Why does it exist and what significance to the civilisation before hallownest did it have
#What is the deal with the abyss shriek upgrade room?

The dreamnail dialogue makes me think that theyre some kinda petrified or dead bugs but idrk im just a guy

Fossilised bugs

it is why they are screaming
dusky steppe
We all agree ancient civilization is a thing so I believe that the statues are bugs of the ancient civilization who want to rise up and be a part of hollow nest once again because the dream nail text says “our voices…will cry out…again” the ancient civilization wants a comeback
buoyant mauve
Maybe
They are all dead tho
Maybe the crying out part was calling for help
Something bad happened and they all died off
cosmic mist
what ever the reason they are definitely the souls of some of the ancient civilisation people trying to cry out
buoyant mauve
Well they were definitely once alive due to the fact that they give dream nail dialogue
The only object that isn't alive is the egg which the knight hatched from
Oh and the crystal heart robot

And statues and stuff also, like Bretta's Zote thing.

The zote statue is simply built different

I thinks it’s zotes ego just demolishing common sense like the eternal ordeal
fickle rain
Eternal Ordeal happens even if Zote's dead, and... I think you can easily see why most people think it isn't canon.

Zote never dies

Zotes ego is too powerful to be stopped by death

So true

That doesn't give dialogue tho
fickle rain
I'd say a Dream Boss is more essence than a bit of dialogue.
It gives like 400 of that too.
buoyant mauve
True

The only object that isn't alive is the egg which the knight hatched from
The radiance statue as well
Though I think the radiance and moth tribe’s thoughts are the dream nail text
tame peak
Though I think the radiance and moth tribe’s thoughts are the dream nail text
Hmmm in that case maybe they're just sculptures that the ancient civilization made and a bit of their dreams are inside them

Good point
So the desires of the ancient civilization reflected onto whatever the fuck those statues are and the ancient civilization wants to come back
Wrong forum

On the subject of statues crystal golems?
What were the used for how did they work who made them how were they made

pretty sure there's a forum for that

When the player collects the abyss shreik upgrade void stuff floats out of the holes in the dead bugs implying that they could have been part void creatures

because it happens even if Zote's never fought, which isn't canon
dusky steppe
Also true
surreal bolt
This is definitely about the abyss sherik guys
dusky steppe
We were discussing dream nailing statues and if the abyss shriek guys were statues but then it got sidetracked
crystal owl
I don't think the abyss shriek things were ever alive
They were probably just part of a machine or contraption. They don't need to be alive to have dialogue.
buoyant mauve
I do think they were some type of petrified bug from the ancient civilisation
tame peak
because it happens even if Zote's never _fought_, which isn't canon

All of the bosses have a description like the alluring god of motherhood for flukemarm

The stone bug things in the background kinda look like soul vessels

They could be something like void vessels made by the ancient civilization for maybe storage for the room where they seem to give void shape

that room may have been the reverse, where they studied the forms the Void took
buoyant mauve
Void seems to work in a similar way to soul except you can't harvest it probably because the knight doesn't have a void vessel
The collector doesn't give soul when hit telling us that void can also be used to animate bodies, this is reinforced by the fact that the pale king creates those void based creatures in the white palace
fickle rain
Void is moreso animated itself, it can move on its own.
