"to live an age, yet remember so little ... perhaps i should be thankful?" "all tragedy erased, i see only wonders..." *blue lake is filled with the tears of players*
@@woodenstool6422 in the game files it lists the nail left behind as "quirrel_death_nail" so its safe to assume he died and considering the nail is right on the edge of the lake i think he threw himself in and drowned
Can't be. This line from the White Lady implies that he is, in fact, devoid of emotions: "I implore you, usurp the Vessel. Its supposed strength was ill-judged. It was tarnished by an idea instilled. But you. You are free of such blemishes. You could contain that thing inside."
@@SeamusTheHunter Once you get the Void Heart, White Lady would no longer perceive you as void and doubting your hollowness "That pulsing emptiness... Truly, it has been transformed by the revelations it found." "Does it... feel anything? Triumph? Or hate? If it does, I cannot sense it. The fate of our Kingdom, our Hallownest... that future belongs to you now."
@@SeamusTheHunter thing is, they thought the HK was fully void too. They can be wrong a second time, since what was really missing was the Voidheart. There, the Knight’s Will, which exists by definition in contrast of being fully hollow, allows it to command the Void. It would always be impossible to create a fully pure vessel, as the very idea of containing the Radiance or saving Hallownest is an idea instilled.
SAMMMME I actually tried to on my first play through 😔 It wouldn’t be that hard to add in either, blue lake is literally right next to resting grounds so why not?
I think he suicided He completed his life goal, and took his last breath in the cold blue Quaral wouldn’t have gone anywhere without his nail Hallownest is too dangerous
Entering the city of tears with 1 mask of health and seeing quirrel there on a bench with an empty space me was when I realised that hollow knight was the best game I had ever played. I remember just sitting there, as the city of tears theme slowly faded in. Hollow knight is amazing.
The vibe was absolutely beautiful, I sat there with quirrel for 10 minutes i think, and i couldn't help but tear up slightly, i didn't fully cry but i still did shed a tear, this game did not need to go so hard on literally everything but it still did
I'm thinking of redoing this video, just so I can perfect some small nit picks and get that hard to achieve deepnest encounter. I'll definitely include that in the video if I ever do go through with this!
I love this dude. He was the closest thing to a friend to little Ghost imo. ^^ He'll always be apart of my most favorite characters in Hollow Knight for sure!
Aw he has probably the strongest and most contrasting character development. (Spoilers ahead) whereas Tiso straight-up just dies, the player can see changes in Quirrel's tone in dialogue before he disappears, much like Cloth and how she changed from a scared bug to facing the Mantis Traitor I really hope he isn't actually dead and maybe makes an appearance in Silk Song to meet Hornet :))
@@TheMetallicaMonster yeah, he's an aged traveller so maybe we'll see him in Silk Song? We'll see a different, maybe less experienced side of him, perhaps. I don't think anything's stopping them so it's up to the devs now
Man, Quirrel's such a lovely character. Team Cherry did such a good job with his encounters, making him appear in these really quiet, contemplative spots that make you associate him with peace, getting to take a moment with a friend. I really enjoy the general candace of most Hollow Knight characters anyway (it feels very Lord of the Rings, well spoken, but poetic and soft), but they especially knocked it out the park with him, you can just feel the love for the world around him in his dialogue, there's a gentle pleasantness to it that makes him such a delight to come across. I know after a certain lore video, people like to believe the worst for him, but he's a character that feels very hopeful and kind, and I think it's very important that we don't actually see what happens to him. Like that was an intentional choice on Team Cherry's part. And with that in mind, I like to think leaving his nail at Blue Lake was more of a 'burying his past self' as he went on to discover new things, away from Hallownest. I think he deserves to have a nice wander to somewhere new and interesting. New place, new nail, new Quirrel yknow?
I totally agree with you, although for a vessel to be pure and contain the infection, it must lack emotion…things like this, like attacking the pale kings body and giving delicate flowers to people it likes indicate that the knight isn’t pure, therefore incapable of holding off the radiance.
@@boazba6667 yeah so eventually the radiance might escape aswell if you get the first 2 endings but if you just kill the radiance no one will ever have to deal with a radiance
@@justaguywhoisakillerforfun605Being pure isn't the same as being void. What the Pale King defined as "pure" is the three qualities he quotes in the Birthplace sequence: no mind to think, no will to break, no voice to cry suffering (notably not excluding the suffering itself, just the burdening of the Pale King with knowledge of it). The "no will" bit is directly contradicted by the Void Heart charm description(!), which "unites the void under *the bearer's will."* At the bare minimum, then, our knight cannot both have the Void Heart _and_ be a "pure" vessel. As a side note, since our knight was _discarded_ along with the countless other hundreds of vessels in the Abyss (as confirmed by the Birthplace cutscene just before acquiring Void Heart), it's largely implied that we are definitively _not_ pure/hollow. And certain gameplay actions (Delicate Flower side-sidequests, sitting with Quirrel at the Blue Lake, arguably saving grubs, etc.) are undeniable examples of, at bare minimum, will. Generally, what I assume a "pure" vessel is meant to be is entirely immune to the influence of the Radiance, of which Her Infection targets a being's will and mind. I don't really believe _any_ vessel was _ever_ truly "pure," but that's largely headcanon and speculation. The Void Heart's implications on Radiance-sealing as opposed to Radiance-slaying are arguable. I think both the Hollow Knight and Sealed Siblings endings are kicking the can down the road at best, just like the Pure Vessel did when it gaslit itself into acting hollow in the first place.
@@overthinkit_ well, my definition of pure in that game, is actually beating the Radiance, I think, and suspect that we are talking about two different types of Will, voidheart charm doesn't count as a Purpose Will because, Knight can unifiy the void at 'will' means that he can simply do that in his own accord by sheer existance, he doesn't need to prove himself or have dreams, aspirations and such to do that Also, him defeating the Radiance is like, the main purpose of his 'DNA', meaning he doesn't have any will to do so, just does it, other benevolent actions he does, lime sitting with Quirrel at the lake, maybe are done in retrospect of their implanted mindset to serve Pale King said to HK that he NEEDED to defeat the Radiance, giving him purpose and a goal, so he trained and such Things that aren't costly or give Knight an order to do may not interfere with his DNA of beating the radiance, thus justifying his acts, we don't know tho, becuz it not CANNON that he did all what the player could have done before killing the Radiance Sorry if I made some mistakes, it's ealry and I'm sleepy, thanks for clarifying your points, but I still think that OUR Knight should've been the HK, given that we arrived shortly after HK, guven some more seconds, we'd both be up there, Imagine some other universe where there is the Hollow Knights/Brothers
by the way, if you leave the dreamer dimension in the middle of killing the dreamer and then talk to quirrel again, quirrel has extra dialogue. i just played through that part for the first time, and when i went back, quirrel was "why are you hesitating, mercy is cool and all, but both of you know what needs to be done" or something
I’m super late to seeing this, but thanks for letting me know! I have plans to remake this video some time in the future, so stuff like this is super helpful
At first I thought he’d be another boss since this game is full of them, but he turned out to be one of the only friends you’d had in the whole game. F in the chat for Quirrel
The fact that Team Cherry gave you the option to just sit next to Quirrel at your last encounter is truly amazing!!! I believe the only other place where you can just sit down and chill is with Marissa the Songstress. All other "Sit" locations are just for the save and reset.
in the pale kings throne, it says "sit" instead of "rest" as well. but you can also change your charms there, so ig it also counts as a bench. its also the only bench that the knight wont sleep when sitting on it
I think that that that Last ecounter with Quirrel (the one were you sit with him at the blue lake) makes us think of how precious is every moment we pass with our dear. Because every moment can be the last one...
Best bug Quirrel :´( I like Quirrel and Cloth the most My headcanon: he's actually just gone for a quick swim in Blue Lake The Knight in game never waits long enough for him to come out again, but rest assured, in the world of Hallownest, sweet boomer buggy will soon climb up the bank and wring out his headscarf with a little laugh and a greeting: "Why are you crying, dear friend? My nail? Well, it's not very practical to bring a weapon along while swimming, is it?"
Fun but also sad fact!! if you listen to quirrels voice clip at blue lake, and compare it to the rest of his voice clips, he sounds older. and that’s basically a reference to the line once you kill monomon, where he says: “I’m starting to feel my age”
I was so confused and turned around in City of Tears (like half an hour, don’t ask-) and it made me get attached to Quirrel cuz he was my bench buddy ;v; Now City of Tears is my favorite place. The name is fitting, isn’t it?
One really heartbreaking detail after the uumuu fight is that his voice has changed. Before he was happy and polite, but now he sounds exhausted and withered. It's almost like fulfilling his purpose was the only thing that kept him going, sounds like something Ghost can relate to doesn't it? As sad as it is, my head cannon is that at the lake he just stepped in and let himself sink, he'd witnessed the beginning and end of a kingdom, he helped us in our war against a God, he felt like there just wasn't anything left for him, since everyone he ever knew is dead
Curiously, he says in tear city that he wants to know where the rain comes from. And because of the map layout, the blue lake is where it comes from. And there is the last point where you find it
I only encountered quirrel in the big jellyfish boss fight, and I found the lake where he dies before I found him anywhere else. So I was like “Ok coolio” when he died
Thank you so much for making this. Quirrel is one of my most favorite characters in Hollow Knight. I just had the final encounter with him at Blue Lake. I missed the Deepnest one and maybe the Crystal Peak one, along with the dialogue before Monomon, since it’s my first time playing. However, I sat through this entire video after the encounter Blue Lake. I miss Quirrel. ;o;
my boi quirrel. the one true friend to ghost throughout their journey. he is forever in our memory. thank you, team cherry. thank you for giving me this game. thank you for giving us memorable characters. thank you.
I made the biggest mistake in my life, I went to blue lake and found him sitting there, I talked to him then sat next to him. I toke a screenshot but I had the defenders crest and the fly charm thing in so it looked bad. I went to the bench to remove them so I can have a mode peaceful SS, when I came back I saw his sword… and now I’m devistated… I even missed some of the encounters cuz I probably found it too early
I love how Quirrel has dream nail dialogue, even when you’re not expected to have it early on in the game. It really shows how much attention to detail went into the making of this game. I have nothing but respect for Team Cherry and I don’t care what others say. I’m still hyped for Silksong.
And to think, the Knight is truly hollow. We the Player may feel emotions about the characters we come across and bow our head to portray our gratitude or sorrow, but the Knight feels nothing. . .
_"To live an age, yet remember so little... Perhaps I should be thankful?"_ That line always hit home. Quirrel has lived more than almost anyone in Hallownest and outside Hallownest, and despite losing his memories, he has seen some messed up stuff. So, when he actually looks back at his life, instead of feeling sorry for not remembering anything, he is grateful, because thanks to this he was spared further suffering.
Quirrel ...!!!! '>.< Rest in peace - my friend! -_- His last scene is so sad - but at the same time one of the most epic moments in den whole game! ^^ Thanks for sharing this video! You definitly deserve more subs - I'll leave you #237! Have a nice weekend, take care & stay safe & healthy!!
My Canon is that after the game (THK ending) The Knight is locked up in the black egg eith hornet and thk building a dome around it to make it extra secure they go to the city of tears rip out the hollow knight statue and build a statue of the knight hornet and THK then go to the Abyss helping every vessel by making then new cloaks taping their shells back together etc. Then help them up to hollownest whether thats making the platforming easier or just building a staircase Quirrel is alive and doing quite well he was just getting back a family relic that he dropped in the lake and is now a teacher in dirtmouth to teach some of the vessel and any other child how to speak write etc THK learns how to think speak and gets a robotic arm or smthn idk and becomes the new king of hollownest while Hornet sets off to go to Pharloom I can't rlly think of anything else
Didnt pay attention to lore that much especially if it is read and didnt know that he died so F. He was pretty noticable along with cloth and obviusly hornet in my gameplay though they were great to meet
What happened to him? Edit:yeah..i know that he died nowdays,i just forgot about this comment and don't remember geting notified from many responses on it. What i think that happened was that the dreamer mask made him somehow immune to dying of age or something like that,and when he handed it over to the dreamer he started to get old really fast,and then,went to the lake and turned into dust after sometime.
@@MK_Dany But where did his body go tho? I mean I agree with that hes probably dead now but I've no idea how it happened, because if he'd drown himself then there should have been a body floating in the water (like the nailsmith in the junk pit if you choose to kill him) Did he tie himself to a rock to make himself sink? Or did he just leave his weapon there, walked out, and let the next creature he encountered kill him without fighting it? What he do...
@@HannaOsk96 Unfortunately, is a 100% confirmed death. In the game files, the image referred to his nail near the lake is named "quirrel_death_nail", so...
The saddest thing is that the game implies that quirrel died, seeing as he talked about his age and the importance of having a weapon, I make sure to visit that nail occasionally to mourn
If Silksong is indeed a prequel, we need to meet Quirrel, I mean, he and Hornet have already met in the comic, I think a Boss fight with him would be cool. Then at the end of the fight, Hornet hits the mask like in the comic
When i saw him at the lake i didn't know that was the last time i was seeing him 😔 I thought to myself "gee i wonder where else this guy will appear" oh what a naive person i was😢
I missed some of these encounters, as a result he didn't leave that much of an impression in my first run, not until the boss fight in the Teacher's Archives, I even mistook him for Tiso lmao. But the lake scene has something really deep with it, though I moved on so fast that I didn't even know I can sit down with him ToT

The Knight in game never waits long enough for him to come out again, but rest assured, in the world of Hallownest, sweet boomer buggy will soon climb up the bank and wring out his headscarf with a little laugh and a greeting: "Why are you crying, dear friend? My nail? Well, it's not very practical to bring a weapon along while swimming, is it?"
Fun but also sad fact!! if you listen to quirrels voice clip at blue lake, and compare it to the rest of his voice clips, he sounds older. and that’s basically a reference to the line once you kill monomon, where he says:
“I’m starting to feel my age”
I’ve been looking for a Quirrel compilation with the dream nail dialogue. Thank you!
Im a huge simp for Quirrel lmao-
Arent we all?
I was so confused and turned around in City of Tears (like half an hour, don’t ask-) and it made me get attached to Quirrel cuz he was my bench buddy ;v;
Now City of Tears is my favorite place. The name is fitting, isn’t it?
0:50 I love how cheerful he sounds
One really heartbreaking detail after the uumuu fight is that his voice has changed. Before he was happy and polite, but now he sounds exhausted and withered. It's almost like fulfilling his purpose was the only thing that kept him going, sounds like something Ghost can relate to doesn't it?
As sad as it is, my head cannon is that at the lake he just stepped in and let himself sink, he'd witnessed the beginning and end of a kingdom, he helped us in our war against a God, he felt like there just wasn't anything left for him, since everyone he ever knew is dead
Its curious how, in the black egg temple, they put Quirrel's mask near to Monomon's mask, just to catch your attention
4:42 why do I hear him saying "nya"
lmao
He went on to other lands, perhaps. Being endowed knowledge by Monomon, maybe he can retain his mind even as he leaves the Kingdom
Isn't it widely believed he commits suicide?
@@hastur-thekinginyellow8115 Let me have my hope
@@KuraSourTakanHour the files say quirrel death nail. im sorry my guy..
The only reason I’m watching this is because I fought UumuU early so I didn’t see Quirrel in some locations :c
R.I.P Quirrel
sometimes i come back and watch this video just to feel something
"The dead should not be burdened by such things"
//sob
Doesnt help my feels that little Ghost seems to slightly bow down to the nail the longer it was stared upon :(
No that's him/her using the control stick to look down in a bow as a mark of respect. I always do it with the nailmasters too
Curiously, he says in tear city that he wants to know where the rain comes from. And because of the map layout, the blue lake is where it comes from. And there is the last point where you find it
You have no idea how happy I was seeing quirrel during the uumuu fight
someone make a video with the " here comes the boy " audio and just show a bunch of quirrel screenshots in his honor
I only encountered quirrel in the big jellyfish boss fight, and I found the lake where he dies before I found him anywhere else. So I was like
“Ok coolio” when he died
THAT A SIN AN ABSOLUTE SIN
YOU DARE ACT LIKE NOTHING?!GUILTY GUILTY!!!
(Sorry for being rude)
Restart the game and repent
I'm confused. How did you avoid all the encounters?
Quote Of The Year:''Seruna Saroke''
The reason the city of tears is always raining is because it’s not the lake
it’s the tears of anyone who played hollow knight
Thank you so much for making this. Quirrel is one of my most favorite characters in Hollow Knight. I just had the final encounter with him at Blue Lake. I missed the Deepnest one and maybe the Crystal Peak one, along with the dialogue before Monomon, since it’s my first time playing. However, I sat through this entire video after the encounter Blue Lake. I miss Quirrel. ;o;
*encounter at Blue Lake.
*Blue Lake encounter
@@markelley9710 encounter at the Blue Lake
this game does not spare you of your emotions. leaving Quirrell is about the saddest thing in this game.
my boi quirrel. the one true friend to ghost throughout their journey. he is forever in our memory.
thank you, team cherry.
thank you for giving me this game.
thank you for giving us memorable characters.
thank you.
Hopefully he shows up in Silksong... I still miss him
if not maybe some memory of him will be in silksong
8:25 Oh Quirrel , just wait till they turn into the Shade Lord
I havent even gone to the blue lake after teacher and now I see this I dont really want to go there and see him for the last time
I made the biggest mistake in my life, I went to blue lake and found him sitting there, I talked to him then sat next to him. I toke a screenshot but I had the defenders crest and the fly charm thing in so it looked bad. I went to the bench to remove them so I can have a mode peaceful SS, when I came back I saw his sword… and now I’m devistated… I even missed some of the encounters cuz I probably found it too early
I love how Quirrel has dream nail dialogue, even when you’re not expected to have it early on in the game. It really shows how much attention to detail went into the making of this game. I have nothing but respect for Team Cherry and I don’t care what others say. I’m still hyped for Silksong.
And to think, the Knight is truly hollow.
We the Player may feel emotions about the characters we come across and bow our head to portray our gratitude or sorrow, but the Knight feels nothing. . .
True
who else came back just to see quirrel one last time
After silksong the 3rd game should be about quirrel
Quirrel is transforming into the most powerful creature ever more powerful than the radiance:
Squirrel
One of the only characters I care about
Kekkum! Nekiiro, nekiiro!
I can't stop myself from crying. Seriously. I really liked him. Now he's gone...i feel so empty right now.....But,he'll stay in my heart forever.
_"To live an age, yet remember so little... Perhaps I should be thankful?"_
That line always hit home.
Quirrel has lived more than almost anyone in Hallownest and outside Hallownest, and despite losing his memories, he has seen some messed up stuff.
So, when he actually looks back at his life, instead of feeling sorry for not remembering anything, he is grateful, because thanks to this he was spared further suffering.
Light for monomon
Woah duck head I didn’t expect you to know what hollow knight is
@@geezsneeze9694 it's not the real one
Quirrel ...!!!! '>.<
Rest in peace - my friend! -_-
His last scene is so sad - but at the
same time one of the most epic moments
in den whole game! ^^
Thanks for sharing this video!
You definitly deserve more subs - I'll leave you #237!
Have a nice weekend, take care & stay safe & healthy!!
My Canon is that after the game (THK ending) The Knight is locked up in the black egg eith hornet and thk building a dome around it to make it extra secure they go to the city of tears rip out the hollow knight statue and build a statue of the knight hornet and THK then go to the Abyss helping every vessel by making then new cloaks taping their shells back together etc. Then help them up to hollownest whether thats making the platforming easier or just building a staircase Quirrel is alive and doing quite well he was just getting back a family relic that he dropped in the lake and is now a teacher in dirtmouth to teach some of the vessel and any other child how to speak write etc THK learns how to think speak and gets a robotic arm or smthn idk and becomes the new king of hollownest while Hornet sets off to go to Pharloom
I can't rlly think of anything else
Dammit I missed so many. Could have spent so much more time with Quirrel before I erased Monomon from existence
Quirrel
He was my boi I barely got to do half the things he would have done but
It was a fun time none the less
RIP sweet king
I’ve never seen the mantis village interaction I always go to deep nest right after mantis lords
7:19 WTF GHOST AND QUIRREL
You have a dirty mind sir
Two bros chilling in a hot tub
@@clararegina3902 5 FEET APART CAUSE THERE NOT GAY!😂
I ship it
@@CrimCrimLol i'm not alone :')
I cried at the 2nd blue encounter
Didnt pay attention to lore that much especially if it is read and didnt know that he died so F. He was pretty noticable along with cloth and obviusly hornet in my gameplay though they were great to meet
Without the horns the little knight could look like a legoman.
What heathens disliked the Quirrel video?!
In a place where every moving thing wanted to kill us, he was the only friend we had.
So happy that on my first playthrough, I found all of these but the Deepnest one.
Who needs therapy when you have this?
Quirrel is my favorite npc besides cloth
See, this is why I just never talk to him at blue lake so he never has to die!
The last part where you sit right next to Quirrel
It's my background image in Xbox one, best character from the whole game
What happened to him?
Edit:yeah..i know that he died nowdays,i just forgot about this comment and don't remember geting notified from many responses on it.
What i think that happened was that the dreamer mask made him somehow immune to dying of age or something like that,and when he handed it over to the dreamer he started to get old really fast,and then,went to the lake and turned into dust after sometime.
He died by suicide in the blue lake
Either drowned himself or left Hollownest.
@@littlemissprettybird if he left hollownest then he would have taken his sword with him probably
@@MK_Dany But where did his body go tho? I mean I agree with that hes probably dead now but I've no idea how it happened, because if he'd drown himself then there should have been a body floating in the water (like the nailsmith in the junk pit if you choose to kill him)
Did he tie himself to a rock to make himself sink? Or did he just leave his weapon there, walked out, and let the next creature he encountered kill him without fighting it? What he do...
@@HannaOsk96 Unfortunately, is a 100% confirmed death. In the game files, the image referred to his nail near the lake is named "quirrel_death_nail", so...
I want to hug quirrel so hard and tell him how much he means to me but I can’t and that makes me sad
Hollow Knight feels infinitely lonelier without him :(
We want hornet not to be an orphan and for quirrel to stay alive (stay with us the benches though)
damn, i missed alot of encounters of quirrel, i didnt know where to go
after knowing quirrel's fate. I'm never dreamnailing the dreamers xD
On the last encounter he sounds so sad
Thank you for doing this :)
HE WANTED TO SEE THE SOURCE OF THE WATER AND THE BLUE LAKE IS ABOVE THE CITY OF TEARS
16:27 where did he go?
To Heaven my friend... To Heaven
Is he dead?
@@rudolfsteihelm3128 Yes
@@rudolfsteihelm3128 no one knows. Probably yes, though.
Unless you never talk to him in the blue lake.
The saddest thing is that the game implies that quirrel died, seeing as he talked about his age and the importance of having a weapon, I make sure to visit that nail occasionally to mourn
Quirrel my beloved
I think my top 3 favorite characters are
1.) Quirrel
2.)Myla
3.)Nail master
If Silksong is indeed a prequel, we need to meet Quirrel, I mean, he and Hornet have already met in the comic, I think a Boss fight with him would be cool.
Then at the end of the fight, Hornet hits the mask like in the comic
I didnt knew that you could sit with Quirrel, so was just stand on his side
there is an image in the game files called Quirrel Death Nail
When i saw him at the lake i didn't know that was the last time i was seeing him 😔
I thought to myself "gee i wonder where else this guy will appear" oh what a naive person i was😢
I missed some of these encounters, as a result he didn't leave that much of an impression in my first run, not until the boss fight in the Teacher's Archives, I even mistook him for Tiso lmao. But the lake scene has something really deep with it, though I moved on so fast that I didn't even know I can sit down with him ToT
"KASSAW!"
-quirrel
Quirrel is best boy
Ah, and to wish you’d see Tiso as many times as i…
