Oh, thats really dark. Cultural phenomena started and was seen as good luck when it was just killing them.

#

yep. it's assumed everyone who did it continued safely on the pilgrimidge, not know it led to their death. IN fact, if you don't break out of the roots immediately, you can see all the other bugs embedded in the wall with you

#

Honestly hornet's Wyrm blood is probably 'the' worst possible thing for it to consume because now it's something with essentially divine power able to grow rampant and unchecked without limit now

is okay, you can just get tortured and the parasite comes out

#

Its weird that its whole ritual requires making a baby and bringing it to itself. I assume after eatting Grand Mother Silk its probably even worse for Pharloom, the entire Citadel gets rooted

man... Hornet is gonna need therapy after this game

It doesn't come out, you just weaken it to the point you can subsume it.

Wonder if that means Greyroot is dead? The original Greyroot becomes solid dead root after the infection

Greyroot is kinda what White Lady would be like if they decided to be antagonistic

okay so far in steel soul I've given 5 silkeaters to Skykx (who replaces the nerd who grows them) and so far each has only rewarded between 100 and 150 rosaries. not bad, but nothing to write home about so far

#

So is it Essentially confirmed now that ||the old Kingdom of hallownest / the void Kingdom was|| ||the snail Sharmans bcuz of the Things that Go down in Act 3?||

#

At least thats what i Put together so far

#

No no no

Snail Shamans worship the concept. But even they know "Yeah actually fucking with void is bad news"

Which also gives you the Journal entry

I think you're confusing that with the kingmolds, which were an early attempt at giving void form. Trying to shove those tendrils 'into' things

Nono, i know the Kingsmolds in White palace

#

But there is a Secret room to the right of the Lake of void past some Plattforming

wide raft
#

Yeah but they aren't like. something created. the tendrils themselves I mean.

They're what the void chooses to reflect those near it as, something aggressive and hurtful. I think Silksong also has Hornet's perspective on it when you find the journal on them

#

So how many differences does Steelsoul have now? Handful of new rooms, new minor quest new enemy? No one has reached Act 3 yet in that mode, right?

I could go into act 3 but I'm holding off until I know I have everything topside

Hmm
I'll Look at the Journal again when i get Home.

Steel soul is quite literally it's own thing

(Thee Lore)
Pharloom is a mountain, at the peak of the mountain is a small village. One day Grand Mother Silk arrived and ascended all of the local bugs into Weavers which are bugs that can weave silk in the Hollowknight world, silk can be used to make spells, songs, and seals and is basically magic. Silk can also tap into memories to fast learn things at the cost of that memory being destroyed or the person it belonged to being destroyed. From that small town a Citadel was built at the peak of the mountain to give praise and worship for the Grand Mother Silk that had made the Weavers, they however did not know they where forcefully ascended from normal bugs. Grand Mother Silk sent out a call in the mind of various Pilgrims to make the trek to the Citadel in promise of paradise. There where several civilizations already present in Pharloom. The Stick Bugs who where probably the first, and where started by Nyleth (who might be a Higher Being, might not be), they made the land green and habitable for all of the other groups. The Crabs who likely came from a far away land, and set up a Warlord Outpost, likely similar to Genghis Kahn and other similar Asian Empires who had vasal warlords that watched over territory for a much bigger emperor. The Green Dancers which had a small nice society but where very skilled. The Flies who seemingly liked to steal things and eat corpses. The Ants who had a proud civilization based around music and combat. And the Swamp People, who had relations with soul and the Snail Shamans. There was a long lineage of Snail Shamans in Pharloom, who eventually went into hiding, however they had relations with the Swamp People. The Citadel had killed all of these civilizations except for the Flies who they worked with, and the Swamp People by the time the game starts.
(Here on out is speculation by me)

Steel soul is it's own lore seperate from the main games, it's a story in parallel that we glimpse into. They're essentially void hunters. Simple as that.

Ok so i realised you can nock off the mask makers mask, same as in the first game. After that Hornet mentions that the Maker has "the Sight", and the Mask Maker then starts to predict Hornet's future. Could this be refering to the same forsight that the Pale king had?

Do we meet Steel soul Sharpe in SS mode?

not that i have seen, no.

I wonder if he is still in the game

uncut holly
#

So from the sounds of it by Seer Zi, the City of Iron is a civilization that has successfully Weaponized Void completely. They also have the "Masters" of this society who seem to keep things under a strict totalitarian watch. In Silksong Steel Zi is in Pharloon to pursue what is essentially a servant bug (Unwilling Slave Bug) who has "Touched the Dark" AKA learned how to do stuff with Void, and therefore must be hunted and killed to the end of the earth.

#

The City of Iron is probably a huge robot void city

viscid ridge
#

Yeah i really hope we get to see it

We practically know from Seer Zi that the steel bugs are void. Also Steel Assasin Sharpes nose is void

Void in the City of Iron must be super common for a garden variety bug like the Servant to learn about Void and know how to summon a Void entity. For some reason though they think it will free them or save them? Maybe as a guardian to them? Itll probably just kill them though

yeah and based on the ending of silksong we know which ending from HK is cannon. which means. Hollow Knight is alive, but unable to fight considering they're down a limb and probably severely weakened from holding the infection at bay for so long

They are retired. End of story

hear me out guys, the dlc for hk was silksong, which clesrly means that they were planning for another hk game but since silksong wouldnt fit in hk they changed it

pale escarp
#

Imagine if HK's kickstarter didnt get that playable Hornet milestone, Silksong wouldn't even exist

wide raft
#

No. Because the shade lord happens IN the Godhome ending. The shade is just what Hornet sees because Ghost doesn't wanna spook her. Because they're still related through their father. The thing is. Seeing all the siblings in the background, but no Hollow Knight one. Which helped during the standard radiance ending. Means they're alive. Which means 'only' the godhome ending took place

tawdry flare
#

Cope all you want, both endings are canon 🥱

wide raft
#

there was a huge discussion the other day breaking down the details between everyone. Say "cope" all you want. It's one timeline, it doesn't branch. This is just you not having an argument so you're trying to ragebait. It's poor showing on your part

tulip egret

Both endings theoritically are cannon but they cant literally be in the same timeline

terse warren

The only thing that is for sure actually there is TK

#

The siblings and shade lord probably aren't

#

It's pretty clear that TC showed both all the Siblings and Shade Lord in flashes of light to allude at both endings being possible

wide raft
# tulip egret Both endings theoritically are cannon but they cant literally be in the same tim...

The only supporting argument for the godholm ending to not be cannon would be if we also saw the Hollow Knight, but considering we saw him walking out of the black egg to see Hornet (you can tell by their cracked pure nail) after that ending. And we didn't see their shade during the reveal at the end of silksong. It's easy to guess they're alive. DLC may expand soon, but until that. all evidence points to a single cannon ending and that's godhome

gleaming minnow
terse warren
#

It's meant to be ambiguous which of the two endings it is

gleaming minnow
#

thk is probably in the big wall of shades

#

the reason why we only see the knight/ghost/lord of shades is because they're the one hornet knows the closest

i worded that horridly

Do you know who hasn’t? HORNET!!!

Hornet literally never met any of the other siblings

yes but i think the shades are all still her siblings

She was raised for a time 'with' the hollow knight. So if anything, he should have been the first to see

gleaming minnow
#

hornet seeing thk first wouldn't make sense though

tawdry flare
#

This feels like a completely arbitrary point

wide raft
#

It would make perfect sense. they were literally raised as brother and sister for a time and served for some time as the pale kings knights. She's known him much longer than the Ghost,.

why would PK risk THK developing feelings by sending them to the white lady

slate moon

#

THK is still a much more familiar person to Hornet regardless of "Ghost having more of an impact" Because end of the day, they still served the pale king for a time and were half siblings, she was there when they got sealed. Because part of her existance was dependant on making said seal, And they weren't sealed until she'd grown some otherwise Herrah would have been sleeping already.

thats the whole reason the game exists, did you do path of pain ???

And sayuing "well the Ghost is a callback to people who played the first one" SO'S THK!

'it's much more familiar so that makes more sense than ghost having more impact' i think you need to consider like

The Ghost was equally bad, as it had a will. The issue is, it was confronted with it's origin and embraced it (because we love powerups) instead of shunning it. Which is why it was chosen to represent the void instead of simply being a vessel

I didnt test this but do all the crests do the same damage needle wise?

slate moon

also what i didnt know that

#

does it give reduced gravity too?

gusty raptor
#

one question, if I get the witch crest before getting into the abyss can I play normally the game?

slate moon

I didnt try enough to see if the gravity is also reduced a bit, just wanted to see if it shared similar properties to Cyclone.

i have finished all the game except act 3

Is ||grand mother silk|| ( act 2 final boss ) a pale being like PK or WL

If you're really paranoid I would probably just rollback the save and move on but eh

i haven't arrived yet, but i can

if you are before act 3 you can get it whatever beat they boss with curse then load back the save it gives you and then get rid of it you can also make a copy of a save if you feel like it

honestly platforming and fighting aren't that hard because you can take your time with them

it's the time crunch while doing percision platforming that's gonna suck

runic musk

I think it wasnt too hard for me because I was basically trained from playing Ori lmao

Path of Pain is harder tbh

Harder than SS, I dunno about ori

anyway. officially in act 3 now on Steel Soul. Time to gird my loins. PoP isn't harder because again, you can take your time. Honestly I redid PoP after my first clear (of silksong) and it felt so easy comparatively. what with shade cloak giving iframes and suchj

a little annoyed that you can't have full masks going into act 3 as one is locked behind a act 3 wish though aaaa

Even that one area above The Cradle i had little trouble with

Ss on average usually has harder platforming than HK but I dont believe anything in Ss exceeds Path of Pain quite yet

right after you get out of the spot with the breakable roof, If you superjump on the lip on the left side you have enough silk to soar past a lot of the mechanics and still have enough to do the final leap (pending you have maxed silk going in)

Widow is interesting lore-wise, because they're the only Weaver still walking around in Pharloom and they're clearly loyal to Silk, even after the explicitly horrible binding they've suffered.

still not clear to me what happened between weavers and mother

i know first sinner is imprisoned for apostacy, so she turned her back on Silk

#

why though

jolly bronze
# formal geyser First sinner is a prisoner that tests you and you consume his essence for a powe...

Wouldn't is be reasonable to presume that Widows Weaver Mask that was removed, First Sinners Mask? It clearly broken and would explain why Widow looks the way they do - on top of the already existing similarities in attacks, voice lines, and the reusing of Widows Boss Theme in First Sinners fight. I feel it could be explained sort of in a similar vein as how in HK that we got to fight TKH in an earlier more prime form as the Pure Vessel.

lavish needle

What does the mask even do 😭

sleek lily

The surface doesn't have a map, right?

somber storm
#

no

high bane
# somber storm i know first sinner is imprisoned for apostacy, so she turned her back on Silk

They're only the first sinner- the Weavers are all Sinners in Silk's eyes. That's why they're all dead. Silk was imprisoned by the Weavers for a long time from what I've been able to observe- maybe it had something to do with all the music in Pharloom keeping her asleep?- but at some point all the silk they were weaving into the bugs of Pharloom gave Mother Silk too much power, and she overthrew them.

somber storm
#

where was it said weavers imprisoned her

sleek lily
#

I'm missing one relic, does anyone know where this one is or what it talks about?

white panther
#

Do we have any idea of what the "sin" of the First Sinner was?

high bane
# somber storm where was it said weavers imprisoned her

I'm not sure, it was definitely a lore block somewhere.
But it makes sense if you look at how the Weavers are compared to Silk. Hornet's notes on the Surgeon's entry says that the Citadel's use of silk "unknowingly granted many minds to the monarch".

#

So it seems like the Weavers were never on Silk's side, and they must have done something to draw her ire enough for her to hunt down not just them but every single person who could possibly be related to them.
The exception to this is Widow, who is called a "Fanatic" by her defeat achievement.

ember musk
#

do you think the snail shamans were the civilization that worshipped the void?

#

and also why were the weavers in the abyss?

high bane

The Weavers seem to have been in the Abyss for the same reason the Pale King was- they're both scientists, and the Abyss is a Big Thing they want to study.

The Shamans are almost certainly not Void, especially since they use Soul-based magic.
But they study it.

no shamans have an anti-cocaine addiction

I'm fairly sure Lace fights Hornet just for her own enjoyment.

craggy smelt

At first Lace seems to resent Hornet as a kind of replacement daughter (from Lace's perspective, at least)
that's seemingly why she broke Hornet loose in the first place, to keep her from being brought to the Citadel

sharp plank

I need to just say I adore Pharloom as a setting. We're had so many post-apocalyptic, near-apocalyptic, destroyed, desolate, etc. type settings that its insanely refreshing to have a world and society that's both functioning and isn't completely punked at the end.

#

have you tried playing needoline to the boss without killing her ?

next sable
#

TC probably ran out of time when they announced the release date. They did state the only reason they released now was because they felt they waited way too long and needed to stop

formal geyser
#

like during a fight

solar agate
#

Yeah but it doesn't do anything

#

I will try again I guess maybe I need to survive longer

formal geyser
#

some enemies take longer i would be suprised if final boss took few tries

tired dawn
#

ive done that it doesnt do anything

#

if you watch the video the extra ending is actually just a continuation of the basic ending so im assuming they just cropped the cutscene ingame for whatever reason

#

or something to that affect

solar agate
#

Nah it's rather different

#

Is there an NPC in the game that's obssesed with masks besides Mask Maker?

tired dawn
#

dont think so, i think you're looking into it too much though

next sable
#

Mask Maker has got a few screws loose

distant briar
#

by the
way I got the maskmater his delivery and all he said was thanks

#

no new lore

solar agate
#

did you hit his mask off?

#

He is rather different without it

formal geyser
#

Maybe its a steel soul ending ?

next sable
#

Hmm, possible, but then the achievement thing still holds

#

There’s no achievement tied to the ending

tired dawn
#

people have done steel soul runs already and havent said anything afaik

#

its most likely cut content

formal geyser
#

idk some videso call it alt ending its probs something obvious

tired dawn
#

does it really? thats cool actually

next sable
#

Those videos datamined it, so… yeah, take that with a grain of salt

hexed thorn
#

The game has three endings, right? Normal, Cursed, & the one where you get to Act 3?

tired dawn
#

uhh yes

next sable
#

In fact, the only reason we know it exists is because of datamining and nothing else

tired dawn
#

oh really? well there you go

formal geyser
#

did we datamine all ending conditions ?

tired dawn
#

that stuffs a bit harder to get than a video file id assume

#

im not into unity stuff though so idk

nova swallow
#

so like
these guys are what the ||grand mother of silk|| used to make the ||weavers||?

next sable
#

Pretty much impossible unless you decompile the entire game, and that’s a slog

nova swallow
formal geyser
#

so what did the first sinner even do to sin ?

next sable
#

Called GMS a liar. Basically heresy

wide raft
formal geyser
#

I could make like some theory where first sinner is Widow or some crazy shit then write 10 h lore video explaning myself

next sable
#

Widow literally dies to you though before you even reach First Sinner…

formal geyser

next sable
#

Not to mention, the literal giant cage with seals

next sable
#

You enter her cage/cell and bind her

nova swallow
#

it's on russian but these guys' desctiption says that hornet seeked relationships but her partners' lifes were always shorter than hers

tired dawn
#

you cant play different songs

formal geyser

nova swallow
next sable
#

She might also be immortal, but we don’t really know there

next sable
formal geyser
next sable
#

She definitely was a baby at some point

nova swallow
formal geyser
#

and widow had her mask taken away

nova swallow
#

her "when i was little" chimes in in descriptions of enemies is so sweet

next sable
nova swallow
#

also, i love her interactions with the green prince

next sable
#

Like, go watch the entire fight

formal geyser
#

time for a theory agenda

next sable
#

Yeah, I’m not about to indulge in arguing against poor video comprehension. Watch the damn fight

formal geyser
heady delta
#
