ari, william and the other guy is foul

[trim estuary]

is the other guy david kazi, jack vine, or christopher larkin

[glossy berry]

jack vine

is the only other employee at tc

[trim estuary]

are you sure

[fresh zodiac]

i feel bad for kazi and vine cus like i can assure you a lot of the fans remember ari and william but not the other two

[dusty nimbus]

🦖

[fresh zodiac]

(including me)

[glossy berry]

christopher larkin is a contractor, not an employee

david left pre-godhome

[viscid wind]

ROARAROARA

[glossy berry]

mhm mhm
they seal him away on a regular basis in fairness hes their little coding gremlin and all

into the dungeon of pr obscurity

[fresh zodiac]

seal them away in black eggs

with bindings, seals and chains

[viscid wind]

What if godhome lore was bad because they didn't have david kazi

[fresh zodiac]

maybe

[viscid wind]

ok trump is denying considering 90 day tariff pause

[fresh zodiac]

(ive been staring at that message for 20 seconds trying to come up with a good response)

[serene chasm]

I dont think david did any of the lore writing

most of that was ari iirc

[fresh zodiac]

aaaaah

[viscid wind]

i am aware, im sillying around.....

[fresh zodiac]

yall think that some day in the future when silksong is out for years that we will finally get access to TCs internal lore bible document?

[glossy berry]

what do you mean everybody knows p5 and etv lore is the peak of hollow knight

[opaque sigil]

No

[glossy berry]

probably not no

[fresh zodiac]

ah

[glossy berry]

i dont think id want it anyway lmao the point of the lore bible is to figure out how to put the games plot together in a sense that feels cohesive enough to fill the gaps yourself

[fresh zodiac]

maybe we are just not ready for the incomprehensible and sacrilegious bug lore

[glossy berry]

having a random pdf spell it out for you feels less fun

[fresh zodiac]

yea true

thats why having holes in a lot of things gives you that imagination and speculation which is the most fun

[silver oak]

This already exists #off-topic message

[fresh zodiac]

huh

[viscid wind]

woah

[fresh zodiac]

[fresh zodiac]

oh ive had been told this too

this is why ive also been like pushed into trying to find a job by my parents as well

[novel pollen]

question how is there plant life in farloom with out UNN

[fresh zodiac]

chlorophyll

[dusty nimbus]

UNN is green from wish

[viscid wind]

like my only option is like freelance

[fiery burrow]

Unn is not the source of all plantlife, even in Hallownest

[viscid wind]

unfortunately i am an untalented swine

[fiery burrow]

For example the Forgotten Crossroads are filled with pale ferns

And Kingdom's Edge has a lot of white glowing roots

[fresh zodiac]

you can do it if you set your mind to it, no failure means the end

[warped rock]

Ancient civilization duh

[novel pollen]

I see

[viscid wind]

yes failure means the end????

[still elm]

The fact sunlight is somehow present in moss grotto despite it being at the bottom of the world is odd

But like, the same goes for like, the Hive

And even greenpath to an extent

[fresh zodiac]

no i mean like "dont let anything strike you down, and get back up again" kinda thing

[shell yacht]

The game is full of unexplained light sources

Don't think about it too hard

[fresh zodiac]

yea

[still elm]

Yeah

[viscid wind]

Huge plothole, unplayable.

[fresh zodiac]

for the true underground experience, disable all unity light sources

[fiery burrow]

Wyrm beacon glows

[shell yacht]

Wyrm bacon

[still elm]

There’s stuff like the Blue Lake leaking into the City of Tears that was considered, and other things put in just to be evocative

[barren sequoia]

The abyss was somehow illuminated enough to see shit in hollow knight

[warped rock]

that's the snow in kingdom's edge

[full rune]

the knight glows therefore there must be a lore erason

[fiery burrow]

Lights are in the same vein as floating platforms which for some inexplicable reason are also canon

[still elm]

I guess if I HAD to tie the moss grotto light to something, it could possibly be from Coral Forest up above

[dusty nimbus]

https://tenor.com/view/hollow-knight-the-radiance-radiance-gif-23416069

Explanation everyone is filled with light

Light is in everyone and they shine

[warped rock]

Well no one bats an eye at the floating uumos

[frozen frigate]

This is true in real life too

[viscid wind]

no sorry

[fresh zodiac]

its the beautiful light in our dark world that illuminates our hearts

[fiery burrow]

They be aquatic

[fresh zodiac]

aight i guess

[unborn dome]

it represents vessel's innate 5ft dark vision

[opaque sigil]

It represents the need for the player to see what’s happening

[fiery burrow]

Silksoul makes the lighting realistic

Explaining the darker Bellhart, only illuminated by The Citadel

[frozen frigate]

Idk about you guys but I never noticed that you can see the knight pull out the lumafly lantern when you enter dark areas

[past creek]

obviously the light comes from the sides its a 2d game theres plenty of space for light to come from

[past creek]

still waiting for the dlc where we can throw the lantern as a flashbang to stagger bosses

[lone crown]

No way, every pale being has a passive glow

[tawdry valley]

Are you even a real lore nerd if you don’t know the canonical reason for the floating dirt cubes in hard to traverse areas

[wild plinth]

They all swallowed glowing toys

[glossy berry]

and as we all know the knight is a reincarnation of the pale king

[past creek]

so do you and i and everyone here i dont see your point

[tidal ruin]

My glow is green

[atomic sparrow]

https://tenor.com/view/blue-lock-isagi-serious-gif-12080676386721333901

[lone crown]

I might be onto something

[tidal ruin]

Not enough flies

[still elm]

Team Cherry being way more alive lately has been so refreshing

[wild plinth]

Does he stink or smth?

[atomic sparrow]

yes

[trim estuary]

Have they been more alive though

[tidal ruin]

Tc said one thing on kickstarter
Tc members and silksong have been alive

[still elm]

2 things ACTUALLY

they just backed Graig’s game on Kickstarter

[lone crown]

Christopher larkin said something, leth said something, TC said something on kickstarter, and there’s been the new snippets that came out so yeah its been a win lately

[opaque sigil]

(The glow from pk is diegetic but from hornet and TK it’s not, it’s just to make it easier to track their locations that they gave a spotlight)

[lone crown]

That too

[lone crown]

Smh you ruined the fun

[opaque sigil]

Shh that’s why the parentheses are there

[tidal ruin]

Last time I saw someone glowing they gave me radiation poisoning

[still elm]

And William has been posting his abstract slam poetry on his twitter more often

[lone crown]

Well he always does

But

[still elm]

At a more frequent rate I’ve noticed

[lone crown]

More time on his hands… more tweets…. Silk confirmed

[still elm]

Ik that’s kinda baseless but still

[opaque sigil]

Because I’m sure he sinks enough time into that twitter that that matters

[harsh yarrow]

This is probably more a gameplay thing, but a really funny way to explain it with lore lol

[lone crown]

Yeah ik its for gameplay but its also funny to look at it from a lore perspective you can just cook up and have it make some ounce of sense

[warm birch]

.

[opaque sigil]

It shrinks in dark rooms

[tidal ruin]

.

[glossy berry]

yeah man you said it

[lone crown]

darkness is void then

The very lighting is void

Dark deepnest? Yeah, void

[fiery burrow]

As if you could write gems like "How to permanently calcify your pineal gland for a good night’s rest" in less than an hour

[tidal ruin]

if honret gloes, does that meen honret is viod??

[lone crown]

Hornet is only void when she dies

Since the screen turns black

[warm birch]

What if spiders are made of void

[tidal ruin]

what if void is made of spiders

[warm birch]

genius

[harsh yarrow]

I love that this ignores that Hornet leaks soul when on low health instead

[lone crown]

If this aint void i dont know what is

[harsh yarrow]

Death

[tidal ruin]

vantablack paint

[warm birch]

Its spiders, duh

[serene chasm]

scene transition

[harsh yarrow]

its gay, duh

[trim estuary]

hornet is NOT made of screen transitions

[harsh yarrow]

idk where I was going with that tbh

[lone crown]

Well she does use silk as a conduit for her soul, her using soul isnt shocking

[opaque sigil]

The loading screens are made of void

[warm birch]

Shes made of a red cloak

[tidal ruin]

may as well say everything is void

[trim estuary]

From the void I rise and to the void I one day will return

[lone crown]

Is hornet related to the grimm troupe? Her cloak changed to a more vibrant red

[still elm]

She ate too much black licorice

[fiery burrow]

Shell is white chocolate body is milk chocolate and the cloak is the wrapper

[warm birch]

SHE IS NOT

[lone crown]

Yes she is

[warm birch]

WHY DOES EVERYONE SAY THAT

[serene chasm]

We also havent seen hornets death since the demo so it could have easily changed

[tidal ruin]

would this mean markoth is also a grimmy

[lone crown]

She has an uncanny resemblance to Grimm!!!

[still elm]

I appreciate the emphasis on readability

haven't seen em in this channel for a while

can't say it's a huge loss

[fiery burrow]

pogobro was active?

[final lichen]

Do we have a month for SS

he literally made a video whining about people disagreeing with him on discord what do you think

🎉

[lone crown]

Pichu’s back at least

[fiery burrow]

Based..

Is that video still up

[opaque sigil]

no

[glossy berry]

dont spread misinfo

[glossy berry]

no confirmation

[warm birch]

Im theorizing

[hushed glen]

canonically hornet is a "beast" since Herrah was one

[opaque sigil]

it's a simple question just answer it correctly and don't jam your random bullshit in

[lone crown]

Nothing confirmed yet
But im betting my life on June

[fiery burrow]

it is not thats heartbreaking

[opaque sigil]

when people ask if there's a month they're asking for confirmation not shit you read in the stars

[warm birch]

ok we’ll see then

[lone crown]

I signed a deal with the devil, I will get banned by Powdered if no silk on June

[glossy berry]

im expecting about summer too, but they asked an actual question not what your thoughts are

dont throw in theory lmao

[paper vapor]

People are thinking as early as April, but I’m betting June

[warm birch]

i put a ? at the end

[kind drum]

June

[final lichen]

Well it appears the King's genes where more dominant Since... the "general" shape of hornet

[still elm]

June at the earliest

[fiery burrow]

Grimm is also a spider since he's a shapeshifter

[lone crown]

Saying “April or June?” Implies “either or”, not “idk”

[normal token]

Gonna play it safe and say a range of June to September

[kind drum]

are we not allowed to spread misinformation now

[opaque sigil]

you don't have to say anything

[still elm]

Realistically i think mid July

[final lichen]

Along side Deltarune ?

[lone crown]

Its been a rule day one

[opaque sigil]

you can in fact just say "we don't know"

[lone crown]

Or at least back then it was cool

[warm birch]

I wasnt spreading misinformation

[paper vapor]

Feel like asking something as simple as “April or June?” Shouldn’t warrant this much discourse

[warm birch]

stop trying to start an argumen

[opaque sigil]

yes you were

[warm birch]

EXACTLY

[kind drum]

are we not allowed to start arguments now

[lone crown]

It was said in response to someone asking for a release month

Which is misinfo, its not that big of a deal

[still elm]

I don’t think any game can really “detract” from Silksong’s performance

[paper vapor]

Idk this seems to be a slight overreaction, but that’s just my opinion

[empty musk]

there is no reaction harsh enough for misinfo

[shell yacht]

[still elm]

Silksong does like 2 million minimum week 1

[shell yacht]

Then don't say stupid shit like that again move on

[viscid wind]

It takes immense practice and concentration, years of learning even

[warm birch]

HOW IS @lone crown ALLOWED TO DO IT

[tidal ruin]

I can't do it either

[lone crown]

You have to be a user from 2020 to ping TC

[tawdry valley]

You lack balance

[lone crown]

OGs only

[lament igloo]

The only way to know about it is if you were there when the script was written

[lone crown]

Did you hear the mods? No

[warm birch]

😦

[brittle garnet]

I think blue tools all have something to do with your silk meter or spells, and yellow tools are just miscellaneous passives like charms were

[tidal ruin]

no I didn't, I only saw what they typed

[viscid wind]

nor ari nor william are coming here I don't think, at most leth

[empty musk]

could someone post the rules in here again? i forgot

[viscid wind]

Probably all busy.

[warm birch]

blue is support i think

[brittle garnet]

That means nothing

[brittle garnet]

What do you mean by support

[warm birch]

Working on Silksong XD

[glossy berry]

what does this even mean

[empty musk]

thanks

[dusty nimbus]

I feel red tools taste like strawberry, yellow ones like pinneapple and blue ones like battery acid

[viscid wind]

i mean leth is marketing so he's probably Marketing

[tidal ruin]

no that game is done

[lament igloo]

Why did you ping tc th9

[warm birch]

bro didnt wanna ping so she took pic of it

[lone crown]

Piss jar tastes like strawberry?

[viscid wind]

monster

[normal token]

Yellow are def passive cuz we saw the equivelant wayward compass
We did see the silk meter have some green blob + a moss item in the blue tools so maybe could be that

[glossy berry]

we havent had a message from core team in a couple years i dont think

unless im stupid and forget

[empty musk]

can confirm

[normal token]

Technically they just replied to a backer a few days ago 🤓

[viscid wind]

yeah i don't think either
Thinking is bad for you

[dusty nimbus]

A high sulfur methane build up smells like strawberry yes

[lone crown]

Okay I’ll spoil the joke
It doesn’t ACTUALLY ping them. It doesn’t work, but don’t encourage it anyway cause people will just start trying to do it

[warm birch]

um look at @noble hamlet s history

[serene chasm]

[serene chasm]

can we stop pinging people for no reason

[shell yacht]

[dusty nimbus]

You know about the rat on mountain dew lawsuit?

[glossy berry]

hey joker

[empty musk]

dude Leth gets stressed if you spam ping him

[wild plinth]

All out war

[lament igloo]

Nah dud.

[brittle garnet]

Yeah i think blue tools all have something to do with silk because the icon for blue is scissors

[fiery burrow]

Everytime you ping leth he breaks out sobbing its really sad for everyone so please don't

[barren sequoia]

Its like tapping the glass on a fishtank

[warm birch]

Lets just talk skong okay

[lament igloo]

Look what no silksong does to people

[barren sequoia]

It's not good for them

[lament igloo]

They start pinging leth

[lone crown]

Every time you ping Leth the game gets delayed by a second

[tidal ruin]

does this mean silksong news severely upsets him

[viscid wind]

Most terrible sin known to mankind

[marsh ibex]

people’ve been doing foolish stuff for ages

[dusty nimbus]

Who do I ping to make the game take less time?

[empty musk]

yes team cherry is kind so they dont overwhelm him with news

[atomic sparrow]

since when ? dawn of man ?

[glossy berry]

dont lump us in with this lmao T-T
people have been stupid forever a lack of silksong doesnt mean that

Every time you ping Leth an anicent being from years ago spawns in this world and sets out to find you

[lament igloo]

But what did i expect

[shell yacht]

Obama

[dusty nimbus]

I am pinging Australia's PM

[lament igloo]

Can people not tell when im kidding?

[barren sequoia]

They usually pop up at in person events a few times a year

[viscid wind]

FOUR FUCKING PIXELS????

[lament igloo]

Alright jeez.

[tidal ruin]

This just in: Silksong news is incredibly rare because news causes everyone pings, and being pings gives leth a winter soldier moment

[atomic sparrow]

who ?

[lament lotus]

hey guys

[atomic sparrow]

hey guys

[barren sequoia]

They're allocated 30 hours outside the office every month

[dusty nimbus]

Hi Andy

Hi Astro

[lament lotus]

oh hi chaos

[dusty nimbus]

Now gn from me

[tidal ruin]

the game coulda been out 3 years ago if tc just stopped sleeping

[lament lotus]

havent seen you in a whike

oh goodnight

[lone crown]

Time freezes for Leth and TC by 24 hours for every ping, delaying the game

[solid swift]

Guys I think Silksong should be delayed to 2026 so they fix all bugs and polish it even more. Who's with me?

[dusty nimbus]

Timezone probably, I don't stay awake for a while longer nowdays

[coarse leaf]

no

[normal token]

I'm thinking it should be delayed to 2030 to have all the time they need

[barren sequoia]

Team cherry should just like not give a shit about bug fixing

Ship the game

[coarse leaf]

this

[fiery burrow]

Bugs give the game character

[lone crown]

Ship Lacenet

[serene chasm]

Last person who pinged leth had his ninjas sent to their house and was never heard of again

[barren sequoia]

Make the community fix the game

[glossy berry]

im sure all these pings have been super stressful on the team </3

gotta give them time to rebuild morale

[viscid wind]

Steam support reference

[fiery burrow]

I'd delay the game for 3 months to get colored blood back

[opaque sigil]

3 years*

[barren sequoia]

I wouldnt be surprised if like ari and willem arent even logged onto discord anymlre

[lament igloo]

They sure need the energy to fix the background grass again

[normal token]

Puppetmaster theory is dead cuz they removed the strings after an enemy dies

[lone crown]

Modding scene for SS will be insane

[lone crown]

I think it depends on enemy type

[trim estuary]

just like all of mossbag's spies 😔

the more devoted cultists might not need to have strings

[tidal ruin]

Imagine if we get a tmodloader for silksong
Smodskonger

[normal token]

100% someone's gonna mod all hk bosses in once we get a grasp of it

[light inlet]

skillsong

[barren sequoia]

Might also be dependent on how many enemies you're fighting

The effect may just not be used in multifights to stop clutter

[viscid wind]

, no, just no

[lament igloo]

The villager started playing skong

[fiery burrow]

Absrad but you have to pogo your traps to do phase 4 because there's no double jump

[open narwhal]

skomg

[viscid wind]

no skill required

[lone crown]

Cant wait for the “massive lore revelation” that we’ve probably already thrown out there as an idea before so we won’t be shocked at all

[light inlet]

I gave them mending because they deleted half the source code

[quiet token]

Someone should make every surface in hk sloped

[viscid wind]

ascend is PHASE 5

[barren sequoia]

Weaver evil theory

[lament igloo]

Real

[barren sequoia]

Thats the massive lore revelation mark my words

[fiery burrow]

Absrad has 3 phases.

[barren sequoia]

I am the prophet

[lone crown]

I love the Weaver Rogue boss

[trim estuary]

why dont you just use the silk grapple

[viscid wind]

absrad has 7 phases

[normal token]

Everyone calm the fuck down

Team Cherry just released a new trailer

[quiet token]

And then call it ori and the blind forest

[lament igloo]

I just realised something, we pretty much got the whole game spoiled to us by now (not really) but think about it

(Edge magazine)

[barren sequoia]

I hope we do fight a weaver at some point

[lament lotus]

wondering what went through their mind when they wrote that title

[tidal ruin]

what if hornet is a returning boss

[lament igloo]

No shot.

[tidal ruin]

I'd love to fight hornet as hornet

[fiery burrow]

HK leaned hard on the goofy stuff in marketing

[barren sequoia]

Evil hornet clone and its just her hk moveset

[lament igloo]

Hk release!!

[lament lotus]

this silksong marketing theyre doing is real goofy

[lone crown]

Silksong, RELEASE!

Hm I wonder if these are supposed to be characters

[lament lotus]

i really should watch the movie

[lone crown]

Nah i think that’s just a fork and a vase

[lament lotus]

i hear the theatres are either jampack full or empty as hell

[barren sequoia]

It's awful

its not good unless youre drunk or high with friends

[lofty parrot]

Hello. I was wondering has it ever been shown how Hornet obtains tools? Does she need to find them, discover their recipes, or maybe collect broken versions that are then crafted or repaired into usable tools?

[craggy cave]

The knight brutally murders a village elder

[quiet token]

They peaked at the first trailer ngl, they couldn't afford to put kevin macleod music in their game so they went with cheap Christopher larkin labour

[lament lotus]

its not even decent?

[lone crown]

We see one tool location actually

[lone crown]

https://cdn.discordapp.com/attachments/586931790208434203/724735006983061518/scene.gif

Top right, straightpins OR tri-pins

Idk if thats upgraded or the first

Maybe just the first variant since Grindle’s probably an early character

[carmine island]

thats the quadpins

[lone crown]

As he gives hints in exchange for rosaries

[normal token]

If we go by demo probably tri-pins since straight pins seem really early

[warm birch]

is it just me or did discord crash

[still elm]

Straight pins

[carmine island]

theres four

[lofty parrot]

ok thank you very much for the information

[tidal ruin]

it was your fbi agent protecting you from the flaming

[median fractal]

gay pins

[lone crown]

Its implied we might also learn from enemies, but we don’t know. Hornet mimics some enemies we have already seen

[still elm]

It’s weird cuz Straight pins are the first tool you get, but this looks like a mid game area

[lone crown]

And she adds her own flair to them

[lament lotus]

ok the aura around it is SIGNIFICANTLY bigger than hollowknights items

[quiet token]

billions weep for what could have been... sneaky snitch playing at thk........

[carmine island]

hello peng

[lone crown]

I actually think its not as late as we think

Grindle being a hint character, hud still having five masks, i dont know

We’ll have to see ig

[still elm]

Also this confirms you get the moss bead tool in the early game

[dense temple]

HELLO🇹🇷🇹🇷🇹🇷

[lament lotus]

lets have a look

[empty musk]

good eye, probably in moss grotto

[opaque sigil]

it really doesn't

[still elm]

Yeah maybe this is near Bellhart/the marrow

[opaque sigil]

the way they get footage for things isn't by playing the game normally

[coarse leaf]

i get the impression you have strong feelings about the Hagia Sophia

[normal token]

I wouldn't take the hud's mask as something to scale progression
Seth's boss gif has it at 5 masks too

[opaque sigil]

there's not really much reason to think a normal playthrough would involve having the things they have in a clip

[lone crown]

Right yeah

[still elm]

Okay nvm

[lone crown]

Then idk. I still feel like its proooobably early

[median fractal]

testing consequences

[brittle garnet]

Yeah they can just dev tools teleport themselves anywhere and give themselves any item

[dense temple]

Mosque

[opaque sigil]

it has straight pins so yeah

[empty musk]

i think its a mix of random hud but im sure some clips have huds that are similar to what youd have

[lone crown]

But what if its the triple upgrade location

[quiet token]

https://youtu.be/a3mxLL7nX1E?si=BUQ6uPc9IJ8E3Pa3 listen to this and tell me it wouldn't be peak as the thk theme you wont

[still elm]

Yeah the architecture feels somewhere between bellhart and greymoor

[opaque sigil]

I imagine that's relatively early too

[lament lotus]

https://tenor.com/view/ofergang-daniel-gif-25330530

[carmine island]

https://tenor.com/view/ofergang-daniel-gif-25330530

[barren sequoia]

Id imagine an upgrade

[empty musk]

damn i thought christopher larkin was good but this is amazing

[barren sequoia]

This seems not like very early game and I think that the pins should be the very first tool you get

It gives hornet range and should be pretty spammable

[still elm]

What’s our opinion on the broken spool

[frosty ore]

Silksong 2025

[lament lotus]

taste good

[empty musk]

imo fixed very quickly in tutorial esque area

[carmine island]

for the last time theres FOUR pins!!!

[normal token]

Something that happens when you die and haven't recovered your silk cocoon

[still elm]

Do we think it’s a result of a cocoon, or you just start like that

[median fractal]

I think you start like that to get introduced to it

[glossy berry]

new screenshot in the starting area shows a broken spool

[median fractal]

That's my guess...

you also fall (?) so I assume the spool would break potentially

And then you fix it by doing whatever (I am clueless)

[glossy berry]

unclear if it's from a death or tutorial mechanic

[still elm]

Maybe both

[glossy berry]

you start a steel soul run and it instantly ends as you fall down the chasm

[median fractal]

sooo true

[normal token]

What if it is both?

[median fractal]

also silk soul* 🤓 👈

[normal token]

Like you get fixed after intro of moss grotto but then becomes broken whenever you die again

[median fractal]

Also I am excited to see Silk Soul, they said they had ideas to make it more than just a simple hardcore mode

[glossy berry]

yeah thats my running theory

[still elm]

Maybe you get the cap from the Church Keeper

[carmine island]

in the gif

[still elm]

The Church Keeper probably gives Hornet the “Call to Adventure” of this Hero’s Journey

[carmine island]

WHAT DO YOU MENA THERES OBVIOUSLY FOUR

[harsh yarrow]

I assume that you get the straight pins from Grindle

[fossil pawn]

still cant believe its coming out by september

[lone crown]

I need everyone’s help with finding where this area is

[median fractal]

do we think Silksong will feature a persisting character similar to Hornet in the first game?

[shell yacht]

In silksong

[median fractal]

lowkey feature hornet 2 🔥

[lone crown]

My guess is, is it in the Far Fields?

[still elm]

Probably near the Citadel base

[woeful cedar]

head up through tilted towers and over loot lake

[full rune]

what if hornet was the persisting character...

[shell yacht]

Lace and Seth

[median fractal]

I read this as Far Lands 🔥

[glossy berry]

is this not far fields or wtv

[harsh yarrow]

Thats what I guess

[lone crown]

Well thats what i just said

[still elm]

The foliage is slightly different to far fields

[lone crown]

Also ah that’s where the wind comes from, floating rocks

[harsh yarrow]

Area bordering the base of the Citidel and Far Fields?

[glossy berry]

mhm mhm
discord latency sorry youre probably right

[lone crown]

Well im not 100% sure

I want to find matching assets from other areas to definitively pinpoint where that ruins area is

[glossy berry]

wind still seems to exist Slightly below the rock, i assume thats stylistic though

unclear if that extends

[lament lotus]

wind rock

[sand lodge]

The vegetation and the vine things are similar in this one

[carmine island]

maybe the rock is floating up?

[still elm]

Far fields is probably way below the citadel base

[lone crown]

Holy shit you cooked

[lament lotus]

silksong is so pretty

[still elm]

Yeah it’s probably in the swamp above Greymoor

[lone crown]

And this area we’ve seen many times. Meaning the vine creature may be a boss in the swamp?

[lament lotus]

oh its fake? really nice fake

[normal token]

That screenshot is not fake

[glossy berry]

no this is real

we have a ton of screenshots scattered around

[lament lotus]

what does this mean then 😭

[still elm]

There’s probably an area or two Team Cherry has completely withheld from showing

[glossy berry]

in finding it/the link i assume

[normal token]

They mean as in they cooked with finding the connection

[lament lotus]

oh

[sand lodge]

It also looks similar to this room which could mean that the swamp area is close to the base of the citadel where the flower petals are coming from

[glossy berry]

definitely more i'd guess

[lament lotus]

that makes sense then

[normal token]

I'm willing to bet there are like 5

[fossil pawn]

seth is goated

[sage berry]

hmm should I be the messenger of the devil?
nah I'll let the kids enjoy the hype

[lament lotus]

wait is that venom

[glossy berry]

we have what, 8 or 9 confirmed areas? hk had like 18

[fossil pawn]

just say what you want to say, damn it

[sand lodge]

Perhaps

[still elm]

Flower area
^
Swamp area
^
Greymoor

[fossil pawn]

your about me literally says misinfo spreader

[lament lotus]

theres definitely like 20+

[carmine island]

lol

[sage berry]

alright

[carmine island]

god youre taking your time

[sage berry]

so, the fact there we got a release window and not a release date means the game is not totally super 100% complete, there might be a few things left
and you guys know how William and Ari are. In the last minute they decide to add something to the game and it delays for 5 more years
bottom line, it might still not come out in 2025

thats it I'm out, have fun

[opaque sigil]

saying nothing

[glossy berry]

oh so this is nothing then okay who cares

[lone crown]

Furthermore, all these places have matching wall textures. Meaning the scissor guys in Greymoor’s windmills alongside Seth himself, whose arena has the petals, may be horizontally along the swamp area, partially

[shell yacht]

Wow it was absolutely nothing, I was hoping it was some stupid bullshit and I could ban them

[normal token]

Bro is onto nothing

[sage berry]

if only
I could start a sequel discussion if you'd like

[lone crown]

Is it said outright somewhere?

[opaque sigil]

the bell town is between greymoor and the swamp

[opaque sigil]

you can see the wall of bells

[lone crown]

That genuinely makes a lot of sense and is what i actually had in mind

[opaque sigil]

it's in the caravan/garmond room on the left and in the one with the sting shard javelin bug on the right

[lament lotus]

oh yeah folks does anyone know what happened to outerlogic

[lone crown]

Yep i remember now

[still elm]

Forgot the steps

[desert citrus]

Ain't it the other way around?

[lone crown]

Awesome, i always knew the swamp was on the left

[lone crown]

No. Tammo meant the walls of Bellhart

[still elm]

Assuming the steps are even an area

[lone crown]

Like in the garmond shot, bellhart’s wall is on the left

And the opposite for swamp

[desert citrus]

Ok, I was thinking about how you'd see it on a map

[lone crown]

Yeah on a map, it’d be swamp left greymoor right relative to bellhart

[glossy berry]

account deleted apparently i dont know a ton of details :P

which sucks

[coarse leaf]

Any news today?

[still elm]

Not really

[brittle garnet]

this is 100% i the swampy area

[opaque sigil]

wouldn't be surprised if it's something like this

[full rune]

you can check the channel that has news in it for news

[lone crown]

Yep

[normal token]

https://issilksongout.com/

[lone crown]

All times we’ve seen the swamp

[glossy berry]

you can just set #hk-announcements notifs on lmao

[still elm]

Team Cherry backed Graig’s game on Kickstarter, that’s about it

[coarse leaf]

Gotcha

[coarse leaf]

That's Awesome

[carmine island]

we need an image of all the screenshots sorted in what areas we think they could be in

[lament lotus]

dang 😔

[carmine island]

Look at the platforms, and the cage itself
Overgrown with seemingly gold under it

[lament lotus]

btw did you have any previous usernames/accounts

[harsh yarrow]

Overgrown section of Bellhart? Or of the Citidel?

[acoustic briar]

Silksong tomorrow

[glossy berry]

yeah :c

it happens
ss-disc giveth and taketh away

[still elm]

Hang on, is The Marrow an area

[coarse leaf]

[still elm]

We have that clip of hornet platforming through the marrow

[brittle garnet]

we know it's an area yeah

[harsh yarrow]

Indeed

Marrow is the path between the "start" (Moss Grotto and Bonebottom) into the "rest" of the game

After you get Silkspear

[sand lodge]

I noticed in the top right of this clip there is a deep docks looking platform. Don't really know if this implies that the deep docks are close or maybe its just reused assests for another similar looking area

[normal token]

Honestly it looks really out of place

[harsh yarrow]

I think the current theory is that "deep docks" is just one of many "docks"

There being other ones supplying the citidel with other resources

[brittle garnet]

1. Moss Grotto
2. Boneforest
3. Deep Docks
4. Far Fields
5. Marrow
6. Greymoor
7. Clover area
8. Barnacle area
9. Coral Forest
10. Swamp area
11. Dusty/sandy area
12. Citadel
13. Clocktower(probably part of citadel)

Dubious mentions (most likely parts of other areas)

• Wherever pukebug is
• Wherever Grindle is
• Slope spore area
• Furnaces
• trash compactor

here's the list of areas we've seen

[cedar forum]

Are we not gonna get silk song on steam?

[still elm]

Clocktower is probably in Greymoor

[harsh yarrow]

missing a few

[sand lodge]

I first thought it looked like a placeholder thing they put there for the trailer, but its barely even visible so who knows

[trim estuary]

Shellwood Forest 🥹

[brittle garnet]

i doubt it, i think it's almost definitely in the citadel

[harsh yarrow]

Heres my list
Every area in Silksong we know so far
subareas are designated with -(xyz)

Moss Grotto
-(Moss Temple?)
Bonebottom
-(Weavers Den?)
-(Marrow?)
Forest of Bones
Deepdocks
Far Fields
-(Ant City?)
Bellheart
Clocktower
Greymoor
-(Tavern)
Citadel
-(Dusty Vault)

-MISC, IDK WHERE TO PUT THESES-
Spore Monastery
Choral Gorage
Barnacle Bay
Desert
Swamp
Clover Fields

[glossy berry]

used to lurk/chat sometimes for a while years back, old account that had my deadname tacked all over it that i deleted lmao

deleted it and switched to this/stopped talking consistently for Ages idk
we ball lmao 2025 news is good for dredging older folks out, good to be back ig(?)

[brittle garnet]

can we not make up names that arent known

[trim estuary]

still no shellwood forest 😔

[brittle garnet]

and just say clover area

[cedar forum]

Will silk song release on steam

[glossy berry]

yes, day one

[still elm]

Clover area is defo just a region in Moss Grotto

[uncut citrus]

isnt it coral

[harsh yarrow]

no

[cedar forum]

Yay i got so scared lol

[trim estuary]

its coral gorge in game yea

[harsh yarrow]

yes, but thats boring as fuck

[still elm]

I don’t think the clovers are their own area

[harsh yarrow]

unless I see it spelt otherwise I will call it the choral gorge

[brittle garnet]

first of all you count towns as areas (i don't think you should)
and I don't think the marrow is a sub-area

[trim estuary]

it is literally confirmed to be called the coral gorge

[dusty glen]

maybe but an end game part of it it might seem
All the screens from it have some of the highest mask counts on the hud

[trim estuary]

Shellwood forest...

[still elm]

Coral Forest i thought

[uncut citrus]

whats a Gorage anyways

[harsh yarrow]

Its how Hollow Knight does it

[brittle garnet]

I don't think we should count it

[dusty glen]

Gorge : Some sort of canyon
A bit

[brittle garnet]

Bonebottom is a town IN Moss Grotto and Boneforest

[uncut citrus]

Gorge i know

[misty reef]

Pretty

[brittle garnet]

Bellhart is a town IN the marrow (or in greymoor you could say)

[lament lotus]

ohh that clears it up, thanks

[harsh yarrow]

the town in moss grotto is the Moss Temple

[dusty glen]

It might be it's own kinda area like Dirtmouth

[uncut citrus]

i guess she meant Gorge but you never know with the Choral

[still elm]

I don’t think Weavers den is an area

[brittle garnet]

we don't know if that is a town

[dusty glen]

Again might be like Dirtmouth : Be it's own kind of area

[harsh yarrow]

Theres one in Bonebottom, or well, nearby

[still elm]

I just think that’s what the crest shrines look like

[brittle garnet]

i count an area as something with its own map that you can explore

[harsh yarrow]

We know this from the Edge Magazine

[brittle garnet]

dirtmouth doesn't count either

[harsh yarrow]

I just put it there as its just how HK does it

[dusty glen]

I'm pretty sure Choral means a group of singers ??
Coral is the actual thing

[frozen frigate]

i think choral means something like a choir

[uncut citrus]

that was specifically what i was not asking

whateverrrrr

[sage berry]

oh I didnt realize it was you serrara
keep thriving queen

[harsh yarrow]

Yes, also very conveniently sounds quite similar to Coral, while being related to song which is important to Silksong

[true storm]

Random stuff

[brittle garnet]

while that is a cool name i would prefer if we didn't make up names, for the sake of clarity

[glossy berry]

yeah no apologies for the confusion and all T-T
losing sam remains a lil tragic she was neat :<

[harsh yarrow]

Look, if an H makes you forget that coral gorge is a place, you've got bigger problems

[glossy berry]

oh hell yeah

[frozen frigate]

why do we think it's called silksong like what meaning could silksong have in terms of the game yknow

[harsh yarrow]

Pharloom is haunted by Silk and by Song

[dusty glen]

There is silk and there is song
And Hornet plays song with her silk on her needle

[trim estuary]

alliteration

[brittle garnet]

Bonebottom is the starting town, called that explicitly

[harsh yarrow]

Yes

[dusty glen]

I think this what intrigues me the most
What will Hornet playing soings serve as a purpose

[stoic sigil]

I hear that Hollow Knight Silksong will be a finished game on release

[harsh yarrow]

I know

[brittle garnet]

and again just because it's noted on the map doesn't make it an area

[lament lotus]

yeah 😔

[glossy berry]

can we not spread misinfo in chat </3
lmao

[true storm]

We hear lots of things.

[harsh yarrow]

Once again, and Im not sure how I can say it differently, its just how Hollow Knight does it

[gray parcel]

But do you ever listen?

[dusty glen]

That seems like an entirely arbitrary way of classifying it

[trim estuary]

Unlike a certain DLC I know...

[true storm]

[livid tree]

were you kirbstar???

[gray parcel]

https://gif.fxtwitter.com/tweet_video/GoGvhioXAAEc-kU.gif

[harsh yarrow]

And unlike other towns that probably exist, like the one in/around the moss temple, we know it does infact exist, and we know its name

[brittle garnet]

i think "an area that you can explore and would have its own map" is very clear

[stoic sigil]

Pain World: The Washout

[viscid wind]

What did i do

[livid tree]

im so happy for you

[lament lotus]

my son(s)

[dusty glen]

I mean
yeah
But that's written where ? That's what YOU decided
To me an area is : Something that has it's own map
Like DIrtmouth counts

[viscid wind]

https://tenor.com/view/rain-world-rain-world-watcher-gif-15345038142849397779

[gray parcel]

What DIDNT you do is the question

[dusty glen]

But Again Bonebottom might not

[lament lotus]

the watcher came out finished???

[brittle garnet]

but it doesn't have its own map, it's on the forgotten crossroads map

[dusty glen]

wait

[brittle garnet]

unless i'm misremembering

[dusty glen]

is it

I might be as well

[stoic sigil]

I have never played Rain World

[dusty glen]

lemme check

[viscid wind]

Mid world

[acoustic briar]

Abyss and white palace also don't have their own maps. That doesn't make them not areas

[brittle garnet]

like i'm fairly certain you can only view dirtmouth on the map after you buy the crossroads map

[harsh yarrow]

Dirtmouth is counted as an area in the Hollow Knight wiki, and is counted as such by the game map itself
the only thing for it not being an area is that you get the map of it when you get the Crossroads map

[glossy berry]

theres 18 areas in hk including towns yeah

[harsh yarrow]

Also by the games map Kings Pass is part of Dirtmouth

[brittle garnet]

i also think it's more useful to call something an area when it has things to explore and content to do

[fiery burrow]

The Abyss is a subarea of basin

[harsh yarrow]

The Abyss isnt on the map to start with lol

[trim estuary]

Did they not explicitly state that they were holding some content until after the console release

[brittle garnet]

anyways

[harsh yarrow]

Far more like Soul Sanctum, or Ancestral Mound

[dusty glen]

that's the full map
Dirtmouth is considered it's own thing but not the abyss for example

[lament lotus]

i dont know, ive been steering clear of the DLC to avoid spoilers so maybe they did

[harsh yarrow]

Or the Teachers Archive

[dusty glen]

And yet the HIVE is

[lament lotus]

oh cool

i mean why did they just delay the dlc until the console version was finished

[trim estuary]

[harsh yarrow]

it doesnt make complete sense, but I see no reason to diverge from how HK does it

[glossy berry]

forgot about this 🙃
blurgh

why didnt they just drop it simultaneously finished lmao

[fiery burrow]

Stuff like Dirtmouth, The Abyss, White Palace, etc are so different from other areas that they don't make a ton of sense to include imo

[trim estuary]

i hope they (mild rw watcher spoilers) ||add some of the stuff from the campaign to other campaigns or sandbox or arena or expedition so theres some replayability||

[fiery burrow]

I got the watcher for like 6 bucks it was a pretty sweet deal

[glossy berry]

im a lil iffy about it still but its an absolutely gorgeous dlc

its worse than downpour but i do think the reception was far too harsh on it lmao

[fiery burrow]

I'm trying to derust with a survivor playthrough

shoulda listened to my overseer

[brittle garnet]

Ok a small exercise: Which areas do you think these scenes are in?

[lament lotus]

greyloom or whatever its called

[acoustic briar]

Easy. All four are in lower tram

[brittle garnet]

i for one think grindle and pukebug are in the same area

[shell yacht]

Pharloom

[glossy berry]

i almost forgot about it my beloved

vaguely upsetting creature

[trim estuary]

pleasing to the eyes

[frigid basin]

is this serious or ironic

[slow shale]

The far loom

[cobalt hatch]

I think it's a placeholder

[glossy berry]

presumably cogworks for the latter lmao

[brittle garnet]

obviously

[normal token]

Ye, release window is till end of this year

[glossy berry]

shocker right google doesnt innately know more than us

Woah

[brittle garnet]

you owe me a juice

[worldly marlin]

its finally been done.

[glossy berry]

congrats!!

[glossy berry]

its actually phenomenal i love it so much

all the motion blur is done manually with just bricks its awesome

[lone crown]

Told ya! Just practice

I knew you could do it GG

[worldly marlin]

you gave me the motivation to do so 💪

[glossy berry]

:D
hella impressive either way, well done on the achievement lmao

[gray parcel]

Now go play a good game

[worldly marlin]

is hollow knight not good :(

[gray parcel]

No

[worldly marlin]

what do you recommend

[gray parcel]

Monster hunter wilds

Terraria

[fiery burrow]

[gray parcel]

Don’t play any soulsborne slop

[gray parcel]

https://gif.fxtwitter.com/tweet_video/GoGvhioXAAEc-kU.gif

[fiery burrow]

armored core

[stable estuary]

Hollow knight

[gray parcel]

That’s not a soulsborne

That’s a soulslike

“Soulslike”

[gray parcel]

NEW GENS come into MY SS chat And LOOK DOWN on ME

[chilly crane]

Flint and kneeeelll

[stable estuary]

People treatin souls genre like drink options

[gray parcel]

What are you taking about

Soulsborne isn’t a genre

[fiery burrow]

Soulslike is a derogatory term because Dark Souls is bad

[chilly crane]

Silly fella….. you are a new gen…

[glossy berry]

soulsborne isnt a genre its just the souls games and bloodborne lol

[stable estuary]

Souls lite souls like soulsborne souls light

[gray parcel]

They banned me, I swear I’m og 💔

[fiery burrow]

Man I'm having a tough time getting into games

[gray parcel]

Soulsborne is literally the actual dark souls games, bloodborne, and Elden ring 😭

Souls like is stuff that people consider “hard”

[lone crown]

And demon’s souls

[gray parcel]

The forgotten child

[glossy berry]

curious if you include sekiro in there personally or no, that seems to vary between people

[gray parcel]

It’s too different from the others for me to call it one imo

[stable estuary]

Speaking of souls rip offs

[lone crown]

Structurally in terms of linearity and item placement yeah id consider it as one but gameplay-wise hell no (and actual level design using grappling and ledges)

[stable estuary]

When is the indie genre gonna get off making games that look and play exactly like Hollow Knight. We already got over the BotW model in the AAA world.

[lone crown]

That’s been happening

[knotty solar]

@rancid crystal @verbal ocean why skong hate

[verbal ocean]

cause its not real

[gray parcel]

Stop playing indie slop? 😭

[knotty solar]

Bruh this channel has cooldown this is dumb

[gray parcel]

It’s gonna be mid

[worldly marlin]

I honestly wouldn't mind as long as they have a different story

[gray parcel]

Like hollow knight

[lone crown]

https://tenor.com/view/slowmode-hate-server-sponge-bob-squidward-gif-26896418

[knotty solar]

Real

[primal horizon]

i have not seen you in a while Goodness Me

[glossy berry]

are you under the impression that hk invented the metroidvania genre lmao

inspiration is not a bad thing i feel like branding those indie games as clones isnt great

none of us are fireborn thankfully

[stable estuary]

It’s like the exact same thing tho MC has a big head small body the background is super high fidelity and hand drawn with a lot of bloom and lighting effects

[gray parcel]

Nor have I

[fiery burrow]

Do you hear yourself

[stable estuary]

Publishers in the indie space have an absolute obsession with hollow knight

With good reason I guess

[gray parcel]

Masquerade gotta be baiting

[fiery burrow]

Bro thinks hand drawn backgrounds are an HK thing

[knotty solar]

I dont think that art inspirarion counts as a ripoff

[gray parcel]

Yeah like terraria is such a HK clone

[lone crown]

Cuphead is a Hollow Knight ripoff. Hollow Knight is a ripoff of Ori… smh

[atomic sparrow]

and ori is a ripoff of minecraft

[glossy berry]

guy who has only ever played hollow knight voice: yeah man these hand drawn features and common design elements have gotta be plagiarized

[stable estuary]

That’s the thing you’re latching on to is the hand drawn

[primal horizon]

hi. no offense but this is the stupidest thing i've heard today

[knotty solar]

Rayman literally copied hk 😡 😡 😡

[glossy berry]

hollow knight did not invent the genre tropes and design elements it uses what so you want us to say

[worldly marlin]

pretty sure it was metroid dread

[glossy berry]

bait is funny, this is just a bad take

[primal horizon]

actually no the mods can't kill me atm. it's supposed to be a little offensive!

[lone crown]

Hollow Knight is literally built off other ideas, nothing about it is completely unique other than Ari’s signature artstyle and the OST

[fiery burrow]

HK fans have never played other games

[gray parcel]

EVERY GAME IS A PONG CLONE

[normal token]

The worst part of any cool game getting popular is it spawns people saying shit like that

[fiery burrow]

"Big head little body" Toad.

[knotty solar]

Isnt big head small body a super generic design as well

[primal horizon]

you are lowering the value of people's work. think about what they've done to come this far.
like unless they're literally tracing, they've definetly been doing this stuff for hours which is quite a tiring process

[fiery burrow]

Yes

[glossy berry]

everybody knows that minecraft invented the sandbox genre and no other game has ever used stylised cube-based design before it

[fiery burrow]

HK is cookie cutter stuff its just a good game

[primal horizon]

and in a full time-frame, a couple of YEARS

[stable estuary]

Ari’s style basically. Anytime I see something like Bō I just wanna laugh.

[glossy berry]

i think that just makes you a dick who doesnt respect other peoples art lmao

[lone crown]

[stoic sigil]

See this is why I bully new knights

They come in talking like this

[nimble raptor]

https://tenor.com/view/howtobasic-how-to-basic-curry-fighting-weird-gif-12939594756423550269

[glossy berry]

theres a reason fireb0rns "hollow knight clone" videos and the like are so widely shat on its just embarrassing

[trim estuary]

i'm looking at bo rn this doesnt really look like hollow knight

[primal horizon]

what

[lone crown]

Hollow knight itself looked shit in the very early trailers

[cunning geode]

the knight was hungry

[stoic sigil]

All Metroidvanias are Hollow Knight

[fiery burrow]

But big head tiny body!!!

[glossy berry]

the first one was so ass yeah it looked awful
