commanded her followers to go and capture Weaver descendants in the hope of finding a strong/suitable daughter/heir which Hornet would be the perfect candidate
Now what i still dont really understand is:
Why is silk trapped in her cocoon
Why did she start cursing Pharloom
Why did some weavers betray her

could this cut content be one of the ||snail shamans||?

could be, but snails shamans have white eyes

I still think it's a future dlc

I don't think that's in the game either, I got all the bestiary and I didn't see it anywhere

There's a trailer with an enemy in it that looks like them

btw you can make the little judge hatchlings sing if you keep playing needolin after they disappear

It’s kind of crazy that when you look at the hunters journal for hornets notes she repeatedly makes mention about wanting to pet creatures with soft fur.

Headcanon that hornet would snuggle with one of those bell bugs if they weren’t aggressive.

spare pendant
#

pale being is only used for the two creatures in hallownest

#

But like would she snuggle or would she just pet

#

Give hornet a floof team cherry

#

Im refunding the game if hornet doesnt get a godamn floof

lost lion
#

No look at the journal entries for the big one and the crusted one

sullen crown
#

Oh I got to check

#

Can’t rn though

dusk zealot
#

um so... you can get regenerating health with lifeblood

#

like, full on, better version of the hiveblood charm

#

If I remember right the crusted one said something about how tragic it was she couldnt hug them cause of the shell

sullen crown
#

Interesting

#

Is it in wormways?

edgy stone
lost lion
sleek lily
#

Found a secret weaver relic by revisiting the conductor in ||Act 3||

dusk zealot
#

if you gather 9 lifeblood masks (this is in act three with wormways turning lifebloody + the phial), it turns your health into lifeblood. your hearts regen over time but but you cant heal with silk

sullen crown
dusk zealot
#

YEAH

#

it resets once you bench

lost lion
#

Thsts pretty cool tbh

sullen crown
#

Cause I saw the journal entry for the lifeblood bugs

dusk zealot
#

i saw that and was curious what would happen if you got the max

sullen crown
#

And then I did like 6 lifeblood syringes at once for a boss

#

And nothing happened

dusk zealot
#

10 is the most you can get, the more you get, the more the lifeblood hearts start shaking

sullen crown
#

Lifeblood’s kind of scary

edgy stone
#

Its weird hoe much more aggresive lifeblood got in silksong

sullen crown
#

Seeing how it was barely present in act 1

dusk zealot
#

2 plasmium cacoons + phial

sullen crown
#

And act 2

#

And then coming back to see it completely overtaken by lifeblood

lost lion
sullen crown
#

Really makes you understand WHY it was so frowned upon in hk

#

Something i noticed in a task description. Sry its not relevant

Well that lifeblood were only little pockets after being ruthlessly hunted out.

But this is a new infection taking hold.

#

Do we know the full story of Joni?

edgy stone
#

Also the fact that lifeblood mutates bugs in silksong when it was just spreading in hollow knight

lost lion
#

It did mutate joni

sullen crown
#

Joni’s blessing does mutate the knight by making all your masks lifeblood

#

But it does seem like the alchemist brought a more virulent strain of lifeblood

lost lion
clever linden
#

Yeah but it wasnt as agressive as it didnt infect anything else. If this is by choice or by force i do not know.

sullen crown
#

We could even assume most of the sources of lifeblood were eradicated by the pale king

lost lion
sullen crown
#

The lifeblood was also being specfically cultivated

#

Like imagine giving a infection fertilizer

edgy stone
#

Its weird that lifeblood also weirdly does like void

lost lion
#

I do think it eeally might have some ties to void though

sullen crown
#

Well there was the lifeblood room in the abyss

edgy stone
#

Found in the abyss and it seems to grow stronger in act 3

sullen crown
#

But I feel they are different but have similarity’s

lost lion
#
  • the lifeblood grew like crazy once the void took over in act3
sullen crown
#

It could also be that the void doesn’t actively fight against lifeblood

#

Unlike pale beings control who do not like it.

lost lion

#

Id be down for a lifeblood expansion honestly

Idk about it being better

#

I wish wanderers got upgraded

sullen crown
#

It’s just given something unique

Every crest except wanderer has unique gimmicks about them

#

Shaman forcing you on the ground

edgy stone
#

Its a solid second longer than all the otherd

And taking longer even with the speed heal tool

And you don’t even get a single red tool slot

Use wanderers, unironically the quick hits kb him and basically stunlock him

confirmed

just got him

#

you need to deal damage fast, he is like perma healing

I killed him in less than 20 secs

#

By spamming attack

#

Oh yeah, it's a gimmick for all ||lifeblood|| enemies. They are constantly healing, as shown with a ||blue|| effect on them.

I was so confused when people were talking about an immortal guy when I got here cause I killed him with like 0 trouble when I did it

#

It just took a min

sleek lily
#

The lower he is the more projectiles he'll throw

sullen crown
#

Im gonna be honest idk how to feel about the fact basically every boss does 2 masks of damage.

sleek lily
sullen crown
#

Also the fact I was stuck on 6 masks for like 8 hours of my playthrough

edgy stone
#

Mask allocation is odd

#

A lot of em are like way later than youd expect

sullen crown
#

they give you so many spools

#

early game but then go reverse

raven condor
#

Idk, I got one in act one, two in act two, and one in act three, seems pretty balanced

#

Masks that is

#

I genuinely think they designed this game to progress as if the citadel was the city of tears progression wise, and by the scope of the game, that’s about right.

# jolly rock Summary of the game's narrative as you understand it first

Starting from before the beginning, dozens or potentially hundreds of haunted pilgrims set out to capture hornet, and bring her to pharloom, the reason for which is not explicitly stated as far as i’ve found or heard so far, which the seal on hornets cage breaks, she escapes, and here there is a bit of divergence depending on if you want the TE route or standard ending route

# lost lion Starting from before the beginning, dozens or potentially hundreds of haunted pi...

For the TE route, hornet ventures throughout pharloom, helping all the bugs she comes across and forging friendships and helping pharloom begin recovery from the haunting, culminating into her fighting lace, at which point hornet realizes that she does not want to follow the path of the ruler of pharloom but rather as a savior, and so she goes to the snail shamans, who help her set a trap with the souls they have gathered, and then in the GMS fight, right as hornet sets off the trap, and the void moves to consume GMS, lace knocks hornet out of gms’s grasp and takes her place, causing the trap to go wrong due to gms refusing to die on account of her daughter being consumed by the void if she gives up on life, and I will continue in just a moment

lost lion
#

My personal headcanon is that hornet was retrieved to build more architects, as dialogue with the architect heavily implies that only weavers had the ability to create the architects, and without the architects pharloom will grind to a halt, though thats just my speculation

# lost lion For the TE route, hornet ventures throughout pharloom, helping all the bugs she ...

so hornet dives to the abyss, using an old diving bell that breaks partially on the way down, has a conversation with lace's spirit, in which hornet decides that she will not stand by and try to hold pharloom in stasis as she allowed to happen in hallownest, and then hornet escapes the abyss , talks with the snail shamans about her plan to retrieve lace from the void's grasp, which will require using the original everbloom flower, as the passage of time has resulted ini the flowers power being dimished, in order to do so she needs a lot of memory power? (I don't remember the actual name for it its late and i'm tired), which she cannot provide herself due to her needing her mental strength to fight in the void. So she gets information from the snail shamans on locations of some of the ounding beings of pharloom, who's memory is incredibly powerful, and goes and seeks their hearts to fuel the ritual needed to retrieve the everbloom from her memory. in doing so, its revealed that this process will likely cause pharloom to degrade somewhat, as these beings (not to be confused with higher beings, of which it is unclearwhether they are or not) are integral to pharlooms prosperity. After retrieving the hearts, Hornet goes through her memories of life, beginning in deepnest with herrah the beast, then moving on to training the needle under hive queen vespa, and finally into her stepping into her role as a child of the pale beings for a time, and talking to the White lady, who is the one who gives hornet the everbloom. (it has been pointed out to me that it is potentially not a memory at this point but hornet speaking to the actual white lady, as the style of dialogue changes). hornet wakes up, the shamans are dead from the procedure

whats up with the snail shamans? why do they die after we go in our memories

#

Too much power probably

lost lion
# lost lion so hornet dives to the abyss, using an old diving bell that breaks partially on ...

she goes back to the abyss with the now funcitonal diving bell, dives beneath the void, cuts the void from laces body, and this allows Grand mother Silk to finally let go of her attachment to life, using the last of her strength to propel Hornet and Lace out of the void, which almost works, they get near the surface, but hornet passes otu from exaustion, being saved by the knight in the from of either the shade lord or the void given focus form, not entirely clear, and then the game ends, hornet and lace survive, and pharloom's collapse is stopped.

#

theres potential for me to have missed some things there, asa its now 4am for me and i'm pretty damn tired, but thats a basic plot synopsis of the TE route

sullen crown
#

But like I’m kind of sad we didn’t get any collo of fools challenges in this game

uncut holly
#

I do agree that all the hearts dont seem like higher beings. But Nyleth being a heart is very weird, because they are seemingly the original source of all plant life in Pharloom. Its weird that they arent as big of a deal when you fight them to that of Radiance or NKG even though their lesser powered than both

lost lion
# jolly rock Let's start with the intention of GMS

mostly speculation on my part for GMS's role, my personal thoughts are that she's not really in control, it's likely the last true thing she did while fully aware was the creation of Lace, as the journal entry suggests, she's trying to awaken, and the haunting is a result of her slumber, so her intentions in bringing hornet to pharloom probably lie somewhere between a tool to be used to restore her kingdom or a vessel used to reawaken

uncut holly
#

Some how the Sands of Karak dried up along with all the coral stuff, and we dont know how.

lost lion
#

sorry thats not formatted very well

uncut holly
#

I feel like the GMS journal entry will make sense once we understand the Weavers relation to her, and what happened between them

lost lion

She seems to have an obsession with "children", as the first sinner says she called them Her children until she abandons them, likely after the creation of lace/other silk based beings

There seems to be some great conspiracy between the Weavers to create hornet

i'm not really sure thats true though, In the flashback (at least what I got from it), the weavers weren't really approving of hornet, aside from herrah.

jolly rock
#

They were all huddling around her expecting greatness from her

lost lion
#

the reason she's brought to pharloom is that she is, in essence, an immortal weaver

Just asking:
Is it better to read the tutorial to get the ending I want first, or play blind?
I'm not used to multiple ending game. Everything is fated in my daysbugelder

sullen crown
#

Play blind

lost lion
#

what exactly they wanted an immortal weaver for is up for debate

uncut holly
#

Going off of interaction dialogue Grey Root, who is a Root and likely a Higher Being like White Lady, wakes up after a long dormant slumber when Hornet enters the room. They then act very suspiciously when you know the context, telling you to get pollips for "the rites" or the preperations. Then eventually you find their root baby that already exists in the world, bring it to them and then they curse you. If you kill GMS with the curse instead of binding GMS Grey Root comes out of you and grabs you and Grand Mother Silk killing you both in a unique ending where the entire Cradle becomes root.

No right

# jolly rock Are there any male weavers

Silksong is based on weaver spider, right?
The male supposed to be able to make the same quality of web.
But idk if Team Cherry adopted this behavior, or make any Weaver as female.

lost lion
# jolly rock No right

likely not, the weavers were created by Grand Mother silk, so as artificially made beings essentially, they were not really made to reproduce

uncut holly
#

I think Grey Root is a twist on White Lady. White Lady was obsessed with making more vessels. Grey Root I think is obssessed with Rebirth and be coming stronger. I think they steal the power of GMS and you, being that you are half Wyrm.

How the Radiance was created is iffy but there was one interpretation that saw them as a deified moth person, who then became the patron and eventually seen as the creator of the moths. That would make The Father of the Flame a beginning stage of someone becoming deified if it even works like that

# jolly rock It was prophetic in writing not general

It's also likely (at least in my head) that these tablets which grant these skills are likely not just objects, probably have at least some form of consciousness, as many of them seem to be too specific for prophecy, as those are typically much more vague, as well as Eva's existence suggesting some pretty interesting weaver abilities.

Hey so back on Grey Root, the ending where you beat GMS Cursed is called "The Rite of Rebirth" ending. Meaning that it is probably correct how Grey Root is an inversion on White Lady, who wants to rebirth themself stronger using other gods.

One of the Weavers is called the "Weaver of Time" in their effigy, prophecy wouldn't be the strangest thing for them to do.

Right, one of the major forces in silksong, or at least in act 3, is memory, so it would make sense for the weavers to know of this and utilize it, potentially making these places that can, for lack of a better word, jog your memory, remember, these arent abilities that hornet is acquiring for the first time, she’s remembering how she once was before her weakening in pharloom

#

These words don’t necessarily come from the tablets but could also be just what hornet needs to hear to regain her strength

I'm most curious about Pharloom's leadership timeline.

The biggest mystery right now, that I havent really seen answered is what caused the falling out with Grand Mother Silk and the Weavers. We have a few things it could be, the creation of EVA, or them not liking the practices of the Citadel. But the weavers seem to have started the Citadel at first

Infact when you do first meet them, they start listing what you are, before realizing your half Wyrm. If they didnt realize your a Wyrm and that they could use you, they probably would have just killed you like the people in their basement

From the looks of it, Grey Root infects gods, and rebirths itself through them to become stronger.

Someone run a count of how many unmarked hidden walls and hidden areas there are in the game

sullen crown

There is a metric fuck ton

Ts gotta be in the thousands

Omg i remembered the whole Hornet was raised by 3 queens lore back in Hollow Knight but it got scrapped, and it was later reintroduced in Silksong, making it canon aaaaaaaaaaaaaa

#

AND BABY HORNET, SHE SO BABEYYYYY

sullen crown
#

A whole ass silk heart is hidden behind a missing ceiling then a breakable fucking wall

slate moon
#

Hornet was raised by midwife, pale lady and someone else i thought

HK was NOT as bad as ss is with walls

Large flea is particularly liked

I like that the Large Flea was like a mini boss lol

sullen crown
#

Can we just say though that bell beast is the cutest thing team cherry has come up with

midnight vault
#

Ngl I'd hug one of the moss bugs from greenpath theyre adorable

slate moon
#

Large flea almost ran the fade with me im ngl 💔

I don’t remember a large flea I might have dementia

Sorry no

I remember fighting this guy named Seth while trying to get to Nyleth, if i remember this guy was important in the Hollow Knigjt community?

sullen crown
#

The way they stomp their feet when you go afk to get hornets attention

slate moon
#

Some dude named seth

open dragon
sleek lily
#

That's the final name on the credits also

sullen crown
#

The fact when you use V they roar back and the fact you can come back to them NAPPING

#

It’s so adorable!

I would never

Was Seth a kickstarter backer?

And he never did....but at least Seth actually made it in the game as a fun cool boss...

slate moon
#

sorry but nothing is gonna hit the same as the boss in Failed Organ

Phantom? Shit is a surreal experience

Also it’s exhaust organ if I got it right

The silver lining was at least when you reach the Whiteward, there is a tool that can make healing faster, but its not like the speed during the beginning trailers, its a little faster, Multi bind makes healing finally duable lmao

Phantom showed up, died, and gave me the anti duelist ability gotta love it

Seth was supposed to be an NPC found in the cut barnacle area.

in the end, was there any relation to HK in silksong? I'm barely finishing act 1 but just curious

sullen crown

# midnight vault cut?

Yeah, barnacle area is gone from the game. There's the electry barnacle subarea in Sands though

It’s why I think the 5 hour speedrun won’t be that bad

I’m so sad the coral area is gone it seems like it would have been really cool

open dragon
#

Why tf do they cut out the cool water biomes in favor of FUCKING BILEWATER AND THAT OTHER SEWER BIOME WHATS IT CALLED???

#

This is what happens when team cherry doesn’t have enough dev time

I want the beautiful colorful coral biome man 😭

and not actually make it into a new fkng game jsjsj

Thankfully I didn’t die on the Bilewater boss fight

The barnacle area was also supposed to have it's own town I guess with this dude (which probably was another Snail Shaman)

sullen crown
#

So no dumb run back for me

midnight vault
#

Still wondering where Lion Village is

#

I was promised it full of Lions

open dragon
#

I would pay extra for the coral biome and barnacle town coming back with like 10 new bosses honestly

sullen crown
#

I don’t think it exists

slate moon
#

too many wishes to do tbh, are the board wishes the only ones necessary for act 3?

distant briar
#

would make sense

open dragon
sullen crown
#

The wish part only seems like it will be an issue for 100% speedrun

#

Cause wishes aren’t really that bad

distant briar

NOOOOOOOOOOO

Free probably
