The bug that broke the seal of binding appears to be a lumafly, the same kind that is found in all of hollownest’s lanterns. Possibly these could be more important/powerful than previously thought?
Lumaflys have a single bright point of light along with glowing wings in the general anatomy of a fly whereas the seal breaker glows brightly throughout with similar anatomy to a dragonfly
If you look at a lumafly, it appears to be a single point of light with wings. If you look at these flies, they have a fundamentally different structure. It is possible they could just be less glowy, but I think it's not likely.
I've encountered a random glitch where a life blood mask just appears under a regular mask and flashes in and out of reality. It can never be hit so I get fewer masks and it only shows when the mask it's underneath breaks.
The second hollow knight game is Silksong with Hornet being the playable character and Hornet has called the Knight as Little Ghost. And Lace has called Hornet as Little Spider. So- But that's just a theory, a HOLLOW theory-
I think its really neat that Deep Docks take elements from the cut Hollow Knight area, the Bone Forest. It was going to be instead of Ancient Basin, and be comprised of bone and lava. Cool to see them bringing back the concept.
This is going to be hard for me to admit but I have to face my demons eventually.
Before nine months ago, I am ashamed to say that I was once a "Hornet is Void" believer. I know, disgusting. It was a truly dark time for me. I can not even begin to express just how sorry I am for all the hollow brethren I have tainted with my ideology. Everyday I regret my actions as little ghosts of my past still continue to haunt me. On late September of last year, you brought me out of the dark and it changed my life forever. Thank you. Now with this new revelations, I can finally see how truly wrong I was. Forgive me Mossbag for I have sinned.
Lace is actually trying to save you from the final part of silksong, the Pantheon of Hallownest and Pharloom, which has every boss in Hollow Knight and Silksong consecutively and if you die you restart from the beginning
I have not done the path of pain, but there was a lot of swearing and screaming involved when climbing up to the throne room... Anyone who can do this without the wasp charm is OP... Or has no life, it can only be one of these two IMHO.
I just assumed that tidbit about bugs losing their memories and minds when they leave Hallownest was nothing but lies and propaganda by the King. After all, quite a few come to Hallownest to explore it's depths and quite a few leave during the game as well including the knight himself.
I know this is an older comment, but I think it's worth saying that, at the very least, the loss of memories after leaving Hallownest was absolutely not a lie or propaganda. We saw firsthand with Quirrel that a bug can indeed lose their memories when leaving Hallownest.
19:29 Why doesn’t Hornet leave a shade? Why doesn’t Hornet leak void like the Knight when at one health? Why would Herrah sacrifice herself for brood, if her child would be killed and hollowed out by void? Why does Hornet say “your birth” to the Knight when talking about the Abyss? Why not say “our birth”? What is the purpose of putting void in Hornet if she’s not meant to be a vessel for the Radiance? Why does Hornet say she lacks the crucial emptiness of the Knight when we know that “emptiness” is a phrase completely synonymous with the void? Why does Hornet have a gender? Why does Hornet say the bindings of the Black Egg would drain her if she’s a void being? “How can my feet smell if they don’t have a nose?” You can read this through the link in the description of the video, but I´m writing it here for the lazy ones.
I am only distantly interested in the lore, but still baffled that people would think hornet is void. The game is pretty ham-fisted in driving the point the siblings are not the same, and quite the opposite.
"My biggest problem with hollow knight is that it didn't have enough areas like the white palace" You might be the only one to have ever spoken those words.
Thats it. Downvote, unsub (even though Im not subbed in the first place right now) and a report to the RUclips headquarters. People are getting canceled today.
Honestly I agree with him. I felt Hollow Knight was too combat inclined sometimes. The white palace was the only place that challenged your platforming ability, and (as far as I know, I am like 85% done with the game) that place is done after you get the half of the Kingsoul. In contrast, not only you have a TON of bosses in the main game, now you have Godhome, where you can fight EVEN HARDER versions of them. And honestly, after spending nearly 2 to 3 hours trying to defeat Nightmare King Grimm yesterday and dying over and over again, that massive boss rush to get to Absolute Radiance (which it seems to be the hardest boss in the game as well) does NOT sound fun at all to me. Idk maybe it's just a case of having to Git Gud (TM) or something like that, I'm not the "hardcore" Hollow Knight fan that some people are.
judging by your comment you haven't seen it yet, but there is an optional super hidden zone inside the white palace, while it doesn't stop this statement from being true, it is another platforming area to see
@@thezeitos469 theres no other games that have immensly difficult platforming compared to path of pain also hornet should be more movement based so difficult platforming would make sense
The “invisible health” glitch that occurs when healing also exists in hollow knight, but the only ways to trigger it are with deep focus and Baldur shell, which nobody uses
My first thought was exactly this! Maybe an added comment for comedic effect that will everyone who _knows_ go: "Aha! I get that. We also mention it if they exist."
@m c If you don't want spoilers, maybe 1. Read the spoiler warning at the start 2. Don't come and watch the video in the first place Or 3. Learn that literally the first thing you do in the entire game does not count as a spoiler
@@monovailable442 ah, sorry. I just can't stand when people are actually like that. I can usually detect jokes better than that. In fact, I'm usually the one who says that!
I can't believe that people say Hornet is void. She literally says "Though our strength is born of similar source, that part of you, that crucial emptiness, I do not share". She had just mentioned that the knight is imbued with void after going into its birthplace, so that emptiness she talks about is void, which she explicitly says she does not share. The strength they share is their father.
Also, in the Dream No More Ending, you literally see all of the void siblings (The Knight included) passing on, since their task is finished. Hornet stays behind.
Pale King: "Void for you, void for you, void for you, void for y-" *notices* *it's* *Hornet* "No void for you. Yo mama wants you to have a soul or something like that."
Here is a conter argument and a counter to the counter. BuT ThE PuRe VeSsEl GiVeS SoUl. The hunters journal say that it's shell gives off a pale light, so that pale light is probably reminiscent soul.
Team Cherry before the Demo launch: "Please be careful not to say too much during the playthrough! There's this guy...." Mossbag: "So this is just a theory but...(╭ರ_⊙)" Team Cherry: *sweats profusely*
Things I hope to see: -Dreams and Void expended upon -The Hollow Knight as a NPC -Mentions about the fate of the White Lady and Unn -Bretta -At least 1 journal entry about wtf happened to the Knight after creating or summoning the Shade Lord
Why though? Why Bretta? If she is strong enough to survive in the wastelands then EVERYONE is able to. She pretty much commited suicide. (Also, dreams were a thing in Hallownest with moth tribe, Dreamers and Radiance. Pharloom doesn't have anything to do with dreams, plus Hornet doesn't have a dream nail) (Also, White Lady and Unn are unrelated to Hornet. Her parents are Pale King and Herrah)
@@neyte7313 I just want to see a continuation of her story Dreams are not tied to the Radiance, Hallownest or the Moth Tribe, the Radiance is a higher being that lives within the Dream, anyone can create their own Dream world if they want to, also the Grimm troupe is still around, which means Nightmare is still a thing Hornet has nothing to do with Unn and not much connection to the White Lady, but they are still extremely powerfull entities, without the Radiance who knows what they will do to Hallownest, that's why I wish we can get at least a mention to what is going on in Hallownest after the Radiance was killed
@@aaaa-kr1qb Actually he may not be dead. After becoming completely void he goes on to defeat Radiance completely in the True Ending. I believe he won't make an appearance in Silksong but I would love to hear him mentioned as I really grew attached to him and he deserves recognition for his legendary feat.
@@neyte7313 I doubt Bretta is dead. While we may know that Quirrel and The Knight are the only known characters to survive beyond the Howling Cliffs. I think for Bretta to make it to the Fungal Wastes where she is rescued I think she has some abilities in survival. She is probably a terrible fighter but maybe she can run really fast? Who knows?
I think the reason lace still gives off silk is because Hornet, like the weavers, knows the art of sort of ‘twisting’ soul she gathers form enemies into a silk. Lace probably isn’t haunted but gives off silk because that is hornet turning her soul into silk.
I think personally that she is physically connected to the needle and sucks life fluids like bug juice and blood off her enemies. This can be evidenced by her lack of a mouth and her lack of hunger. If she really had no mouth she would be hungry. And if she was hungry she would die all the time. Because we only see her die to enemies, this means that she is not hungry, which means she has a mouth. And since we don't see her taking in anything edible from other parts of her body, that obviously means she is taking it in from her only point of contact with edible things (her fellow bugs), which is her needle. We've established that her needle has a mouth and she sucks nutrients from other bugs it. We also know that spiders in real life produce silk out of organic components they find in their prey. Therefore, my theory is that Hornet uses her extra limb(like a proboscis) to eat her enemies alice, that the remains of the enemies pass through her stomach and are digested, and that she uses the nutrients from them to produce and spit out silk. This also explains her name, hornet, as she has a proboscis like a bumblebee, and hornets look alike to bumblebees in real life.
Hey could this be the reason ‘the beast’ wanted a child with the pale king? So that one day a demigod could free the weavers from whoever has imprisoned them?
I think the Weavers made a deal with Herrah, their dreamnail dialogue suggest they created the Weaversong charm to protect Hornet in exchange for something ...Herrah... ...Princess... ...For protection... ...For bargain made...
As far as Pharloom's Folly, they may be talking about Hornet herself, as her mother was Herrah the Beast. She's supposed to be pretty, frail and fine in appearance as the hunter describes her as nimble. She's a spider, hence the woven of faith and toil and has been one of the few fighting against the infection and trying to save Hallownest in the last game. She never really had a chance to interact with her mother or father and rarely let her emotions get in the way of serving the kingdom and the last part kind of implies the game. Hornet is a spider, or a beast as her mother was once named. She's about to go to town, and their folly was messing with her.
@@larshaukenfrers ye, I wrote this comment right after I heard him say greater emphasis on platforming, so I didn't hear that part yet when I wrote the comment
@@nachoqueso4679 I just wanted to point out the madness behind that thought. More areas like the White Palace and the new movement system in Silksong are gonna kill me.
I think Hornet is void in the same way the hollow king is void. The hollow knight and the other pure void beings are special cases that has their void be more physical instead of evaporated as they are physically made of it.
Remember when Hornet's egg was thrown into the abyss and infused with void so that she would be born a void entity?... Wait, that never happened. She was given to bees and infused with honey... She's a honey entity. Buzz buzz.
If it leaks soul like a non void being, it doesn't leave a shade like a non void being, and it feels, thinks, and speaks like a non void being, it probably is a non void being.
I got to know you because someone mention you in a coment on this demo, saying you would make a longass analysis on a 10 minute gameplay. I was not dissapointed.
@@thrace_bot1012 uhhhhhhh no spiders 10000% produce silk, while its not the type we use for beding it's still silk none the less sooooooo also why is web in quotation marks this whole comment is a mess
spiders have several versions of silk sticky silk thickvsilk hanging silk wrapping silk flying silk (for purposes of flying of course) and swimming silk there are some others maybe
In that "secret boss" fight at the beginning of the game, a brazilian streamer named Cellbit managed to get there and tried to beat it. After many failed attempts, he reached an employee to ask if the player could actually kill it in the demo and she said that you will only be able to beat that bug when you acquire a skill (or something like that) further in the game.
>Hornet produces silk naturally >Hornet is a vessel, but isn't made of void >Hornet is the gendered child of the king and the weaver Hornet's made of silk, and her shell naturally weaves Soul into Silk, I'm betting.
She is not a vessel though for she was not made to contain anything but I agree with most everything else but I assumed that the soul thing was the pale kings power
1:43 The poem at the start. You read the whole thing and then also only one half of each side. Almost like a multi poem? They see your beauty. They see your peace. They forget your heart. When you wake. A beast's nature bare to all. So frail and fine. Woven of faith and toil. Bound in slumber and servitude. They shall see your truth. A beast's nature bare to all.
Path of pain was so fun for me and that’s because i have played a lot of platforming games and at least you’re not doing the same thing over and over again like in god home .
I just figured out why the enemies have a stagger animation! It’s hard to catch but you can clearly see hornet hit the enemy multiple times and the hits do not break it’s stagger. This is different to hollow knight, in which hitting a staggered enemy nearly always results in them becoming unstaggered. hope this helps anyone else who was confused about the animation!
I like where you're going, but I want the Knight x Hornet ship to stay strong. Hopefully this is more of a one night stand rather than a full on affair, but you never know do ya?
I started Hollow knight after watching a RUclipsr up untill the Soul Sanctum and I decided the game looked cool. Hadn't even fought the Mantis Lords by the time my impatient ass knew 60% of the game's lore.
@@milenmladenov8242 I did go into the game blind, but after I got the dreamers I was worried I would reset if I beat the game. I looked up all the endings and spoiled it all. I was so close to going into one of the best parts of the game blind, but I screwed it up for myself. Yay me.
The weird butterfly things appear in multiple places in the White Palace in Hollow Knight. They kind of just... fly away in the background. Noticed them when first getting to the White Palace on my own. I was like "I-it's the things!! From that one scene in Silksong!!".
@@madflam3192 I mean, for me it was easier than fighting bosses. I finished path of pain in 40 minutes without too much trouble. I spend over an hour on bosses + rage. Platforming is precise, so the only bullshit is your own mistakes.
I've always said this: if Hornet is void, how did she survive the dream no more ending? All the void drains out of the room and the shades cease to exist. Checkmate Vornets. Edit: Thanks for the likes but I got the term Vornets from the video if you actually cared to watch it :)
"Oh mossbag, Or some say moss, Do you hear our prayers? Grant us lore! Grant us lore!" "Incredible! A lore seacher is a lore seacher even in a trailer!"
what I find interesting is that poem also applies to Hornet's character, they only see her looks, they see that she has faith, they forget that she has a cause to serve, and when she wakes up (seal of binding being destroyed) everyone will see that she has a beast's nature; as in her mother was Herrah the beast.
5:50 - that sure looked close. Imagine if we get the release date pushed forward to April 1st, and after the cutscene the needle just lands clean through Hornet's skull. And then the end credits role. On the 2nd of April Team Cherry would then announce that what you just purchased was a pre-order for June.
What do these bird enemies have? Beaks. Who wore masks with the beak? Plague doctors. What are these guys symbolizing? Plague. What is Hollow Knight about? Insects. What insect spreads plagues? Mosquito. What do mosquitoes have? Needles. Do these needles look like beaks of enemies we see in the video? Sort of. What do mosquitoes do? They fly. Do these characters in game fly? Yes. these things may be mosquitoes, end of the story.
Mossbag stays at home all his life, with the lights out and the windows closed, the only thing illuminating his terrible cave being his computer screen. He has never seen a Mosquito in his entire life, and if anyone claims otherwise, they're Sheldon Cooper incarnated
At first I interpreted the quote entirely in a different way. “They see your beauty, so frail and fine.” Referring to hornet with her elegant nail “They see your peace, woven of faith and toil” How Hornet reached her way of peace after years of faith and toil for the sake of hollow nest “They forget your heart, bound in slumber and servitude” Servitude being how she’s serves for the protection of hollow nest. Forgetting her heart refers to those who captured her forgetting what she is, and that her heart is linked to slumber, due to her mother being a dreamer. “When you wake they shall see your truth” when she awakens from her captured state she immediately shows her strength, her truth of nature, and that those that wished to bring her to Pharloom will see the mistake they made. “A beat’s nature bare to all.” Referring again to her nature as the daughter of the beast, and that when she wakes she immediately shows this heritage by releasing her thread all about her, whether that be voluntarily or involuntarily its still a demonstration of something that is beast like. That was just my interpretation, and though I really like it, I think his is far more likely.
The poem comes after she escapes so it really doesn’t make sense for that part to be a reference to something that already happened, like how would that know? who had to of just written that? i don’t think a lot of the poem is about hornet, some parts maybe but not a lot
mossbag... the reason that Hornet spits out that much silk and looks so surprised is that she is made of printers, yes Hornet is a printer. She was trying to do that silk attack thing while the seal was active, but it stopped her, therefore, when that OP as f*ck tiny glowing white bug broke it, all those silk orders suddenly arrived, which she was not expecting. So conclusion... Hornet is made of screen transitions and printers!! Edit: Here is how I think the death mecanism should of worked for Silksong: No death, just no death. When Hornet gets to 0 masks, she should just flee to a bench, dropping all her roseries because she rushed out so fast, kinda like how you don't kill Hornet when you fight her in Hollow Knight. Another edit: I think that the reason that silk fibers are coming off everyone is that, and this is big speculation, silk is actually a physical/solid manifestation of soul, I think that Hornet just converts the soul into silk when hitting ennemies.
Since weavers weave songs out of silk, making things like the SoB, it's no stretch of the mind to think that spiders can turn soul energy into silk. The knight perceives soul in a different way to hornet, because they use it in different ways. The knight has spell-like usage while hornet complements her own abilities in special ways. Her masks being rebuilt, rather then generating a mask through focus. Using soul to use strings to attack around her rather than the knight being able to focus soul into attacks. This theory makes a lot of sense when you think about it
actually i like the no death idea where she just grapples to safety dropping her money, furthermore it could be upgraded into a fast travel method, as pharloom doesn’t seem to have stag stations or tramways or anything similar
Wait this was made *3 YEARS AGO!?* I was like "Oh wow did new silksong stuff just drop" apparently NOT? Also Lace in silksong probably works like Hornet in HK1, where you fight her once here, then again later. That's probably what the different backgrounds and one fight being more intence then the other is about.

What about seer, since they turned into one?
If you look at a lumafly, it appears to be a single point of light with wings. If you look at these flies, they have a fundamentally different structure. It is possible they could just be less glowy, but I think it's not likely.
It looks more like the bugs that fly very fast in the background from the white palace, definitely significant.

The second hollow knight game is Silksong with Hornet being the playable character and Hornet has called the Knight as Little Ghost. And Lace has called Hornet as Little Spider. So-
But that's just a theory, a HOLLOW theory-

This is going to be hard for me to admit but I have to face my demons eventually.
Before nine months ago, I am ashamed to say that I was once a "Hornet is Void" believer. I know, disgusting. It was a truly dark time for me. I can not even begin to express just how sorry I am for all the hollow brethren I have tainted with my ideology. Everyday I regret my actions as little ghosts of my past still continue to haunt me. On late September of last year, you brought me out of the dark and it changed my life forever. Thank you. Now with this new revelations, I can finally see how truly wrong I was.
Forgive me Mossbag for I have sinned.
It seems that the lore master has acknoledged your plea and forgiven you for your sins. Also hi, glad to see you're alive and well. 😀

I just assumed that tidbit about bugs losing their memories and minds when they leave Hallownest was nothing but lies and propaganda by the King. After all, quite a few come to Hallownest to explore it's depths and quite a few leave during the game as well including the knight himself.
I know this is an older comment, but I think it's worth saying that, at the very least, the loss of memories after leaving Hallownest was absolutely not a lie or propaganda. We saw firsthand with Quirrel that a bug can indeed lose their memories when leaving Hallownest.

Why doesn’t Hornet leave a shade?
Why doesn’t Hornet leak void like the Knight when at one health?
Why would Herrah sacrifice herself for brood, if her child would be killed and hollowed out by void?
Why does Hornet say “your birth” to the Knight when talking about the Abyss? Why not say “our birth”?
What is the purpose of putting void in Hornet if she’s not meant to be a vessel for the Radiance?
Why does Hornet say she lacks the crucial emptiness of the Knight when we know that “emptiness” is a phrase completely synonymous with the void?
Why does Hornet have a gender?
Why does Hornet say the bindings of the Black Egg would drain her if she’s a void being?

"My biggest problem with hollow knight is that it didn't have enough areas like the white palace"
You might be the only one to have ever spoken those words.
I was shocked by the insanity of this thought
Thats it. Downvote, unsub (even though Im not subbed in the first place right now) and a report to the RUclips headquarters. People are getting canceled today.
Honestly I agree with him. I felt Hollow Knight was too combat inclined sometimes. The white palace was the only place that challenged your platforming ability, and (as far as I know, I am like 85% done with the game) that place is done after you get the half of the Kingsoul. In contrast, not only you have a TON of bosses in the main game, now you have Godhome, where you can fight EVEN HARDER versions of them. And honestly, after spending nearly 2 to 3 hours trying to defeat Nightmare King Grimm yesterday and dying over and over again, that massive boss rush to get to Absolute Radiance (which it seems to be the hardest boss in the game as well) does NOT sound fun at all to me. Idk maybe it's just a case of having to Git Gud (TM) or something like that, I'm not the "hardcore" Hollow Knight fan that some people are.
judging by your comment you haven't seen it yet, but there is an optional super hidden zone inside the white palace, while it doesn't stop this statement from being true, it is another platforming area to see
@@thezeitos469 theres no other games that have immensly difficult platforming compared to path of pain also hornet should be more movement based so difficult platforming would make sense
The “invisible health” glitch that occurs when healing also exists in hollow knight, but the only ways to trigger it are with deep focus and Baldur shell, which nobody uses

"Your threats are worthless. If you are my foe, cease this prattle and raise your blade."
I can't believe that people say Hornet is void. She literally says "Though our strength is born of similar source, that part of you, that crucial emptiness, I do not share". She had just mentioned that the knight is imbued with void after going into its birthplace, so that emptiness she talks about is void, which she explicitly says she does not share. The strength they share is their father.
People just like being stupid I guess. Really there isn't any evidence that hornet is void at all
People want to be different and special
Your saying the knight wasn't filled with void before getting the void heart?
@@Crunchy8bitblocks he was filled with void, but couldnt use it until he got the voidheart
Also, in the Dream No More Ending, you literally see all of the void siblings (The Knight included) passing on, since their task is finished. Hornet stays behind.
The ledge grab is all I need to prove that this would be a great buy.
When attacking siblings, void entities, no soul is obtained
When attacking Hornet in her fights, soul is obtained
Coincidence? I THINK NOT
Pale King: "Void for you, void for you, void for you, void for y-"
*notices* *it's* *Hornet*
"No void for you. Yo mama wants you to have a soul or something like that."
Here is a conter argument and a counter to the counter. BuT ThE PuRe VeSsEl GiVeS SoUl. The hunters journal say that it's shell gives off a pale light, so that pale light is probably reminiscent soul.

Things I hope to see:
-Dreams and Void expended upon
-The Hollow Knight as a NPC
-Mentions about the fate of the White Lady and Unn
-Bretta
-At least 1 journal entry about wtf happened to the Knight after creating or summoning the Shade Lord
Why though? Why Bretta? If she is strong enough to survive in the wastelands then EVERYONE is able to. She pretty much commited suicide.
(Also, dreams were a thing in Hallownest with moth tribe, Dreamers and Radiance. Pharloom doesn't have anything to do with dreams, plus Hornet doesn't have a dream nail)
(Also, White Lady and Unn are unrelated to Hornet. Her parents are Pale King and Herrah)
@@neyte7313 I just want to see a continuation of her story
Dreams are not tied to the Radiance, Hallownest or the Moth Tribe, the Radiance is a higher being that lives within the Dream, anyone can create their own Dream world if they want to, also the Grimm troupe is still around, which means Nightmare is still a thing
Hornet has nothing to do with Unn and not much connection to the White Lady, but they are still extremely powerfull entities, without the Radiance who knows what they will do to Hallownest, that's why I wish we can get at least a mention to what is going on in Hallownest after the Radiance was killed
If you mean The Hollow Knight as like your character in the first game then hes kinda dead or sealing the radiance
@@aaaa-kr1qb Actually he may not be dead. After becoming completely void he goes on to defeat Radiance completely in the True Ending. I believe he won't make an appearance in Silksong but I would love to hear him mentioned as I really grew attached to him and he deserves recognition for his legendary feat.
@@neyte7313 I doubt Bretta is dead. While we may know that Quirrel and The Knight are the only known characters to survive beyond the Howling Cliffs. I think for Bretta to make it to the Fungal Wastes where she is rescued I think she has some abilities in survival. She is probably a terrible fighter but maybe she can run really fast? Who knows?
I love how Forge Daughter laughs whenever you keep ringing her brother's bell helmet.
I think the reason lace still gives off silk is because Hornet, like the weavers, knows the art of sort of ‘twisting’ soul she gathers form enemies into a silk. Lace probably isn’t haunted but gives off silk because that is hornet turning her soul into silk.
Thats so fucking cool
@@irabbit_ Soul is known to twist minds (everyone in the soul sanctum), so maybe it's being used to puppeteer the enemies.
I think personally that she is physically connected to the needle and sucks life fluids like bug juice and blood off her enemies. This can be evidenced by her lack of a mouth and her lack of hunger. If she really had no mouth she would be hungry. And if she was hungry she would die all the time. Because we only see her die to enemies, this means that she is not hungry, which means she has a mouth. And since we don't see her taking in anything edible from other parts of her body, that obviously means she is taking it in from her only point of contact with edible things (her fellow bugs), which is her needle. We've established that her needle has a mouth and she sucks nutrients from other bugs it. We also know that spiders in real life produce silk out of organic components they find in their prey. Therefore, my theory is that Hornet uses her extra limb(like a proboscis) to eat her enemies alice, that the remains of the enemies pass through her stomach and are digested, and that she uses the nutrients from them to produce and spit out silk. This also explains her name, hornet, as she has a proboscis like a bumblebee, and hornets look alike to bumblebees in real life.
@@irabbit_ hence why the weaver charm uses soul to create spiders
Hey could this be the reason ‘the beast’ wanted a child with the pale king? So that one day a demigod could free the weavers from whoever has imprisoned them?
This is a really underrated comment, amazing idea!
@@christophvonpezold4699 indeed !!
I think the Weavers made a deal with Herrah, their dreamnail dialogue suggest they created the Weaversong charm to protect Hornet in exchange for something
...Herrah...
...Princess...
...For protection...
...For bargain made...
Good theory!
interesting point
I learned literally nothing except that the entirety of the moss creatures are Mossbag's family

Um you accidentally capitalized mossbag
As far as Pharloom's Folly, they may be talking about Hornet herself, as her mother was Herrah the Beast. She's supposed to be pretty, frail and fine in appearance as the hunter describes her as nimble. She's a spider, hence the woven of faith and toil and has been one of the few fighting against the infection and trying to save Hallownest in the last game. She never really had a chance to interact with her mother or father and rarely let her emotions get in the way of serving the kingdom and the last part kind of implies the game. Hornet is a spider, or a beast as her mother was once named. She's about to go to town, and their folly was messing with her.
I agree. Great insight.

Remember when Hornet's egg was thrown into the abyss and infused with void so that she would be born a void entity?...
Wait, that never happened. She was given to bees and infused with honey... She's a honey entity. Buzz buzz.

Born of three queens:
Birthed by Hereah, queen of Deepnest
Raised by the White Lady, spouse of the Pale King
Trained by Vespa, queen of the Hive

what I find interesting is that poem also applies to Hornet's character,
they only see her looks, they see that she has faith, they forget that she has a cause to serve,
and when she wakes up (seal of binding being destroyed) everyone will see that she has a beast's nature; as in her mother was Herrah the beast.
Ah. *So hornet is made of screen transitions.*

wut
5:50 - that sure looked close. Imagine if we get the release date pushed forward to April 1st, and after the cutscene the needle just lands clean through Hornet's skull. And then the end credits role. On the 2nd of April Team Cherry would then announce that what you just purchased was a pre-order for June.
I would love and hate that because I would cry for hornet cause I love her so much
What do these bird enemies have? Beaks.
Who wore masks with the beak? Plague doctors.
What are these guys symbolizing? Plague.
What is Hollow Knight about? Insects.
What insect spreads plagues? Mosquito.
What do mosquitoes have? Needles.
Do these needles look like beaks of enemies we see in the video? Sort of.
What do mosquitoes do? They fly.
Do these characters in game fly? Yes.
these things may be mosquitoes, end of the story.
Mossbag stays at home all his life, with the lights out and the windows closed, the only thing illuminating his terrible cave being his computer screen.
He has never seen a Mosquito in his entire life, and if anyone claims otherwise, they're Sheldon Cooper incarnated
The mosquitoes in Hollow Knight look nothing like these guys, though. I think they might be horseflies.
4 year old video: She said that the development is wrapping up. This is definitely true
literally everybody: music theory
mossbag: music lore
At first I interpreted the quote entirely in a different way. “They see your beauty, so frail and fine.” Referring to hornet with her elegant nail “They see your peace, woven of faith and toil” How Hornet reached her way of peace after years of faith and toil for the sake of hollow nest “They forget your heart, bound in slumber and servitude” Servitude being how she’s serves for the protection of hollow nest. Forgetting her heart refers to those who captured her forgetting what she is, and that her heart is linked to slumber, due to her mother being a dreamer. “When you wake they shall see your truth” when she awakens from her captured state she immediately shows her strength, her truth of nature, and that those that wished to bring her to Pharloom will see the mistake they made. “A beat’s nature bare to all.” Referring again to her nature as the daughter of the beast, and that when she wakes she immediately shows this heritage by releasing her thread all about her, whether that be voluntarily or involuntarily its still a demonstration of something that is beast like. That was just my interpretation, and though I really like it, I think his is far more likely.
but the poem is called Pharloom´s folly not Hornet´s folly. Also, why would there even be a poem about Hornet in Pharloom?
The poem comes after she escapes so it really doesn’t make sense for that part to be a reference to something that already happened, like how would that know? who had to of just written that? i don’t think a lot of the poem is about hornet, some parts maybe but not a lot
What a long comment. I'm not reading this
"a beat's nature bare to all"
Thanks to your typo, now i can't get beatboxing Hornet out of my head
@@santiagocedeno2749 yeah this theory is bad
mossbag... the reason that Hornet spits out that much silk and looks so surprised is that she is made of printers, yes Hornet is a printer. She was trying to do that silk attack thing while the seal was active, but it stopped her, therefore, when that OP as f*ck tiny glowing white bug broke it, all those silk orders suddenly arrived, which she was not expecting. So conclusion... Hornet is made of screen transitions and printers!!
Edit: Here is how I think the death mecanism should of worked for Silksong: No death, just no death. When Hornet gets to 0 masks, she should just flee to a bench, dropping all her roseries because she rushed out so fast, kinda like how you don't kill Hornet when you fight her in Hollow Knight.
Another edit: I think that the reason that silk fibers are coming off everyone is that, and this is big speculation, silk is actually a physical/solid manifestation of soul, I think that Hornet just converts the soul into silk when hitting ennemies.
Huh... I never really thought of that, thanks for the awsome theory.
Its 100% accurate
Edit: also this needs more likes!
@@dudguys1194 Thanks lol!
Since weavers weave songs out of silk, making things like the SoB, it's no stretch of the mind to think that spiders can turn soul energy into silk. The knight perceives soul in a different way to hornet, because they use it in different ways. The knight has spell-like usage while hornet complements her own abilities in special ways. Her masks being rebuilt, rather then generating a mask through focus. Using soul to use strings to attack around her rather than the knight being able to focus soul into attacks. This theory makes a lot of sense when you think about it
actually i like the no death idea where she just grapples to safety dropping her money, furthermore it could be upgraded into a fast travel method, as pharloom doesn’t seem to have stag stations or tramways or anything similar
@@sleepyppl4286 In the trailer Hornet is seen riding something
Wait this was made *3 YEARS AGO!?*
I was like "Oh wow did new silksong stuff just drop" apparently NOT?
Also Lace in silksong probably works like Hornet in HK1, where you fight her once here, then again later. That's probably what the different backgrounds and one fight being more intence then the other is about.
