I was thinking something more like, "you have to beat the ultimate hunter to become the ultimate hunter" was what they were going for rather than betrayal.
If you dream nail the hunter, he will say that the player is stronger than him, and thinks that the little knight will hunt him next. And he hopes he does
When I first encountered the hunter, I decided to leave him be because I thought I wouldn’t be ready for the boss fight bc I was still learning, and forgot about him until I was well over halfway through the game. Then, when I remembered him, and decided to go to him, I felt embarrassed to discover that there was no boss fight
I think this is one of the few instances where a force of light is the bad guy and the force of darkness is the good guy. I like it. It's a change in dynamic.
I mean void isn't specifically good it just opposes light which is what it did and void is very hostile from few examples we see(the shade,the siblings,the void tendrils)
47:06 Hornet: "Get guud!!!" Me: "Did she just yelled that i should get good!? How dare she!" Also me: **has 218 deaths in hollow knight because i suck at the game**
Way back on march 9th of 2017 I first played this game. I wanted to come back and thank you for making these videos, I would have never found this game if it weren't for you.
Kind of like this game's clever switcheroo. A complete reversal of what we generally see in these types of stories; where the Light actually represents evil and an utter lack of free will and thought while the Darkness is comparatively good by comparison representing freedom and individuality. What A Twist! ^^
To those wondering about the ending: The Radiance is the original God and creator of bugkind, though at the price of keeping everyone locked in a hive mind and primitive. The King sealed it away and gave everyone free will and the ability to evolve. The Radiance didn't take kindly to that, and created the Plague (that orange crap on everyone). In return, the King created the Hollow Knights from the Void to act as living containment units for the Plague; in the normal ending, you fulfill that roll when you defeat the old Hollow Knight. In the true ending, you confront The Radiance itself; those black ghosts are the previous Hollow Knights, and at the end, you sacrifice your individuality and become part of the Void to kill The Radiance for good, thus ending the plague.
The Radiance isn't a God but a Higher Being which "created" Seer and her kind (not all bugs). Corruption came from Great Wyrm which essence reincarnated as Pale King who sealed The Old Light in Black Egg since "No blazing kin. Only one light shall shine against the darkness." Next time use official information and not self-content.
The CliffsNotes version of the story is that, in the ancient underground kingdom of Hallownest, where thieves and adventurers brave the ruins for treasures and secrets, a strange energy (The Plague) has been wreaking havoc, driving residents mad and/or robbing them of their memories, and turning the ruins of Hallownest into a death zone. You, the Hollow Knight, having no clue about yourself or what is going on, explore Hallownest, learning of its history and inhabitants in bits and pieces, Dark Souls style. Gradually, through interactions with the villagers, old guard of the decaying kingdom, and other individuals, you learn of your nature as a being created from the Void, of your role in acting as a receptacle for The Plague, and of the kingdom's collapse and descent into madness and ruin via the execution of this plan, ultimately leading to several endings, such as the one here. For better explanations than I myself can provide, here's the wiki: hollowknight.wikia.com/wiki/Hollow_Knight_Wiki
Basically we are created by the Void to sacrifice ourselfs like the "Hollow Knight" did long time ago to seal the Wyrm. The Radiance and Wyrm possibly aren't the same thing as Radiance is the god and Wyrm is powerful as a god. It seems like Wyrm's plague and Radiance are working together on getting out of the seal. Oh and Wyrm is dead it's his corpse that started the infection. The king not only sealed Radiance but Wyrm aswell.

@@BiblioBaker They said they'd only release it when the quality matches or exceeds the quality of _Hollow Knight_ Also, didn't they take money through kickstarter/other for it? they legally have to release the game.
RiderGuy364 Hes still sane yet more hostile because of the plague, this game is really dark and theres a reason you kill without remorse, your a vacuum of the plague, your a black hole and your job is to contain and collect the plague, in the end you become the hollow knight and become sentient and have a conscience or kill the plague itself by ending the god who made it, a god who hates freedom and has less of a sense for people then the void does, because all the hollow knights are a part of void
You don't kill the Dung Defender, you can go back later and talk to him. He talks about how he thought you were plagued at first, but now he realizes you two don't have to fight.
Always makes me interested seeing the various orders people took on the bosses. I distinctly remember getting stuck on Mantis Lords right off of Hornet and refusing to move on until I did them even though the game encourages you to visit the City Of Tears to upgrade your nail before you challenge them. Also interesting to see Elder Hu being the first Dream Warrior boss in this video instead of Xero like usual.
Well you certainly fought these guys in an interesting order. The mantis lords were the fourth boss I faced and I didn’t even know about the dream bosses until after I’d beaten watcher knight.
it could also be heard as "c'thun" and a ton of other things I imagined stuff like "en garde" or "I got it" during the other parts, like the whip attack.
You were the littlest, born of the void, your brothers and sisters died for one cause, and for what? many people died and you kill a damned god, the question wasnt that of your destination or motive, it was the morality that what your doing, the people you kill are no more but cursed, plagued. Hollow knights born from nothing, ending a god who revels in its own power calling freedom a curse. this game is amazing, fully hand drawn and wonderfully written music, it also has a deep story strange and mistifying yet disturbingly sad, Your no more but a creature of the void, sent to kill a god who knows not of freedom, a king who broke free and set everyone free for the curse of madness and loss of sense, you end many lives great and small just to see the day that people may do as they please, but the people you saved, are they still alive? We see the case of madness from the miner who slowly grew mad, although sings a strange mad mining song herself.A god who gives a hivemind and creates a plague that lets loose a even more a crazy hivemind. In the end you sacrifice yourself to end a creature of greed and pride, with the help of the voids own children, or perhaps parts of the void itself.
The light, blindingly brilliant, full of promise, a promise of life fulfilled...No...Not life, simply survival, no life of it's own, longing for freedom. freedom comes at the hand of one almost as old at that sacred light, one who sees the endless suffering; and feels pity. The light...It beckons once more, but it blackens, jealousy...Betrayal. A promise broken, twisted, freedom taken once more. The freedom bringer, he sees it, his heart aches for them...Another. A counter for the brilliant light, a balance, the void, the dark. Given form by the will of the freedom bringer, they are not life...They are hollow, ghosts of the dark. Countless, cast aside, unworthy vessels to seal the light; but one...One has been chosen. The light is sealed, freedom restored. But the vessel is flawed, the light grows, it corrupts and tempts, the vessel withers, it's will fading, it's form twisted like one who trusted the broken promise. Hope is fading, the kingdom crumbles, slowly, slowly, all fall back to the temptation of the light. Nay, the dark has many among its number, those cast aside still roam, without emotion, without end; one rises from the abyss, a journey of final peace begun. It ventures forth, hiding inside an empty shell like it's kin, one of the dark. Many hearts does it find, many hearts does it touch, many hearts does it break...The seal. Memory long forgotten remembered, purpose found, a new goal...A new reason to exist. The flawed vessel is conquered, the shell broken, it's kin rejoice; the true enemy revealed. The battle begun, dark and light, the eternal struggle drawn to a close. Light is swallowed by the many of darkness, empty promise no more, freedom finally enjoyed by all...The one who quelled the light...The one who vanquished the Radiance...The shell is broken, the dark released; no more will they wander the land above. Their purpose fulfilled, those of the dark fade once more into that from which they were drawn, ever waiting to be called once more, for a true purpose.
I think what I like the most is how the Mantis Lords fight begins, like even the music doesn't start until they abruptly stand up to face their challenger.~ I like Hornet too, but the Mantis Lords fight just appeals to me, for some reason.
The ladies in this game that don't get killed respect you. I heard the Mantis Lords are female, so in addition to Hornet, the Mantis Lords are very much feminism done right: equal bosses, not too strong but not too weak, and when you beat them, they know that's because you won fair and square, so they offer respect. The Traitor Lord is their brother, and from what I heard, the Grey Mourner's lover was the Traitor Lord's daughter. Gotta love the complicated family tree these Mantis leaders have..
False knight feels insane the first time I came across him, but after having beaten failed champion, the approach to the first boss fight can only be described as calmly smacking
That scientist that loves handsome jack in Borderlands two, you can't even attack him, at the start of the boss fight he falls down a flight of stairs and cracks his neck.
@@npc2792 however The fucking abomination you fight before him is a total bullshit fight and you cannot convince me a monster with two tiny weak spots you can almost never hit throwing cargo containers at you and nearly oneshotting an overleveled salvador is fucking fair. He DESERVES to die from falling down the stairs after that.
Spooky Doot Have you not fought the Watcher Knights before? The only prerequisite you have to fight them is enough money to pay for the chemotherapy you’ll inevitably need after fighting such cancer
I saw a guide for the Hornet boss, and it told me that I shouldn’t pursue in the air, since she might hit everything in her range, but when I fought the boss after that, she started doing the same exact attack on the ground, as if it were normal.
this is *the* video that introduced me to hollow knight. I have now had the game for just about 1-2 years and I have almost beaten the pantheon of hallownest. Thank you. Thank you so much.
thomas the skank engine Well, actually... The Pale King made the Hollow Knights in The Void (Or so i understood), and the Pale King came from the corpse of a Wyrem. And In not too sure of what a Wyrem is in their world, but i would say its some kind of snake.
@@itsoracle Maybe the comment wasn't too literal After all the radiance slaves prefered to have mind otorged by the pale to king instead of being a hive mind So in that sense they betrayed the radiance to serve the pale king
I think one of my favorite parts is when you are about to defeat the collector and he starts choking and you just have to start tearing him apart with your nail ( I'd like to think this is the hollow knight taking out all their aggression for the crazy SH*t they had to do to rescue all the grubs.
Fun Fact: Defeating Zote in the Colleseum of Fools for the first time gives you an achievement, geo, charm notch and finally a good effort cuz you finally killed the heck out of your rival. Another Fun Fact: The Traitor Lord's Arena is not for the ones that are afraid in close spaces (that includes me)
oh poop you already mentioned Asura. Gosh I love that game, and hate it too for not being able to play the last level which is a japanese-exclusive DLC >:(

I almost leave the game for the extremely hard that boss was
i remember finding this randomly on youtuber and having no idea what hollow knight was. so glad i found this!!
You were the littlest, born of the void, your brothers and sisters died for one cause, and for what? many people died and you kill a damned god, the question wasnt that of your destination or motive, it was the morality that what your doing, the people you kill are no more but cursed, plagued. Hollow knights born from nothing, ending a god who revels in its own power calling freedom a curse.
this game is amazing, fully hand drawn and wonderfully written music, it also has a deep story strange and mistifying yet disturbingly sad, Your no more but a creature of the void, sent to kill a god who knows not of freedom, a king who broke free and set everyone free for the curse of madness and loss of sense, you end many lives great and small just to see the day that people may do as they please, but the people you saved, are they still alive? We see the case of madness from the miner who slowly grew mad, although sings a strange mad mining song herself.A god who gives a hivemind and creates a plague that lets loose a even more a crazy hivemind. In the end you sacrifice yourself to end a creature of greed and pride, with the help of the voids own children, or perhaps parts of the void itself.
The light, blindingly brilliant, full of promise, a promise of life fulfilled...No...Not life, simply survival, no life of it's own, longing for freedom. freedom comes at the hand of one almost as old at that sacred light, one who sees the endless suffering; and feels pity. The light...It beckons once more, but it blackens, jealousy...Betrayal. A promise broken, twisted, freedom taken once more. The freedom bringer, he sees it, his heart aches for them...Another. A counter for the brilliant light, a balance, the void, the dark. Given form by the will of the freedom bringer, they are not life...They are hollow, ghosts of the dark. Countless, cast aside, unworthy vessels to seal the light; but one...One has been chosen. The light is sealed, freedom restored. But the vessel is flawed, the light grows, it corrupts and tempts, the vessel withers, it's will fading, it's form twisted like one who trusted the broken promise. Hope is fading, the kingdom crumbles, slowly, slowly, all fall back to the temptation of the light. Nay, the dark has many among its number, those cast aside still roam, without emotion, without end; one rises from the abyss, a journey of final peace begun. It ventures forth, hiding inside an empty shell like it's kin, one of the dark. Many hearts does it find, many hearts does it touch, many hearts does it break...The seal. Memory long forgotten remembered, purpose found, a new goal...A new reason to exist. The flawed vessel is conquered, the shell broken, it's kin rejoice; the true enemy revealed. The battle begun, dark and light, the eternal struggle drawn to a close. Light is swallowed by the many of darkness, empty promise no more, freedom finally enjoyed by all...The one who quelled the light...The one who vanquished the Radiance...The shell is broken, the dark released; no more will they wander the land above. Their purpose fulfilled, those of the dark fade once more into that from which they were drawn, ever waiting to be called once more, for a true purpose.

Bugs aren't supposed to think. Radiance did nothing wron. Fuccck the Void and Empty Knight
@@Aku6Soku1Zan Wha? Radiance threw everyone into a hive mind.
wow this game does not force you to do ANYTHING. The Mantis Lords are like the 3rd boss i beat and ive only seen one hero dream
god No Eyes is actually kind of creepy and then gorb happens
I got the hibby gibbys while fighting no eyes, the atmosphere plus her effing singing is plain creepy
+Rildor Ascend with Gorb!
No Eyes is genuinely disturbing. Thankfully I fought her like, mid-afternoon. If I fought her at night, I’d probs have nightmares, not gonna lie.
I am Gorb
I defeated both no eyes (going to the bottom platform and waiting no eyes to come closer) and gorb (a easy boi) in the first try

Time stamping this because it’s my favorite boss

_When you get beaten by the Grim Reaper and he's about to absorb your soul but you ain't about to die_
Relatable lol
Person: what games are you good at
Gellot: yes
He took damage at A Hat in Time death wish mode
I think what I like the most is how the Mantis Lords fight begins, like even the music doesn't start until they abruptly stand up to face their challenger.~ I like Hornet too, but the Mantis Lords fight just appeals to me, for some reason.
Isnt it funny that the mantis lords and hornet have really similar moves
Like the charge stab thing
@@miguelmialichi6367 maybe they're related somehow?I mean,they have similar horns
We take your bow,Humble Warrior.
-Signed,Mantis Lords.
Its the most dignified fight in the game
The ladies in this game that don't get killed respect you. I heard the Mantis Lords are female, so in addition to Hornet, the Mantis Lords are very much feminism done right: equal bosses, not too strong but not too weak, and when you beat them, they know that's because you won fair and square, so they offer respect. The Traitor Lord is their brother, and from what I heard, the Grey Mourner's lover was the Traitor Lord's daughter. Gotta love the complicated family tree these Mantis leaders have..
False knight feels insane the first time I came across him, but after having beaten failed champion, the approach to the first boss fight can only be described as calmly smacking
Bro false knight is too easy for a starter boss
Buff hp?
I love the double misdirection they do with the hunter, even going so far as starting to play the battle theme :p.
7:05 my heart stopped
33:56 Best Arena Battle Of The Year
Uh uh huh huh huh oooooough
"What, am I gonna fight the sun?"
And with shit😂😂
yeah, I was sarcastically thinking to myself: "what now? am I gunna fight the sun?"
Famous last words
Gorb sounds so ridiculous when you double the video speed XD
bombermanx0 gamma thank you
33:35 This is the most embarrassing boss I've _ever_ seen. Not even kidding
Mysterio from Spiderman 2...
That scientist that loves handsome jack in Borderlands two, you can't even attack him, at the start of the boss fight he falls down a flight of stairs and cracks his neck.
Great GrandmaOva
I was going to mention electrocutioner from arkham origins, but that one is a much better choice.
Noy only that, but he's one of the most hateable characters.
@@npc2792 however
The fucking abomination you fight before him is a total bullshit fight and you cannot convince me a monster with two tiny weak spots you can almost never hit throwing cargo containers at you and nearly oneshotting an overleveled salvador is fucking fair.
He DESERVES to die from falling down the stairs after that.
I honestly like the voice bits for hornet and most of the bosses, makes them feel more real.
GET GUD-Hornet
@@pedrospizza5894, that's exactly what I thought she said too..
Wow that zote fight shocked me with the skill you pulled out in that battle!
truly astounding!
I feel so bad at dodging in Hollow Knight after seeing you easily defeat Hornet. (The first fight)
No, hornet is easy. Just dodge it once. but Hornet. And there are also Hornet.
she legitmatly insults u by saying got gud
19:57 this boss is all of my hate
Why?
Spooky Doot Have you not fought the Watcher Knights before? The only prerequisite you have to fight them is enough money to pay for the chemotherapy you’ll inevitably need after fighting such cancer
LegendRaptor080 there easy lmao
@@lepoisson-globe592 Grammar isn't, apparantly
Serpanto English isn’t my first language sorry
45:36 SIKE YOU THOUGHT
He's not getting beaten up by the knight bruh
I saw a guide for the Hornet boss, and it told me that I shouldn’t pursue in the air, since she might hit everything in her range, but when I fought the boss after that, she started doing the same exact attack on the ground, as if it were normal.
Me waking up the first month of owning hollow knight: I can’t wait to get up and play a challenging but fair game
Me waking up now at godmaster: 46:00
@47:09 hornet says "Git Gud"
Wow it actually sounds like it :O :D
No, it sounds like "get do"
@Kevin Garcia simply

and then fell down from the roof
i know that feels
Oscar of Astora from a person that plays a lot of dark souls, I can say that this is 100% accurate
xD
Three stages of a casual hollow knight player:
1) lemme try do this hitless
2) ok maybe i can do it
3) well, there goes my run
This is the exact video I watched before I started playing Hollow few months later, and I still did not regret it.
The Hunter was surprisingly easy.
Now, let's pit the little guy against a Bloodborne Hunter.
Obsidiron Pumicia that's just plain unfair
Filthy Weeb Unfair for who? You try hitting a moth with an axe.
Hollow, he is just so smol
Obsidiron Pumicia plus ludwid XD
Darryl Lott Eh, he'll just kinda flutter around the Moonlight Greatsword, not doing anything.
4:06 Must be a steven universe fan
I must thank this video for singlehandedly introducing me to this beautiful game all those years ago.
this is *the* video that introduced me to hollow knight. I have now had the game for just about 1-2 years and I have almost beaten the pantheon of hallownest. Thank you. Thank you so much.
7:05 Excuse me what
Was it the butthole?
whaaaa...?
Hacker
33:43 i thought that was a scary boss but this boss is...??? what can i say? he so cute
you don’t know how powerful zote actually is
@@BetterStevee zote 10 doing 8 hearts per hit
Когда смотришь такие видео, воодушевляешься на то, чтобы наконец зайти и пройти игру
a god killed by it's own creations. what a lovely game.
thomas the skank engine Well, actually...
The Pale King made the Hollow Knights in The Void (Or so i understood), and the Pale King came from the corpse of a Wyrem. And In not too sure of what a Wyrem is in their world, but i would say its some kind of snake.
is that not in the norm of "thomas the skank engine"?
yung syphilis pale king wasn’t killed by them and he isn’t a god either, what the fuck You talking about?
@@itsoracle Maybe the comment wasn't too literal
After all the radiance slaves prefered to have mind otorged by the pale to king instead of being a hive mind
So in that sense they betrayed the radiance to serve the pale king
I think one of my favorite parts is when you are about to defeat the collector and he starts choking and you just have to start tearing him apart with your nail ( I'd like to think this is the hollow knight taking out all their aggression for the crazy SH*t they had to do to rescue all the grubs.
That would be true, expect the knight has no personality
this game is just so freaking beautiful! love ur vids man kudos to ya
Fun Fact: Defeating Zote in the Colleseum of Fools for the first time gives you an achievement, geo, charm notch and finally a good effort cuz you finally killed the heck out of your rival.
Another Fun Fact: The Traitor Lord's Arena is not for the ones that are afraid in close spaces (that includes me)
The moment when you challenge a fucking god really made this game for me.
Bug Souls lmao
Pfft thats nothing. In god of war you basically fucking kill gods as a job. And in destiny you kill a god, gods son, father god, and few other gods.
In Asura's Wrath,You killed basically the one who created Life and the one who created you
God of War is a cute barbie game compared to Asura's Wrath. Seriously, give it a watch on youtube, it's just waaaaaaaay over the top :D
oh poop you already mentioned Asura. Gosh I love that game, and hate it too for not being able to play the last level which is a japanese-exclusive DLC >:(
Man, Zote must be the most powerful and difficult boss of them all.
Also, I don’t want to hurt Marmu, he is the most precious little bean.
I would call marmu a caterpie but ok
I hate marmu with a passion
@@edgybubblegum6404 WHAT THE FUCK DID YOU SAY ABOUT MY MARMU
Wtf zote does nothing

#1 most beautifully done and epic looking game I've seen in a long time. That music score was awesome as well 👍

i just love how on the guz mother bossfight you just casually pass it and then you punch it and then the fight starts. no dramatic opening, just, this
